Oscars Apologizes to Whoopi Goldberg
The Oscars finally issued an apology to Whoopi Goldberg for omitting her from it’s Oscar montage. The omission left Whoopi in tears on the set of the View the day after the Academy Awards aired.
It was “an absolute oversight,” the award show’s producer told People magazine.
“No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out,” Gil Cates said Tuesday. “I’m going to call her and tell her that.”Although described as a montage of hosts, the piece shown at Sunday night’s telecast on ABC was actually “supposed to be a montage of 80 exciting moments of the Academy Awards” culled from hundreds of hours of footage, says Cates. “Basically, that was not a montage about hosts.”He noted that former host Steve Martin also wasn’t in the montage.
Janet Covers Ebony Magazine
Janet Jackson gets her grown woman on with the April ’08 issue of Ebony magazine. We are definitely feeling the more age appropriate look for Janet. After 22 years, it’s time to grow up. And since JJ feels she has nothing more to prove, does this mean she will retire if Discipline flops?

Here is a pic of Chris Brown and Rihanna‘s matching tattoos per request of one of my loyal readers. I wouldn’t put much stake in these photos. The tattoos only mean the two kids are friends.

Photo of the Day: Beyoncé channels Wendy Williams and Eve
Staying true to form, Beyonce has not yet responded to criticism from Etta James who questioned the choice of Bee to play the legendary singer in a new biopic.
But we are questioning Bee’s choice in lacefront wigs. Beyoncé was spotted by the paps during an outing with her man Jay Z in NY last night. Beyoncé is said to be anxious to begin filming “Cadillac Records”, in which she plays Etta James.
Rihanna Romps in the Pool with Chris Brown
Page Six spies caught songbird Rihanna and her pal Chris Brown romping in a pool at a hotel in Jamaica. This is the first photo of Rihanna and CB together as a couple on vacation. While we here at Sandrarose.com do not believe that RiRi and CB are a couple, we do admit they look cute together.
The two arrived in Jamaica on Friday from Rihanna’s native Barbados where she was appointed Ambassador. RiRi performed for the Jamaica Africa Unite Bob Marley celebration in St. Mary.
The Grammy winner, who was thrown a big birthday bash by Chris for her 20th birthday last week, was all over her younger man. “They were smooching in the pool and were really lovely dovey,” the PageSix.com spy told us exclusively. “They were playfully making out and he was kissing her on the neck.”The attractive pair, who got matching star tattoos on their necks in January, got in the pool after a leisurely lunch yesterday at the Hilton Kingston Hotel in Jamaica. They were hanging out with friends and at about 3 p.m., Chris, 18, jumped into the water and waited while Rihanna went to her room and changed into a bikini.
She came back and was very scared of getting her hair wet, said the spy. “They were floating together with him carrying her and she kept saying, ‘Don’t get my hair wet.’ She was very soft and feminine but he was a big kid and splashing around.” (Source)
PICS: Rihanna Triumphs in Barbados
Rihanna was recently celebrated and honored in her native Barbados where she was appointed Honorary Cultural Ambassador. The response to RiRi’s homecoming by her fellow Barbadians discounted the rumors that they were ignoring Ri Ri’s worldwide success.
Rihanna feted her success with friends and family including her BFF Chris Brown.
In addition to her status as the current “it” girl in entertainment, Rihanna added Philanthropist to her impressive résumé: According to People magazine, Rihanna is putting the word out in hopes of finding a bone marrow donor for a New York City woman who only has 6 weeks to live.
The search for a donor tops the list of priorities for the young singer who is using her international fame to bring attention to the need for more bone marrow donors. “When I heard about Lisa’s plight, my heart broke,” said Rihanna, 20. “I said, ‘I need to get the word out about Lisa right away.’ ”
