Sherri Shepherd is engagedSherri Shepherd is going to be a changed woman in the new year – namely, a newlywed. A rep for Shepherd confirms to People that the 43-year-old co-host of "The View" and TV writer Lamar Sally got engaged over the holidays. "Upon arriving back to Lamar's home in Los Angeles from a trip to San Diego, Sherri was surprised to find their accommodations had been decorated with lights by one of Sal's best friends, her dog was wearing a Santa beard and hat, and, in the middle of a dish of Sherri's favorite but forbidden M&M's [she is diabetic], was a tiny little box," says the rep.
Just before presenting Shepherd with the ring, Sally asked her 5-year-old son, Jeffrey, for permission to propose. The couple, who met through Niecy Nash's fiancé Jay Tucker, are planning to wed in August. Viewers will get to see Shepherd's sparkler – and hear all about the engagement – when "The View" returns to its usual live broadcasts on January 10. Hopefully the buildup to Shepherd's big day will be less dramatic than that of former "View" co-host Star Jones, whose 2004 wedding to Al Reynolds had many calling her a Bridezilla.

I like Sherri, And I am happy for her.
Congratualtions Sherri!
She will probably get hungry and eat her husband... Then she will get so fat that Elisabeth and babs will have to leave the show to make room for Sherri... Maybe there could finally be some peace and quiet at that table
Isnt she the one that thought the planet wasnt round?
Finally, I am glad she found a man. I was so tired of her acting desperate on TV Shows looking for a man.
I'd rather die than hold this Fatty-Fat, Fat-Fat's hand let alone marry her/it! Her guy has to be gay because no straight man would even look at her. Fat black women are so gross.
Ok....S&M Lincoln, Yoy obviously have never really seen black women outside of T.V..Sherri is not FAT,she is THICK.90% of black women are thick and are porportioned thicker,it is their genes.Her breasts are big as most black womens are which makes them look fat.I think Sherri is a very attractive lady and there's is nothing wrong with the way she looks.You are close minded and an Idiot.
Congrats! I love to see people happy!
I love Sherri! She is soooo funny! Keep doin you girl!!!!
What season of the Biggest Loser was she on? Season One?....they all put the weight back on after they leave the show...
Hmmmmm...glad it's him. I don't get it but it's his problem now.
Congrates 2 u shari* u r real, funny and appears 2 love life and people* and have morals, without being judgement * I'm glad u found someone who loves u4 u
I have been watching the View for 12 years. I am happy for Sherri –she is delightful & funny. No one should judge her past history - we live for the present moment. Good Luck & Blessings !!
Sherri u rock the view & deserve all the happiness that comes, bc when ur honest & vulnerable, it's a love thing to behold
Dude, you gotta' think this over.
But no one brought up what white women have. One thing you apparently don't have is a book to teach you punctuation. You do realize that you're not supposed to put a space in front of every comma and period, right?
And you can't be black because you spelled Kool Aid with a c.
good luck and best wishes happy new year!!!
It's funny u wanna make all these ignorant statements regarding ,black women & what they supposidly have . Everything u mentioned is the same thing many white woman have .Weaves as well as wigs originated with white people you Idiot ! Black women just aren't ashamed to admit to wearing them. Also I don't know what planet you live on but many white people are on assistance , like cool aid , have multiple baby daddies ....ex. Again the difference is they cover up anything they think will make them look bad , such as a million abortions during college – B4 Marriage !!! So live on planet Ignorant if you want , Reality is your obviously an evil, miserable b**ch !!!
Congrats Sherri keep up the great work n keep representive us real ladies out here in America n just pop ya collar on theese Blog Haters(lol).
I stop watching the show a long time ago because i hate what she said about Jehovah's Witnesses. she was never one. we do not kill and by her getting rid of so many babies. you should have kept that part to yourself.you willhave to answer to Jehovah regarding the life that you lead.
Sorry, got ur son & Lamar's name mixed up, u kn what & who I mean Delores
Congrats Sherrie, 2 u, ur son & Jeff, I've always loved u in all ur endevors. The abortions r between u & God. Keep God first in ur life & marriage, & u can't go wrong.Don't even think of the haters.The Green Eyed Monster stays on the loose. Wishing u & ur family a lifetime of blessings & happiness! Sincerely, DELORES–Jan.6,2011-12:42 am
One suggestion to her husband-to-be: make sure you're always on top.
CONGRATS TO SHERRI!! WoW could you be more racist and stereotypical?!! welfare checks..kool aid..etc...U forgot the main thing WE HAVE THE TALENT TO BEAT SOME @SS TOO!!U IGNORANT EVIL SOUL!!
Im soo happy 4 her:-)
