It only took the producers of \u201cThe View\u201d a few hours to decide the show would use the death of Tina Turner as a reason to boost ratings. Just after the horrible announcement of Ms. Turner\u2019s passing, the hosts of the tacky show emerged from backstage with outfits straight out of Thunderdome. They then danced their way to the stage to Lizzo\u2019s rendition of \u201cProud Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole thing was in poor taste,\u201d said Turner family attorney Thomas Bagger, \u201cthey had no right to run an homage-themed show without first getting permission.\u201d According to the show, they have the right to use the music because while it was a song with a famous cover by Tina Turner, it\u2019s not her song, and she wasn\u2019t even represented in the vocals. \u201cWe still take offense that they dressed like her and wore Thunderdome wigs,\u201d said Bagger, \u201cthey were clearly trying to profit from her image.\u201d According to internet rumors, Whoopi and Tina weren\u2019t even friends. They had a falling out in the 80s over who would buy In and Out Burger and they never spoke again. We were able to confirm that while the rumor is probably not completely true, there is a good possibility that Turner liked her burgers with extra onions. \u201cOnions are delicious. It\u2019s no wonder a great American like Tina Turner would love them.\u201d Amen to that, patriots, and God Bless America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
