Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Whoopi Goldberg has not been in view on The View and people have been wondering where she is. One theory is that she is hosting the hostless Oscars on Sunday. Today, Joy Behar revealed on the ABC daytime talk show that that is not the case. The Oscar winner will not be at the Oscars because “she is on maternity leave.”

Wait, what? Did she really have a miracle baby? Nope. After that shocking reveal, Behar came clean. Goldberg is recuperating from pneumonia. Therefore, if she is too sick to host her day job, she is definitely too sick to host Hollywood’s biggest night.

Get well soon.

Before Viggo Mortensen was nominated for his third Oscar, he did not even make it to the opening credits on Miami Vice. You can barely recognize him when he was 30 in that 1987 episode.

On January 29th, we were shocked when we heard that Jussie Smollett was attacked in a possible hate crime involving homophobic and racial slurs. After a few weeks, it looked like his 2 attackers were never going to be found. Then there was a big break on Valentine’s Day. Police announced that were question two African-American men for the crime. Then the next day, there reports that the Empire star hired them to attack him. He denied the rumors.

Today, Chicago PO’s PIO Anthony Gugliemi gave us an update. He wrote, “Case Update: Jussie Smollett is now officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation by #ChicagoPolice for filing a false police report (Class 4 felony). Detectives are currently presenting evidence before a Cook County Grand Jury.” He followed it up 3 hours later with, “Felony criminal charges have been approved by @CookCountySAO against Jussie Smollett for Disorderly Conduct / Filing a False Police Report. Detectives will make contact with his legal team to negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest.” According to WLS, is due in court tomorrow at 1:30p CST.

His lawyers, Todd Pugh and Victor Henderson, released this statement, “Like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this one where information, both true and false, has been repeatedly leaked. Given these circumstances, we intend to conduct a thorough investigation and to mount an aggressive defense.”

It will be interesting to see if he will show up to court. I am sure he will. I think if he does not, then it will say a lot about him and tell police all they need to know.

Although, there were reports that he was expected to possibly film scenes for the second to last episode of this season of Empire tomorrow. It was also said that his role in that episode was already cut down. No word, if it will be eliminated completely now. Earlier today, 20th Century Fox said, “Jussie Smollett continues to be a consummate professional on set and as we have previously stated, he is not being written out of the show.” That was released before the charges were announced. No word since.

Tomorrow will be interesting day in so many ways for him and us.

You know how on most talk shows when a guest brings any animals on, they don’t let the creatures roam around. Pickler and Ben is unlike all the others. Today, Kellie Pickler and Ben Aaron welcomed 2 Asian small-clawed otters on to the show and within seconds Ping and Pong took over the set.

Pickler and Animal expert Grant Kemmerer were holding the squeaky brothers for the introduction and then they decided to put them in the little pool the show set up for them. I guess they were not interested in it because they jumped down and started running all over the set. They went under the couch, over to the camera to get a closeup, back to the pool and anywhere else they wanted to go.

The only place they did not go was into the audience. Which is smart of their part because if they did, I am sure someone would have taken them home. Who wouldn’t? They are so cute, they make me want to trade in my cat for one of them.

Seriously, they are otterly awwwwdorable, I think the 6-month olds should replace Pickler and Ben on the morning show. No offense to the CMT hosts, but I could watch them for hours and hours. Seriously, aren’t you in love with them too? Those faces are just so sweet.

The Oscars are on Sunday, but yesterday Jeopardy wanted to see how much the contestants knew about Hollywood’s biggest night. Together they answered every question on the board. Including what were the two words that Patty Duke said during her acceptance for Miracle Worker.

Do you know what they are? Press play and see how well do. I swept the category, so where is my Academy Award for that?
