Word on The Curb has it that Barbara Walters and producer Bill Geddie, who pioneered the concept of The View as television’s first daytime gabfest uniquely for women in 1997, are trying to develop a “unisex” spinoff of the Emmy-winning program, this show catering to men.
If playing second fiddle to Babs Walters doesn’t quite sound like your idea of a dream job, just wait until you get a peek at what Sherri Shepherd brings home as one-fifth of ABC’s The View.
Shepherd — who’s just getting around to divorcing her adulterous husband Jeff Tarpley — recently had to file an income declaration in her ongoing divorce battle and the documents reveal that daytime’s resident noodle noggin earns $54,767 a month for working only 16 hours a week on the femme gabfest.
Do you think Whoopi Goldberg went too far on The View yesterday?
Whoopi Goldberg will be offering “no apologies” for the backstage Battle Royale that broke out on the set of The View Wednesday after the Sister Act actress allegedly “hit” White House Gatecrasher/reality personality Michaele Salahi.
On ABC’s The View Wednesday, White House Gatecrasher Michaele and host Whoopi Goldberg clashed when the cast of the new Bravo docu-soap The Real Housewives of DC dropped by the morning gabfest, prompting an encounter between Goldberg and Salahi that allegedly ended with Whoopi “violently shaking” the waify fameseeker.
Oh snap! Michaele Salahi — one-half of The White House Party Crashers who flim-flamed their way into The Obamas’ State Dinner last November — is back in the news again. The star of Bravo’s new reality docu-soap, The Real Housewives of DC, has accused Academy Award-winner Whoopi Goldberg of striking her during a promotional appearance on The View Wednesday.
According to a statement from a rep for the Emmy-winning talk show, Michaele and her husband, Tareq, engaged in a dispute with Whoopi following the show’s taping. Different versions of today’s altercation are being released by The View and an attorney for The Salahis —but one thing they both agree on is that it ended with Whoopi and Michaele in the middle of a vicious spat.
