Kitty Kelley Dishes on Oprah
Two Cents - Your Two Cents!

Celebrity chronicler Kitty Kelley is set to release her latest unauthorized biography on none other than the Queen of Daytime Talk, Oprah Winfrey. In the new book, which is already stirring up controversy, Kelley addresses such topics as Winfrey's sexuality, the baby she had at 15 and her childhood molestation claims. In doing research for the book, at least 30% of Kelley's interview requests were denied (Maria Shriver, Maya Angelou, Barbara Walters to name a few), and when it comes to promoting her new book, shows including The View, The Late Show with David Letterman, and Larry King Live! have all refused to book Kelley.

Question: What is your opinion of "unauthorized biographies" - do they convey accurate and reliable information or are they just gossip?

Does Kitty need some cash? Unauthorized bio is just speculation not actual facts. People like Kitty Kelly wouldn't like it if someone intruded into their lives like that. Oprah's past is her business. I won't give a dime nor do I plan on reading her book. These folks actually destroy people's lives and careers.

This doesn't say where she got her information. Have the facts been researched? What's Kitty's motive?
The tongue (and the pen) is more deceitful than any thing else. If we tear each other up then we tear our society down. We need to focus on the good in others and build each other up. I would not read this or anything that digs deep in the past in order to make the present look bad.
TRASH

I am definitely not interested in anything to do with Oprah Winfrey or this other person writing a book. It is all trash [true facts on not]. Our society should be ignoring all this junk. I am surprised that the "View' and "Letterman" didn't pick up on this garbage. They usually thrive on this find of crap. Too many serious isues going on that we all should be concerned with - like our present economy and too many people without jobs.
Who the Hell is Kitty Kelley, anyway?

The book is not worth the paper it is written on. Kitty Kelly will find that it was just a waste of time.
Hopefully, I am normal

Who cares? Who is Kitty Kelly? No way would I waste my time reading this. (Even if Oprah ghost wrote it.)

Won't read it...sick and tired of people thinking they can blaspheme, hurt others with no consequences. Proverbs 26:27 (New Living Translation)

If you set a trap for others,you will get caught in it yourself.
If you roll a boulder down on others,it will crush you instead.


Jealous

The book have to facts, so how reliable is it anyway, but, even if all is true, with Oprahs contribution in life and the life of others that she has touched so much who in the hell cares what her personal life is all about, just that all, our personal life is just that.

Come on Kitty Kat, or Kitty Keller, what ever your name is? Can't you do something more worthwild that will make a difference in the world.....please jealousey will get you no where.

Buy it? No. Go to the books store and skim for the juicy parts? Maybe.
Who cares what Kitty Kelly says about Oprahho?

If Kitty Kelly can make a buck off writing about OW, fact of fiction, more power to her. She won't be making a dime off of a purchase by me. I could care less about OW, her background, her present, or her future. She has so many "suckee" followers, she is set for life.

I don't read unauthorized bios of any one. If someone wants their laundry aired - they will write their own book. It is not our business!!
Six of one, a half dozen of the other.

Unauthorized biographies are probably as accurate and reliable as authorized biographies. The lies are just different.
unauthorized = b/s
written by Candy Martin, April 13, 2010
I don't trust these so-called "authors" who write a bunch, swear that it's true, even though the person they are writing about didn't even agree to have it written! Personally, I think they are just writing whatever to make some money and I would like to know how and where she got her research and who she interviewed to get her information. The fact that she can't get any tv interviews means she has little or no credibility. I'm not a fan of Oprah, especially since she wouldn't have Sarah Palin on her show but she'll have the other candidates on (except McCain also). I'm sure if either McCain or Palin had been black liberals, they would have been booked for her show.

Kitty Kelley is WELL KNOWN & FAMOUS for her MANY unauthorized biographies; both George Bushs, the Royal Family, Jackie O, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, to name but a few.

Yes, I will be interested in reading the book, but I do not often buy new books. I wait until they hit the secondary market where I can buy them for very little money as a "used book". I'll wait and enjoy reading it when it comes around.

You are more likely to get the truth from someone other than Opraha. Think about it people ,arent you more likely to stretch the truth if you are asked directly!!!!! oh, we all no the answer to that one.
Leave people alone!!!!!

If we would get a life, then celebrity's lives would not be so interesting to us. In fact, they go through the same drama and have the same issues we have. Why is that such a big deal? I don't want to hear about anybody issues. Im sick of it. The negative, the negative, the negative - Negative is around us everyday. I remember when tv, hollywood and entertainment was a place to escape. Now all we are getting is the same junk we see right outside our door. There are gay people hiding the sexuality right next door.I already now plenty of women who had babies at 15 (or earlier) and they families tried to kept it a secret and Lord knows the crimes against our kids-molestation-is growing everyday!!!! so who wants to know that, who wants to hear, read, see or listen to more of that.
Get a life and leaves others alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people just need a life they dont have so they get involved and spend a whole lot of time for nothing digging into someone else's, but this works for some people that like gossip. these will be the ones to buy the book because they dont have a life and they thive off of gossip. people writing these kind of books should get suied if something is published that is not true. this also tells you what kind of people we have for publishers. they are not different. I dont like gossip and lies. No I dont plan to read the book or encourage anyone else to do so.

I don't think that an unauthorized biography should be permitted. You have no way of
knowing whether it is fact or not, and often causes more problems for the person.
I wouldn't go out of my way to find the book and read it, but, then, I don't read a lot
of biographies anyway.

I know people who have adopted Russian children and have horror stories to tell. These children are not normal. These people probably did the only thing they could do. These children are adopted before they leave Russia. These people should not be prosecuted in any way. The children have been in orphanages almost all their lives They should not be adouptable.
Oprah, Really?
written by Gail C, April 20, 2010
Does this lady have nothing better to do than to dig up dirt on Oprah? Oprah has shared just about everything in her life with her audience. I have not had the pleasure of being there to see her live (would love to go to her favorite things show) But, she seems genuine, real. She cares for people, has the Angel Network which has changed millions of lives. She has built schools and fed and clothed those that did not have. She could hoard all her money away and leave it to her dogs in her will, but she is truly making a difference in so many lives. I hope no one buys this book!

I do believe strongly in Freedom of Speech. If people don't want to read an unauthorized biography, don't buy the book. This would be the fastest and best way to stop this type of writing.

Why don't Ms Kelly write a biography about her own life. People like that generally do not know what they are talking about and should keep their speculations to themselves. I would not buy the book!!!
Interesting Take on the "Truth"
written by THINKING MAN, May 27, 2010
If Kelly had written a book about Sarah Palin or Condi Rice, she'd be the darling of the left-wing media, including some here. But because Oprah is a left-wing, anti-family ideologue, she is being protected by her own. All of the sudden, they scoff at the biggest story of the year, regarding the QUEEN of talk!

It's called hypocrisy!
