Sarah Palin is blowing off Oprah Winfrey!

"I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over...I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta [Van Susteren]. She talked to Matt [Lauer]. She talked to Larry [King]," Winfrey tells Extra. "But she didn't talk to me."

But Winfrey doesn't think she'll stay away for long.

"Maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal," she said. Winfrey's book club propels novels onto bestselling lists.

One guest that's always welcome? Barack Obama, of course! Winfrey is even taping her talk show from Washington DC during Inauguration week.

"There's always an open invitation for the president-elect and first lady," she says.

Winfrey chatted with Extra at the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater's 50th Annual Anniversary Celebration Wednesday night in NYC - and quipped she dreams of becoming a dancer after a few drinks.

"In my wildest, wildest, crazy, crazy dreams, I am a dancer," she jokes. "When I've, like, had too many tequila shots and I go to sleep, I dream of being a dancer."

Winfrey also revealed the one thing she had to rescue from her Santa Barbara, California, home when it was threatened by wildfires last month: her book of letters from Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and all the young women who attended her 2006 Legends Ball.

"When the fires were coming and the flames were a blowin', I said, 'Get my letters!'" she says.
