What is Oprah's secret?

[malaise]

Was she adopted?

Was she kidnapped?

Did she rise from the dead?

Is she from Mars?

Does she know how to top the ratings better than anyone else?

For these and other mysteries tune in tomorrow :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

1. that the baby she had as a teen didn't die?

that's about the only thing I can think of, other than one of her parents not being her biological parent.

[RichGirl]

14. That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!

Back then, Mississippi, crazy stuff happened.

But, if that's the case, wouldn't she just do a press release? Using it for her show...is so...not right.

[WolverineDG]

20. Probably to take the bite out of whatever tabloid was going to run with it

sure she could have done it with a press release, but who would have believed her? there are still people out there who think she & Gayle are an item, even though she denied it in a Barbara Walters interview.

:shrug:

I can easily see her family telling her the baby died when it was in fact adopted out. Back then, that's what they told girls. Doesn't make it right, but that's what they did.

2. Gayle King(sp) is her daughter ?....nt

[Phentex]

5. Mom gives birth to daughter same year she was born!

It's all over the Enquirer, lol.

I saw Gayle's show the other day and I was noticing how similar her voice is to Oprah's. And some of her mannerisms are too, but it's probably because they spend so much time together.

[LisaL]

37. That would be the mother of all secrets. LOL.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Whatever it is, it will be an anti-climax. Kitty Kelley would've put it in her book otherwise.

[LibDemAlways]

4. Oprah must have a hell of a lot of clout. That book sank faster

that the one Kelly wrote about the Bushes. No media interviews. Nothing.

As for the big surprise I'm thinking maybe a sister she never knew she had. I don't think it will be anything earth shattering.

[Phentex]

6. I think her biggest surprise...

is that she doesn't have one. :P

[bettyellen]

8. it's probably something from Kelly's book- Oprah is pretending like it was never written

[Raschel]

32. I'm going with the sibling too.

:hi:

[LibDemAlways]

34. Hey, we're right! Half-sister!! n/t

[cbdo2007]

7. It was from that book recently - that the guy she thought was her dad, wasn't her real dad

but the author tracked down who her real dad is and told Oprah who is now in contact with him.

She'll bring him out on the show tomorrow and talk about it.

[barbiegeek]

9. Didn't she do some DNA ancestry testing?

Maybe she found some 1/2 siblings or is biologically related to someone else famous (deceased or alive) or found her DNA family in Africa.

[doc03]

13. Dick Cheney is her half brother n/t

[RichGirl]

15. Maybe they were conjoined twins.

When they were separated, she got the pigment and the heart.

Isn't Cheney related to Obama...and both are related to Kevin Bacon. Well, we ALL are related to Kevin Bacon.

[Raschel]

33. Wait - she IS related to Elvis. Maybe she's been hiding him?

[barbiegeek]

10. It's a Family Reunion Special--so we know for sure it's a relative

i guess a Sibling

[RichGirl]

16. She's never seemed very fond of relatives.

They want money and tell secrets if they don't get it. I would think if she were told she had another relative, that would not necessarity be good news. In the clip they show her crying. Maybe she's thinking...OH NO...another person who going to try to cash in on my success!!!

[Recovered Repug]

11. She's Luke Skywalker's real mother. /nt

[Myrina]

12. ... she's POTUS's long lost other-sister ...

:shrug:

[PBS Poll-435]

17. Green is Stedman's favorite color nt

[Duwamish]

18. Oprah has all the money.

I heard it on Letterman once. He was being snarky but he raises a good point: money talks.

[WiffenPoof]

19. Well, Here's A Burning Issue...

of our times.

-PLA

[sufrommich]

21. Palmolive. She's soaking in it! nt

[Phentex]

22. LOL!

I love some of these answers! :)

[malaise]

24. They're freaking Duzys

:rofl:

[shireen]

23. she's going to rip off her mask and reveal her true identity ....

[zappaman]

25. She is Jesus

He is back and in her form.
Look into your heart and you will see this to be true.

[Stevenmarc]

26. She's a fundamentalist Mormon, married to Stedman and Gayle's her sister wife

[Lucian]

27. The real question is: does anyone care?

[B Calm]

28. She is going to give away her fortune to Democratic Underground!

[Taitertots]

29. Oprah's secret is that she could only become rich because there is systemic inequality

Oprah's secret is to protect the economic components of our system which advance the concentration of wealth.

Which is why she spends a tiny fraction of her money "helping" people and hoards the rest away. It is why she gives just enough for some people to love her, but never enough for the downtrodden to raise themselves up, and certainly never enough to decrease from her power, influence, or wealth.

[Hannah Bell]

30. she's a long-time shill for the ptb?

[TeeYiYi]

31. That she's a grandma. nt

TYY

[Jeanette in FL]

35. And the answer is......

http://www.indystar.com/article/20110124/NEWS/110124019/1004/SPORTS/Today-s-Talker-Oprah-has-sister-she-didn-t-know-of?odyssey=mod|lateststories

She has a half sister that she never knew about. Her mother had a daughter that she put up for adoption and never told Oprah.

[LisaL]

36. I guessed that what it was going to be.

[SoCalDem]

39. Oprah's Mom sounds like a pip..

:)

[SoCalDem]

38. She has a half sister

Probably lots of people have "unusual" family connections:)

That woman is a lucky woman:)

After all the falderal Oprah will probably shower her with hundred dollar bills:)

[malaise]

40. You're right

OPRAH Winfrey has revealed that she has a half-sister whose existence was kept secret from her for 47 years.

The U.S. talk show host said she was ‘shocked to the core’ last November to learn that her mother Vernita Lee had another daughter, Patricia, who she had given up for adoption shortly after her birth in 1963.

Winfrey, 56, has now met up with her half-sister, whose surname has not been released, and the two have been reunited with their mother for the first time as adults.
