While Kelley herself insisted to me she aims only to chronicle ''Oprah's amazing, fantastic journey to the top,'' a longtime New York publishing mogul -- who requested anonymity -- told me Thursday, ''There is no way Crown [Kelley's publisher] is looking for a sweet, adoring book about Oprah's rise from poverty and abuse to being the most powerful woman in the media. ... They want dirt and juicy stories, because that is what sells, and Kitty is the best person to do just that.''I still can't make myself watch her show (only if she has Sarah on) but she is a positive role model.
She's been kind of a sacred cow, beyond any real criticism, but apparently that is going to change.
