Oprah to Tell You How to Keep Weight Under Control

As if what she's been doing for the length of her career in entertainment industry has yet enough, Oprah Winfrey is giving hand at a new job. The talk show queen has signed a deal with the publisher Simon & Schuster to write a book about weight control which reportedly is due for a January release.

The deal, announced at the annual Book Expo America in Washington, is claimed to be the biggest signed for a non-fiction work, though the amount was not disclosed. One thing for sure Oprah is assumed to exceed the $12 million Bill Clinton received for his 2004 memoir, "My Life."

More on the book, it will be co-written with Winfrey's personal fitness trainer, Bob Greene, who frequently appears on her TV program and has signed a deal with McDonald's to promote its healthy meal campaign.
