If you’re keeping track of Oprah these days, stick a pushpin in Haiti.

Newspapers in Port-au-Prince yesterday were buzzing with the news that the talk-show queen is due there on Saturday.

She is apparently going to interview actor Sean Penn there for her new series called “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” set to debut next month.

Local officials are hoping exposure on the new show will help bring tourists back to the island.

“We want to ensure that Ms. Winfrey shows beautiful images of Haiti, not just the camps,” Haiti’s minister of foreign affairs told one local paper.

Haiti has been struggling to come back from a devastating earthquake last January that killed over 200,000 people and, at its peak, left 1.5 million homeless.
