So, yeah, I DVR Oprah every day even though I don’t usually have time to watch it. But generally I at least click that “info” button to check out the topic of the day. For quite some time the description was always “Oprah discusses topics before a studio audience,” but then the cable company got its act together. So I at least read the topic of the day for every episode and I have noticed that Dr. Mehmet Oz has been quite the frequent guest of late. He appears on the show generally to talk about health issues and to answer questions about everything from sex to food to poop. All the important topics! (Dr. Oz is also the author of the popular book You: On a Diet which I have been meaning to pick up.)

But rumors abound that Oprah isn’t just interested in providing the world with answers to common health questions such as “What shape should my poop be?” (Answer: S-shaped) and “I think I broke my penis.” According to the most trusted news source in the world, the internets, Oprah and Dr. Oz are totally doin’ it.

MediaTakeOut.com reports this:

October 10, 2007. Hold on to your horses y’all, this one’s good. One of MediaTakeOut.com’s faithful readers sent in what has to be the juiciest piece of gossip that we’ve seen in weeks. According to the reader, Oprah and Dr. Oz, and frequent guest on her show, have an extremely close relationship.

Here are our reader’s exact words:

I just got word of a blooming clandestine romance between Oprah “Lady O” Winfrey and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Yes, yes, I know, it’s hard for me to believe it too, but all of HARPO studios is abuzz about this. One of my associates from college, who is employed by Oprah herself informed me of the situation. Apparently, one of Oprah’s dog trainers walked in on the two of them locked in a passionate kiss right before a show!!! Now the dog trainer is fired, apparently for not knocking before entering O’s private chambers. But honey, he let everybody know what was up before he left!!

Now, I am not saying this is true, because I don’t want to piss off the most powerful woman in media. But it kind of makes sense. Because Oprah gave Dr. Oz a show on her XM radio channel. And recently she even “gave up” her show for one episode (although she monitored closely from the back) so that Dr. Oz could have a “men only” discussion about health issues. Awfully generous for someone who seems value tight control over her show. Huh.

Who do YOU think is going to be more pissed off about this one? Gail or Stedman? Maybe Gail is pissed, because not only is her girlfriend hittin’ it two rich and successful men while she is still single and has only built a career on being “Oprah’s best friend.” And having seen a few of Stedman’s very uncomfortable appearances on the show, I think he is just relieved to be out of the spotlight. And relieved that now Oprah has some other man’s balls in a jar on her desk.

Now I wonder what’s going on with Oprah and Dr. Robin?
