These companies crack me up...they pay huge sums to purchase the images of celebs, and then fire them when the celebs act true to form and the heat gets too intense. This all reminds me of the Roseanne singing the National Anthem flap a few years ago....my God, what DID they expect from Rosanne??? Whoopi has never been the queen of gentle politically-correct humor, and Slimfast knew that going into it.
However, free speech doesn't mean free of consequences. Whoopi knew she sold her soul to the Slimfast corp when she signed on as a company representative, and I doubt she was surprised she got canned.
Her ass wasn't getting any smaller anyway.
Anybody seen Monica Lewinsky doing Jenny Craig commercials lately. LOL
