Pretending to hold back tears, Whoopi Goldberg announced today that her 'View' (Weekdays, Syndicated on ABC) co-host Sherri Shepherd is engaged. Flashing a wide smile, Shepherd held up her left hand to show off the beautiful engagement ring. Her fiancée, Lamar Sally, proposed over the holidays and the couple are planning an August wedding in Chicago.Barbara Walters asked Sherri if she was going to change her last name, and Shepherd said no. Sort of. "You know, no," she said, "I'm going to be Sherri Shepherd because I worked really hard to make it. I don't think people would know me as Sherri Sally. But my credit cards and everything will say 'Sherri Sally.'"
Walters then offered to plan Shepherd's bridal shower, just maybe not the one Shepherd has in mind. "With strippers and everything?" Shepherd asked.
