Oprah and her show have been in the news for odd reasons lately. First of all, a big deal is being made about Oprah's interview with supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband, Grammy-award winner, Seal. It seems that Miss Heidi was oh so honest when admitting that one of the first things she noticed about Seal was his rather ample package. He was wearing biker shorts at the time, give the woman a break.
Hardly a mumbling word would be uttered if Klum was black but since she's white some folks are giving her a hard time about it. I do admire the fact that Klum has no regrets about making the statement. Hey, let me be honest, I probably would have noticed too. The truth is the light.
Anyhoo, the couple has been married for two and a half years and by all appearances are very happy. It takes more than Seal's package to keep that marriage intact so rather than rag on the couple, just wish them well and move on to something really important.
In more Oprah news, it seems that her much publicized all-girls school in Africa is the subject of a sexual and physical abuse scandal. Oprah tearfully apologized to the parents of the girls and gave the girls her contact information to reach her personally.
The father of one of the girls said they didn't blame Oprah.
I have the utmost respect for Oprah Winfrey, hard not to, but her show has declined grealy over the last five years; all good things come to an end. If Heidi likes her man's manhood, that's her business. Like you, I would have noticed it too! Hell, it looked pretty interesting in the last photo shoot that he took! Oprah and that academy are a blessing from God for those children; you can't control everything. Look at all of the ignorance going on in our schools. She'd have to pay to get that level of buffonery.

Oprah hopped on a plane more than twice to go and face these problems herself...if she wasn't so personally involved in these girls' lives, she would have placed a phone call and went on with her life...I admire her so much for all the things that she has done, is doing, and will continue to do...

Oh, and the Heidi and Seal thing? Shoot, if she didn't notice, she'd be blind in one eye and couldn't see out the other...isn't physical attraction one of the first things that hook you about a man/woman? I'm sure when he first saw her he was like, "Damn, she is fine!" They are such a beautiful couple and really seem to love one another...people just have to complain about something, don't they?

True on all points, Marvalus.

That us ladies notice size: this is news, lol?! Re Oprah: constantly reinventing yourself under the scrutiny of the world is not where I'd want to be. We all drop off the path at times...just give her time to regain her balance. She lives under a microscope...of course, very well paid for that!
