James Frey: Returing to Oprah!
Author James Frey is returning to the scene of his public evisceration by Oprah Winfrey five years ago. The rematch will be one of O's final episodes.
Frey was simply CRUSHED by Oprah in 2006 when she found out he made up a ton of details in his hugely popular memoir, A Million Little Pieces.
According to reports, Frey will return to the show and will talk with Oprah about how his life was affected by the scandal over the past five years.
No word on when Frey's episode is scheduled to run.
Oprah taking Frey to task earned some of her biggest ratings in history, and clearly did not make the author look good. Will his return involve similar fireworks?

Let us not forget that Oprah's immediate reaction when she learned Smoking Gun uncovered the extent of Frey's embellishment was very mild and borderline indifferent. It wasn't until after the media generated several days of public rage, i.e., synthetic rage, that Oprah jumped on the bandwagon and started kicking the acclaimed author while he was down. Fact is if the media would have been unsuccessful at its attempts to trigger an avalanche of negative publicity surrounding Frey's book, Oprah would have continued to sit quietly on her fat ass and accept applause for "discovering" Frey's great work. Let's give credit where credit is due. If anyone should be persecuted for misrepresentation it should be Oprah.

I do Not know how this guy fooled Lady O the way that he did. I saw his mom on the show when Oprah announced his book. She was so oh proud of her son. I got a copy from the friendly neighborhood library. The book starts off telling that he is on a plane beaten up and doesn't know how he got there with missing teeth. Within a few pages of nothing but obscenity and vulgar words,and unbelievable circumstances, I realized I did Not care about this book because it was Unbelievable. Imagine my surprise a few weeks later,when Oprah was wiping the egg off her face because she had been duped by the lies of "a million little pieces". She hauled his a@ss back on her show to give him the (verbal) Bob Barker Neuter Treatment in front of her full audience. Either way enough was enough the first go round with this author and talk show maven who was fuming at being made a fool of after promoting his book of obscenity and few facts. He must be a desperate glutton for punishment for reappearing on tha
