just what a phoney she is. I personally know of two instances where lies were told to people to entice them onto the show and then slammed when they showed up. I avoid her and anything she sponsors. I've heard of her so-called "generosity" but since she appears to be willing to use people in one way or another, I've always thought of it as publicity stunts rather than a demonstration of any kind of human kindness on her part. When her network showed up, I deleted it from my line-up of networks I watch. I think it's long past time when she should just retire to a corner to count her money and leave the rest of the world alone.
