After nearly two weeks of radio silence, Oprah Winfrey has finally responded to TMZ's numerous requests for comment on Dr. Jan Adams and why she promoted him on her show when he is not board certified in plastic surgery.

Adams was featured on the Oprah show in 2003 with other cosmetic surgeons. In just a few hours of investigating, TMZ found DUIs and malpractice suits -- among other things. How could Oprah have missed it -- and not known or cared that Dr. Adams was not a board-certified plastic surgeon?

A rep for Oprah tells TMZ, "Dr. Jan Adams appeared as a guest on the 'Oprah' show just once, in 2003, as the host of the Discovery Health Channel series, 'Plastic Surgery: Before and After.' The show he appeared on focused on various television series that highlighted trends in cosmetic surgery. Since he was booked as a guest commentator on the subject of medical television, not in his capacity as a surgeon, and since we did not promote him as a cosmetic surgeon, there was no reason to do a background check on him. We have removed all references to him from our website."

But on the show, an audience member says she's interested in getting several procedures done. Oprah, who is sitting next to Dr. Adams, says, "Let me see if I can hook you up." Oprah then leans into Dr. Adams and says, "We may know somebody."

Dr. Adams performed several cosmetic procedures on Kanye West's mother the day before she died.

Ugh...as if this wasn't enough...more details are being released in the death of Grammy award-winning Hip Hop star, Kanye West's mother, Donda West.

TMZ.com reported that Donda West, went under the knife last Friday, for a tummy tuck and breast lift. Surgeon Dr. Jan Adams performed an unusually long (8 hours) surgey, that went from morning to evening. He then sent Donda home, where she was dead upon the arrival of medics.

There are many questions involved in this situation. According to doctors at Centinela Hospital, the institution, West's body was taken to, believe that the "excessive" amount of time the procedure lasted for, shows evidence that something went wrong during that procedure. It was also discovered that Dr. Adams is not Board Certified according to the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

It seems essentially that the surgeon was too inexperienced. I feel so horrible for Kanye, who we all know shouts out his mama on every album. I just wonder if this will change his perspective on glamor and the glamorous lifestyle.

I also want to know, how someone with wealth, still fell threw the cracks of the plastic surgery nightmares that exist. Please, if your gonna later what God gave you, just be very, very careful.
