Stalking Oprah
When you go after Oprah Winfrey you'd better go loaded for bear. That's what Kitty Kelley usually does whenever she writes an unauthorized biography about any of her high profiles targets. now the Queen of dirt wants to add Oprah Winfrey to her trophy collection.taking the heat over cold shoulder
Kelley has just released her new Oprah book and it appears to follow form with her Sinatra, the Royals, the Bushes, etc. bios. There's already a lot of talk about drugs, incest, prostitution, homosexuality, Gayle King, and the Kitty Kelley media freeze out! Who knew that Oprah lived such an interesting life?
the Oprah Effect 2.0
Ms. Kelley seems particularly concerned with the freeze out. Usually whenever Kitty writes a tell all, the interviewers line up. Not now. Apparently Oprah is using her massive influence, the kind she used to make Dr Phil, Dr Oz, and Rachel Ray household names, to keep Kitty off of the talk show circuit. Of course that hasn't stopped people from talking about it. Quite the contrary! Here's a little news clip featuring Ms Kelley discussing her unauthorized book and it's unofficial reaction.
fame in the sleaze age
Oprah should've realized the day that Tom Cruise hopped off her couch and into celebrity crazytown that no one can control their own image in the information age. What's more fame can turn on you to the point where everyone can cash in on your secrets, except you. Sandra Bullock could've explained that sad fact to her. So will you be lining up for your copy of the book that promises to tell you about the real Oprah? I'm sure that Tom Cruise already has his advance copy - complete with special deleted chapters. Fame still has it's privileges - though it's a much bigger pain in the ass than it used to be.
"Despite your effort...
despite your might...
you cannot escape...
from Oprah's sight..."
despite your might...
you cannot escape...
from Oprah's sight..."
Just because Oprah is freezing Kelley out of the talk show circuit doesn't mean that Oprah is unaware of the book's existence. Oprah directly addressed the book recently at the Matrix Awards. While Oprah skipped the usual red carpet, she did launch into the book, describing it as a 'so called' biography.
Then she went right into a spiel about her mysterious BFF Gayle King. Oprah said that King had her hands full with all of Oprah's new biodads coming out of the work work. They probably want a piece of the action, or at least one of those new cars Oprah is so fond of giving away. Oprah then went on to describe Gayle as a wonderful friend who cares more about Lady O than she does her self, and who has never ever been jealous of Oprah no not one day in her life (except for an incident involving Oprah and Tina Turner!). Complete dog like devotion is all that any celeb asks from their companions and that's a tall order when you're so full of
Oprah's final word on the book - "This to shall pass."
Oprah might be on to something with the "this to shall pass" idea - even though it's not original. As previously posted right here on Wondertrash Mad Mel Gibson has split from his Russian sugartits Oksana Grigorieva shortly after the birth of their child Lucia. It's even worse than that, Oksana is having her Mel tattoo removed. The tattoo in question is a small hammer & sickle on her ankle that Mel advised her to get. Who knew Mel's mind worked that way? No word on whether or not she's having the 10 pounds of facial filler removed.
Bogus zen: Celebrities have a head for heights, unfortunately many of them haven't learned the fine art of taking a fall. Tom Cruise didn't even managed to make the 2 foot hop from Oprah's couch unscathed (he only damaged his ego, but when you're a Follywood celebrities that's one of your most important assets!). So here now is a Wondertrash thought of the day: Remember that it's better to be on the ground wising that you were flying, than flying and wishing you were on the ground.
