Sherri Shepherd Dishes On Wedding: Son Giving Her Away And No Dieters Allowed

Sherri Shepherd is gearing up for a summer wedding to her fiancé Lamar Sally. ‘The View‘ co-host shares details on her ceremony, the dress, and the expensive reception.
Sherri’s son Jeffrey, 6, will be walking her down the aisle:

“I want [fiancé Lamar Sally] to know that when my son walks me down the aisle, you’re not only getting me, but you’re getting this little boy. He’s going to give me away because it’s symbolic that he’s giving me away for this man to protect me and protect him.

I love that! That is so sweet!

Sherri, who has lost a lot of weight over the last year, says she is working hard to get “Michelle Obama” arms before the big day:

“I want Michelle Obama arms. And my fantasy [dress] is strapless. I don’t know what is going to hold these boulders up, but that’s my fantasy!”

She also says that guests better come VERY hungry (and thirsty) to her reception:

“It’s amazing how much a reception is! When anybody comes I told them, ‘You better eat all the hors d’oeuvres drink up all the liquor and eat all the food because we’re paying for all that stuff. I’m not playing around! Don’t be freakin’ ‘I want to be skinny!’ Eat the steak, eat the roll, everything!”

She is a riot. She’s always so blunt and funny about everything.

Sherri Shepherd on Jeff Tarpley: I Have Ex-Husband Sex Photos!

Sherri Shepherd is battling with GLADD these days over comments The View host made concerning HIV in the African-American community.

But that's not the only fight Shepherd is engaged in.

The comedian/actress has been in court all week, as the divorce trial between her and Jeff Tarpley is underway.

Shepherd filed to end the marriage in 2006 and she told TMZ why yesterday: soon after their child was born premature that year, Sherri returned from a visit to the ICU - and discovered photos of Tarpley having sex with another woman!

He later impregnated this mistress.

Shepherd does say her ex is a solid father, but this information makes the photo above a lot less cute and a lot more disturbing, doesn't it? (thehollywoodgossip)

An "Evasive" View: GLAAD Unhappy with Talk Show's Response to Controversial HIV Comments

The feud between GLADD and The View is far from over.

On June 22, comedian D.L. Hughley co-hosted the ABC talk show. He and Sherri Shepherd got into a discussion about the prominence of HIV among African-Americans, both agreeing that it exists because gay black men ("on the down low") have sex with women.

"When you look at the prevalence of HIV in the African American community, it's primarily young women who are getting it from men who are on the down low," Hughley said.

However, the Centers for Disease Control has provided numbers that disprove this theory.

Therefore, GLADD has demanded a retraction and an apology from the show, taking out a full page ad in Monday's Variety expressing its displeasure with ABC and the hosts.

Yesterday, the network released the following statement:

"[D]uring a discussion about blood donation and the transmission of HIV/AIDS, a guest moderator on the show expressed his interpretation of data about one way the virus can be transmitted. The topic of HIV/AIDS has been raised many times over the show's 13 years, with many voices and opinions contributing to a conversation that we expect to continue as long as The View is on the air."

That was it. Doesn't exactly say much, does it?

In response, Cindi Craeger - GLAAD's director of national news - described the statement as "evasive" and said: "This program reaches millions of viewers and ABC must ensure that its platforms aren't used to perpetuate dangerous falsehoods that put our community in harm's way." (thehollywoodgossip)

There is a fine line between expressing one's opinion and tossing around discriminating statements that contradict facts. Did Hughley and The View cross it? You tell us.