U go gurl! B happy and for the hayters...ignore their ig'nant a$$es. By the way, I know hoe u felt with Prince next to you. I felt the Same way when he held my hand and sung to me! Sigh.........
congratulations sherry...i wish u all the best!
Oh and by the way peeps shouldn't comment on sum1's happiness in such a neg. Way. I'm glad she's getting married. Ur jus mad cuz ur broke and alone!!!!
Congrats...I wish u da best let ur haters be ur motivators
I am happy she found love, its a great thing to have someone special in your life.
What I realize is those that are lost in the ugly words and descriptions cannot possibly
have love, because when you do, you don't see the world as they do, they are sad
lonely, ugly on the inside people because they are lacking in love...I would love to see each
and everyone of them naked, so we could all get a great laugh at their little shameful selves.
Congratulation Sheri wow there r a bunch of haters on this site
I wish her mother aborted her....she is eating all the food in the grocery stores..look at her!!..looks like her cheeks are full of food in that photo..get on the treadmill girl!!
She's not overweight. She has a large chest, but the rest of her is the correct size. You just don't realize that because you view her mostly from the waist up.
I hate the View. I stopped watching it a while ago. I dont hate Sherri, but I lost all respect when I heard her talk about all the abortions she had. How could you even admit that on television and think people wont talk. Didnt she know that there are other forms of birth control other than abortion? Thats the only thing I think about when I see her.
My Dearest Sherri To Everything there is a Season A Time For Every Purpose.Sherri This Your Season Congratulations Best Wishes Always.
in what?
Sherri is so nice, and wants a family. I am very happy for her. I do not understand why some of the posts can be so mean.No person is perfect.
Ignorancy will only get you so far people.
I bet all the people leaving hate comments on here are single and morbidly hideous.
So happy she found love after gaining all the weight back she lost on the Biggest Loser..maybe they can bring her back so she try to lose weight and look normal for her wedding...
Congratulations Sherri!
Thanks boo.
Congrats Sheri! You deserve a good man 4 you+your son. God bless! Ignore those haters who say they stop watching becoz of you...funny they know All of your business! I guess they lied! What do u think?
May God bless your union.
Hey Sherri, don't let these HATERS rain on your "parade"! Let them do what they do best, HATE on the WONDERFUL ones – BLACK WOMEN! Always wanting what BLACK WOMEN have NATURALLY: The lips, the breasts and the booty! Did you see the commercial for the "Booty Pop" yet? I'm still LMAO! Don't let those fools steal your joy, STAY BLESSED!
Ooooooh, you so RIGHT, GURRRRRL! Thanks for your wisdom and love!!!
A few other things black women have naturally that you forgot are welfare checks, food stamps, 7 illegitimate children, a gold tooth, a pack of Newports, weaves, a refrigerator containing Kool Aid and 40's, and big a55es.
SHE GOT SOME ROCKIN JUGS
She ain't married until she sings.
CONGRATULATIONS, Sherri! Mr. Lamar must be something special as well as yourself! He asked your son for your hand in marriage! How sweet! There seems to be some haters doing what they ALWAYS do, HATING on the WONDERFUL ones! Guess what "IT'S SO NICE TO BE IMPORTANT, that's what I say when people criticize, condemn and try to belittle me". ITS SO NICE TO Be IMPORTANT! Ms. Ladt keep your head up and DON'T let ANYONE steal your JOY! Stay blessed!
Fat fat
I hate hate hate this piece of crap. She struts around like she is so gorgeous. Her breasts are so huge for her body I can hardly look at her. And she goes on and on about her life and her abortions. She says over and over that she was a Jehovahs Witness but she was never baptized into that religion. Her dad was and when he quit going she did. That's when she became wild and slept around getting pregnant every 6 months. She is so stupid, uneducated and lies about everything. I do hope she gets thrown off the view. I stopped watching when she came on it. I would like to watch again but not till she is out of there!
AMEN !!
Wow, your life must truly be a living hell if you hate someone – who doesn't even know you exist – THAT much. So what she had a bunch of abortions. Was it your uterus they sucked the fetus out of? Sherri's abortions are between HER and HER GOD. Why do you care what's going on between another woman's legs? You're a hypocrite, because if she'd had all those children and had to go on welfare, you'd be mad about that, too. You can't have it both ways.
Meanwhile, while you're hating her, she's become richer, thinner & happier, and is about to get married. What are you doing with your miserable excuse for a life?
Put some of that energy you're using to hate Sherri into something positive, and you might change your life for the better, and get too busy living a happy fulfilled life that you won't have time to hate people who don't know you exist.

