Oscar Snub Leaves Whoopi Sad
Whoopi Goldberg seemed sad and choked up on "The View" Monday when her fellow co-hosts discussed how she was not included in a montage featuring Oscar hosts during the Academy Awards telecast. The 52-year-old Goldberg has received two Oscar nominations, winning for her role as Oda Mae Brown in 1990's "Ghost." She hosted the event in 1994, 1996, 1999 and 2002. She did, however, appear as an Oscar winner in a separate montage Sunday night. Goldberg appeared stumped that the academy would leave her out

Doing 'The View' with my sisters!
Just yesterday, Kourtney, Khloe and I did The View! I recently appeared on the infamously opinionated talk show with Bruce, you may recall. But this time it was especially fun to appear with my sisters! Barbara Walters is the sweetest person ever! She was friends with my dad and I really think she is such a smart woman! Elizabeth Hasselbeck is sweet as pie and tiny! She just had another baby, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her! I met View host Sherri Shepherd for the first time. She is

Oscars to Whoopi: We're Sorry
Whoopi Goldberg's omission from an Oscar montage – perceived by her and others to be a slight that left the View host in tears – was "an absolute oversight," the award show's producer tells PEOPLE. "No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Gil Cates said Tuesday. "I'm going to call her and tell her that." Although described as a montage of hosts, the piece shown at Sunday night's telecast on ABC was actually "supposed to be a montage of 80 exciting moments of the

'Wouldn't you love to be in that bed' ... Carla Bruni's taunt to Sarkozy's woman minister
French First Lady Carla Bruni taunted the country’s most senior woman politician about her failure to seduce the President, an explosive new book reveals. The former supermodel pointed at a double bed in the Elysee Palace before turning to Justice Minister Rachida Dati, who is single, and snarling: 'You'd have loved to occupy it, wouldn't you?' The jibe by Bruni, 40, who is also a pop star, is contained in 'Carla and Nicholas - The True Story', which recounts every detail of her 80-day romance with

Sherri Shepherd: "I Had More Abortions Than I Would Like to Count"
In the new issue of black Christian women's magazine Precious Times, The View's Sherri Shepherd reveals that her life was once so rough she didn't care if she died. "My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses," Shepherd, 41, says. At the time, the stand-up comic — then a Jehovah's Witness – was "in a very physically abusive relationship," she said. "I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count." She said her self-

France's Carla adores Sarkozy for his "six brains"
In a book to be published this week, France's first lady speaks out about falling head over heels in love with President Nicolas Sarkozy, not only for his "physique," but also for his "five or six brains." Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has maintained a relatively low profile since her whirlwind romance with Sarkozy culminated in marriage in February, but she finally lifts the curtain on their relationship in "Carla and Nicolas, the real story." "It all happened suddenly. I wasn't expecting someone so funny, so

ABC News conjures J.K. Rowling documentary
Following the success of last month's "20/20" installment on the Royal family, ABC News in the U.S. is working on a behind-the-scenes look at the life of "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling. The in-depth profile, which will air in November, includes several interviews, the book tour for the final "Harry Potter" installment, and a tour of locations that inspired her characters.

Nude Bruni photo sells for $91,000 in NY auction
A nude photo of French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, standing in a pigeon-toed pose and covering her modesty with her hands, was sold on Thursday in New York for $91,000, more than 20 times its expected price. A buyer for a Chinese art collector bought the black-and-white image, taken by photographer Michel Comte in 1993 during her modeling days, Christie's auction house said. The sale of the photo has attracted attention since Bruni married French President Nicolas Sarkozy in February. The photo

Cleese and Schiff talk politics
An anti-Bush tirade from Whoopi Goldberg laced with profanity might have hurt John Kerry's presidential candidacy four years ago. More recently, George Clooney said he'll support Barack Obama any way he can, even if it means keeping his distance. These are just a few examples that have left politically minded celebrities conflicted about their role in choosing the next U.S. president, and it was recently up to an unlikely pair of actors to sort it all out: comedian John Cleese and Richard Schiff of "The

The supermodel who wowed a president
Presidents get married to respectable women, have children and lead a low-key, non-controversial life. Or so we thought until Super Sarko aka Nicolas Sarkozy aka the French president burst on the scene. He divorced his second wife while in office, hooked up with Italian-French supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni couple of months later, and is now scandalising nations by travelling with her on official tours. But while Saudi Arabia firmly asked President Sarkozy, 52, not to bring his girlfriend along on

France's first lady compares self to Jackie Kennedy
Just months after his May 2007 election, French president Nicolas Sarkozy faced growing criticism over his stalled reforms, flashy style, and stormy divorce. The last straw should have been his whirlwind remarriage, to an Italian heiress, ex-model, and singer who had past liaisons with Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, among others, and nude photos all over the Internet. But the lady in question, Carla Bruni, is proving an unexpected asset. At the Elysee Palace, Maureen Orth encounters a pair of romantic predat

The International Best-Dressed List

Also on the list - Ivanka Trump, Kate Middleton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tilda Swinton, David Beckham, Kanye West and Karl Lagerfeld.
