Whoopi Golberg said there was a “huge announcement” coming on The View this morning.
And this is what it was: Miss America 2010 Caressa Cameron announced the star judges for this year’s pageant and they include Joy Behar. Joy was presented with her own sparkly crown.
“My daughter said, ‘You call yourself a feminist? Judging the Miss America contest?” But then she and The Viewsters discussed that it’s not a beauty contest, it’s about scholarship and “being healthy,” as Cameron said.
Among the other judges: Desperate Housewives’ creator Marc Cherry, DWTS pro Tony Dovolani, actress Marylou Henner and designer Taryn Rose. (No Rush Limbaugh this year.)
“I will be looking for the one girl who has cellulite,” said Joy. “I’m just warning you.”
The show will air live from Las Vegas on Jan. 15 on ABC.
Fireworks erupted on the set of ‘The View’ today when hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Beharleft the set during an interview with Bill O’Reilly while discussing the proposed “Ground Zero mosque.”
“The mosque down here on 9/11. That’s inappropriate,” O’Reilly said of the planned Islamic community center being built near the site of the former World Trade Center.
“Sure, they have a right to do it,” he continued. “But it’s inappropriate because a lot of the 9/11 families who I know, say, ‘Look, we don’t want that.’”
When Joy, Whoopi and the other ladies expressed their opposition to ‘The O’Reilly Factor’ star’s opinion, he attempted to shut them down.
“Listen to me because you’ll learn,” he exclaimed. He added that he believes President Obama’s numbers are falling because of his unwillingness to comment on “the wisdom of” building the community center.
“You’re saying that Americans are not smart enough to recognize that while it is part of our Constitution to say freedom of religion and freedom to worship and there were 70 families who are Muslim who also died in that building. So you’re saying that his saying that they have the right to do it and not saying anymore is why his approval ratings have gone down?” Goldberg questioned.
The heated discussion went back and forth, but the huge blow came after O’Reilly said “Muslims killed us on 9/11,” causing Goldberg and Joy to walk off the set enraged.
Inez Sainzs claims that she was sexually harassed for being too sexy for the New York Jets. According to reports by certain media outlets, she was totally asking for it. You would think that no matter how a woman dresses, she’s never “asking for it”, but that’s my opinion.
In a new interview with Joy Behar, Ines is questioned as to whether or not she did anything to provoke the harassment from the Jets. While I have to wonder if she used her sexuality to get the job in the first place, it’s still no cause for anyone thinking that she really wanted this to happen.
Joy Behar put the question pretty directly in an interview last night, and Sainz responded, “I don’t believe that my dress is the point of the discussion.” She added that she’d done “nothing to provoke” the Jets’ catcalls and other inappropriate behavior. So why is a woman obligated to prove she didn’t “provoke” her own harassment?
Wow. What era are we living in here? That’s just a shame.
Sure, she’s got the looks, but that’s probably how she got the job. She couldn’t have helped the fact that these men found her attractive. She definitely couldn’t have helped their rude remarks and unwanted advances.

Check out Sherri Shepherd showing off her swimsuit body on The View yesterday.
Sheri “strutted her stuff” on stage to I’m Every Woman and then said “I feel really great. I just wanted to show people that you don’t have to do anything crazy. You just have to make some choices and exercise and the weight will drop off. I hope some folks were inspired.”
Sherri made a promise to diet and work out back in May, she has since lost 5 inches from her waist and 10 inches overall. Some of her menu consisted of grilled chicken, salad and water.
On the exercising she said “I do a lot of stairs, a lot of planks, a lot of squats, a lot of treadmill, a lot of screaming — and I do it four times a week.”
The one part of her body that she will never change? Her boobs, that’s what I like to hear a woman say – “I love my boobs!”.
When asked if she would have a breast reduction she said “What?! No! I would never ever, ever, ever, I don’t care how old they get and how long they get, I’m going to love my boobs. I’d never get rid of them.”
