Oprah Admits James Frey Himself Is a Fabrication

CHICAGO, IL—On the heels of new revelations that James Frey's "My Friend Leonard" also contains significant amounts of fabrications, talk show superstar Oprah Winfrey has announced that Frey himself is, in fact, a fabrication. "I'm deeply saddened to tell you all that James is just a sophisticated hologram created by my good friends at George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic," announced a damp-eyed Winfrey to a stunned studio audience. "But that certainly doesn't take away from the tremendous suffering he has gone through." Aimee Albatini, who earned her MFA in Creative Writing from Chicago's Roosevelt University in 2002 and who currently works as a bartender at Mother's on Rush Street, actually penned the best-selling "A Million Little Pieces" and its sequel. "Real is overrated! Real is overrated!" chanted Oprah over the rising cheers of audience members.
