Whoopi Goldberg Doesn’t Think Canadians Use The N-Word For Real

June 6th, 2014 By Krysta Fitzpatrick

I used to really like Whoopi Goldberg. I thought she was a bit of fun and the “Sister Act” movies were fucking awesome. However, ever since Elizabeth Hassle-whatever left “Thew View”, Whoopi has kind of stepped in as the resident crazy person, making all sorts of outlandish comments.

The other day, those yakkity yak bitches were weighing in on the whole Justin Bieber n-word scandal and Whoopi, being a woman of colour, chimed in and actually DEFENDED Biebs. She didn’t stick up for him because he was young and stupid, which I could maybe accept, but because he was Canadian, and here in Canada we don’t really use the n-word and get what it means. Yeah, ok.

Tacky-Ass Jenny McCarthy Injects Some Needed Sex Appeal Into “The View”

July 17th, 2013 By Chris Chambers

To quote the incomparable Andy Cohen: ?Big Mazel to the great @JennyMcCarthy! #theView is abt to get #cray.? And?it’s true. America’s treasure, that demure little flower, Jenny McCarthy, will be joining the cast of The View, thereby sealing its position as the most unwatchable show on television.

As all diligent hausfraus know, the cast of The View has experienced a real shake-up lately. The insufferable Elisabeth Hasselbeck finally?left to spout her narrow-minded bullshit elsewhere, Joy Behar is leaving later this summer, and Babs has just one year left. But instead of rolling with it, letting that bitch-fest dwindle down organically, maybe letting Whoopi and Sherri fight it out, the producers are tampering with nature and replacing the empty spots.

30 Years Later, Cyndi Lauper Still Just Wants to Have Fun

June 4th, 2013 By Chris Chambers

There’s hardly anyone on earth more awesome than Cyndi Lauper. Just look at her back in the 80s?with that hair and the clothes pins all over. She’s?like old school-Madonna’s quirky, unslutty little sister with a much better singing voice. She’s on The Goonies soundtrack, twice. And she basically rules.

Jump ahead a few decades and?Cyndi is?still wacky,?if somewhat more mainstream … still singing,?still touring, and?recently Tony-nominated?for composing the score to?Broadway’s new darling, Kinky Boots.

To?mark the?30th anniversary of??Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” …?one of the greatest pop songs ever … some of?Cyndi’s friends surprised her by putting together a?pretty awful, but still touching?video?of them lip syncing to the song.

Ted Danson, Whoopi Goldberg and Other Odd Celebrity Couples

December 26th, 2012 By Nic Ferguson

It’s easy to forget that Ted Danson once dated Whoopi Goldberg. Why? Because it was just so damn random, that’s why.

But they’re not the only odd celebrity pairing, not by far. We’ve rounded up just a few of the most bizarre celebrity couples in the history of celebrity-dom.

Whoopi Goldberg May Have, But Probably Hasn’t, Had Sex With David Cameron

August 12th, 2010 By Ralph Sanders

Entire industries have been built on people with long angled lenses hanging out in coffee shops opposite four-star hotels, hoping that members of Five Star (or other celebrities) will come out with mystery blondes on their arms.

Apparently, following the cast of Twilight around is paying school fees for about half the hacks in LA. Anyway, the thing about these kinds of stories is that the people featured in them are usually either famous, attractive, about to have a film out and are shameless publicity whores, or a combination of the three.

But now it seems that the tabloids have run out of everyone in those categories and have come up with something involving people who are neither young, attractive or have a film out. The Mirror reports that Whoopi Goldberg has been seen coming out of a central London accommodation with ? wait for it ? David Cameron. Yikes.

Octomom Appears On TV, Is Weird

February 25th, 2010 By Stuart Heritage

Octomom Nadya Suleman has come in for a lot of stick since giving birth to all those children last year.

And it’s unfair. Just because she convinced a doctor to fill her with so many embryos that throughout her pregnancy you could hear them all screaming in terror like people trapped in a burning skyscraper every time she so much as bent over, it doesn’t mean that Nadya Suleman isn’t normal. And yesterday she appeared on The View to prove how normal she is.

That said, what Nadya Suleman actually did was babble and yelp and squeak and wail and contradict herself several times within the space of the same breath and show everyone what she looks like in swimwear and generally make Whoopi Goldberg pull a face like she was being forced to watch a video of graphic animal cruelty. Job done, then.

Christian Bale Rant: Stars Continue To Spoil Our Fun

March 24th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

Christian Bale’s Terminator rant is easily the best thing to happen to the world in about five years – fact.

But what’s also fact is it’s not universally loved. The sad truth is that some saps can’t take pleasure from a recording of a prick being a prick to a prick. And, inevitably, most of those people are famous.

So far, Whoopi Goldberg and Terry Crews have stood up for Christian Bale, building hopes that there’ll soon be an all-star charity concert to raise awareness of the rights of unbearably dickish actors with indeterminate accents so. Fingers crossed it’s called AH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-Aid.

Whoopi Goldberg Thanks Patrick Swayze For Oscar Win

March 31st, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

This is just a hunch, but we think Whoopi Goldberg might be having a competition with herself to find the most inappropriate time to mention her Oscar win.

Up until now Whoopi hadn't been doing so well, only talking about winning an Oscar on the day after the Oscars. But that was before Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.

You see, Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze starred together in Ghost, the movie that Whoopi Goldberg won her Oscar for. And yesterday on The View, Whoopi paid tribute to Patrick Swayze by claiming that she wouldn't have won her Oscar if it wasn't for him. Which we're sure will brighten Patrick's day immeasurably, unless he happens to have something more important on his mind at the moment.

Whoopi Goldberg Gets All Weepy About Oscar Snub

March 25th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

Since this year's Oscars were made of about 85% retrospective clips, it meant that viewers were forced to watch every last self-congratulatory moment from Oscar history on Sunday.

Except one – thanks to a heartbreaking oversight, Vassilis Fotopoulos' speech after winning the Best Art Direction Oscar for Zorba The Greek in 1964 was cruelly omitted from the proceedings.

Oh, and everything Whoopi Goldberg ever did. Despite winning an Oscar – and being the Oscars host on four separate occasions between 1994 and 2001 – there was no sign of Whoopi Goldberg anywhere in all the endless montages on Sunday. And that made Whoopi Goldberg cry. On TV. Video after the jump.

Top 7 Undeserved Oscars

August 7th, 2012 By hecklerspray staff

We can all agree that Daniel Day Lewis deserved to pick up his second Oscar this week for There Will Be Blood. But let's face it, there have been some people who shouldn't even have been let in the building, never mind win the award.

In recent years, standards have certainly slipped. In fact, the way things are looking, even the likes of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Sir Roger Moore, and perhaps Big Mo from EastEnders stand a fleeting chance at Oscar glory. So let us present the Oscar-winning performances that surely should never have been…
