Didn't I read somewhere that the poem that she "wrote" was actually 
plagiarized from another poet, and that this other poet was pretty pissed 
off about it?  It got very little press, as it is politically incorrect 
to point out this kind of thing when a celebrity minority is the 
offender.  Consider that it was reported that Dr. Martin Luther King 
plagiarized his doctoral thesis, yet one never hears much about it.

Correct.
