  1. well, she is Whoopi's favorite topic, so not surprised Quiet, sweet Sara is VERY stealth-strategic.
  2. Isn't it sad-ish? Still, she was born/raised in New York and (probably) at the time all her close relatives were still alive and (maybe) living with her. L.A. would have required moving EVERYONE. A female in my social circle 1960s to late 80s was very talented and accomplished, yet she found it necessary to brag about herself and embellish her "resume." Another in our group said, "A discussion with (insert her name here) is always another episode of 'Can You Top This'." NOTE: Can You Top This? was an audience-participation show, created by veteran vaudeville comedian "Senator" Edward Ford. During a joke-swapping session at a New York theatrical club, Ford conceived of a radio show where comedians would try to top each other. Can You Top This? debuted on WOR/New York in 1940.
  3. I wondered about that, too. I've seen pictures of her before, and her hair was always pouffed up, but the hair on the show was exceptionally high, and IMO not really attractive. DEFINITELY not attractive. Bizarre way to get attention? Her face is so pretty but that hair is a Dumb Distraction. I think people like Theresa take advantage of gullible or superstitious others...but if she wants to be taken seriously, LOOSE THE LOOK.
  4. Nothing. People would just have someone new to complain about. Not really. For me, I'd think, "Hmmm...does this mean there IS a god?"
  5. I agree with this. We know that Joy and Whoopi are genuine friends. Joy and Sunny go shopping together. Sara and Alyssa have done some couple things with their husbands. And Ana seems to have softened towards Alyssa. There doesn't seem to be tension at the table the way there was when MM was there. I remember watching those shows and being happy when MM didn't walk out. She really brought the show down. I think there's still tension between Sunny and Alyssa (jealousy on Sunny's part). Sunny may be an attorney (we hear it daily), but Alyssa's smarts and government experience allow her to hold her own. She continues to get spots on the political shows to give her opinion. Sunny doesn't. The show just featured Alyssa's interview/photo in the New York Times. Has Sunny had the same?
  6. Apparently she can't "afford" to retire because she continues to support her entire family. Maybe when she's at work they don't bother her for help, handouts, jobs, etc. I've read that the top brass at Disney LOVE her, so she's not goin' anywhere.
  7. Whoopi, All-Knowing Pontificator, explained to the panel that both DOGS (animals) and STUNTPEOPLE received Oscars this year...just not at the main event. They received them at an earlier time. NOTE: They did not, Here's information from the 'net, somewhat more reliable than Ms. Goldberg, "Stunts have long been an underappreciated part of Hollywood history, and in recent years, more and more filmmakers have spoken out to ask the Oscars to recognize them publicly. Earlier this year, the Academy announced plans to add its first new category in more than 20 years, honoring casting directors but not stunts." Apparently the same goes for dogs/animals. "While animal actors have never received an Academy Award, there have been cases where animals have been showcased on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, such as Lassie, Kermit the Frog, Donald Duck, and Godzilla. It's probably a long shot that an animal will be featured or even nominated for an Academy Award any time soon," Whoopi. ETA: I bet the ladies at the table dare NOT bring any corrections to Whoopi's attention.
  8. Actually, she tried to convince us that it was a joke, that she's a "humorist." NO! Her deliver was trying to convince everyone she'd been to jail AND hiked on the Appalacian Trail. Brian must have whispered in hear earpiece that she needs to correct herself.
  9. Yes. He suggested he come back and co-host, Whoopi seemed to imply she'd make that happen.
  10. I wish Sunny would defend HER OWN BELIEFS and opinions and not make her Cath-O-lic church the scapegoat. She and Manny were willing to go against the Church's strong opposition to IVF (some say it's a mortal sin), but she's "forced" to be against abortion because she's Catholic. When she says she's anti-abortion, it should be her own stance. She goes against science when she says (strongly) that an embryo is a baby. Let her be as brave in all opinions. Right or wrong. From the 'net: "The Catholic church opposes all technological interventions into the process of human reproduction. More specifically, the document condemned artificial insemination and embryo transfer, in vitro fertilization, and surrogate motherhood under all circumstances."
  11. And this means that if anyone (we?) goes (go) to work for an IVF facility, one of the employment benefits the organizations/corporations we should expect, in addition to competitive pay, good health insurance, paid time off, etc....is INSURANCE against accidental damage to embryos.
  12. There are some children who just make life difficult for EVERYONE in the family ... no matter what proactive steps are taken. At least she's not a serial killer. Yet.
  13. SO TIRED. So tired of DuBrow His cosmetic surgery has finally calmed down. He's NOT funny. AT ALL! Nassif takes everything with such a good nature. Nassif is BETTER LOOKING than DuBrow...any day. Proud of Dr. Nassif for being able to work with that jerk.
  14. I'd bet that both Sunny and Whoopi have reliable security systems and people. Let the thieving attempts begin! I don't think there's an obligation to ACCEPT a prize. In my state with all sales taxes, one might pay $3,500 on a $40,000 car. If that tax is too steep for me, I might have to decline. SURELY, I'd find a way to pay!
