You're forgiven if you are confused...
Which came first? The weight gain or the gurus?
We're fairly certain that Oprah first gained weight before she needed the assistance of fitness guy Bob Greene and health guy Dr. Mehmet Oz and we're just not sure about that spiritual guy Michael Bernard Beckwith. But don't worry... it doesn't matter. The three men have taken on a television life of their own.
First, there was news that Dr. Oz was getting his own show. Mehmet the Medical Doctor will follow in the footsteps of Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray and produce a daily television show under the Harpo banner.
Now it seems these three 'wise men' can command their own audiences and talk about their boss' health woes.
Greene, Oz and Beckwith all appeared on CNN's "Larry King" last night. In what we assume was a promotional appearance for Oprah's Best Life Week on her show, the gurus talked to Larry about ... Oprah, Oprah's weight gain, Oprah's diet, Oprah's work out routine, Oprah's mindset.
It all felt a little dirty, talking about the Queen of Everything when she wasn't there. After all, if this chick is going to be a Washingtonian, I feel like I've got to stand up for her. You can see a transcript of the "Larry King" talkfest here or see a clip of the show here.
