Home shopping seems like a second career Oprah Winfrey would be especially suited for — see how people flock to her book club?
But the talk-show queen has set her sights a little higher. With the Oprah show coming to a close after this season, the big O is set to star in a movie — and not just any straight-to-DVD flick, a Michael Patrick King film that also stars Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep.
King, best known for his work on the Sex and the City films, is directing the as-yet untitled comedy, which centers around hosts at a home-shopping network dealing with problems of marketing, marriage and the media.
It's not Winfrey's first flirtation with the silver screen; she earned a supporting actress Oscar nomination for The Color Purple.
