An unauthorized biography of Oprah Winfrey by Kitty Kelley, writer of controversial books on Elizabeth Taylor and Nancy Reagan, was published Tuesday. Here are some of the book’s revelations:
“Harpo” actually just an anagram of her name, Proha
Owns variety of fat suits that she’ll toss on when tabloid attention starts to wane
Keeps all of her Emmys swaddled in a pink satin-lined crib up in the attic
Sends successful authors in her book club a black rose every year to remind them that she can destroy them as easily as she created them
Allows partner Stedman Graham exactly five minutes and 45 seconds of intercourse every six weeks
Requires a new inspirational poem from Maya Angelou twice a day
Her California estate has 24 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, and two McDonald’s restaurants
Wasn’t actually the first person to come up with the idea of asking another person questions
