Ooh Whoopi Now I know why I like you, you’re a Scorpio. I have one more week before I turn 57. They always say Scorpios are good detectives. Is it true? Sometimes I wonder. You are looking good. Heard you on the news last night at the protest at the Mormon Temple. All right!

Hello Whoopi, May you continue to rock the world with your talents and your ability to speak out for those who are often not heard. Congradulations on your directorship for the Sister Act show for stage. You are an amazing powerful woman. My your birthday bring you lots for fun.

Whoopi Goldberg is my hero because she: W-worked hard to get where she is and that is something I admire about her, H-has a great personality and heart for other people around her, O-is outragiously funny in most of her successful films, O-is outmost brilliant in her thoughts and her opinions about different situations in life, P-prefers to tell people upfront of what she is like than let them judge her like a book by its cover, I-is my role model since I was a little girl, I have always admired her because of who she is and how she makes people see her in their lives.

I thank God for sending a wonderful person like u to this earth. U make my day, and as I live everyday I have hope that someday Ill meet u.lol, even if my friends dont get it why I like u out of all the other actresses in the world. I just tell them that COME ON, ITS WHOOPI. I like how u smile, how u dont care what people say about u. I like how u act, how u state ur opinions boldly and how u listen to others all the time. I love ur posts on wowowow, and that is what makes me stay connected to this website. I always hope that ull look through the posts and see my comments and wonder who is this teen that is sending these comments to me. lol.

She does still look amazing, but what I miss is the mid-80s hairdo, with the bangs in front - like in Burglar and Fatal Beauty. I can’t believe she’s 53. I remember when she turned, like, 37. I was a kid, so it’s startling to realize your heroes are aging, because that means you have aged right along with them. Oy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WHOOP! I could write a novella here but I’m already way too embarrassingly late in the birthday wishes. (Funnily enough, I had a doctor’s appointment today…and I remember back when they originally scheduled the appointment for me, my first thought was “That’s on Whoopi Goldberg’s birthday!” haha…)

Have a wonderful birthday, Whoopi! You are funny, intelligent, a brilliant actress and a wonderful host and you are loved by many, including yours truly. The 50s may be the best age a woman can be. Enjoy!

My birthday wishes for you, dear Whoopi, are two fold: May you stay as beautiful as you are and may you always bring laughter into this world that so often needs your kind of humor. When you smile everybody smiles––even the old sad sacks.
