Tab: Oprah Has 3 Years to Live

Plus, Samantha Ronson too girl-crazy for strippers, more

Share

(Newser) – Oprah’s ongoing weight drama has reached a new level: Medical experts tell the National Enquirer that unless she has her thyroid removed to control her weight, she only has 3 years to live. “She can't face another round of strict dieting and rigorous exercise, and she fears surgery is the only way out,” a family source says. Elsewhere:

  • Apparently Lindsay Lohan ex Samantha Ronson has trouble controlling herself around nude women. At a recent strip-club opening, strippers “were told she’s so girl-crazy, she can’t concentrate if we strip” and asked to wait until she completed her set, a source tells the New York Post.
  • Naomi Campbell may trade the catwalk for motherhood, the Mirror reports. “In terms of fashion shows I don’t really see myself doing every show everywhere,” the 25-year veteran told Hello!, adding, “I’d like to be a mother one day.”
  • John Travolta will be called to testify in the extortion case revolving around the January death of his son Jett, E! reports. The case is set to begin Sept. 21.

I see this article is in the Gossip section, but if this is true, it's sad for two reasons: 1.) the obvious-three years to live, 2.) that it has been spilled out to the public instead of allowing the matter to be dealt with privately. God bless her. Reply

Maybe Oprah should just be herself , she's too worried about her weight. Your thyroid is nothing to play around with. Wish her the best. Reply
