Yesterday, Variety posted an interview with Andrew Garfield about what a year he has had with his acting career. In the article, the Oscar nom says he is taking a break because he says, “I need to just be a bit ordinary for a while.”
Well, lots of outlets assumed that meant that he was going to take a lot of time off, which would be completely understandable. I mean, in the last year, we saw him in Tick Tick Boom, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Under the Banner of Heaven.
Today, when he was on The View, they asked him long his break will be for, and it is not as long as it was assumed. “I’ve been working hard, and I’ve been loving the work I’ve been doing,” he said. “I need to take a month or so. A month of a break, maybe two.”
Garfield earned that time off. But no more than that. We need as much of him on the screen as we can get because he is one of the best actors in his age group.
Joy started off today’s episode of The View with a boom. That is because the 79-year-old missed her chair, and went boom when she fell to the floor.
Being the tough old broad that she is, Behar got up with the help of Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Whoopi Goldberg (who I never saw move so fast), and she continued on with the show as though happened.
Although, she did joke about suing someone. Something Meghan McCain probably would’ve done had it been her who got a closeup view of the floor. Now that would have been a Hot Topic if it happened to her.
Today on The View, the ladies were talking about should you keep your shoes on when you are a guest, and the host asks you to remove them.
Then Joy Behar not only told us about how beautiful her feet are, but she also showed them to us. Not to be outshined, Sarah Haines and Sonny Hostin also showed off their tootsies.
So while the three women were arguing over who has the prettiest toes, Whoopi Goldberg called for a commercial break.
Who knew their feet were as polarizing a topic as politics for them, but it is.
Who do you think has the prettiest feet? I vote for Sonny.
On Monday, the women of The View were talking about schools banning the book Maus, which is about the Holocaust. They then talked about all of the bannings that are going on throughout the country. This led to Whoopi Goldberg saying that the Holocaust is not about race “because it was two white groups of people.”
Well, needless to say, that comment did not go over well with people outside of the show. Rightfully, there was a lot of outrage over comments. So she issued her “sincerest apology” on social media that night. “On today’s show, I said the Holocaust’ is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man.’ I should have said it is about both. As Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League shared, ‘The Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people – who they deemed to be an inferior race,'” she wrote, “I stand corrected.
The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waiver. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused.”
Yesterday on the show, she apologized again. However, it was not enough for Kim Godwin, President, ABC News. “Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,” she said in a statement. “While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments. The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”
While I agree with Godwin, I don’t think it is enough. I say that because Goldberg has had a lot of time off for health issues over the last few years. Therefore, it will feel the same as that, instead of like she is being punished. I don’t know what more Godwin can do, but Goldberg should be punished harsher for her comments.
Now that I think about it, she does have a Jewish last name, so let her learn what it truly means to be Jewish. There are plenty of yeshivas in NYC. Send her to one of them to get a lesson to learn all about the struggles Jews have gone through over the millenniums. Just because most of our skin is white doesn’t mean that all white people consider us white. We are a religion and a race.
Now, back to The View. They need a new co-host. This week, it was apparent they need a Jewish person on the panel because not one of those ladies came down on her like they would go off on Meghan McCain or Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I am not defending those two, far from it, but they did get awfully quiet as she was talking. The only people who tried to silence her were the people in the control room who knew they had to go to commercial break ASAP.
I hope that Golberg takes the time to reflect on her comments during her two weeks off.
The ladies of The View had a sh!tty Christmas break, to put it mildly. The show starts off with them in boxes and Whoopi Goldberg nowhere to be seen. That is because she is home with COVID-19, and the other ladies are just home because of how quickly this variant is spreading.
When it comes to Goldberg, she just has minor symptoms because she boostered. She is not the only one to catch it during the break. Sarah Haines’ husband, Max, tested positive when they returned home from Miami to see her family.
Florida is where Ana Navarro’s dad was when he tested positive. But that was not the only awful thing to happen to her family in December. She lost her mother on December 14th. Thankfully, her father is negative and was able to spend New Year’s Day with his daughter.
Finally, Sunny Hostin tested positive for coronavirus right before Christmas. However, it was much worse for her because both her mother-in-law and her father-in-law passed away over the last two weeks.
I am so sad listening to that; I need a bottle of wine.
Hopefully, they will all be OK. My heart goes out to the women who lost their loved ones. Losing a parent is one of the worst pains you can ever go through.
