Oprah Didn't Know Who Anna Nicole Was

April 09, 2007

"I wasn't quite sure (who she was). I remember saying, 'What does she do?' and nobody could say actually what she did."

Oprah Winfrey didn't know who Anna Nicole Smith was before she died. That's because she didn't do much. Sad, but true.

i don't like either, so who cares. But... If I really have 2 chose, I pick Anna. Anna didn't do ne thing. but at least she was comfortable in her own skin, the one god gave her. OPRAH, stop pretending! You fake hiporit bitch! stop wishing were white, and stop trying 2 convince ppl ur proud of being black. we can tell ur NOT happy!

Ms. oprah winfrey is a inspiration to all americans and non. she shows all people that the "american dream" is attainable with hardwork. saddly anna nicole symbolizes the "american nightmare". the message is it is easier to be a victim.... (look what everybody did to me). i am inspired that people likems. winfrey show the worldthat the american dream is alive..

Oprah is a show pony. Her programmes usually only cater to the light how do I look sexy when I'm 50 or How can I do a makeover on my bedroom crap. She's not a journo. She gives money to people outside the US when she has shows telling you all how there are poor people who deserve a hand up in her own country. Sh'es an idiot with a I treat my dogs like children fetish.

Damn... What have you been doing or saying about Oprah? I'm agreeing with Vicki here. I also didn't know WHO THE HELL WAS...WHO??? All the way from South Africa, I can't bear the fact that some people think that Oprah is "STUPID". What's your personal ID? What exactly did Anna do right and to whom, except stealing millions from a "long dead 'ancient' grandfather"? Guys get a grip. Oprah is your Queen and brave to be. She even chased Tommy Hilfigure for racial comments on her live show. Go Queeny... We all, and I mean ALL, love you. Excluding nobody

GIVE ME A BREAK! To the people who are blasting Oprah for not knowing exactly who Anna Nicole was WAKE THE HELL UP and get a grip! Anna Nicole didn't do much and the only reason she gained the popularity she did was because she took advantage of an elderly millionare who had one foot above ground and the other stepping into the grave. Call that smart? I call it maliscious and insensitive. It shows me she had no respect for herself and would do anything for money. And to the idot that insulted Oprah by calling her stupid because she did not or has not taken the time to take up space in her smart brain with useless information about someone as confused as Anna Nicole,YOU ARE THE STUPID ONE! It was clear she was trailer trash who gained recognition because she posed for playboy.. and even after that she still wasn't popular. She became well known because she crossed the line with someone's great grandfather, grandfather and old father. Our society is jacked when we glorify women who sleep around and have multiple partners not two but several. Clearly this was a confused problem filled woman who couldn't handle reality so she doped up on prescription drugs to handle what is a cake walk for other women. She was weak minded. Finally, if Anna Nicole had not been what is considered a blonde bombshell, if she had been dark haired and had darker skin or if she were an African-American woman she would have been labled a tramp! you would be saying why are we spending our time on this and who cares that she is dead. Trust me on that one. All of you who trashed Oprah for not knowing who this woman was, shame on you. Anna Nicole was no star,no actress, she couldn't even land the role of Marilyn Monroe the woman she mimicked and idolized. . She gave nothing to the community. What has she done for anyone? For any cause? She was selfconsumed and I feel sorry for baby girl Danielynne. P.S. She was not beautiful, she had blonde hair, oversized boobs, and a flat butt that does not fall in the beautiful category to me. Futhermore, without pills she was as my dad used to say a biggun.

So she did not know who some insignificant media bimbo was. It greatly improved my opinion of Oprah.
