Actually, she hardly does. She has people for that.

One of my good friends works closely with her on a daily basis @ HARPO. Oh the stories I have heard...

All in all though, she does have a happy workforce. Three or four years ago was a week in Hawaii, all expenses paid...this year it was two weeks in Europe/Med, all expenses paid...each staff member and their spouse or another guest.

Not me! Who?! A Republican Senator? Bill Gates? Obama? Dr. Phil? Rikki Lake? John Waters? Someone in adult? Oprah herself? Dick Cheney? Heili Fleiss? Charlie Sheen?

"The complaints against the suppliers allege that these companies engage in a very similar scam to market and sell acai berry supplements. According to the complaints, the companies offer consumers a “free trial” to entice them to sign up by providing a credit card number for shipping and handling charges. The companies use the “free trial” period to hook the consumers into a continuity sales program, where consumers are often unaware that they have agreed to buy a monthly supply of acai berry supplements (or other health supplement products) for $29 to $89 per month unless they cancel their orders within 14 days. Many consumers do not even receive shipment of the trial supplements before they are billed for the first monthly installment shipment. As part of this scam, consumers then find it very difficult to cancel future orders. The companies often bill consumers’ credit cards for a few months supply before the consumers are able to cancel the orders or cancel their credit card payments."

I wouldn't trust this shit..

Whe Oprah dies one day, it will dwarf the MJ hysteria

mynameisjim · 08-28-2009, 02:02 AM

Oprah only endorses the finest products. Like all those books and authors who end up getting discredited a few months after they appear on her show.

Or that quack Dr. Phil.

I can't wait to tell this to some of my annoying friends that keep pushing their Monavie bullshit on me.

So sick of hearing about how they are all going to go "black diamond" and get their free Mercedes, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Isn't Rachel Ray also being used for fake a lot endorsements too?
