Oprah Winfrey was left gobsmacked when told by her assistant that her father Vernon Winfrey is writing a book about her. She is said to be especially upset because the news was confirmed via a gossip column. You can bet this one won't be promoted by Oprah's book club.
Oprah says she laughed when one of her assistants told her that the Daily News had called about the book her dad was writing. The talk show diva said it was impossible and that she can assure them it was not true, but then Oprah's sister said, "I think you should call your father."
When she did, he told her, "Oh! I meant to tell you I've been working on it!"
Oprah says he's the last person in the world she expected to be doing a book about her and revealing family secrets of her younger days.
