Scientologists believe you can cure most brain problems with vitamins (hence John Travolta's dead son).

Kirstie Alley and Oprah probably waddle their way to auditing together. Methinks you might be right. Kirstie Alley and Oprah probably waddle their way to auditing together.

Many of her books and stories are very much the junk that Scientology believes in. Also think about her favorite guests....Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Will Smith (all COS cult members).

Hmm - visibility as a criteria for influence? How does Angelina influence people? To suddenly go on an child adoption and personal baby-boom binge? To steal movie star husbands from movie star wives? To be too thin and get lots of tatoos? Jon and Kate and Nadya Suleman are stupidly visible this year, but are they influencing people to reproduce irresponsibly and get addicted to financially exploiting their children? Or to get hedge-hog hairdos? (Oops, well, maybe.) Oprah's influence can bring a business back to life from near bankruptcy or create a best seller. She can start a school in Africa or donate to countless non-profits. She can start a national discussion about virtually any issue. This woman has genuine influence, not just transient style. She has staying power. I guess to keep readers interested, you can't keep picking the same person every year, but Angelina?

Oprah’s influence can bring a business back to life from near bankruptcy or create a best seller. She can start a school in Africa or donate to countless non-profits. She can start a national discussion about virtually any issue. This woman has genuine influence, not just transient style. She has staying power.

Frankly, I doubt Oprah would give a damn about what you or any other tabloid journalist has to say about her, because Oprah has integrity. I'm pretty sure that integrity, intelligence and compassion outweighs skinniness in what constitutes a worthwhile person. She doesn't need to succumb to the pressures of a 20 year old actress wannabee (i.e. starvation). I just noticed the catty comments towards Oprah.

If Oprah had a gripe with Angelina, it would be Angelina who was shunned. I don't know how they come up with these figures, but Oprah remains queen .. I'm sure of it. This must be wrong.
