We told you Oprah Winfrey wouldn't disappear.Oprah rocked the nation last week when she announced that she'll pull the plug on The Oprah Winfrey Show in September 2011. We had a hunch Ms. Winfrey had some things in the works, and it's confirmed. In addition to the official plans for the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) to launch in 2011, a report emerged on Monday that Oprah and HBO are teaming up.
This may be a TV marriage stranger than Khloe Kardashian's, but it sounds like it could work. Oprah's studio Harpo and HBO are planning a pilot for an hour-long series on a woman who one day up and leaves her husband and children to pursue her dreams. The plot seems a little Desperate Housewives and left-field -- her family thinks she's been kidnapped? -- but with Harpo and HBO at the helm we can be pretty sure it'll fly.
Here's what president of HBO Sue Naegle had to offer: "[The show] is unsentimental and pretty shocking, and there is something complicated and destructive driving her ... It is literally a day at the pool, where she gets up, in sarong and flip-flops, and walks out of her life, leaving everyone behind so abruptly that her husband and kids initially think she's been kidnapped or murdered."
