Well, ended up buying the .com domain for this person's name. Maybe I'll
just hold it for awhile and just see if she wants the name. If I do this or
go beyond this and start creating a website around the themes associated
with her name, just hope she sees this as neutral or positive rather than
creepy or causing hassles. Maybe I better grab the .net one as well? I
think if I could somehow get Oprah or her employer in on this, it could be a
pretty cool thing to give her a developed website related to all this and
what else she has done professionally. But I'll have to see.

There is a good chance that a cybersquatter has grabbed it as a
consequence of your search. There are bunches of sites that offer to
check domain names, but are really gathering information for
cybersquatters. Some people have claimed that this happens with GoDaddy's
domain name check. Best policy is to never check unless you intend to
register an available name immediately.
