As much as I dislike Oprah, I have a massive amount of respect for her. She's pulled herself up from having absolutely nothing to becoming one of the most recognisable people in the world today. I've no interest in her show, what she endorses, her network or that nonsense, mind. I feel that it's remarkable, however that she's accomplished so much despite surely have to deal with racism when it was more acceptable and the complete lack of anything like a silver spoon.

Oh I hate her so much.

She now has shows on her own network (no pun intended) and when she goes to celebs homes she always asks them how they cope with media intrusion into wanting to know about their personal relationships and then she goes on to that very think: asks about their personal relationship, as if her nosiness is somehow different to everyone else's nosiness. She will also then usually have a whine about how people are so celebrity obsessed and materialistic these days, as she sits there in her Guicci heels, on yet another A lister's sofa. She has to be one of the biggest hypocrites to ever have walked the Earth.

Back in the 89, when she was on a level with Jerry Springer, she used to have those nuts on her show that said they were sexually abused by satanists in the woods and seen children being sacrificed. She believed ever word of it. Around that time Letterman came to do his show in Chicago and invited her on (this is where their feud began, despite her repeatedly saying in many many interviews, until quite recently, that she had noooooooo idea how or why it had happened..shows she's a liar if nothing else) and 3 minutes into the interview she starts saying that black people are never seen in restaurants. Dave of course laughed at her, as did the crowd, and she was fuming. It went south from there. Next Dave brings the 'Satantic Dismemberment' guests she had on her show the week before and takes the royal piss. The crowd started encouraging Dave and she goes full wacko Here is that interview.

The woman in that infamous satanic ritual show has since gone on to to be shown as a hoaxer. In fact she later wrote a book claiming to be a Holcaust survivor. Que 25 years later and Letterman appears on her new show (can't find footage of it, she must have it pulled from YT) and she brings that '89 show up and twists the whole thing. Says the crowd were mean to her and infers that it was Dave's fault. Dave, the gentleman that he is and not wanting an argument, apologizes for the show. A toe up her arse is what he should have given her.

Lets not forget this is the woman that gave us Dr.Phil also.
She has a new life coach she wheels out these days. Equally as irritating I bet.
