Jet Beauty of the Week

Posted by Bossip Staff

whoopi.jetcover

Whoopi Goldberg discusses her make-up regime in Jet magazine:

“It takes six minutes for makeup. It really does. The best thing about me is I don’t have to look like anything. I don’t have to do the makeup, the eyelashes, and the hair. I am not the glam queen. So if I have a little weight on my backside, it’s OK, because it’s just Whoopi.”

We actually commend Whoopi for never getting caught up in all the Hollyweird knifed-up superficial-isms. Good for her.

View Vanessa Williams (who admits to Botox) on the cover of Ebony under the hood…

  4. Stephanie

  5. Mrssexcee1

    goooo whooopi lol

  6. mr mr

    Whoopi is holding it down


  7. I’m sorry Whoopi…you don’t have to look like a runway model…but you can still present yourself much better…put some lip gloss on…change up on the goofy looking glasses…get some eyebrows.

    You CAN do better…that don’t care attitude is just not cool.

  8. Johnson83

    Frankly, I don’t think she is very pretty. But I can’t understand why she is so popular at the celebrity site seekwealthy.com. She has got many great fans there.

  9. jojo

    I give props to Whoopi, she’s the very few in Hollyhood that’s really true to herself.

  10. Al-Anon

    She spends six minutes doing what? I don’t see any lipstick, foundation, eyeliner, mascara or anything. Six minutes for what?

    You don’t have to be a glam queen, but you shouldn’t scare people either!!

  11. STEFANY

    THAT’S RIGHT WHOOPI BE YOURSELF!..F WHAT PEOPLE GOT TO SAY.

  12. NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    Yall trippin’ yall know yall would let Whoop trick…Im just sayin’…

  13. NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    I would!!! LOL…no lesbo…

  14. These Niggas is Crazy!!!

    Whoopi ain’t had no eyebrows since she first came out in The Color Purple. (Very good movie by the way!)

  15. da darkness

    she’s been the black womens image in america the first day she stepped upon the comedy circuit. the darkskinned pickanny. her story prolific, captivating, is she what grandmothers are suppose to be like? my grandmother can’t stand her, but me i’m sympathetic to those who come off the pipe and fix, well not fix but make better their appearence. peep ol bugs in the wire. he came up whoopi she needs to get outta the funk, i feel she still in the funk. that show is so bugged. black women are nothing like them two. it be sad.

  16. Shavon Denise

    We need to pay homage to Whoopi. And ‘Nessa is still the shiznit. Comeback person of 07′ hands down.

  17. Jahpson

    Whoopi is indeed a natural looking woman, and one hell of an actress. Can’t forget her performance in the color purple.

    have nothing further to comment on her Bossip.

  18. Jahpson

    for all we know that six minutes is used scubbing her face with some soap and water. thats why she has no blemishes, in fact she dont even have any wrinkles!!

    She may be a woman, she may even be ugly…but dammit she’s here!

  19. da darkness

    i got a subscription to and only because my dad said “You should always keep some black literature around.” Ebony tires me it’s like bossip the same ten faces on the cover over and over and over and over and over and over yeah rererererererererererere-dundundundundundundun-dededededededent i say’in

  20. da darkness

    she got no wrinkles cause she darkskinned duh

  21. Lady Architect

    Whoopi is not the prettiest, but I admire what she does. It’s about her career as an actress and host. She could care less about all the makeup and stuff. I don’t think that means she rather portray herself as being ugly than glam. I think she’s just being herself. She never looks “non presentable” she’s just not glammed up.

  22. Lu-Lou - "NO BITCH ASSNESS!"

    Whoopi may not be the most beuatifulest thing in this world, but you gotta give it up to her. She’s realer than most!!

  23. Negrodamus Believes

    Negrodamus believes Whoopi and Ted Danson dress in slave drag when having sex.

  24. Anonymous

    I think BOTH women are beautiful :-)

  25. Glaze

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOO i busted out laughing when i saw whoopi’s pic…hahaha jet beauty of the week. yall nuts for that one

  26. Alexander O'Neal

    Too early for this picture

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    lmao

    lol@JET beauty of the Week

    too stupid in the morning…

  27. Play up Pompey Girl

    she is 100 per cent real- and I wish I had half her self confidence!

  28. Ashley Seales

    Ummm… Vanessa williams is banging.

    She could get it good, if I was into that.

    But, she’s so pretty.

  29. dubya

    Whoopi gets MUCHO respect from me. If you are stuck on her looks then you are SHALLOW. I salute her. Although she does not have that “typical hollywood beauty” she has still managed to carve out a very successful path for herself.

