GOLDBERG SLAMS FASHION CRITICS

Oscar winner WHOOPI GOLDBERG has blasted U.S. magazine editors for criticising her wardrobe, branding one fashion writer an "anonymous b**ch".
The Ghost star is tired of the attacks from the fashion police, who have turned on the actress/comedienne for the casual outfits she wears as a co-host on U.S. magazine show The View.
And, when TV Guide writer Ingela Ratledge recently accused Goldberg of "looking like you're ready to make a run to (discount store) Costco," the star decided enough was enough.
She dedicated the last few minutes of Friday's (20Mar09) show to hit out at the magazine writers.
Blasting Ratledge, she says, "My style, who I am, is not about my clothing. If I came out in a bag, I would still and always will be me, so you can kiss my a**."
She added, "To the young lady Stacy Landon. Stacy, Tracey, whatever your name is. I don't need you to take me seriously. I am myself, I've always been myself, and you don't judge me by what I wear, you judge me by what I say."
Goldberg signed off the programme by tearing up the magazine as her co-presenters cheered.
