Uh oh. Sir, if I were you, I wouldn't be messing with the O. It turns out that Oprah has recently found out that her 74-year-old father is in the midst of working on a book about his experiences raising her--and adding insult to injury, she found out from "The Daily News."

Winfrey said she laughed recently when "one of my assistants said, 'The Daily News is calling. They say they heard your father is writing a book about you.' I said, 'That's impossible. I can assure them it's not true.'

"But then my sister said, 'I think you should call your father.' I called him and it turned out he is writing a book. The worst part of it was him saying, 'I meant to tell you I've been working on it.' "

Winfrey, 53, confided, "I was upset. I won't say 'devastated,' but I was stunned."

Yeah, that's the kind of misbehaving that will permanently get your ass removed from the Christmas list. The book is tentatively titled, "Thing Unspoken" and Vernon has apparently spoken out that he wishes he would have been a more strict father when dealing with his daughter, as she was "out of hand and an unruly child." Over the weekend, Oprah indicated that she was on speaking terms with her father and that their relationship was "good," but damn. That's a major kick in the teeth. If I suddenly found out that my mother was writing some book about me, the bratty little child in me would say, "Fine. Then I'm writing a book about YOU. And there's a whole chapter devoted to the rainbow-colored harness you used to keep me strapped to my sisters' stroller whenever we were in the mall." Yeah, cause that's pretty much all I got.
