'The View' Hosts Briefly Exit Set After Bill O'Reilly's Anti-Park51 Remarks
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 14) -- C'mon, Whoopi and Joy, is that any way to treat a guest? Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, two hosts on ABC's "The View," briefly excused themselves from the set today during a heated argument with Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly over the Park51 Muslim community center and mosque. During the argument, O'Reilly claimed that the planned Park51 is "inappropriate" because "a lot of the 9/11 families, who I know, say, 'Look, we don't want that, that shouldn't be there.' " (Have they seen the design sketches?) Luckily, one remark made by Goldberg during the incident is muted -- you'll ...
Should President Obama Appear on 'The View'? PD Writers Weigh In
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyToday's question: President Barack Obama sitting down for an interview with the ladies of "The View" -- smart, or not? Where a president goes to speak -- each venue, each city -- is part of the overall effort in every White House to get the commander in chief's message out. ABC's "The View" snared Obama, a coup for the network for sure, but what's in it for the administration? The Politics Daily crew weighs in, each with a distinctive take. Obama taped the show Wednesday while in Manhattan for two fundraisers, and the program will air on Thursday. The set of the "The View" is familiar to ...
Obamas' Glitzy State Dinner Honors Mexico President Calderón (No Crashers!)
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyThere were no crashers at the glamorous state dinner that President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, hosted for President Felipe Calderón of Mexico and his wife, Margarita Zavala, on Wednesday night. Beyoncé sang and after a day focused on contentious immigration issues, the presidents toasted the close cross-border relationship. "Tonight we share the bonds we share as neighbors and as friends," Obama said. "We celebrate all that Mexican-Americans contribute to the United States." The dinner, the coming out for the new social secretary, Julianna Smoot, included 200 guests feasting on a ...
Phil Jackson Is Going to Scare Hipsters Away From the New T-Mobile Android
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsGoogle and T-Mobile have a lot of work to do in terms of PR if they want to catch up with RIM and Apple for a share of the smart phone market. The BlackBerry -- in all its forms -- and the iPhone are, clearly, head and shoulders above anyone else. Which is why T-Mobile busted out the big dogs for their newest myTouch Android commercial.And yes, by "big dogs" I mean "a rather terrifyingly unhip group that features Whoopi Goldberg, Phil Jackson and Jesse James." Look, they're big names, but when a 60-something NBA coach is the most relevant celeb in your commercial, well, you've probably got a ...
Whoopi Opens Can of Whoopass on O'Reilly
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyBill O'Reilly tries to put Whoopi in the corner. Nobody puts Whoopi in the corner. From Daily Beast:sssWhile I applaud Whoopi's use of profanity and attempt at calling the Billdo out, I've got to give her a failing grade on the substance. First, she lets O'Reilly reframe the "tough ride" for Obama as coming from talk radio. Total horsecarp. Every bogus smear that dominated the headlines during the campaign started on Fox News, and graduated to the mainstream via ABC News. Then, she shows off her centrist bona fides by saying she owns guns and believes in abortion. I know it was an off-the-cuff ...

Baba, Whoopi! I Didn't Need to Hear That...
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyAnd I didn't, but I did read about it. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had a guest appearance on ABC's "The View" today. The ladies of the panel were quite enamored with the Speaker's husband Paul who was sitting in the audience and the Speaker herself. They were quite vocal about it - a little too vocal, I'm afraid. Thankfully I missed it, but Mary Ann Akers from The Washington Post's "The Sleuth" caught it: UPDATE: Here's the video: ...
Video: Whoopi Goldberg Defends Michael Vick
By Dan - AOL NewsI'm sure you have all heard about it by now, but in the off chance you haven't seen it, here is Whoopi Goldberg defending Falcons quarterback Michael Vick during her debut on "The View." Prior to this clip, Goldberg also said "it's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico."What a way to make an entrance, Whoopi! Although most media outlets came down hard on her, you have to believe producers of "The View" loved this. It got national attention and even found airtime on ESPN's Sportscenter this morning.However, Goldberg did change her tune a yesterday, claiming that she does not condone what Vick did, ...
