Marysafan, I think she'd have been ok if she hadn't made the call to Larry King. Without that, the "duped" part would have rung clearer. I truly believe she was, but hurt herself with her defense of the book.

Darrellh, I agree. When I first heard about it, my very first reaction was..."Oh my, Oprah's gonna be pissed." And when she not only wasn't pissed, but stood up and defended the book and the author in that phone call to Larry King, it spoke volumes about where her priorities lie.

The woman who proclaims to the world about "truth" was all of sudden poopooing it. You had to wonder why.

years ago Oprah took a hit with her book club when it was revealed that she was promoting a book in her book club that she had bought the movie rights to. She hadn't disclosed that information.

I wonder if she has a financial interest in this book too.

I was also appalled when Oprah called in to Larry King and said what she said, that somehow because a book "resonates" with her and many others (and yes, apparently has helped some people) that the ends justified the means. Yeah, right! And that included Oprah's means (since she puts her name on the front cover of each book.

My local Barnes & Noble still has the book (and his second book) prominently displayed and touted, as of Tuesday, when I was there.

I feel that it detracted from so many very true stories of difficult lives and the overcoming thereof.

Oprah admitted her "mistake" today on live tv and regrets what she said on the Larry King show. The author has written a disclaimer and given it to the publisher to be placed on any future printings of the book.

Not sure that I believe the Dom and Evie/Lost engagement news. The British tabloids regularly report that Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth are thisclose to getting married and it turns out to be a cloud of black smoke. The article in the Mirror claimed that Dom proposed last week in Hawaii, which would have been difficult seeing as how he has been in LA since at least January 9th (he was on Kimmel that night, was in Pasadena hanging with other hobbits on the 22nd, and will be on Leno on the 30th). They make a cute couple though, so if/when it does happen, more power to them.

Sad about Chris Penn. Loved him in Footloose.

Don't know where else to put this, but, Michelle Kwan has just been approved to skate in Torino. So very happy for her. She deserved the nod.

LOL My first reaction to that picture was, "They look so. .. out of character!" Then I read Froggie's speculation about Photoshop and went, "Duh! No wonder!" :-)

Ummmm....I swear that is a picture from someone's 1987 prom.

I think I wore a bubble skirt to one of my friends' bar mitzvahs.

LOS ANGELES - It's a boy, and a girl, for acting duo Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance. The couple are new parents of twins, a publicist for the pair announced Monday.

The babies were born Jan. 27 to a surrogate mother, Alex Dubee said.

Bassett and Vance have been married for eight years.

Bassett, 47, won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of singer Tina Turner in the 1993 biopic "What's Love Got to Do with It." Vance, 45, plays district attorney Ron Carver on the NBC show "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

I loved her in Waiting to Exhale. Wonder why they used a surrogate.
