What could possibly be better than watching Oprah, Tyra, or Rachel Ray on TV? Being there in person, of course!

But before you can laugh, cry, and shout "You go, girl!" with a couple hundred of your fellow daytime-TV-obsessed compatriots, you may need to take a long, hard look at your wardrobe. It turns out all of the major talk show divas have more in common than good looks and matriarchal sass -- according to WWD, each one insists on a dress code for their audience.

Tyra and Rachel say no to flip-flops, shorts, white t-shirts, velour sweatshirts, sneakers, ripped jeans and tanked tops. Ladies sitting in on Martha Stewart should think "dressy and fun,"' while guys should shoot for something you could wear to your local country club.

So that's why everyone in the audience of those shows looks frumpy and lame!

According to producers, these guidelines keep the audience looking "camera-ready." But I have a sneaking suspicion that they just don't want anyone dressing better than the host.