    I’ll take substance over beauty ANYDAY.

  30. dubya

    Hey lady architect. I did not mean to plagarize your response! I agree with you 100%.

  31. Saucy

    I think Whoopi looks just fine. I wish I felt comfortable in my own skin. but no, I put on the makeup and lipstick every morning. The guys say I don’t need it, but I like it.

    Vanessa Williams’ photo on Ebony is has had a bit of digital editing. Her skin is too smooth, but she’s still looks good.

  32. BossLady

    Whoopi has remained a strong, driving force in her field and needs no one’s validation to know who she is. She made it okay to have locs, black lips, (she’s smokes. Yeah, the green too.) and a not sexy at all persona and is still able to land gigs. Living proof that sex isn’t the only thing that sells. Talents still has a place somewhere. A true Manhattan girl to the core. Luv you Whoopi.

    PS- Maybe I’m crazy, but I do think that Whoopi is very sexy. In a ‘head-held-high’ kinda way.

  33. Baby Girl

    You go, Whoopi!!! Keep it real.

    Speaking of real, Ms. Williams looks nothing like this in real life. I’ve seen that face and skin…not so smooth and flawless. Photoshop does wonders, doesn’t it?

  34. beautiful b

    no lie, i love the view now that whoopi is on it. she brings some “real” to the table and doenst flex her opinions because she is outnumbered or someone doesnt agree with her.

  35. beautiful b

    and vanessa does not look like this anymore. shes still beautiful and is ageing gracefully, but she plays herself when she lets magazines airbrush her face like this. it seems like she trying to cling desperatly to her slipping youth. leave the botox and plastic to the west coast barbies, u are better then this boo.

  36. Suga Mo

    No lye. I actually think that whoopi is pretty in an non-assuming, unconventional way.

  37. Suga Mo

    *lie

  38. Lou in the Chi

    I like Whoopi as an actress, but as a person she is a Tom and has no morals. She is ultra-liberal and don’t believe racism is still a driving force in this country. So f**k Whoopi.

  39. Southern Belle 225

    fuckin A for Whoopi for keeping it real

  40. I'm Just Me

    She actually didn’t keep it real for a minute.

    Vanessa looks goregeous as always.

    I like Whoopi but her name isn’t even Whoopi it is Karen so she isn’t even keeping it real with that.

  41. DH

    BossLady: Stated perfectly.

    I saw her speak a few weeks ago about how Hollywood told her she was unattractive, but it didn’t really phase her b/c she always knew that she had a man back at home & that she was receiving attention back at home from men. She’s right- everyone is different. Everyone’s relationship does not have to be on front street. At the end of the day, if you & your significant other think you’re beautiful (sometimes you may have to even ignore your significant other’s opinion), who cares what everyone else thinks? I’m not saying that I agree with everything Whoopi says/does, but on the rare chance I get to catch “The View”, I love her commentary. I have a better appreciation for her after hearing her opinions on the show. Whoopi and Vanessa are both good in their own ways.

  42. jp

    If you ever have the chance to see her in person, you will be surprised at the beauty of this woman. The most perfect skin I’ve ever seen, and her spirit is one of the most beautiful – you can tell this after just saying hello to her on the street. Don’t hate on her!

  43. Blacksmith

    Love ‘em both. Whoopi can/has/will always say what’s on her mind. Love her.

    Vanessa is the shizz, a little Botox or not, can’t knock her talent. I still remember wathching her win Miss America. I believe I shed a tear when she won and when they took her crown away, I shed another tear. Now that she’s back on top and STILL in the business 20+ years later…she is making it rain on them hoes.

  44. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    We’re so used to seeing Whoopi natural that I think she’d probably look weird all glammed up. Vanessa’s pic is drastically airbrushed because all of her crows feet/wrinkles have been erased and she looks like a 25yr old, when in reality, in untouched pics, she looks middle-aged.

  45. Chucky

    I agree. Whoopi and Vanessa are old as hell, but they can still run over these wanna youngsters any day of the week. It’s called class and sophistication, ladies and gentlemen. Vanessa is one of my idols because she stood strong when anyone else would have broke down. Whoopi has never compromised herself and people love her for that.

  46. BadNewsBrown

    Black don’t crack.

    and as a photoshopper myself, I must say: good job, Ebony!

  47. SOCROTES

    I see NOTHING UGLY about whoopi. She may not fit into your idea of beauty, but she surely isn’t ugly. And for someone that wears no makeup, she has great skin and she looks good without makeup.

    If Black people set the standards for beauty, then it would be different.

