I've watched Oprah make potato salad with Patti Labelle, dance with Tina Turner and Gloria Estefan, and sing with Elton John. And I'll admit that on certain occasions--when a family is finally reunited or when a particularly homely homemaker is given the makeover of her dreams--I have been touched. Maybe even inspired...
