Oprah: Pregnant Man, Puppy Mills...

Seek and ye shall receive, billboard peeps? Oprah is indeed doing a puppy mill exposé episode on Friday. She's dispatched The View survivor Lisa Ling to investigate animal abuse in puppy mills, though the episode is officially tied to the death of Oprah's dog and not to the billboard that's been up for months asking her to address the issue. We're still waiting to hear back from spokesfolk at Harpo about any connection to the sign.

Update A rep for Harpo says yes, the billboard is part of the show. Bill Smith from Mainline Animal Rescue, the organization that put up the sign, will be on the show.

It's a busy week for Oprah, whose show tomorrow features an exclusive TV engagement with Thomas Beatie, who recently wrote a story in The Advocate about being a pregnant man. [AP, Oprah]
