More Matter

I am not an expert on Whoopi, but can someone add more content to the official page. There is very little text about her accomplishments--only a large review. Clearly she should be more than just catalogued. Thanks.

Halle Berry?

Didn't Halle Berry win an Oscar for Monster's Ball? If so, then the Academy Award language needs to be updated.

Maxim Magazine Experts On Comedy?

Since when did the people on Maxim magazine and its readers become a viable source on comedy commentary? Its like Hustler or Playboy or Sports Illustrated writers and readers being experts on comedy.

Jewish?

Where does the article cite that Whoopi is Jewish? I don't think she is. -- kosboot (talk) 23:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously she is not jew.

Is Whoopi married to the guy from Cheers? You know, the one who did black face?

Right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.183.34.45 (talk) 01:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, Ted Danson is married to Mary Steenburgen. Danson and Goldberg didn't last long; they broke up about 20 years ago. Nightscream (talk) 07:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if I missed it she was also voice of GAIA on Captain Planet

Sesame Street

Whoopi Goldberg allegedly talked to Elmo about skin textures and colors in Sesame street :) See List of guest stars on Sesame Street for more info :) // Ge6m09 - troubled waters 12:05, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Buddies?

Woopi was in snow buddies doing a voice over of Miss Mittens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathanpage19 (talk • contribs) 15:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoopi Validation

For a couple years now, I've wished for some opportunity to express my admiration for Whoopi Goldburg. Although she & I probably share few (if any) political or religious views; this lady's approach to life could be reflected as an Iconic example for people of the world. Over the years of her career, I've watched her character and integrity grow from wisdom. Although Whoopi may not appear to be the epitome of feminism at first glance; her grace and inner beauty supercede the meaning of 'LADY' She brings an air of diplomatic authority to the whole cast of The View, sprinkled with wit & humor. From an old red-neck white lady who admires class. :o) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.172.43.139 (talk) 23:36, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moon landing

I believe it was on The View in July where Whoopi said that she enjoys questioning whether the landing happened. She did state that she never said that she did not believe that the moon landing was a hoax. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.184.135 (talk) 19:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek

Did Whoopi Goldberg have a falling out with Paramount? She didn't have a part in the last couple Star Trek movies. Does anyone know if she might do more in the future?
