Oprah Winfrey

Oprah's sexuality has recently been called into question because of her close friendship with Gayle King. King is a former televison anchor and now is editor-at-large for Oprah's magazine, O. In September, King will co-host an XM radio show entitled "Oprah and Friends," in which highlights from Gayle and Oprah's daily hour lonf telephone conversations will be highlighted and played for the listeners.

More recent rumors of Oprah working behind the scenes to cement King a job to replace Star Jones on The View, has forced Oprah and King to publically come forward on numerous occassions to deny they are gay.

Reportedly, Oprah has been making large payments to long time boyfreind (beard), Stedman Graham, to keep him from forcing the outting in an upcoming tell-all book. It has been reported that Stedman was furious to learn of Oprah and King's recent purchase of a Mass. mansion for which the two divas have been spending weekends together decorating.
