Whoopi Goldberg Leaves The View Roundtable Over Heated Miranda Lambert Selfie Debate
The best comment on selfie-gate came from Whoopi Goldberg.
During a contentious discussion over the Miranda Lambert performance scandal on The View, the Sister Act actress stood up from the panel to snap her selfie with a 91-year-old viewer.
On July 15, Whoopi and her co-hosts Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Gryphon discussed Miranda’s criticism of concertgoers who took pictures of her at her residency performance in Las Vegas. Sunny disagreed with the “Bluebird” singer and said, “[I’m] going to take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757 for tickets.”
Whoopi, though, wasn’t having it.
What do you know? Stay in,” joked the Academy Award victor. If you will spend $750 to attend my concert, please show me some respect by staying home or don’t come at all.
Sunny’s reaction? The 54-year-old said she enjoys taking pictures during concerts so she can look back on the experiences in the future. Then Whoopi stood up and commanded the girl to turn on the television.
I’m leaving you all, Whoopi yelled as she made her way to the front of the studio audience. I want to take a photo with this wonderful 91-year-old woman. Therefore, we will take a selfie.
The best comment on selfie-gate came from Whoopi Goldberg.
Then Whoopi approached the spectator and yelled, “Just me and you. What about pressing that button? We’ll return immediately.
The point is established on The View, although opinions on the matter are divided among Miranda’s supporters.
Miranda told the audience, as shown in a video that has gone viral on social media, “These girls are thinking about their selfies and not listening to the song. I’m getting annoyed with it.
The 39-year-old said, “We’re here to hear some country music tonight,” amid murmurs of concertgoers. I’m singing some country song, for God’s sake.
The best comment on selfie-gate came from Whoopi Goldberg.
Seven people were spotted leaving the venue as the Grammy winner began performing “Tin Man,” with one guy yelling, “Let’s go, come on, you don’t do that to fans.”
And now, a gang member, Adela Calin, has spoken out about what happened.
The 43-year-old told NBC News, “It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit back in my place.” “I get the impression that she was determined to portray us as young, immature, and arrogant. But we were all trying to capture a picture as adult women in our 30s to 60s.
However, not all supporters were offended by Miranda’s actions. In reality, a lot of people supported Whoopi and the country artist.
Under the now-viral video, a fan commented, “Good for Miranda.” “This song is so unique and lovely.”

Al Pacino Reveals He Nearly Died Of Covid-19 – And Gives His Thoughts On The Afterlife
Al Pacino revealed that he nearly died from COVID-19 in 2020 and expressed his thoughts on what happens after death.
In interviews with The New York Times and People magazine, the Academy Award-winning actor discussed getting the virus and temporarily losing his pulse.
Al, 84, told the Times in a wide-ranging interview that he started feeling “unusually not good” and soon got a fever and dehydration. “I was sitting there in my house, and I was gone,” he stated. “I didn’t have a pulse.”

“You’re here, and you’re not. I thought, “Wow, you don’t even have any memories.” You have nothing. “Strange porridge,” the “Scarface” actor claimed about his near-death encounter.
Within minutes, an ambulance arrived at Al’s house, and he regained consciousness with six paramedics and two physicians in his living room, he claimed.
“They had these outfits on that looked like they were from outer space or something,” he told the local newspaper. “It was very frightening to open your eyes and witness that. Everyone was surrounding me, and they said, ‘He’s back. “He’s here.”
Al told People that when he regained consciousness, he felt confused. “I looked around and I thought, ‘What happened to me?'”
Despite “everybody” believing he was dead, the movie veteran claimed he is not sure if he perished. “I thought I had died. I might not have. I honestly don’t think I have. “I know I made it,” he stated.
Al hailed his “great assistant” by swiftly alerting paramedics after his nurse confirmed that he no longer had a pulse.
“He got the people coming, because the nurse that was taking care of me said, ‘I don’t feel a pulse on this guy,'” remembered Al Pacino.
When asked if the health concern had impacted the way he lived his life, Pacino replied, “Not at all.”
However, this does not imply that the experience had no impact on the performer.

Pacino, who is presently prepping for a film rendition of Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” told The New York Times that the event had a philosophical significance.
“I did not see the white light or anything. “There is nothing there,” he explained. “As Hamlet says, ‘To be or not to be,’ and ‘The uncharted place from which no traveler returns.’ He then says two words: ‘no more.’ “It was no more,” Pacino concluded.
“You are gone. I’d never considered it in my life. But, you know, actors: It sounds good to say you died once. What happens when there is no more?
Pacino’s experiences are described in his book, “Sonny Boy,” which will be published on Tuesday.

Supreme Court Declines To Hear Appeal From Singer R. Kelly, Convicted Of Child Sex Crimes
Washington — The Supreme Court declined to hear R. Kelly’s appeal on Monday, despite the fact that he is currently serving 20 years in jail for child rape charges in Chicago.
The Grammy Award-winning R&B artist, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, was convicted in 2022 of three counts of making child sexual abuse photos and three counts of enticing children for sex.

His lawyers contended that a lower statute of limitations on child sex crime prosecutions should have applied to actions committed in the 1990s. Current legislation allows charges to be filed when the accuser is still alive.
As is common, the justices did not explain why they declined to consider the case. There were no public dissents. Lower courts have previously rejected his arguments.