    Have you all noticed that white folks standards of beauty are even impossible for them to reach that they have to resort to synthetic means?

    I would take Whoopi’s face any day over Priscilla Presley’s or Melanie Griffith’s any day!

  48. SOCROTES

    Racism is a driving force if you allow it!

    You can’t stop people from being racist, but we can stop our own victimization by retraining our minds to think positive and EDUCATE our people.

    #1.. Take advantage of the education and any grants that we are entitled to receive.. More than half of black males drop out of high school.. THAT ISN’T the fault of racism, but OURS..

    I agree race plays a role in the justice system. But many black males shouldn’t even be in that position if they would stop selling drugs and running around with fucking guns.

    WE NEED TO GET OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!

    VANITY IS DESTROYING BLACK AMERICA. You will only be a victim if oyu allow yourself to be one..

    Lou in the Chi

    I like Whoopi as an actress, but as a person she is a Tom and has no morals. She is ultra-liberal and don’t believe racism is still a driving force in this country. So f**k Whoopi.

  49. Madam"O"

    Whoopi is just Whoopi. I guess people haven’t checked out the View but she can hold her own on that show of limit minded twits. Whoopi is black, nappy,intelligent, wity and real. Hate her or love her, but she is who she is and no one can change that.

  50. CJ

    I miss Whoopi glad to see she is doing good. Sista Act II Whoopi I’ll never forget it Joyfull Joyfull Lord we adore thee and with my life I put none before thee LOL that song was sweet!

  51. yanib

    It is refreshing to read so many posts supporting Whoopi’s natural look. Usually are seeing comments about how so and so needs to step up her make up game or put some on. When did we adopt the traditional white mind set that a woman was put together unless she was painted? Black women used to only where make up on special occassions and let the natural beauty flow at all other times. Who decided that we have to roll outta bed fully made with the mascara laying right next to the snooze button?

  52. yanib

    I am semi literate. That should be “wear” not “where”.

  53. MzTee

    I like Whoopi. I appreciate her honesty and integrity.

    I think she’s very attractive and has flawless, beautiful skin. She looks like a black woman not one of these non-racials, as Mtume once said, who grace videos and magazine covers.

    Lou in the Chi…I’ve never heard Whoopi say or read an article where she supposedly said racism isn’t a factor. Can you please name a TV interview, magazine interview or something where she stated this. If you can’t, you shouldn’t stop spreading untruths.

    If you don’t like the woman that’s one thing but don’t make up SHIT about her to justify your dislike of her…it ain’t cool.

  54. Ara

    Whoopi Goldberg found success in Hollywood even though she did not fit the typical Hollywood mode for women. In Hollywood where beautiful women are a dime a dozen, and many times movie directors etc. are not checking for black actresses of any type, Whoopi manange to land movie roles across a broad spectrum, not just sterotypes. She was the second black woman to win an Oscar, for her supporting role in the movie “Ghost”. She is the only woman who has host the the Academy Awards, and I think she also won a Tony on broadway too. Whoopi is smart, intelligent and she can get ghetto on you too!! Whoopi is all that and more!

  55. Ara

    Whoopi also has won an Emmy, a Grammy a Daytime Emmy, 2 Golden Globes and 2 Saturn Awards. Go Whoopi!!

  56. memchee

    can’t knock whoopi, she’s one of the few who has stayed true to herself.


  57. the color purple is one of my favorite movies,yet i feel it takes 6 seconds to put whippie’s makeup on black paint on the lips need to rub on the eye brows too.

  58. DM

    Ya’ll, she is a straight up Uncle Tom…I mean Aunt Thomasina.


  59. beauty of the week ,ok she is beautiful and

    Whoopi gay as fuck but she smart enough not to lwt people in her business !

  61. Come out the closet Whoopi

    correction let for u idiots who on that B.S.

  62. Chofra

    There is nothing ugly about Whoopi, she just has a phenotype not associated with being beautiful in the United States. Her features are broad and her skin is dark, but she’s still and has always been beautiful both in and out.

  63. Chofra

    And Vanessa is beautiful, too. Even with the botox, she’s looks so amazing for her age.


  64. beauty is only skin deep, remember that saying

  65. deesac

    wow with all the ugly woman out now whoopi does not look bad anymore


  66. Jet BEAUTY? Bossip thats very funny… I love her though. She is funny and also a good actress.


  67. both vanessa williams should work together.

    now that would be interesting. they would have to use their middle initials.

    the picks of miss america vanessa L williams and her youngest child was cute.

    vanessa A williams from melrose place was fierce.

    seems like whoopi loves being on the view.

    all of the pictures of all the stars were fantastick.