Congratulations Sherry nd Jeffrey. I wish u all the best. B aware how much u revile on the show, cause there may b some jealously there 2. May u union B blessed by God this day nd goin forward.
Why in the hell do people have to be so miserable and ignorant?
Are you just mad because she found someone and you're just some unhappy and alone person?
Give the woman a break and shut up. Enough with the fat jokes.
Congets, you go girl how does feel to be a newylwed now?....

And GOD design marriage so its percious in his sight, so no matter what dont let a soul discourage u , put GOD first and the rest will fall in line. happy 4 u sherri:)
I wish nothing but happiness for Ms. Sheppard, and I also wish some of the previous commenters defending her would get engaged to a punctuation mark! Sheesh!

CONGRATULATIONS! What a great way to enjoy the view. Seems to be off to a splendid start. I love the fact he asked Jeffrey for permission to marry his mom now that's a stand up guy to include her son, whom she absolutely adores. Best wishes to you. I love the view and will be watching 1/10/11. How's that for the newlywed host!!
CONGRATS to MS Sherri. mAy you have a blessed union
There must be a god. Any host from that awful show getting married is nothing short of a miracle. How could any man deal with all that squawking?
Not to mention the oinking.

I don't know who this fat lady is or what the view is. Quite honestly I am dissapointed in the comunist news network because I was really looking for an article about how Sarah Palin is a bad person and stuff.
Keep on keepin on sheri may GOD bless u and your marriage.
FROM 1 fatty fat fat fat YOU GO GIRL NO BODY WANTS A BONE BUT A DOG GOD'S BLESSINGS!!!
Amen! And even a doggie likes a little meat left on the bone!!!! Good for her! She is a beautiful and smart woman. Haters should be quiet.
Haters be hating! My beotch has uh little meat on her bones an' I love her very much! all ye damn hood ratz..
I like Sherri. She is my favourite co-host on The View. Good for her! She has held out for some time and seems to make her son a priority.
She better not brag about the wedding plans while on the View. She'll get kicked off like Star Jones did.
Ignorant- adj.
Lack of knowledge... Unawareness. Uneducated.
did any of you have this as a vocab word in the sixth grade??? Even if you made it to 9th?
Fatty-Fat, Fat, Fat!

Mooooooooooo.
You jet sister! It iz nice ta congratulate peeps when dey git engaged. an dat boil on mah ass.
andrea: obviously someone who dozed off during English class.
What the hell is wrong with you Jan Michael Vincent for saying some ignorant crap like that?? I hope karma whups you bad!
Just call em like I see em. I promise you she's fallen in love with more than one food item.
Congrats Sherrie! I wish you the best!
Yuck! I'm not into women but if I were Scary Sherri would be the last woman I would choose. She is fatty-fat, fat-fat.
Well, I guess your just so gorgeous and thin that everybody wants you. I guess you can't catch a half decent man either.
i think s & m lincoln is a man..........
Different strokes for different folks. One man's trash is another man's treasure. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. Get my drift?
So, Sherri's not your type. Big whoop. You're not a lot of people's type, either. You may be thin on the outside, but you are very ugly on the inside to write what you wrote. Remember, what you reap you will sow.

Good Luck I hope all works out for you an that your heart an life be filled with Love God is Able keep your head up everybody should be Loved
I can't imagine any one wanted Sherri's dizzy azz. Any time you go on tv and tell the world you had 6 abortions tell me she's not right upstairs. I just hope she don't make the same mistakes as Star Jones. Star lost everything including her A-list New York party status over that gay boy.
Sherri isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but she does seem nice and she gives The View a nice dose of comic relief. Star Jones didn't go anywhere after the leaving The View because she got "too big for her britches" as my great-grandmother used to say. 🙂
Congratulations, best wishes and all that stuff, I can't wait until The View airs next week to hear it from your mouth with excitement.
CONGRATULATIONS, HOPE FOR THE BEST THE SECOND TIME AROUND. HOPE HE WILL LOVE UR CHILD LIKE HIS OWN. GOOD LUCK.
CONGRATULATIONS, HOPE FOR THE BEST THE SECOND TIME AROUND. HOPE HE WILL LOVE BOTH OF UR CHILD. GOOD LUCK.
Maybe she can get Prince to perform at her wedding. Now that she's married Prince doesn't have to worry about her jumping him like she almost did when Prince showed up unexpected a few weeks ago on The View! 😉
LOL!!!
Heh, she might still do that. 🙂
wheeee
