Oprah, Whitney..."exclusive" ?!

 

 

  You'll be hearing about this all week, until your ears bleed, so let's make it official now - Oprah/ Whitney, the Interview that Wrecked the GMA Performance - is being dubbed by the Queen herself as the best sit-down she's ever done.

 (Though, really, would you expect her to say it was the eighth best, or maybe fifth best? The Best sounds so much better.)

 Airs next Monday and Tuesday.

  What really seems somewhat debateable, however, is use of the words "world exclusive" in the press release that Harpo jagged out to the universe this morning.  

 "During this world exclusive, Houston speaks out for the first time in seven years about
her marriage with Bobby Brown, drugs, rehab and how her family saved her..."

  In fact, Whitney's done quite a few interviews the last few weeks. Perhaps too many - resulting in last week's hoarse whisperer concert at "GMA." In fact, Whit blamed the best-interview-ever for sounding a little off during the "GMA" afternoon performance.

  By the way, here's what O says about the interview:

  "I think it's the best interview I've ever done.  But I guess you're supposed to let other people say that about yourself.  I can't think of a moment, ever, when I had a
stronger connection to the person I was interviewing. 

 "My approach to this interview was to not be judgmental in any way, and not to go in trying to get her to say things to make a 'moment.'   I just wanted to be able to have an honest conversation with her.  One woman to another woman. 

 "And the day of the interview I literally prayed about that all day long.  I just wanted a connection between the two of us.  And that is what happened. "

  OK. We'll watch this one too...

 Meanwhile, the recent CNN interview....
