Barbara Walters tells Whoopi Goldberg to ’stop glamorizing illegal drugs’

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 10:54 AM PDT

This story is in the National Enquirer, so it could be made up but it does have a ring of truth to it. According to the Enquirer, Barbara Walters is upset at Whoopi Goldberg for admitting she was baked when she accepted her Academy Award in 1991 for Ghost. Babs told Whoopi not to talk about drug use on air, since she could potentially make it sound like illegal drugs were cool, etc. The way The National Enquirer words it makes it sound like Whoopi admitted on The View that she was stoned at Oscars. However I can’t confirm that at all and only found this video from 1992 that TMZ recently posted where Whoopi owned up to it. I vaguely remember Whoopi talking about pot use on The View, and the last time I could verify that she discussed it was in October of last year, when she never admitted it outright but advocated legalization. (Link leads to the same video that we have below.) At that point Barbara sounded cautious but supportive of legalizing pot, but I could also see her telling Whoopi to knock it off after getting some angry letters from viewers when Whoopi’s admission surfaced. There was also that incident in July where Whoopi seemed baked out of her mind on The View and had admitted to just getting off a flight.

Barbara Walters and her “View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg are locked in a “smokin’” feud - over Whoopi’s pot use!

After Whoopi admitted she was high at the 1991 Academy Awards show, irate “View”-ers deluged Barbara with e-mails, letters and phone calls, and she asked Whoopi to tone down her tlak about dope smoking, a source revealed.

“According to Barbara, viewers were angry because Whoopi was basically saying smoking pot is OK, while they’re trying to convince their kids that it’s not,” a source on “The View” set told The Enquirer.

“Barbara has said that Whoopi is acting like an advocate to legalize marijuana, and she doesn’t like it. She’s told her in no uncertain terms to stop glamorizing the use of illegal drugs on the air,” the source added….

“That’s the type of admission that’s caused problems on ‘The View.’ Many of the women in the show’s target audience are mothers who are pretty conservative when it comes to drugs.

“Barbara has reiterated to Whoopi that they’re on ‘The View’ to entertain and inform, not to offend.

“Whoopi doesn’t appreciate having to censor herself, but she told Barbara that she’d make an effort to tone it down.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 19, 2011]

I’m surprised anyone can work for Barbara Walters for an extended period of time. She seemed like such a nasty shrew on her book tour and in the few episodes of The View that I’ve watched with Barbara it’s like she’s lecturing everyone on the panel and brings a chill over the room. I like Whoopi and am glad she found a home on daytime talk TV. It’s not like I’m going to watch that show because of her or Joy, though. I have better things to do and I’d rather avoid having to listen to Elisabeth or Barbara at all.

Here are Barbara, Whoopi and the rest of the panel discussing the potential legalization of marijuana in California last October, which of course never happened. Whoopi was saying that weed smokers don’t really leave the house and endanger others like drunk drivers. She joked that she wasn’t speaking “from experience.” I doubt she talks about getting high on the show, and it’s not her fault an old video surfaced online.

Whoopi on air in July. She was “jet lagged” and admitted she took some drugs to sleep on the flight.

Russell Brand is pissed that Katy Perry still drinks, smokes & parties

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 10:54 AM PDT

There have been several completely unshocking reports regarding the state of Katy Perry and Russell Brand's marriage. What shocks me is that Dame Helen Mirren isn't listed as Reason #1 for "Why Russell and Katy Won't Last" but that's a story for another time. In the past, we've heard about Russell's "concerns" that he won't be able to stay faithful to Katy, how they're already in marriage counseling, and how they moved so quickly into married life that they didn't really have the chance to get to know each other. Oh, and something about how they're both really busy too, and how they barely spend any time together. This new report from In Touch Weekly starts at the "they don't spend together" thread and takes it in another direction:

A source close to the couple tells In Touch: "Russell and Katy are just realizing now that they have to put in the work [to keep their marriage together]." Katy has been touring - Russell has been promoting Arthur, and "Katy knows they can't go weeks without seeing each other… it's not healthy. So they're making more of an effort to see each other - Katy has twice flown in to see him in between shows."

However, "The traveling is totally exhausting and it takes the fun out of seeing each other. They're both so stresses out and tired and they hardly have time to be together even when she does fly in."

Ironically, given Russell's wild past, they've also been arguing about Katy's partying while she's on the road. Given her strict background, Katy tends to feel like she has the right to make up for lost time. Meanwhile, Russell lives a "totally clean lifestyle," the source says. "But Katy drinks and smokes when he's not around. It's a sore spot: He knows she has fun when she is able to do the things that she can't so with him."

