Gayle King May Get The Oprah Show.... Yuck!!!

Oprah's contract is due to end in 2011 and at that time she wants to give her BFF of 30 years Gayle King, time to shine. Athough it hasn't been made official, there's been reports that Lady O is looking to hang-it-up after her contract ends. She's not sure if she wants to end the show altogether or hand it over to Gayle. Don't Oprah know we don't like Gayle. Oh help us, if boring Gayle gets the show. The end of an era....... all things must come to an end.
