    Oprah Winfrey Apologizes to Author James Frey

    There’s baking soda and vinegar, gasoline and a match, acid and eyeballs and Oprah and James Frey. Or wait – should we scratch that last pair off the list? Has the notorious and telegenic feud between the two cooled? According to an article in Vanity Fair, which has been confirmed by Oprah’s folks, the talk-show host recently reached out to the best-selling author she annihilated on live TV a few years ago for fibbing in his memoir.

    “We invited him back on the show” last spring, says Oprah’s spokeswoman, Angela dePaul, but the reunion didn’t work out for reasons she declined to divulge. A few months later, the Chatelaine of Chicago herself picked up the phone and called Frey to apologize for the public whupping she handed him in 2006, when it was revealed that his 2003 addiction memoir, A Million Little Pieces, had some not-so-little lies in it, like the fact that he spent only a few hours in police custody rather than the three months in jail he described in his book. Oops.
