Oprah’s tamed Kitty
Kitty Kelley is well known for writing tell-alls about well knowns


Author Kitty Kelley has written a tell-all book about the most recognized media figure in America, Oprah Winfrey. The unauthorized biography, Oprah: A biography by all accounts only lends to what most of the talk-show diva’s fans and Hollywood knows, from here humble beginnings, to a teenage pregnancy, peppered with allegations about considering prostitution at a young age and speculation about her sexual orientation.

Miss Winfrey has proven to anyone that will look objectively that she has an enormous marketing talent and sound business sense. And like some before her in showbiz (like Seinfeld); she’s made the announcement her day time talk show is coming to an end. Indeed, her ratings have been sliding in the latest Neilson ratings book but she remains a media force.

And that’s probably why Kelley hasn’t gotten much face time to promote her work. Many of the morning talk shows have said thanks-but-no-thanks to interviews. Host Bill O’Reilly did interview the author last week. Mr. O’Reilly, no fan of paparazzi or salacious publications gave her a stark reality interview and Miss Kelley defended her work.

But like most tell-alls, it relies heavily on information provided by those only too eager to give it. One must wonder why the public would want to know such alleged intimate details about a public figure that doesn’t hold elected office.
