Oh for fuck's sake, leave James Frey alone!...Oprah, you need to stop saying whatever it takes to make the most money.

Aaaaaalright.....I am getting sick of all this shit going on about James Frey's book " A Million Little Peices." I bought the book before all this contoversy started, and I enjoyed reading it a lot.. Oh wait...sorry....MY SISTER bought the book for me. I guess that makes a HUGE difference right? Oh I am such a LIAR. WHO GIVES A FUCK??!!! People read it and enjoyed the story!!! As I was reading it, some parts seemed a little fairy tailish and movie-like to me and I kind of knew it probably was altered for good story telling, but I didn't care. None of this is news to me that things have been changed. This guy is a first time author with not a lot of writing experience, and he told what would make an interesting story! He took a real life expereince and made it to what would make it more entertaining and gripping. This does not make him a bad person, it makes him know the industry pretty well. He isn't a polished off publisher and he's new to the game...so I guess the main problem was it was catagorized as a memoire when it may have been better off as something else. The fact is, he was a drug abuser and went through the rehab...there ya go...its based on true events if that is what is so important. For pete's sake look at what movie's do to so called "true stories" but nobody complains about that, because the movie is meant to entertain and we know that it has been "hollywoodized" if you will. If you liked the book...shut the hell up...it served its purpose as a fucking book. Jesus. And Oprah...I think its really fucking pathetic how you went on Larry King Live and told millions of people that you supported this guy, and now after that your stupid fans didn't back you up one hundred percent...you completely do a one eighty. You do and say whatever is going to agree with the public most to ensure you stay rich. Thats disgusting and you are a person with way to much fucking power in this world. You're right up there with Paris Hilton. I hope people start to see through your fake exterior real soon, I sure do. Oh man, I don't get how some people are famous..it's so sad. Anyways, James...I think you're an excellent writer and I'm hoping all this bullshit goes away for your sake. People are idiots and always want to bitch about something...I say ignore it and keep writing.
