Hey remember that time Oprah committed a blood libel


The only way I found this by the way was being incredibly specific. Oprah's SEO is impregnable with just page after 0age about innocuous poo poo.

The whole notion of multiple personality disorder being used to describe identities unaware of each other brought on by "repressed trauma" itself got heavily pushed by Oprah as part of her Satanic panic buy-in.

Yeah how did Oprah go from "trash daytime TV talk show" barely a step above Jerry Springer and Sally Jessie Raphael to "The best and most important interviewer in the world"

Still blows my mind that Kevin Hart made some of the most homophobic comments in recent memory, and then doubled down on them, but everyone forgot about it because he went on Ellen. He didn’t even apologize on the show, he just showed up for an episode and everyone forgot.

Not only that, people once legit wanted Oprah to run for President. Like, as a serious candidate, not as a joke.

In all fairness, he was stupid enough to use the word again completely unprompted during a press junket by blurting out "And I never called TR Knight a f*****!"

Ah yes, another tragic victim of Neeson Syndrome.

Also, according to Wikipedia, Isaiah Washington has since gone full #WalkAway Qultist, so chances are he was an rear end in a top hat even back then.

Donahue retired and Oprah sidled right into his niche of respectability and grew from there.

Then again, he's already a cult leader, so President would be a step down.

For the sake of humor I need to clarify his weight gain for Chapter 27: he ate microwaved pints of ice cream mixed with soy sauce and olive oil, and gave himself gout.

Given that soy sauce has negligible calories, I have to wonder is he:
-dumb
-performatively masochistic
-lying for some reason

I assume it's all 3

I’m guessing the salt and umami of the soy sauce balanced out the fat of adding olive oil to ice cream, which is already high in fat.

The funny thing about Jared Leto is that he puts a lot of effort into roles for absolutely poo poo movies. He saw Day-Lewis doing it and completely missed the point of choosing your roles carefully.

To jump back to a topic from a few pages back. I was looking at Apatow's Wikipedia page and noticed he has a Netflix movie called The Bubble that is filming. Guess what it's about?!

And an article about it came out today

quote:

The film follows a group of actors and actresses stuck inside a pandemic bubble at a hotel attempting to complete a film. The pic couldn’t be more timely as more and more productions are ramping back up even as Covid-19 remains in full effect around the world.

She was part of an effort to rehabilitate GWBs public image, if I remember right.

The poster also might be talking about the whole "Everyone in LA has known for years that working on the Ellen show is the absolute shittiest working environment in TV" thing, where it came out that, amongst other blatantly psycho/abusive things, employees were not allowed to make eye contact with Ellen.
