Oprah Winfrey Angry with Aretha Franklin?


They say Oprah Winfrey is extra heated because Aretha Franklin chose to give her first post surgery interview to Wendy Williams instead of her...

From The National Enquirer
OPRAH WINFREY became "rip-roaring furious" that ARETHA FRANKLIN showed her NO respect by granting one of her fierce TV rivals a major interview over the desperate battle she's waging with cancer, The ENQUIRER has learned.

Instead of choosing the undisputed Queen of Talk to describe her emergency surgery and courageous struggle, the Queen of Soul gave the first interview to WENDY WILLIAMS.

"Oprah is about as angry as can be," said an insider.

"This is the final season of her show, and she's been pushing to land all the big 'gets' out there. Oprah is embarrassed that Aretha - a legend - chose Wendy, who is a relative newcomer in the TV talk show world."

While Oprah, 57, gives Wendy, 46, credit for snagging the much-coveted sit-down with Aretha, she's still "steaming," adds the insider, telling pals that Wendy's show is "a long way" from hers, and criticizing it for being "silly and gossipy."

Aretha underwent surgery in December but has never publicly revealed the nature of her health issues. However, The ENQUIRER has exclusively reported that she is fighting pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly forms of the disease.

Following her operation, the 68-year-old "Respect" singer made her spotlight appearance in a videotaped message that was broadcast during the Grammy Awards.

Aretha shocked fans by looking like she had lost about 80 pounds from her once 300-pound frame. Because of the intense curiosity about Aretha's condition, scoring an interview with Aretha was a major coup for Wendy.

Yet Oprah insisted she would've been able to outdo Wendy by using her clout to pack her show with legendary heavy hitters paying homage to the musical icon.

"Oprah was not going to keep the whole interview on the illness, which she knows Aretha is reluctant to fully discuss," said the source.

"She was going to get Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records, for a touching tribute. But instead, Aretha chose Wendy - and Oprah is NOT happy!"

If anybody watched the Wendy interview, Aretha mentioned a few times that she has a fear of flying and will be flying from Detroit to Chicago (a three hour drive) for the first time in years. Wendy was kind enough to fly to Detroit to do the interview, y'all really think Oprah would've done the same? HELL NAW. Oprah needs to sit all the way down and let Wendy have her shine, Lord knows Wendy is barely staying on the air and doesn't get good interviews like she did when she was on the radio.

Oh please Oprah cry a fucking river in between Gayle's legs.

This is foolish. THe Queen of Soul doesn't OWE YOU SHIT! Best believe once Oprah high tail her ass out of here with that mess.

Wendy Williams will take the crown slot in TV show. Oprah you got OWN ( New World Order)network so why cry afuckign river for? Besides doesn't she worship....TINA TURNER?

From what I heard OWN will flop because no one wants to tune in 24-7 listening to psycho new age babble. People are tried of her wanting to rail road people and exploiting her own black people.

Wendy did a great job and I kind of like the fact that Aretha did that. It showed she was willing to open up to Wendy of all people.

The real reason why Aretha hasn't given a clear yes or no on the gastric bypass surgery is 'cause she loves having her name out there in the press again. Let's face it, we haven't talked this much about Ree Ree in a minute and I know she's loving the attention again. Keeping folks guessing about your health is helping create a buzz.

ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION!!!!!

Oprah took over the Discovery Health Channel, The show targeted an audience of 18-25 yr olds and they got an average of 700,000 viewers per night respectively and now that OWN has taken over the network (she actually doesnt own the network, she shares ownership 50/50 with Discovery Inc.) the ratings for 18-25 yr olds is only 80,000 viewers per night, lol.... i dont see her OWN network surviving for long...

The stupidity of people is just staggering. Oprah doesn't give a rat's ass about Aretha or Wendy ... Nobody but a hack like Wendy Williams is willing to put up with that has-been, drama queen. Nobody wants to work with Aretha!!! She's a renowned rude royal country ass bitch.

Anonymous said...

^^ Yes Oprah does,

Aretha is still NEWS no matter how "renowned rude royal country ass bitch" she is, having Aretha would have been great for fat ass Oprah.

Sit down. Wendy is fun! Oprah only cares about ratings.

@ 5:25 Aretha has been on Oprah several times.

Aretha knows that she would have to fess up that she had gastric bypass surgery on Oprah. Oprah is obsessed with how people have lost weight. (i.e. her interview with J-Hud). Wendy being the horribly vague interviewer that she is didn't press her on the subject. Oprah's azz would have, fo sho!

Anonymous said...

