Bruce Willis has jumped to the defense of controversial author James Frey, declaring he was unfairly attacked on Oprah Winfrey's TV show last month. Frey has been criticized for embellishing parts of his best-selling book, A Million Little Pieces, which was originally billed as a memoir. The Die Hard star says on TV show Access Hollywood, "Look at what happened to James Frey in the last two weeks. That's a great book and so is the follow-up book. And just because his publisher chose to say that these were memoirs, it took it out of being a great work of fiction... to this guy having to go be sucker punched on Oprah by one of the most powerful women in television, just to grind her own axe about it. Hey, Oprah. You had President (Bill Clinton) on your show and if this pr**k didn't lie about a couple of things, I'm going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, OK? He can write about whatever he wants. It's fiction. It's just shameful how he was treated in some of these things."

"...And then some..."
He also sticks it to the tabloid media, People, US Weekly, InStyle, etc. He says they print lies all the time and nothing ever happens to them. And he was brilliant in the way he stuck it to Oprah and Bill Clinton at the same time.
Damn I like this guy!
His movies put people in theater seats. Cha-ching!
Now we know why he and Demi didn't make it, they were as politically mismatched as Lance and Sheryl.
I love seeing Oprah getting the Cha-ching!
