It's about Oprah, who isn't one of my ZING!1 subjects. But I'll forever love her Nancy RAYGAN and SINATRA work. I was disappointed that she low balled the B.F.E.E. Never read her Jackie & royals books.
LAUER was despicable to her on the first of two days on Today, when the B.F.E.E. book was out. Not that it was because of little *me*, but I actually long distance CALLED the Today show and actually got to TALK to a producer and gave them HADES for kow-towing to the B.F.E.E. and mistreating KELLEY. The second day LAUER was a lot nicer.
So if she won't be allowed on The View, Dave, BEHAR shows --where, oh where, will I see her.

The Secret Sharer
Your unauthorized biography of Oprah Winfrey, who turned daytime television into a form of confession and became one of the wealthiest women in the world, comes out this week. The book presents her as a cold manipulator who requires everyone around her to sign confidentiality agreements. What do you consider the most significant disclosure in the book? Was Oprah more restrictive than Frank Sinatra, a previous subject of yours? Absolutely.
More restrictive than Nancy Reagan, another subject of yours? Yes, and I’ll tell you why. In promoting this book, we have already been told by Barbara Walters’s producer, No, you cannot be on “The View,” I cannot disrupt my relationship with Oprah. Joy Behar, the same thing. Charlie Rose; Larry King said, I will not do it, it might upset Oprah. Even David Letterman.
Why would they care about impressing her? She’s about to start her own cable network. They’re not dependent on income from her. Well, if you had a choice between being a friend of Oprah Winfrey or Kitty, no contest, right? ....
Why don’t you write a biography of Dick Cheney Oh, God. I approached Oprah with a great deal of admiration and respect. That might be missing if I were to approach the subject of Dick Cheney.
