Oprah And Larry King Battling For Jade Goody
Apparently Oprah and Larry King are each willing to pay about $1M to have an interview with Jade Goody before she passes away. According to her doctor's the cancer has now spread to her brain and she has less than four weeks to live. Meanwhile her husband was convicted of assault yesterday and so I guess he will be headed to prison. I know he just got out of jail after being in there for assault or something similar. I really hope that all of this money Jade is raising is kept in a trust for her kids and that her husband can't touch any of it or there will not be any left.
Fox was also interested in securing an interview with Jade but dropped out when the bidding got too high. I could see Jade being on Larry King because he has so many international viewers, but I don't think the average Oprah viewer has any idea who she is. I think Oprah's viewers would respond to Jade, but I also think the interview would probably take longer than an hour and Oprah would have to fly to London because there is no way Jade is flying anywhere. On Larry King they could just do it on a satellite, because let's face it, even if she were sitting right across from him in Los Angeles he probably wouldn't even notice her. I think they just point Larry in the right direction and say, "speak."
