"O" for cryin' out loud, Oprah!

Has anyone watched the Oprah show lately? I'll see bits and pieces every once in a while during naptime. I haven't watched it a whole bunch over the last two years, but I do like the decorating shows when Nate (yummy, gorgeous, beautiful, fabulous, gay, best-style-ever Nate) is on, and I like shows regarding aging and food with Dr. Oz and so on. So if you've tuned in at all...does she seem like a total witch or is it just me?

I read James Frey's book, "A Million Little Pieces" about his "true" account of his addiction and rehab experience. It was her selection for her book club. Okay, he exaggerated most of it, blah, blah. Did anyone see that episode? Totally not cool that he said it was an autobiography when it should have been fiction, but when she had him on her show to discuss it, I felt like she was incensed, not because he pulled the wool over the public's eyes, but that he did it to HER. Very uncomfortable. And then Ron Goldman's Dad and sister were on talking about how they were releasing OJ's book, "If I Did It". They're only making 17 cents a book and they're giving that to foundations, blah, blah again. They mostly just wanted to get OJ's confession out there and take any money he could make away from him. Well Miss Thing obviously didn't agree with it, and was such a bitch to them. She sighed a lot was short with them, and so on (Jay thought so too). I know it's her show, but so much for unbiased interviewing.

And lastly, I've been annoyed with her ever since I heard her comment on why her and Steadman haven't married. I tried looking it up on Google but can't find it. I am so fine with couples who decide not to marry, but her quote made it sound like it was so beneath her, and that those of us who do decide (to go through with this sacred bond) are silly and foolish.

She looked bigger today than she did last year. Like, by a lot. Is she annoyed her weight isn't under control? Or is she sitting on something uncomfortable like a corn cob? I'll report back when I see her happy and smiling like she actually want's to be there.

LONG LIVE "THE HILLS"!!

You are too funny and wow! Those are some old shows..lots of reruns on huh? I do like Dr. Oz, but don't watch it much. Used to watch Ellen and Oprah, but now if it's on, it's background noise for editing!!!

I only watched bits and pieces of the hills cause we're working on the basement, but I'll catch up tomorrow! I love it!

By the Way Jami, I'm so proud of you for the blogging!

I used to watch Oprah a lot, but I haven't been watching really ever since I had Anessa. I do agree, she bugs!! I have it on a lot of times, but like Colleen, it is just background noise. Personally, I think she is sort of snobby.

Oprah's annoying. Too opinionated. I obviously don't watch it because I am not home...though, yes, I could DVR it - but I choose not to.
I do like Ellen. At least she makes me laugh and she has on fun stuff normally.
