   I was watching The View this morning. During Hot Topics they discussed Eddie Murphy’s decision to leave. Baba WaWa make a grand pronouncement that “Our Whoopi should host”!!! followed by a bunch of clapping and yeehawing…

   Whoopi, who is so full of herself every min of every minute, responded ” I wouldn’t do it without Billy”..”no, they would have to bring in Billy, I would insist on it”..in that drawl she has when she is getting all high falutent..

   I wasn’t sure whether she was just being honest saying that Billy Crystal would make her not suck so much because she can’t carry the show by herself, or she thought she was the Stah and was throwing Billy a job. The way she said it was kind of dismissive to Bily.

   I love the fact that they announced that he got the Oscars after she was so Diva like this morning.

   Whoopi hosted the Oscars at least four times and has stated since as early as March that she wanted to do it again, this time as co-hosts with Billy Crystal. Billy has hosted the Oscars more times than she has and the pair are good friends, working on projects together since the ’80′s, including philanthropic work for Comic Relief (along with Robin Williams) where they raised funds to combat homelessness.

   Actually, there’s been a Whoopi/Billy Oscar Co-Host movement on Facebook since February. I didn’t post it above because I didn’t look at the dates of the posts and assumed it was something just created. Nope..

   Interestingly enough, the page creators/fans wanted them to cohost the 2012 awards.

    YAY! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Billy. Actually, adding in Whoopi and Robin would be awesome, too. But I’m excited either way!

    I know all about her and the Oscars and the charity and the blah blah..

    I was just giving my opinion that she acted as if she was the Stah of the duo and she would never do it without him. As if he was second fiddle.

    She was extremely rude suggesting that he would only be asked if she “insisted” on it. I watched this before it was announced that Billy Crystal would host and I thought to myself ” man, you sure do think alot about yourself Whoopi, Billy Crystal is funnier than you will ever be”. And I agree with myself.

    They also have a facebook movement about whether America should call “ketchup” or “catsup”.
