That special little lady in Oprah’s life? Her role keeps getting bigger all the time. On Tuesday, the Oprah Winfrey Network announced that Gayle King, Winfrey’s best girlfriend (and definitely not her secret lover!) will join Robin Meade as the moderator of ‘Ask Oprah’s All Stars,’ four two-hour prime-time specials featuring Oprah’s dream team, Dr. Phil McGraw, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Suze Orman. (The first special premieres Jan. 2.) OWN also announced that the television debut of ‘The Gayle King Show’ has been pushed back to Jan. 10 in order to accommodate King’s busy schedule. It’s good to be the BFF-in-chief!
