Happy birthday Whoopi Goldberg!
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg is celebrating her 67th birthday on 13 November. She revealed some special presents that she wants to offer to everyone, according to ABC News. Her list includes things from wine, jewelry, footwear, and a lot more all of which have a story just like her name.
On The Graham Norton Show’s red sofa, Whoopi Goldberg explained the amusing story of how her odd name came to be, per Hello Magazine. The actress, whose real name is Karen, said that she got the moniker when playing in theatres early in her career by behaving like a “whoopee cushion.” She laughed, saying, “No one christened me that. I am Karen but I was a bit of a farter! The theatres I was performing in were very small so if you were gassy you had to walk away farting and people would say I was like a Whoopee cushion. I was sometimes quite noisy, never offensive!”
One of the things on her list is Whoopi's Prosecco a white sparkling wine crafted from organic grapes with vivacious citrus flavors that were hand-harvested in Italy's famed Veneto Region. She produced this because she enjoys organizing get-togethers for her friends and relatives. She has also produced sweaters and now will start producing sweaters for dogs too.
She also likes Birkenstocks' footwear as it mixes elegance and comfort and the original hands-free sneaker, Kizik which snaps back into place when you just foot down on the heel. She also wears Lorenzo Quinn's "Give and Receive" bracelet and wants everyone to have one. As for fragrances, she is unable to live without Itinera since it makes her think of authentic Italian fragrances.

For the kitchen and home, she prefers a natural non-stick alternative, Made In Cookware's Carbon Steel blends, and functional art for the home, kitchen, table, and other spaces called Alessi whose iconic pieces are found in the most prestigious museums in the world. They have also been featured in more than 100 foreign films and television programs. She also enjoys licensed pop culture goods in a variety of categories, including vinyl figures, board games, action figures, plush, clothing, home goods, and accessories by Funko.
Lastly, she wishes for a trip for two to the Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun, from the renowned TAFER Hotels & Resorts which is the trendiest, and most opulent all-inclusive resort in Mexico's Cancun region. It is a beachfront hotel located in Playa Mujeres, Mexico, on the Mexican Caribbean coast.
