May 21, 2006 -- OPRAH Winfrey has inked a deal to publish a fitness book with her personal trainer Bob Greene in what industry insiders say is the richest nonfiction book deal in history, sources told On The Money.
While sources declined to give an exact price, these people said it is larger than the $12 million advance former President Bill Clinton got to write his autobiography, "My Life," which was published by Knopf in 2004.
Oprah's book will be published by Simon & Schuster in January, and the gathering of publishing types at the annual Book Expo America in Washington, D.C., this weekend was abuzz with speculation about "an embargoed book coming out in January," according to a source.

It probably should be fiction since Oprah has never kept off any weight loss. Just another money making opportunity for "Queen" Oprah (I can't stand her). I'm not getting enough attention so look at me is Oprah's way of life. I don't need any "advice" from her. I learned everything I need in life from my family and friends.

Eat less and healthier. Exercise more. Drink in moderation (for those that can). Don't smoke. And love those that love you.
There. I saved everyone a few bucks.
Geez what a joke this is.

It simply can't be that Oprah's progressive audience consists of the fat girl contingent of American politics.
No way.

Imagine what kind of shape these women are in, that acquiring Oprah's shape is an improvement for them.

That may be from when she had Lady Pantsuit (Hillary) on the show with her.

She's had a lot of work done on her face, so yes, she has a very pretty face (now).
But, even though she really cannot do anything about it, she is a wide load around the center.
We're all born with certain body types, she was not really blessed in that manner.

Oh, lord. Don't get me started on the fat girl contingent clawing their way to freedom via the HSN/Susanne Summers show.
Someone described one of their "shows" in Las Vegas as consisting of thousands of fat women, smoking cigarettes, rolling around in electric wheelchairs.
The whole thing is freakish...
