Sherri Shepherd Finds Her ‘Voice’ After Backlash of Dismissive Tweets

I just have to give props to Sherri Shepherd who left Chicago to do better and land gigs that would just feed her son! And this was before her second marriage or before the world knew about Sherri Shepherd’s cheating first husband or the private pain of losing the second half to son Jeffery’s twin birth. Sherri Shepherd is a comedian. before there were the television sitcom shows and The View and Dancing With The Stars, Sherri was doing stand-up at nondescript venues.

Now that she is a regular co-host on The View, Sherri is getting the eye of scrutiny placed upon her by opinionated viewers who are well versed in the world of social media. When Sherri said that the world was flat, many people took to twitter in dismay, but, just as many supported her new venture in television talk and could understand her nervousness about the show and as Sherri later said in interviews, she was also experiencing personal troubles and don’t we all?

Recently, after Wendy Williams broke down on her own show while discussing her angst over her 13 year old son’s attitude toward her; preferring to hang out with his dad, refusing to pick up after himself, etc, Wendy Williams was invited on The View to talk and share the teas about her on set tear down. Wouldn’t you know, people took to twitter to praise Wendy for not taking crap from Barbara Walters and her seemingly insinuations that something was wrong in Wendy’s mother/son relationship.

If y’all missed it, just go to the clip of the day at The View featuring Wendy Williams.The blogs had a field day talking about Wendy putting it down on Barbara and that Whoopi & Sherri didn’t say much in the segment as speculating that Whoopi was either angry with Barbara for her behavior or with Wendy for talking too loud and too much. I say which one is it people? just sayin.’

Anyhew ,there were a lot of ‘ugly’ digs at 84 year old Walters, with the majority of folks calling for her to sit down at home or go on an extended vacay somewhere. I have mad respect for the long time Journalist and TV personality, and frankly she makes me tired just looking at her 🙂 What?! Y’all know Barbara need to enjoy the remainder of her life doing absolutely nothing but being Barbara in luxurious contentment. It’s totally nonsense to work your buns off until you’re past eighty, only to die tomorrow! Life is totally not promised, but to hasten it? Reality sucks, people. But, then there’s the other side ” a body at rest tends to stay at rest?” Naw, she needs to lie down.

Okay, back to Sherri Shepherd. The blogs tore into Sherri for not having a backbone and not standing up to Barbara. Folks are saying that whenever Sherri starts to talk or respond, she never gets her point across because Barbara holds up her hand to silence Sherri and Sherri obeys:) People need to quit, I tell ya.

Just today, Sherri did indeed hold her own. She sparred word for word with Ms. Walters in regards to Woody Allen’s alleged penchant for little girls and his adopted daughter accusing him of sexual abuse when she was only 7 years old. Barbara defended Woody Allen, calling him and wife, Soon Yi (his former stepdaughter) wonderful parents to their little girls-hmm

Sherri Shepherd fired back that Woody Allen had sex with and married his step daughter. She also said he dated 17 year old and liked young girls. Of course the heat was on and the show went to commercial. When the show returned, Barbara Walters had the last say on the subject, reminding folks that Woody Allen had been investigated when first accused back in the day and NO evidence was found that he was abusing his daughter.

And now you people on social media, the blogs etc can stop taking digs at Sherri Shepherd. She definitely found her voice and stepped up to the plate of speaking her truths. I wonder if it’s because Sherri Shepherd is her own force to be reckoned with these days? A visionary woman of books, talk shows, dating game shows, television and movies and even a wig line. Gotta own your voice when you’re running in the circle of the “big dogs” doncha know?

Elizabeth Hasselbeck Says Good-Bye To The View!

To be clear, there were no actual tears shed for Elizabeth Hasselbeck as she made her announcement on The View that she was leaving the show. Although Barbara Walters walked the co-host onto the view set and appeared slightly teary-eyed, when Hasselbeck was making the announcement/good-bye speech on her last day, the overall consensus from her cohorts and audience seemed muted and relieved?

Sherri Shepherd, who was absent from the show today, tweeted out” love you too, my sis in Christ- whose hands will I hold under the table? Who will I pray with?” while the other women listened to Elizabeth’s summation on how she felt about each of them. She said to Barbara Walters, she learned how to be a journalist who felt confident enough in interviewing everyone, including the president, due to having honed her journalistic skills 101 from sitting at the View table with her.

She respected Joy Behar’s professionalism and candor; these two often butted heads in their political viewpoints. She told Whoopi Goldberg, how she felt that Whoopi was one of the most esteemed actors on the planet ( basically) and respected her a great deal. To Sherri, who Hasselbeck admitted to having spoken on the phone with the night before, she said they’d be hugging for three days when she saw her.

Joy Behar joked, “Won’t you be a fish out of water there?” alluding to Hasselbeck’s move to work at Fox & Friends on Fox Television. Joy, who is leaving the show as well, congratulated Elizabeth, telling her she was glad to see, “you’re moving into a great job.” Whoopi referred to Hasselbeck as “The Cat’s Meow” and ended by saying, “May we both continue to grow.”

Barbara Walters, feigning tears (What!?!) had this to say. “You always brought a fresh voice to the show and stood by your opinions even when it wasn’t an easy thing to do. You will be leaving a big void at the table, but, we won’t be filling it anytime soon.”Barbara tells viewers NOT to send a barrage of emails about filling Hasselbeck’s position!

So, Elizabeth Hasselbeck came up from a finalist on Survivor in 2001, to become a co-host at The View, where she became famous for her conservative views and battles with the other co-hosts. She has published 2 books on Gluten Free meals and served as an ABC contributor to Good Morning America. She’s rich, doncha know? Elizabeht Hasselbeck is doing just fine and will go on to “enjoy the view” at the table of Fox & Friends!

