Whoopi Vs. Ann Smackdown on The View

I was wathing The View the other day and came across some juicy television. 

Ann Coulter who typically gets on my nerves but is so right of center I usually do not pay her much attention. 

Ms. Thing was on the view hawking her new book which I will not give her any free publicity here in this forum. 

Anyway the discussion quickly turned to issues of race and whatever Ms. Ann was trying to peddle, well Whoopi was not having it on her show. 

Whoopi finally asked Coulter, " 'Tell me what you know about being black.'

Coulter countered with, "I don't think liberals ever cared about black people."

Ms. Thing went on about some other stuff that was clearly not sitting well with Whoppi when she finally exploded with, 'B*******! B*******, I'm sorry! That's bull, that's bull.'

I thought at one point Whoppi  was going to start snatching off her ear rings, glasses, she already wears sneakers and jump  across the table and give Ann an old school beat down! 

Just watch the video and the madness!

Martha Stewart Caught Peeing with Door Open

Mover over Mommy Dearest there is another angry daughter book coming your way.  Alexis Stewart has made a career of dogging her famous mother.  She is releasing a tell all book soon.  She will reveal very bizarre rituals she witnessed as a child. 

This is an excerpt according to Alexis:

[She] always peed with the door open. I remember saying, 'You know, now I have friends over! You can't do that anymore! It's gotta stop! My friends' parents don't do it! Give me a break here! I don't feel like being embarrassed!

I am getting a visual and I think I just threw up a little in my mouth...lol.

CNN Anchor Comes Out

Just when you thought it was getting too crowded in the closet, a CNN anchor comes out as gay.  In a new book, "Transparent," Lemon talks about his life and his sexuality, and he revealed that he is gay in an interview with the New York Times.

Lemon becomes part of a small club of openly gay anchors. This is really a bold move on his part.

In the interview, Lemon said that he has never hidden his sexuality from his co-workers at CNN, but decided to take a more public step after he felt that he could not write an inspirational book without being open about who he is.

Truth be told he was never really hiding it from us either....how you doing Lemon.....smile!

Lemon also said that he was "scared," because he was talking about things that "people might shun me for." He said that he was particularly concerned about what the reaction in the black community would be.

You think?  It is sad that still in the African-American community an educated, successful and prominent media figure would still fear being ostracized.  We obviously still have work to do.  What does this say for just normal folks who are not as prominent as Lemon? 

If an established journalist is scared then what becomes of say a youth struggling with their identity and sexuality?

I have seen Lemon on CNN and I am glad he is out of the closet but it was pretty obvious to me that he was gay.   Anyway score one for the team.....smile!

RZA Turned Philospher

The RZA, aka Robert Fitzgerald Diggs from the Wu Tang Clan has now turned philosopher in his new book “The Tau of Wu”.  When did things shift that you no longer needed any formal training or education and basically becoming a rapper was the short cut to any vocation. 

The other ugly part of RZA turned philosopher is the patronizing manner he is being handled with mainstream media. 

I am accustomed to rappers, slash models turned actors but we have to draw the line somewhere.  My best friend has a PhD in Philosophy.  I watched him study, research, write and defend his dissertation which was a long and intense journey.  We have to validate educational and vocational pursuits.

Next it will be rapper turned Proctologist.  Do you really want Lil Wayne behind you sloshing syrup juice on your backside during a prostate exam?  Wait, given the fact that I was recently traumatized by my own big Nordic gay doctor that may not be a bad alternative.  See earlier “Man Exam”post. 

Do I want Flava Flav as my dentist with all that gold in his mouth and that damned clock hitting me in the face?  But I must admit the thought of Lil Kim as a school principal is kind of fierce.  I can see her stomping down the hallways in 6 inch Prada’s and fur yelling “You better get to your homeroom bitches I’m the Queen Bee”.
