Happy 52nd Birthday to Whoopi!
The show opened with the announcement of Whoopi’s birthday and she received a standing ovation. Also, Whoopi revealed a designer three layer birthday cake sent by the Queen of Soul – Aretha Franklin! With that – she opened the “Hot Topics” with a discussion on Office Gossip – more specific “What is Gossip?” Barbara Walters gave the classic school marm response – “If you’re not saying something positive; then it’s gossip.” Joy shot back with – “It’s just interesting conversation;” which is a more realistic response. So, we can deduce – Joy is pro gossip. As Whoopi moderated the ladies over-lapping dialogue; Sherry (true to her nature) ushered the elephant in the room by shouting over everyone; “When I started ‘The View’ I was told; ‘don’t get on the Big Kahuna’s bad side or you’ll get fired!” Okay, at 11:15am – it’s too early for me to hit the sauce – so I took a big gulp of my Goya coffee. Everyone around “The View” table had a ‘no she didn’t say that’ look! Priceless! Once Barbara picked her face off the floor – she defended herself by asking; ‘who told you that?’ And then…commercial break.
Hot Topic #2 – Do you get annoyed when your mate ogles someone of the opposite sex?
Sherry kicked off the discussion – stating that it never bothered her when her ex-husband ogled at other women – maybe that’s why he’s her ex-husband (Sherry’s words). Then, Barbara revealed that she was the one who ‘ogled’ (if you will) at beautiful women. At that point, Joy brought out the new book by Leonard Nimoy - The Full Body Project (a collection of nude photographs of very full bodied women). Well, Joy explained how she’s oddly attracted to the obsessed women – which “are not normally beautiful.” (Wait a minute, did Joy say that out loud.) That’s when Whoopi quickly chimed in, “I think they are beautiful!” This leads us to one of Sherry’s notorious “boob” story (she can’t get through a show without a boob story). While she (Sherry) was soaking in a Jacuzzi – a small breasted woman (also soaking) could not stop staring at Sherry’s ambled bosoms – which were floating like beach balls. Now, that’s a visual –huh! We needed a commercial break.
The guest – Bill O’Reily brought Whoopi flowers for her birthday as he plugged his new book “Kid’s Are Americans, Too.” Barbara was upset and somewhat depressed that she agreed with many points of the book; especially the main point of parents needing more control of their kids. As the debate reached a fevered pitched – Joy debated about parents forcing their kids to go to church (which she was against). Bill O’Reily yells out – “Kids don’t have the right to set the agenda!” The audience applauded (as did I) as Joy yelled back to Bill, “Just because you yelled – don’t make it right!” Oddly, I remember saying that to an ex-boyfriend.
The show ended on a celebratory note by returning to Whoopi’s birthday – with a performance by Marc Cohan and a special delivery of strawberry cake (Whoopi’s favorite) by the Cake Man Raven of Brooklyn!
Then, we took some time to enjoy the view!