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Wow, so Katy is still drinking, smoking and partying her ass off. Sidenote to strict, conservative, religious parents: this is what happens when your strictly-raised children grow up - Katy Perry happens. While I think that in general, Katy has every right to do whatever she wants, the fact is that she married a man in recovery, and… well, this is all just stuff they should have dealt with before they even got married.

I recently saw an interview Brand did with Ben Lyons on E!, and Russell kind of broke my heart a little. He was talking about various film roles and scripts he was considering, and he said that he wasn't confirming any projects because of Katy and her schedule. I mean… it just seemed like Russell is already really trying to make the effort for his marriage, and I just want to tell him: It's okay, dude. No one thinks it's going to last. You can admit it, dude.

Scarlett Johansson fancies herself an intellectual, thus Sean Penn

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 10:06 AM PDT

I kind of love that Scarlett Johansson has found herself, post-divorce, the center of an extremely tabloid-friendly affair. Her relationship with Sean Penn is at most two months old, but it's already been analyzed to the hilt by all of the weeklies. I've said it before - I don't think Scarlett is the kind of girl to get all caught up in a man, and I don't think that she's currently a one-man kind of woman, especially given her recent split from Ryan Reynolds. But the tabloids are worrying and fretting over Scarlett's dong choices like Every Dong Is Forever. Can't a girl just get laid?

Anyway, last we heard in Tabloidville, Scarlett's dong haze was slowly lifting as she was continuously being grossed out by reminders of how old Sean is. Scarlett is only a few years older than Sean's daughter - and according to the Enquirer, Sean has been fathering ScarJo a bit too. The latest story comes via In Touch, and they claim that ScarJo is still fully dong hazed, because she fancies herself an intellectual and she thinks Sean is a genius.

Scarlett Johansson is known as one of the most mature, self-assured and desirable young actresses in Hollywood. But since she started dating 50-year-old actor Sean Penn, friends say she's turned into a bundle of insecurity, infatuated with the one man she just might not be able to pin down.

"Everyone knows Sean never gets serious," an insider says. But Scarlett fancies herself an intellectual and likes to associate with older, wiser men like Woody Allen, and she "is head over heels for Sean. He flies into town to take her out to dinner, and it's all she talks about for the next month."

Now she's so obsessed with Penn, she's already talking about getting engaged - even though she and Ryan filed for divorce in December.

"Scarlett says she is unafraid of marriage and unafraid of what people will say," a friend reports.

"We're trying to keep her grounded," the friend says. "But she thinks he's a genius."

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Don't get me wrong, I do think Sean is a smart man, but I also think he's… crazy and kind of gross, sanctimonious, pretentious and annoying. The idea that Scarlett is so desperate for her intelligence to be validated… well, I can see that. But if ScarJo really does "fancy" herself an intellectual and she thinks that Sean wouldn't be boning her if he didn't think she was smart, then I have some bad news for her. Sean loves your body. He loves your youth. He loves how pretty you are, and yes, even geniuses can be petty, superficial bastards. That's your intellectual lesson for the day.

Nikki Reed of Twilight is dating American Idol contestant Paul McDonald

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 07:52 AM PDT

I guess we can’t accuse Twilight’s Nikki Reed of pulling the same famewhore stunts as her co-stars and hooking up with the most high profile guys she can find. Nikki is dating American Idol’s Paul McDonald, the guy who looks like a blonde Chris Kattan and who I could have sworn batted for the other team. But these two supposedly locked eyes on a red carpet last month and have been going strong ever since. There’s even video of the two of them meeting for the first time. (It’s at :52 into that linked video.)

The Idol cameras were rolling as Nikki, in a strapless dress and flowing hair, gushes to Paul, “You’re amazing. I’m blushing, I should go.” Paul then says, “Wow, thank you” and the two awkwardly hug goodbye.

As soon as Reid is out of ear shot, Paul turns to the camera crew and asks, “Was she a famous actress or something? I’d hang out with her!”

And it turns out, the two have been “hanging out” since then. No word on who got whose digits, but these two are totally into each other!

So while Reed has been busy off filming Breaking Dawn and McDonald is obviously preoccupied trying to win American Idol, the two have been keeping in close contact via Skype.

[From E! Online]

That’s cute! We’ll have to see how far McDonald gets in Idol. I’ve been following it sporadically, but I haven’t seen it in about a week. The show lasts too long and doesn’t have enough drama to keep my interest. They drag out the results forever. I guess this week’s elimination was a real upset (spoilers for past shows obviously) and everyone is shocked about it. I probably won’t watch the show again until the final week though. I can see this guy making it that far, especially if he stages a few well photographed dates with Nikki Reed. That will raise his profile.
