"Oprah's Not Gay" - says suspected lover

Suffering Sappho

Oprah Winfrey is one of America's most prominent asexual celebrities. She's right up there with Amy Sedaris. Since coming into the public eye Oprah has had a long term on again off again relationship with motivational speaker Stedman Graham. Graham is tall, rugged, successful, and kind of good looking - so naturally people began wondering why the relationship didn't go anywhere. Now in entertainment that kind of speculation usually leads to one area - gay rumours.

going nowhere and waiting to come

When Gayle King came out of the wood work it only added fuel to the speculation fires. Oprah seemed to be spending a lot more time with her new BFF that with her significant other - Stedman. Oprah & Gayle went on road trips and various other mid life adventures together. They even crashed some weddings. When 2 unattached adults of the same gender start spending all their free time together, naturally tongues start to wags as eye brows start to raise.

the rumours of my sex life have been greatly exagerated

Unlike Tom Cruise - who went ballistic on Oprah's couch over his professed love for Katie Holmes - Oprah has never ever seen fit to directly address the rumours about her personal life. That does Oprah much credit for good sense. Nobody believes denials in this cynical age. Yet if you don't address it then it's not an issue (if you can't quit while you're ahead then at least shut up before you say too much; like TV's David Letterman just managed to do). Besides look what the spin control did to Cruise. That doesn't mean that Ms. King might not open up and talk about things from time to time.

"So what's the sore?" - "Let me hum a few bars to see if you know it."

Gayle was recently asked by TMZ what the score was with her and Oprah. Are they just 2 single ladies sharing a mid life crisis, or is there more going on than we realize. King took the opportunity to set the record straight by assuring TMZ that Winfrey is not one bit gay. Let's have a look at that brief video clip:

They fish together ... they camp together ... they shack up together .... but Oprahs' BFF Gayle King still insists the famous lesbian rumors are purely "ridiculous."

Well there you have it - sort of. Ms Gayle is obviously so straight that she wouldn't know a gay person if she were being bitten on the ass interviewed by one. That goes double for her boss. The comments were very non committal too, so I'm sure that the Big O will be pleased. No one talks for Lady O, not unless they have first received specific instructions about what they can and can not say. God help them if they screw that up too.

So that explains everything. I'm glad too. This lesbian tittle tattle was really getting way out of hand. Maybe now Oprah and Gayle can get back to living their lives and enjoying such non lesbian activities s fly fishing together. PS I hear that Oprah bought the lake before she and Gayle arrived, perhaps to make sure that meddlesome busybodies didn't get the wrong idea about two single 50 something gals fly fishing together. You know how people can talk!
