2. Hey idiots at TMZ, the 100 Osmonds gathered in Chicago for the Oprah show.

Below is the real story.

The Osmond family—who has been entertaining us for 50 years—is an amazing musical legacy started by one extraordinary couple. George and Olive Osmond had nine children, who then had 55 children, who then had 48 kids of their own!

Sadly, the patriarch of the Osmond family passed away on November 6, 2007. George Osmond Sr. was 90 years old.

More than 100 Osmonds had already been invited to appear on The Oprah Show, and the family decided that it was important for the show to go on. "Donny called us to say the family would be here and that this show would be in honor of their dad," Oprah says. "He also told us that they wanted this show to be a celebration of the life of his dad, so they're here today to take us on a once-in-a-lifetime trip down memory lane."

3. Very odd timing...the funeral in Utah and the appearance on Oprah with the whole clan. It really seemed like the Osmands were taking advantage of the situation to promote their reunion tour and Marie's stint on Dancing with the Stars. Get the money while it's hot , Mormon or not!!!

4. Rarely mentioned is the fact that they are Mormans. Why is Oprah concerned who wins 'dancing with the stars'? Oprah is getting so STAR concerned. With Mrs. Seinfelds 'stolen' cookbook, etc. I voted for Marie, but won't again. For heavens sakes, Marie and Donny used FATHERS funeral as publicity to help her win? DISGUSTING....

6. These sappy people are washed up has beens that are milking the hell out of Marie's dance contest. I think they are the most boring people in the world. I wish the dance thing would end so they would go away.

12. Can't stand Oprah but caught some of the show out of curiosity. Mormons have a funny way of grieving. But I guess 'Dad' would have wanted it that way. Grab all the $$$$$ you can get while you're in the limelight.!!
Looks like Marie's DWTS appearance was planned perfectly for the big comeback. Hmmmmmm. Btw, the fainting spell?? Next time, don't move your leg after you're out like a light on the floor. Who cares if they can see your panties when you're going for the sympathy vote.!!

13. What a wonderful show with the Osmonds on Oprah. I've watched Donny and Marie being a 'little bit country' and a 'little bit rock and roll'; and seeing the love they have for their father -- rest in peace Mr. Osmond - your children have made you very proud.

14. Right on Roz. Don't you just get tired of this phony baloney? And of how much of it is perpetuated by the Queen of Baloney herself, Oprah Winfrey? Money, money, money! Like they don't have enough already.

15. "Rarely mentioned is the fact they are Mormons"???

Have you been living under a rock? My goodness, I can hardly think of a group of entertainers whos faith background is mentioned more than the Osmonds.

CHRIS - You'd love our family. We have 11 children. Oh poor mother earth!
