The Power of O

Kitty Kelly is having a heckava time finding talk shows willing to let her promote her new unauthorized biography of Oprah Winfrey.
They say Barbara Walters, Larry King and David Letterman all said no flat out because they don't want to offend Oprah. ABC is said to be boycotting the book, too.

Kitty Kelley conducted interviews with over 850 disgruntled former Harpo employees, cut off family members, friends of friends and various others to get the goods for her manuscript.

The latest excerpt to leak from the book says Oprah had an affair with John Tesh in the 70's when they both worked at a Nashville news station and that he left her by sneaking out in the middle of the night.

One of Tesh's exs told Kelley,
"He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her black body and couldn't take it anymore. He walked out in the middle of the night....He told me later he felt very guilty about it."
