Oprah Winfrey is being sued - for a trillion dollars! The talk show host has been slapped with a lawsuit in an intellectual property case. The papers were filed July 31 with the US District Court in Washington, DD by author Damon Lloyd Goffe.

Goffe is suing Oprah and her production company Harpo, Inc for damages he claims to be worth $1 trillion. In the legal papers, Goffe claims: "In April 2008 Oprah confessed to seizing original works of authorship." He alleges that Oprah published on the internet the first draft of his work A Tome of Poetry under another title Pieces of My Soul. Goffe admits the website in question is no longer live but he alleges Oprah sold over 650 million editions of the work online for $20 a copy which, the papers state: "Calculates for 1.2 trillion dollars!"
