Your Two Cents Required: Starzilla vs. Sandra Bernhard

Star Jones Reynolds had to bite her tongue to keep from cursing out comedian Sandra Bernhard on "The View" Friday morning.

Bernhard has made jokes in the past about biracial singer Mariah Carey appearing to cash in on her blackness only when her more mainstream pop material became passe. Star, reading from the pre-interview notes on her blue cards, asked Bernhard to explain why she is now claiming responsibility for the success of Carey's album, "The Emancipation of Mimi." Bernhard said it was her jokes eight years ago about Carey "being black only when it's convenient" that led to the singer's nervous breakdown, which eventually resulted in this current emancipation.

Trying to remain calm, Star hit Bernhard with a "girl please" and said Carey has always been open about being black. Bernhard joked to the audience that Star was about to go off on her. Star smiled and said, "I look too cute today to be going off on you," then rolled her eyes back toward co-host Barbara Walters to continue on.

Walters said that Carey spoke openly about her African American father during their interview eight years ago. Bernhard finally gave up on the whole thing, shouting, "It's a joke," and telling Star she didn't set up the story right." (continue)
