Donald Trump has been throwing shapes all over the place about running for president in 2012, and he certainly knows to whom he needs to market himself.

Trump has made a big deal in press appearances lately regarding the questions he has for Barack Obama about the veracity of his birth certificate. Although Obama’s citizenship has been proven via a birth certificate released in 2008 that looks exactly like mine- and I am as American as deep fried Apple Pie Zingers served off the muzzle of a red white and blue gun- the president’s many critics demand to see something called a “long form” birth certificate. (Which I can only imagine is the same information but with a full-color photograph of the future president crowning against the backdrop of an American flag.)

Seriously, this is about the worst argument about someone’s presidential chops since Teddy Roosevelt spared the baby bear from being hunted. But people like Trump press onward, and he had it out with Obama supporter Whoopi Goldberg on today’s episode of the view. Trump claimed and demanded:

“I want him to show his birth certificate… There is something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like.”

Goldberg fired back:

“It’s the biggest pile of dog mess I’ve heard in ages… It’s not because he’s black, is it? I’ve never heard of any white president who had to show his birth certificate. That’s BS!”

At the very least, people like Trump need to disabuse themselves of the idea that any measure of proof would suffice, and accept that no matter what Barack Obama says or proves, they’ll never “accept” him as president- like if the “long form” document showed up, they’d be all, “dude, my bad! Carry on, and excellent job!”

An argument about the “Ground Zero mosque” between the ladies of The View and Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly culminated in a dramatic in-segment walk off by hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.

In the clip below, you can see Behar and Goldberg stalk away after O’Reilly repeatedly, incredulously asks if they’re suggesting that “Muslims didn’t kill us” on September 11th:

A Virginia lawyer said she had to laugh when she heard that Real Housewives of DC fameball Michaele Salahi is accusing Whoopi Goldberg of “assaulting” her after an appearance on The View.

Cynthia Revesman told RadarOnline that not only did Salahi accuse her of the same type of incident- hysterically claiming an assault after Revesman touched Salahi’s arm- the infamous White House gate crasher even filed a police report for the January 2009 incident. The lawyer described the chain of events, and if you read the Whoopi story, it sounds pretty familiar:

Revesman said she was in court acting on behalf of a client, who was suing the Salahi’s for an unpaid bill, when she turned to Michaele and her “finger touched her arm”.

“Michaele then begin screaming “stop hitting me” and she turned the to bailiffs and she said “make sure she doesn’t hit me again”,” recalled Revesman.

“My client was standing right next to me and I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ and she responded, ‘You just hit me’.

“I said, ‘No I didn’t, I don’t understand what’s going on here.’ The bailiffs were all looking at me throwing their hands up in the air.”

Revesman says she’s not surprised the Salahis are pulling the same lame con on Goldberg, and points out a legal benefit for the debt-laden, status-climbing couple:

“What they do is they take the assault charge and go after the opposing council in the other side; they want you to barter their criminal process with a civil process going on.  That is their whole m.o (modus operandi).”

The Salahis’ case against Revesman was thrown out by a judge in April of 2009.

Michelle Salahi, one half of the fameball couple who lied their way into a White House event after they discovered they had not been invited, is elbowing her way back into the spotlight with a new claim that Whoopi Goldberg behaved unprofessionally and aggressively toward her following an appearance on daytime chat show The View.

Not surprisingly, Salahi and Goldberg differ on what transpired backstage after Salahi appeared with the four other Real Housewives of DC. Salahi clams Goldberg struck her, while Goldberg merely admits to verbally eviscerating the reality show participant:

After the taping, Salahi was crying backstage and, according to ABC, told a producer that Goldberg “hit” her. Salahi maintains that she merely said that she was upset that Goldberg had come up behind her on the air and “grabbed” her arm… Both sides agree that the exchange that followed was heated: Goldberg went into Salahi’s dressing room and had an angry confrontation with the “Housewives” cast member and her husband. “Her husband got in my face, had his BlackBerry out and started taking pictures of me,” Goldberg said on Thursday. “And needless to say, I really went off then. And there was even more choicer words. I mean, they were so choice, you could have cut them with a knife and eaten them.”

Most boring feud ever? Salahi’s Real Housewives of DC castmates seem to think so. Does there come a point when you realize that if people who appear on Real Housewives of programs accuse you of attention whoring, perhaps you’ve got a problem? Isn’t that akin to Dick Cheney calling you diabolical or Tiger Woods suggesting you lay off the porn star ass?

Salahi’s co-stars appeared on Today alongside her, but still huffed:

This is a show about five people,” said Mary Schmidt Amons. “We’re so finished with it.”

Lynda Erkiletian, the one cast member who was friends with Salahi before the show, said she no longer trusted Michaele and Tariq: “They live a phony fake Bonnie-and-Clyde life.”

Denise Richards’ kids have been through enough, so I wish that she could leave them out of it for a while. I don’t know if her blabbing is for publicity or just because she can’t keep her mouth shut, but the poor things need a break. I don’t want to imagine them reading this later on down the road:

My kids are in therapy. It’s very sad that they need to be there, but they do for now. On the other hand, it’s good they have an outlet to deal with their feelings and someone who is just their advocate.

“Just” an advocate? I thought that mothers were good for that, but maybe Denise is just used to delegating with her big new show and all.

Maybe Whoopie’s concerns were even more grounded than they seemed at the time.

Talkshow The View has turned out to be a secret hotbed of cattiness– whoever called this show “light” is seriously mistaken. As we say again today– with the fury only reminiscent of last year’s political issues. At least it wasn’t host-on-host this time.

Denise Richards was the guest today on The View, where she managed to totally infuriate Whoopi Goldberg in short time. She may have been on to talk about “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated” and her post-Charlie life, but Whoopi touched on another sensitive subject: her children and the fact that they’re “exposed” on a reality TV show. Denise maintained that she’s a “work at home” mom and can make a living while still being with her children, but Whoopi had other ideas about her new venture:

But [your kids are] there. These are little kids. If you want to keep them private, to keep your life private, do you not think this is a little extreme to open it up? You’re going through this huge thing and I just wonder if the timing might not be great.

Hey, at least somebody said it. Denise’s mission of proving that she’s not a homewrecker is playing second fiddle now. Bet her publicist looooves that!
