Oprah, 30 Pounds of Pasta, and Thou.

It's either an example of a very hungry (and depressed) celebrity, or an example of people assuming that Oprah Winfrey has never, ever exaggerated about anything to make a point, ever. We hope it's the latter, because is there any way at all that someone could ingest thirty pounds of macaroni and cheese?

Us Magazine is reporting that in an upcoming interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, Oprah cops to chowing down on 30 whole pounds of Art Smith's macaroni and cheese after her film "Beloved" proverbially ate it at the box office. Maybe if you think about it really hard, and visualize yourself eating all that pasta, you can accomplish it in real life?

We can think of things to do with thirty pounds of gooey pasta that would cheer us up, and it doesn't involve eating it. Macaroni fights are good for the soul. Let's all hope, for the sake of pasta aisles and personal chefs everywhere, that OWN takes its sweet time imploding.
