"O," Say Can You See...That You Have Dissed Me?

Discussions about whether Oprah felt dissed by Tom Cruise's pointed failure to invite the daytime doyenne of domesticity to Italy be damned: We have proof of passive aggressive retaliation!
Cover of O Magazine -- November Issue
Well, OK. Maybe not. But at the least, an amusing case of coincidence.

Today, you see, "O" -- the Oprah magazine -- landed with a resounding thud on our neighbor's doorstep. So startled were we, that we hastened to examine the impact crater of this sizable periodical. When we saw the cover, a smile crossed our weary, media-creased face.

Smack in the middle of the December "O," a coverline blares, "We've got answers to life's stickiest situations! What to do if someone..."

  • Flirts with your husband
  • Never pays you back
  • Wants you to lie for them
  • Takes credit for your idea
  • Gives you a hideous gift
  • Has the kid from hell
And then, finally, there it was, in all its bitchy glory:
  • Hears you didn't invite them...
According to Oprah's forest-felling mag, the correct response (on page 298, natch!) when someone learns they weren't invited to a party is to say, " 'I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I invited a different group of friends.' The end. Long explanations are the worst."

Indeed.

5. I think Tom was pissed because in a couple interviews(Sawyer,Letterman)Oprah kind of mocked his couch jumping episode! I'm sure Oprah is not sitting around depressed that she didn't get an invite!!

6. Oprah needs to look in a mirror...her hair looks horrible. I'm glad the conceited SOB didn't get invited...good.

Oprah needs to retire already.

7. All the celebrity Scientologists have gone after Oprah.... John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Kirstie Allie, and most recently, Lisa Marie Presley. I guess they've all labeled her their quarry.

Good for Ms. O who has resisted them........ so far.

Clearly, Lisa Remini has labeled Jennifer Lopez as her quarry. Tom went after Katie Holmes and, obviously, got her.

Read the info about Scientologists. (They're almost as much of a cult as the Mormons!)

Here is info about recruiting celebrities by Scientologists:

10. could Oprah's mouth be any bigger.
She could suck down a 10 lb pork roast in one fell swoop.
No wonder Tom didn't invite her to the wedding.

11. Oprah thinks she's cute and sexy. She is so not either. Can you say PHOTOSHOPPED. Whatever.

12. tony, I agree with ya man. I remember her big old crooked rotting teeth back in the 80's to go with her 400 lb body;;everything is sagging on that body....and to Daniel, this photo is shopped cause in real life, her arms are huge and flabby, her waist is much bigger and oh, her thunder thighs, nuff said. Besides that...she thinks she is God.

14. If that's her body I'll eat my sweat socks. The girl is a chub with thunder thighs. She's also the height of conceit putting her nasty self on every cover of O. O, yes, I have never bought a copy and never will. Remember, O=Zero.
