Oprah Winfrey (http://www.popeater.com/celebrities/oprah-winfrey/) stunned viewers on Monday with news that she recently discovered a half-sister (http://www.popeater.com/2011/01/24/oprah-winfrey-secret-sister/) she never knew about, but that's only part of the amazing story. Now it turns out that the talk-show queen's sibling, Patricia, cared so much about her sister's privacy and reputation that she turned down a blockbuster offer from a tabloid magazine to expose the truth.
"All Patricia wanted was the truth," an insider tells me. "She wasn't interested in selling her story even for a million dollars. She just wanted to know who she was, where she came from and if she had any brothers or sisters. She had no idea when she started this search she would end up being Oprah Winfrey's half-sister."
Oprah Winfrey promised to reveal a huge family secret on her show, and she didn't disappoint. The queen of all media introduced Patricia in an emotional and jaw-dropping hour of television. Patricia and Oprah share a mother, Vernita Lee, who had kept her pregnancy with her third daughter a secret all these years after giving up Patricia for adoption when Oprah was only 9 years old.

Now waiting for the other shoe to drop and for her to admit she is the real mother of Obama fatherd by Osama while on vacation in Osaka. Birthing done in secret in Titicaca and baptism done by the father of lady Ga-ga.
Take it away boys, get wild and wooly with this.
