Is Pippa Middleton the next Oprah?

The royal sis-in-law is reportedly in talks for her own Oprah Winfrey-style talk show. According to the National Enquirer (we know) and InTouch (yes, yes -- we know!) Middleton is being courted by both Oprah Winfrey's production company and "View" doyenne Barbara Walters.Walters, who reportedly once tried to snag Catherine (aka Kate) as a "View" co-host, has apparently moved on to Pippa -- who is quickly moving out of the second string and becoming a name in her own right.
We're going to go ahead and guess that the royal family would frown on so close a relative engaging in such a frivolous pursuit. Hosting a talk show would clearly be almost as gauche as wearing a hat like this to the wedding of the century.

Actually, I think it's a great idea. They keep talking about wanting to modernize the monarchy and make it closer to the people. This is one way to do it. I wouldn't want them to go so far as to give us "Will and Kate Plus 8" but these days the way to people's hearts is often through their TV sets...
Why would you consider Pippa worthy of a talk show? I have never heard her open her mouth or speak a word. I've never heard her opinions on any topic at all. Just because her sister married a prince who is heir to the throne of England doesn't mean any of them are now qualified for anything other than exactly what they were doing before the wedding, whatever that might be.
well, i think she can try... but to be the next "oprah"? i doubt it...
I thought Katie Couric was the next Oprah, maybe Pippa can be the next Katie Couric. Or maybe she could just continue being herself.
no salt and pepper
let her be herself