Wendy Williams is a joke. Aretha clowned her a few times, Wendy asked Aretha if she is a stupid girl when it comes to love and Aretha answered, do you think I'm gullible & that dumb B Wendy said yes & Aretha said no that is you. Wendy's big Kev is on video boning a dirty-sock B for the world to see & she keeps pumpin' her man & advising women to be strong & leave cheaters. Wendy, you are a loser! Dumb ass B

Tha Gimp said...

Old man sitting on his front porch in Louisiana watching the sunrise
sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big under his arm.
He yells out, "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
The boy yells back, "Roll of chicken wire."
The old man says, "What you gonna do with that?"
The boy says, "Catch some chickens."
The old man yells, "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with
chicken wire!"
The boy just laughs and keeps walking.
That evening at sunset the boy comes walking by and to the old man's
surprise, he is dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30
chickens caught in it.
At the same time the next morning, the old man is out watching the
sunrise and he sees the boy walk by carrying something kind of round
in his hand.
The old man yells out, "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
The boy yells back, "Roll of duck tape."
The old man says, "What you gonna do with that?"
The boy says back, "Catch me some ducks."
The old man yells back, "You damn fool, you can't catch ducks with
duck tape!"
The boy just laughs and keeps walking.
That night, around sunset, the boy walks by coming home and to the old
man's amazement, he is trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duck
tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.
At the same time the next morning, the old man sees the boy walking by
carrying what looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end.
The old man says, "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
The boy says, "It's a pussy willow."
The old man says "Hold on, I'll get my hat

Aretha does not like fake people and she tends to support people who gravitate towards the black community. I'm sure Aretha has had plenty of time to watch Oprahs behind the scene show and noticed how someone with so much power and has a sprinkling of black employees and half them look fearful of their job while the white people talk to Oprah like O works for them. I'm sure Oprahs people did reach out to Aretha. One thing that Oprah doesn't realize is some people still have humility and maybe Retha doesn't need Hugh Jackman, Leno, or Julia Roberts or any of O's other white butt buddies kissing her ass.

Big O needs to stop it and maybe Rhirhi just wanted to give Wendy a chance.

Aretha knew what she was doing. Wendy showed love and mentioned her regularly on the show. She knew she could control Wendy but not Oprah. Oprah would have turned it into a 3-ring circus.

Good Job Wendy!!

i remember once that a poster tried to use clarence thomas as an example for so,ething or the other...that he was an outstanding example of a black man...(how i wish i rememeber what we were debating about...hopefully she/he remembers...) here is something to refute his magnificence....via gawker.com


— Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas likes to have sex with two women at the same time! He's also, according to his former lover Lillian McEwen, who has written a book about what it's like to have a three-way with someone who would eventually become a fundamentalist Supreme Court justice, basically a human fucksaw: "McEwen gushes over Thomas' prowess and 'fantasy [package],' describing his body as 'coffee-bean ... velvet-covered cement.'" Rock hard, baby.

McEwen explains why she wrote a book about her decades-old tryst with the "easily aroused...national treasure," whom she "shared with other women in ménages à trois and in a voyeuristic pleasure palace," in this interview with AFRO. But the takeaway is that Clarence banged two ladies at once.

Which is odd, considering he's a fire-breathing Catholic, which tend to be against sex generally and group sex in particular. Why, here's a Supreme Court dissent by his colleague brother Nino Scalia in which Thomas concurred arguing that gay sex should remain criminal because it's just like polygamy, which is awful:

The Court's opinion contains grim, disapproving hints that Coloradans have been guilty of "animus" or "animosity" toward homosexuality, as though that has been established as Unamerican. Of course it is our moral heritage that one should not hate any human being or class of human beings. But I had thought that one could consider certain conduct reprehensible — murder, for example, or polygamy, or cruelty to animals — and could exhibit even "animus" toward such conduct.

So for the record: Clarence Thomas thinks polygamy (and gay sex) are wrong but that three-ways are awesome. And no, he's not a hypocrite. He wasn't trying to marry two women at once; he just wanted to fuck them. Totally different.

I'm glad Clarence's ex is exposing his freaky ass for who and what he really is. I hope his drunk ass, looney tune tea party whore wife is so pissed about it that she kicks his ass and sends him to the bench with two black eyes. The world has much better examples of black men than that puppet.

Oprah's OWN ratings are down, because some people that watch her show on regular network TV do not subscribe to the cable channel and don't have access to it, or aren't willing to pay for it. They're just fine with watching her for free, until her show is no longer on ABC. The bottom line is this: Her fans love it when she comes out of her pockets, not when she comes after theirs. It's all about the money.
