“It’s hard to not take it personally. It’s very hard not to take it personally. You know, there’s a lot of stuff that people say and do but this is sloppy journalism because this is not a hidden thing. Everybody kind of knows. People in Somalia know, people in China know, because I, I know it’s hard to believe, because I am a world-wide person whose known. Because there wasn’t anyone like me and it was 70 years between Hattie McDaniel, the first black woman to win, and me. So this omission, I don’t know what to say, there’s nothing I can say except you’re sloppy in your work and you’re supposed to be better than this. This is the New York Times. It’s not some bozo paper from Hoochie-Coochie Land.” - Whoopi Goldberg, Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress in the blockbuster film Ghost.

Whoopi Goldberg, WH Crasher "Heated Exchange" Backstage after Taping Show

…White House gatecrasher Michaele Salahi’s visit to the ABC daytime talk show “The View” ended in a backstage shouting match with co-host Whoopi Goldberg. 


Salahi went to the show Wednesday to promote her appearance on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of D.C.,” which premieres Thursday. Goldberg touched Salahi’s back during an interview to get her attention and urge her to talk about the night she and her husband crashed President Obama’s state dinner last fall. 

“The View” spokesman Karl Nilsson says after the show Goldberg and Salahi got into a “heated exchange” when Goldberg learned Salahi had accused the host of hitting her. 

“We’re a different kind of society. We see things differently. The world sees 13 year olds and 14 year olds in the rest of Europe… not everybody agrees with the way we see things. […] Would I want my 14 year old having sex with somebody? Not necessarily…”
