That’s it. That’s the whole story. Whoopi Goldberg farted and it made me giggle and I wanted to share it with you guys. I know it’s not much, but sometimes a good ol’ fartin’ video is just what the doctor ordered.

Damn, Whoopi. Are you drunk? High? “Overworked”? Is it even legal to get high and go on The View? Wouldn’t you think Elisabeth Hasselbeck would have a bit to say about that, the strait-laced crazy-monger that she is?

“Still slightly drugged.” SLIGHTLY?

Forget The Client List — this video is feel-good entertainment at its best.

Whoopi Goldberg supposedly made a statement earlier on The View this week saying that she had worked with Mel Gibson, and although all evidence points to the contrary, her experience with him showed no signs of him being a racist. Well, of course the blog world reacted to that statement and said things like, “Why do you think he’d act racist toward a famous black woman?” and “Do you think just because he wasn’t racist toward you that he’s not racist at all?” Then people started calling up the offices at The View and chewing out Whoopi’s secretary, which brought Whoopi to make the above statement on the show yesterday.

I agree that a black woman might know better than me, a totally white woman, when someone is being racist. However, I think that Whoopi’s statement got the reaction that it did because there’s no way you can deny someone’s negative feelings about black people after you’ve heard them tell their girlfriend that she’s going to be “raped by a pack of n***ers.” Call me crazy, but Whoopi’s positive on-set experience with Mel can’t make me unhear those words.

Do you see Whoopi’s point or do you think that it’s as irrelevant as I do?

But I heard she thinks I’m Santa Claus in a really good disguise, so her perception might be a bit, oh, skewed.

Goldberg spoke out in support of Gibson on a recent episode of The View, and claimed that Gibson had spent time in her home, and because of that, she’d know if he was a racially-motivated slimeball:

“I know Mel, and I know he’s not a racist,” Goldberg said. “He may be a bonehead … I can’t sit and say that he’s a racist, having spent time with him in my house with my kids.”

I mean, Whoopi, who is clearly African-American, speaking out on Mel’s behalf says a lot in more than just one way, but Joy Behar (a woman I generally don’t agree with much) claims otherwise. On the same episode, Behar blasted Gibson for his remarks stemming from a 2006 DUI arrest:

“Give me a break, you’re an anti-Semite, you’re a misogynist, and you’re a racist!”

So. Who are you siding with? A black woman who’s spent periods of personal time with the disgraced Patriot actor, or a sometimes-annoying, but outspoken woman that’s regrettably often right more than she’s not?

Should we even be debating this? What’s been said has been said, and there’s no “unsaying” it. I mean, it’s not as if he called people “poopyheads,” or “dumb morons” or something.

Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg verbally flambéed commentator Glenn Beck today on The View.  It’s always interesting to watch a celebrity who is so obviously caught in a lie.  Perhaps what made it so fascinating though was that the dialogue kept co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck silent for six minutes and thirty-five seconds.

I can’t quite make sense of this. She’s still doing well on The View, but Whoopi Goldberg has announced she’ll star in a new sci-fi series … on the Internet.

Two decades after first appearing on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” the Oscar-winning actress is producing and starring in a new sci-fi series called “Stream” that premieres on January 15 on the horror website and video-on-demand network FEARnet.

The series comes just over a year after Goldberg, 53, said she was retiring from acting to concentrate on hosting the daytime chat show “The View,” a gig she took over from Rosie O’Donnell in September 2007.

Goldberg said the idea of performing in a new medium really appealed to her, as did the chance to act in sci-fi and horror — two of her favorite genres.

“I did retire. I hadn’t made a movie in quite a while, and I lost my way with the things I was doing. It became entertainment by rote, and there wasn’t a lot being done that I was interested in doing,” Goldberg told Reuters in a telephone interview.

“But the idea that you can be at work and check out a webisode tickles me because that is the future. … I can reinvent my way of acting so that I challenge myself and see where it takes me for the second half of my life.”

This sounds like some desperate-ass Tara Reid shit that she’s trying to spin, but why would Whoopi need a gig like this?

I have to admit, I absolutely loved Whoopi as Guinan in the Star Trek series, though. Yes, I’m a huge Trekkie dork. But I doubt I’ll be tuning into an Internet horror series. I’d just as soon watch that horror spoof that the cast of Newsies made on-set. (I’m serious.)

Will you watch?
