There have been a slew of dead celebrities lately. And she hasn't had anything to say. Why now?
ah .. hadn't thought of that.
Perhaps she's planning a memorial show to Jackson, Karl Malden, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, and Ed McMahon en masse.
My point is that she reveres Sydney Poitier and Maya Angelou (who's curiously been out of most of Oprah's show text over the last few years) almost to a disproportionate reverence. I think both are tremendous individuals who've contributed greatly too.
But certainly Jackson's demise has not escaped her notice.
Her deafening silence says a great deal more (even if she does believe those pedophile charges against him) about
her than they do Jackson. Don't forget she used him for all he was worth during her 1990s interview him at his Neverland Ranch.
Oprah reminds me of the late Princess of Wales in this way.
I think both blow hot and cold with people.
While Oprah will coo and bill over a Maria Shriver (because of her quasi-faux connection to this phenomenon known as the Kennedys as "American Royalty") she has - as she did with President Obama - a tremendous forum to bring this thing into perspective. Her talk show and her influence is unquestionably vast.
Again I say 'Where's Oprah in all this'?

I guess you'll have to contact Oprah to answer your question. The Jackson family has been sent an overwhelming amount of condolences, with hers quite likely being among them, and the media is already saturated with such comments from celebrities. Presently the media's preoccupation is with speculation about Michael Jackson's death and the findings of California investigators in this regard and not finding a message of condolence from Oprah.
You're missing my point dreamer.
Oprah has something to say about EVERYTHING.
There's not a question in my mind that her silence is intentional.
I'm not talking about "the media". I'm talking about Oprah.