Whoopi Goldberg In Concert @ The Venue

Image via Wikipedia

I’m chilling from the power of Whoopi in concert last night at The Venue in Hammond Indiana, inside the warmth of The Horseshoe Casino. I gamble a bit, but, tonight it wasn’t about “show me the money”, rather “where my Whoopi at?” Whoopi did not disappoint. She came to the stage casual in white shirt, jeans and snickers… I’m going to digress a bit and say that Sherri Sheperd was there to support her View co-host as well & was invited upon the stage by Ms. Goldberg. 

 Sherri didn’t utter a word, just gave Whoopi a hug and waved to her fans before leaving Whoopi to command the stage…We’re not mad at you Sherri. It’s all good. Now, to the highlights from Whoopi being, Whoopi!

1. “Who the fu*k idea was it to put a f*cking casino on the f#cking water? It’s fu*king cold out here!”

2.”Ya’ll are fu**king late!I know we’re on cp time, but, what the fu*k?!” Whoopi was vibing on the late comers to the show, but the audience loved it! And there really was an explanation for the tardiness of some folks. The Casino was darn crowded. The show was sold out with folks still coming…It was frigging awesome! 

Whoopi opens the floor to questions from the over zealous crowds:

1. If you were a lesbo, (lesbian) who in your opinion would you sleep with? From a young gay fellow…ans. If I was & I’m not, I’d have to say K.D. LANG because of her singing voice and she’s a good looking woman.

2.Whoopi, you’re a sexy lady, I don’t know why you have to cover yourself up? Clearly you can see it, so I’m not that covered up. Thank you for the compliment. I’d rather folks see my face.

Other revealing T’s from Whoopi in concert:

She refuses to joke about Charlie Sheen & Mel Gibson‘s situation with alcohol & drug abuse because “They’re in deep shit” and it’s not a joking matter.

Sammy Davis Jr. was a good & helpful friend to her early on in her career…Ditto, Whoopi, loved me some Sammy.

Prince didn’t force Kim Kardashian off the stage as reported. Whoopi was there and states that Prince asked Kim to dance, but, wasn’t upset. He just went on to his singer and Kim joined everyone on stage later.

Thinks Rahm Emanuel will do well for the people of Chicago as their mayor. Rham’s brother is, in fact, Whoopi’s agent!!!!!!!!!

Finally, on today’s Whoopi Goldberg in concert report:

Whoopi will be returning to Chicago with a play called White Noise…details pending. For all of your “T” updates, my place is THE place to be…Feel me?

Sherri Shepherd Announces Engagement!

So apparently this isn’t breaking news, but, not everyone knows, so it’s all good! Sherri Shepherd announced on The View today that she’s engaged! It seems the co-host/comic has been quietly been dating Lamar Sally, a television writer for the last year.

The two have been commuting, but, according to Ms. Shepherd, Lamar will move to New York and after the wedding, they’ll maybe settle in Chicago! Sherri says her son Jeffery sort of sealed the deal for her when he told his mom that he wanted only Lamar to take him to church (OOOOh) Well, let’s hope that Sherri has found the man of her dreams and true happiness with Lamar…

fyi- USMAGAZINE.COM  was spot on in getting the first engaged statements from the couple…

The View In Review

So folks might know that I watch the ladies of The View from time to time. I, like many of you have witnessed Meredith Viera tearful departure for a lead anchor spot on The Today Show. Star Jones infamous money grubbing deals before getting the ax, as well as the downfall of none other than Rosie O’Donnell, herself…And well, there’s the other two, Debbie whose name escapes me and Lisa ‘another Oprah’ protege’, yet, all ended up doing their thing and apparently surviving the fallout from The View…

Today, viewers got a look back at some of the very things we all witnessed in The View’s 3000th episodes where the women of today, Barbara, Joy, Whoopie, Sherri and Elizabeth recalled their most memorable episodes of The View’s Hot Topic Moments:

Sherri remembers how emotional it was to have finally seen a Black man become president of The United States. She said now she could tell her son that being black didn’t mean you were limited any longer: Limitations, Barack Obama & Politics-gotta love Sherri, who will be getting out the vote ya’ll!

Elizabeth recalls the turmoil of her & Rosie’s battle of words involving DISAGREEMENT over The War in Iraq, Terriorism and Elizabeth’s “Don’t you,Rosie, dare call me a coward!”… A bit embarrassed after the clip was shown, Elizabeth swalloped a lump & insists that she and Rosie have moved on (okay right)

Whoopie got down and dirty when it came to that Race thing. Whoopie make no apologies about how she feel when it comes to race relations in the USA! Especially when use of the “N” word is beeped from the show’s premier  subject- Why beep the word when it’s used in ugly ways by ugly folks being ugly? I feel ya Whoopie. Give the people what they want-truth in daytime-…

Joy sheds light on Sex and Politicians. She ponders why men in politics have  have sex scandals. She thought that the Tiger Woods scandal actually paled in comparison to some of the high profile names in politics who had affairs…Thanks Joy, my sentiments exactly-Men in Politics who cheat cannot be expected to run a countrywith full disclosure…wives would find out!

Barbara Walters is the woman of The View. Close to 80, there abouts, the woman has staying power, that’s for sure. Been there, done that and still keep right on adding fuel to the ladies fire from a place at the head of the table. Ms. Walters was, like all of us, taken aback and shocked by 911 and the horrific events that occurred.

It was 6 days after the bombing of The Twin Towers before The View was seen in its entirety by viewers and a handful of studio audiences…

The View In Review…

Here,it’s all about the “Ts”as my mentor in gossip, Wendy Williams asks “How You Doin?”
