The good folks at that bastion of journalistic integrity, the National Enquirer, are claiming that Oprah Winfrey has only three years left to live.   And why shouldn’t they claim this?  They have it on good authority from “medical experts,” after all!  The problem is, of course, her weight.

…according to experts who have reviewed her medical history… [h]er weight has soared to 250 pounds – and medical experts say that unless the 55-year-old talk-show queen undergoes lifesaving surgery to remove her thyroid, she’ll eat her way into an early grave.

Without the surgery, it’s unlikely that Oprah will ever be able to control her weight, and she could suffer a fatal heart attack or stroke, those experts warn.

Apparently it’s gotten so serious that Oprah is considering the surgery, but it’s going to be a “secret.”

A “close family insider” said:

“She’s down on herself for all the weight she’s gained, and even though she prides herself on being open and honest with her viewers, she’s considered having thyroid surgery, but not telling anyone.

Oh come on!  Of course she’s going to tell her viewers – she’s Oprah!  I bet you she’ll even Tweet about it!  Assuming this is true, that is… consider the source, folks – consider the source.
