The View

Meghan McCain says Jennifer Lopez is getting bad-mouthed and dog-piled these days -- which is odd ... 'cause she just threw some extra shade herself with an ugly anecdote.

The ex-talk show host didn't have very nice things to say about J Lo on her most recent podcast episode -- recounting a time when Jen was on "The View," and claiming she was "deeply unpleasant" ... and, allegedly, not a very nice person -- at least according to MMC.

Take a listen ... Meg doesn't specify what year this all happened, but says that during a time when Jen was a guest on the show, she just wasn't all that sweet -- and didn't fake it either.

"The View" hosts couldn't contain their excitement a day after Donald Trump was convicted -- especially Whoopi Goldberg ... who took her sweet time to rub it in on the air.

The actress-comedian -- who apparently hasn't used Trump's name on the show in years -- riled up the crowd at the end of the show ... when she repeated "guilty" 34 times in reference to all of DJT's convictions, for 34 seconds no less.

Watch ... WG promises fans a quick recap of the trial, before firing off the word "guilty" repeatedly. She's even forced to yell over the crowd ... 'cause they break out in applause.

Jill Biden is promising some semblance of decorum for the first 2024 Presidential debate ... teasing how the moderators will put a stop to any rambling with the hit of a switch.

The First Lady stopped by "The View" Wednesday morning, where FLOTUS promised the audience -- and a concerned Sara Haines -- that Pres. Joe Biden and Donald Trump's mics will be turned off during the forthcoming debate to prevent the candidates from talking over one another.

She says this was a key point in the debate agreement, as she noted ... "They've built that in where they're gonna turn off those mics so that somebody can't ramble, or scream at somebody. Not that my husband would be the one doing that."

Whoopi Goldberg is coming to Harrison Butker's defense following his controversial college address -- but she's not so much agreeing with what he said ... more so his right to say it.

The TV star came out swinging on Thursday's episode of "The View" ... saying the Chiefs star was technically right to speak his mind during his speech this past weekend, especially since he's a devout Catholic addressing a Catholic college.

WG says that while she doesn't agree with Butker -- noting that the women at the commencement didn't have to either -- she still feels like he was within his right to speak his views.

Joy Behar said the quiet part out loud while defending Kelly Clarkson hopping on weight loss drugs ... saying nobody wants to be heavier than they need to be, period.

The topic of Kelly copping to the fact she's on medication that helped drop major poundage got brought up on Wednesday's episode of "The View" ... and Whoopi Goldberg was pointing out that Kelly can't win here, getting criticized no matter what she does or says.

The group of hosts debated over whether Kelly should've been more forthcoming early on in her dramatic weight loss -- and eventually, Joy just came out and dropped a truth bomb.

Whoopi Goldberg says "The View" ain't what it used to be -- explaining audiences are ready to jump on hosts for any little comment they make ... regardless of intention.

The EGOT winner -- who joined the show way back in 2007 -- opened up about hosting during a sit-down with Chris Wallace on his interview show ... and, he asked her if she liked moderating the program.

Goldberg says she liked "The View" more before 'cause audiences cut the hosts slack and didn't immediately jump to the conclusion they wanted to make nasty, horrible comments.

Whoopi Goldberg dice que fue adicta a la cocaína al principio de su carrera y se puso tan mal, que al parecer comenzó a alucinar... finalmente esto la llevó a dejarlo.

La actriz y presentadora de televisión es muy sincera en su nuevo libro de memorias, "Bits and Pieces", acerca de cómo hizo su paso por las drogas desde una edad temprana, en los años 70, para luego sumergirse de nuevo en ella en los años 80 cuando estaba empezando a despegar en Hollywood.

Whoopi dice que la coca era su mayor vicio, y estaba literalmente por todas partes... abundaba en las fiestas y reuniones en Nueva York y Los Ángeles.

Whoopi Goldberg says she was addicted to cocaine early on in her career -- and it got so bad, apparently, that she started to hallucinate ... eventually forcing an a-ha moment.

The actress/TV host gets very candid in her new memoir, 'Bits and Pieces,' about how she was doing drugs from an early age -- only to get clean in the '70s ... and then dive back into it again in the '80s as she was starting to hit the Hollywood scene.

Whoopi says coke was her biggest vice ... as she explains it was quite literally everywhere, and being dispersed with such ease at parties and get-togethers between NY and L.A.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is scratching her head over Sunny Hostin's decision to blast her on national TV -- especially since they were friendly in the past ... an about-face, it seems.

Gypsy tells TMZ ... she finds Sunny's harsh criticism about her on Friday's episode of "The View" -- where SH continuously said Gypsy had "murdered" her mom and questioned how any man could fall in love with her -- surprising ... 'cause she says Sunny was nice when they met.

She adds ... "Her comments are weird because she was so nice to me on 'The View.' She was so understanding and sweet and wished me nothing but the best. Everyone was so supportive. I wonder why she turned on me." Gypsy was on "The View" back in January.

Sunny Hostin seems to be showing some solidarity with pro-Palestinian student protesters across the country -- or at the very least, a nod to their right to express themselves.

