The soul star has launched a damage control campaign in the wake of his controversial remarks in the March issue of Playboy Magazine — sadly for John, his “I’z Sorry Tour” will have to roll on without any help from The Queen of Talk. PopEater’s Naughty But Nice Column claims Oprah Winfrey has turned down an opportunity to interview the “Daughters” crooner about last week’s scandal.
“Oprah is the smartest person on TV and will not let John use her or her show to ask for forgiveness. If John really wants to apologize for his racist and sexist comments, he should find somewhere else.

Winfrey, who has had school founder Ron Clark on her show twice, donated $365,000 to the school last December. Clark wrote the best-selling teaching book The Essential 55.
The school is hoping to expand its campus by building a cafeteria, gymnasium, and theater.
