Unauthorised Oprah biography coming soon

An Oprah tell-all is coming in April, but Winfrey isn't the teller.....

Crown Publishers announced Thursday that Kitty Kelley's 544-page, unauthorised "Oprah: A Biography" will be released April 13. The first printing will be at least 500,000 copies.

Kelley is known for gossipy, unflattering, but best-selling celebrity books. She has also written about Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan and the Bush family.

Kelley says she has high regard for Winfrey, but also felt committed to writing the truth. Kelley says she devoted the past three years to examining Winfrey's life. She says she came away "full of admiration for her accomplishments and fascinated by her
complexity."

Crown says Kelley conducted 850 interviews for the book.

I agree with maggie, why is it so important to always look for flaws. We all have skeletons in the closet. Is Kelley prepared to write her own 'tell it all'?

I've never understood how anyone can do a tell all book about someones life without the persons involvement!? it just doesnt make sense to me! How would a complete stranger have full insight into a persons private life??Really!
