In the recent issue of "O Magazine," Oprah describes the betrayal she experienced when her half-sister sold the story of her teenage pregnancy and baby's stillbirth to the Enquirer. Patricia Lloyd apparently made $19,000 from the story, which understandably left Ms. Winfrey feeling hurt and upset.
Poor Oprah. As long as People Magazine and the Enquirer and the like have an audience for the juicy details of celebrity lives, relatives and friends and nannies and landscapers will have too much money to make selling stories and pictures to withstand the temptation to tell-all.
But take heart, Oprah. Your magazine is hot on the heels of People in circulation and sales. And no one can beat the AARP Magazine's circulation, no matter how many celebrity teen pregnancy stories they buy.
