I would agree that part of the reason is lipstick, but would not be surprised if it was partly because of germs also. I also think that a side of the lips kiss is less intimate than a full smooch which most people reserve for, well, more intimate situations.
You could always go to her website and contact someone to have her asked directly.

I'm Hispanic and we do that all the time when we greet family, friends and close people to them... it's more personal than a regular hug or handshake... and we do it from the side of the mouth so we don't actually put our mouths on the other person's face, as some people may not be comfortable with a mouth kiss at all. Also, you don't want to be rude and get slop or makeup on the other person either.

I think a better question would be, why does Oprah appear in every single front cover of her magazine?? Doesn't that bother anyone else?

It's a European custom brought to the U.S. and particularly used by high society. A little less intimate than a hug, but better than a handshake.

Maybe she doesn't want to mess up her lip stick! Plus she kisses ALOT of people, maybe she's a germ-a-phobe!

Because she's a considerate human being. ;)
Oprah is too cool. I think she is beautiful.

Because it's less intimate, and more casual and friendly.

So her guests don't get covered in lipstick and she doesn't smudge it