We caught up with "The View" cohost Thursday in NYC ... and, we asked her about the pro-Palestine demonstrations sweeping college campuses across the nation right now -- and Sunny says she thinks calling them "pro-Palestine" is the wrong way to label them.

While they are supporting Palestine against Israel, Sunny says she considers these folks anti-war protesters, saying it's a long tradition among students in the U.S. dating back years.

Sunny Hostin thinks Donald Trump's antics in court could cost him during the general election later this year -- because she seems to think folks will remember him as Gassy Don.

"The View" cohost launched into a diatribe on the hit talk show Wednesday ... sharing her thoughts on 45's criminal trial and candidacy, beginning by expressing her shock at how DT's caught up to President Joe Biden in the polls.

Check out the clip ... SH says she thinks the ex-Prez is slowly starting to lose it -- mentioning how he violated a gag order, leading to a $9k fine, before mentioning his alleged flatulence.

Joy Behar says the original "Jolene" is a song that's actually bad for women -- something Reba McEntire thinks is pretty hilarious ... this on the heels of Beyoncé's cover.

We got the country legend Thursday in L.A., and Reba actually talked about Bey's foray into the genre with her new album "Cowboy Carter"' -- on the topic of Beyoncé diving into country, RME says she's all for it.

Reba tells us Beyoncé is a welcome addition to the lineup, and says everyone in the game is happy to have her. You can tell Reba's a fan ... which is huge, 'cause Reba's an icon.

Joe Rogan hizo pedazos a "The View" luego de que su último invitado contara lo que él cree que fue una mala experiencia en el programa, y tuvo algunas palabras para las damas.

El comediante y podcaster recibió a Coleman Hughes en 'JRE' el miércoles y ambos recapitularon su aparición en "The View" la semana pasada, en la que Coleman se metió en una discusión con Sunny Hostin sobre el tema de la raza y cómo esta no debería influir en el tratamiento legal o social que recibe una persona (color blindness).

Coleman Hughes, que tiene un libro que sostiene que la sociedad necesita centrarse menos en la raza y más en la clase y el estatus socioeconómico, dice que cree que Sunny lo atacó injustamente.

Joe Rogan crapped on "The View" after his latest guest came on and recounted what he felt was a bad experience on the show -- and he had some choice words for the ladies there.

The comedian/podcaster hosted Coleman Hughes on 'JRE' Wednesday, and they were recapping his appearance on "The View" from last week ... in which Coleman got into a testy exchange with Sunny Hostin over the topic of race and color blindness.

CH -- who has a book that argues that society needs to focus less on race and more so on class and socioeconomic status -- says he believes Sunny unfairly attacked him.

Whoopi Goldberg knows a thing or two about being nominated for Oscars -- which is why her saying Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were not snubbed this year is ... fascinating.

Despite all the pearl-clutching going on among "Barbie" fans after the lead star and director missed out on Oscar nods earlier this week, Whoopi kept it realer than real on "The View" Wednesday as the crew was discussing it ... saying flatly, they weren't entitled to anything.

WG said the obvious to kick off her thoughts, noting that "everybody doesn't win" when it comes to the Academy Awards, and more importantly ... not everyone can be nominated.

Whoopi then put it even more matter-of-factly, adding ... "You don't get everything you want to get. There are no snubs. That's what you have to keep in mind: Not everybody gets a prize, and it is subjective. Movies are subjective."

She then explained that just because "Barbie" was a fan-fave and moneymaker doesn't necessarily mean it was a shoo-in in and of itself, saying ... "The movies you love may not be loved by the people who are voting." Worth noting ... Whoopi's an Academy member.

Remember ... Whoopi's won an Oscar herself, and she's been nominated for a second too -- so she's been through the wringer before. Considering the wave of outrage on behalf of Margot and Greta ... it's interesting that she's taking a somewhat controversial stand here.

Whoopi Goldberg sabe algunas cosas sobre ser nominada a un Oscar, por lo que escucharla decir que Margot Robbie y Greta Gerwig no fueron 'despreciadas' este año es fascinante.

A pesar de la sorpresa e indignación de los fans luego de que la estrella principal de "Barbie" y su directora no fueran nominadas a los Oscar a principios de esta semana, Whoopi decidió ser más que realista en "The View" el miércoles, mientras el equipo discutía el tema, diciendo rotundamente que no tienen derecho a nada.

Para empezar, Whoopi dijo lo obvio, señalando que "no todos ganan" cuando se trata de los Premios de la Academia y lo más importante, no todos puede ser nominados.

Whoopi lo expresó de forma aún más práctica, añadiendo: "No consigues todo lo que quieres. No hay desaires. Eso es lo que hay que tener en cuenta: No todo el mundo recibe un premio y es subjetivo. Las películas son subjetivas".

A continuación, explicó que solo porque "Barbie" haya sido un éxito de taquilla y de los fans no significa necesariamente que fuera una película ganadora en sí misma, diciendo: "Las películas que te gustan pueden no gustar a la gente que vota". Vale la pena señalar que Whoopi es miembro de la Academia.

Recuerden, Whoopi ha ganado un Oscar, y ha sido nominada para otro, así que ha pasado por esta situación. Teniendo en cuenta la ola de indignación en nombre de Margot y Greta, es interesante que esté tomando una posición un tanto controvertida aquí.
