Oprah 'I Am Not In Love With Myself' Winfrey Filibusters the Press

2009_11_06_oprah.jpg Since we last heard from the Goddess of Television herself, Oprah Winfrey was itching to get back into being in movies and had told Barbara Walters that she definitely wasn't a lesbian.

Now what?

Oprah held a special question and answer session for reporters about her new television network, OWN. Although Q&A sessions are usually pretty straightforward, those reporters in the room with Oprah were in for a special treat. When Oprah was asked a simple question about what her childhood dreams and hopes were by a member of the press, she managed to answer the question but then kept on talking about her life for 18 minutes and 15 seconds. Within those 18 minutes and 15 seconds, Oprah managed to talk about her childhood and her grandmother, Michael Jackson, and of course, her television show and her television ratings.

After Oprah was done talking about how determined she is, the audience applauded and responded with much fervor, perhaps confused from what had just happened in the course of under twenty minutes. Regardless, Oprah has clearly shown that she is not in love with herself. Not even a tiny bit.
