Oprah Winfrey's Dad Says "There Is No Book" In Exclusive Interview
All the world was a buzz yesterday as word spread that Oprah's father, Vernon Winfrey was working on a book about his relationship with his famous daughter, talk-show mogul Oprah Winfrey. What was so surprising about this story was that Oprah was completely unaware a book was being written, which was said to have the working title of "Things Unspoken."
Now, there seems to be either a change of heart, or perhaps some intervening words on the part of Team Oprah. According to an exclusive interview with TV Guide Magazine, Vernon Winfrey is quoted on the matter:
"There is no book. We might think about it later on."
Asked whether he would be working with his famous daughter on a book, Vernon said:
"Well, I don't know. We have to decide."
And more to the point, had he spoken to Oprah about the book and did she talk him out of the idea?
"No," Vernon insists. "It's just on hold right now, OK?"
Oh, I am SO NOT buying that last one. There's two things I know about in life. Don't cross the mafia and don't cross Oprah. Doing either will get you the same result: cement shoes!!! Hey, I ain't trying to start any blasphemous rumors, I'm just saying is all. I bet Vernon slept with one eye open last night. It'll be several moons before that old man let's his guard down.
Oprah is scarier than al Qaeda.
