I knew something was fishy when I saw "White House Crasher Accuses Whoopi of Hitting Her on The View" on the US Weekly website. Now Whoopi can be loud, defensive... sometimes straight up ghetto. But only if it's called for. She would never hit a guest. Cuss them out real good, sure, but hit, Please. She’s a grown-up, at least the majority of the time.


It turns out that the real story is she "tapped" Mrs. Salahi to get her attention and to redirect the conversation back to her White House faux pas. It all helps to gin up expectations for tonight's premiere of The Real Housewives of D.C.. So I guess even fake publicity is now good publicity.

I won’t be watching, at least not tonight. The class and good humor of Project Runway’s Heidi and Tim will always trump stupid harpies screaming at each other in expensive restaurants.

There's a rerun on this weekend. I’ll let you know what I think.
