Oprah's daddy is about to make some gouda! In the age of "tell all" books I say Vernon Winfrey is just cashing on the hippest thing next to rehab! According to the New York Daliy News... "The talk queen tells us she’s “shocked” and “disappointed” that she had to hear it from the Daily News that her 74-year-old pop, Vernon, is writing a book about her.
Winfrey said she laughed recently when “one of my assistants said, ‘The Daily News is calling. They say they heard your father is writing a book about you.’ I said, ‘That’s impossible. I can assure them it’s not true.’
“But then my sister said, ‘I think you should call your father.’ I called him and it turned out he is writing a book. The worst part of it was him saying, ‘I meant to tell you I’ve been working on it.’ ”
Winfrey, 53, confided, “I was upset. I won’t say ‘devastated,’ but I was stunned.”
“The last person in the world to be doing a book about me is Vernon Winfrey,” she added. “The last person.”
