Oprah Winfrey propose to longtime boyfriend, Stedman, as means to save her OWN network!

Oo heck no!! The streets are talking and according to reports, Oprah Winfrey is reportedly marrying longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham in TV special, as a last resort to boost ratings on her declingin OWN network.

Winfrey is said to be so desperate to pull in viewers for her failing show that she has asked her boyfriend for his hand in marriage.  According to The National Enquirer,  Oprah has asked Stedman, her boyfriend of 25 years, to marry her – and is offering him a $100 million pre-nup.

“Oprah’s realized that the shows she’s created are just not attract­ing interest – the fans want to see HER,” a source told the publication. “So she’s devised a secret plan to save OWN by getting married to Stedman on live TV.”

“She began to break down cry­ing, saying she had made a mess of OWN. Then Oprah looked at Stedman and said, ‘You’ve always been my knight in shining armor. Will you finally marry me?’ Stedman was absolutely floored and a little shell-shocked, but he didn’t hesitate and joked, ‘I thought I was the one who asked YOU – 20 years ago! What’s the big rush all of a sudden?”

After Stedman agreed, Oprah then mentioned the lucrative pre-nup, to which he replied: “You’re way too generous… Is this why you’ve waited all these years – because you didn’t want to change your name to Oprah Graham?”

The insider added: “By marrying Stedman she can not only give viewers a TV event that will rival the royal weddings, but also months of programming cov­ering everything from shopping for her gown and choosing the wedding site to selecting the food and band – everything down to en­graving the invitations.”

“There’ll be the bridal showers, even Stedman’s bachelor party will be televised on OWN!”

WOW! Are you SERIOUS?! Thoughts? Should she have went to that extreme?
