Slim Fast and Whoopi
Whoopi is one of my fav actresses (primarily because of the Color Purple)
Weight loss product manufacturer Slim-Fast announced Wednesday it had dropped Whoopi Goldberg as its spokeswoman, following a controversy over sexually explicit comments she made last week at a fund-raiser in New York for presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry.

If it means seeing her less on TV, I'm all for it. I'm just not a big fan of her acting.

LOL. I was never a trek fan. And I'm not happy with her latest roles but she will forever be on my list for The Color Purple (her first role I believe) Jumpin Jack Flash, and Ghost.

I think she went a little bit too far with her comments at the fundraiser, but I am getting tired of the spineless companies cutting their spokespeople because they say isht that they don't like.

Could be because the company didn't support the things that she said. Whoopi was essentially one of their employees. When one of your employees harms the company's image, you cut them loose.

Did she really have to be called out of her name?

That's not so bad. I heard that she called him vulgar names. I mean if your name is Bush, you have to develop a sense of humor about it.
