Sofia Vergara left viewers shocked after making an ill-advised “rape joke” on live television.

The Colombian-born screen star – who was romantically linked to Tom Cruise in 2005 – tried to make light of her youthful appearance on American TV’s The View.

One presenter expressed surprise that Sofia, 37, dubbed ‘Sofia Viagra’ for her effect on certain men, was old enough to have an 18-year-old son.

Host Sherri Shepherd said: “And also, you’re a single mum of a teenage son – who’s 18?!

“You look so good!”

She said: “I cannot lie about my age because they count.”

As viewers saw a photo of her with son Manolo Gonzalez, host Sherri said: “What? Did you have him when you were 12?”

Laughing, she replied: “Thirteen. I was raped.”

Another of the show’s presenters, veteran reporter Barbara Walters, looked stony-faced as Sofia made the remark.

And Whoopi Goldberg, who also hosts the daytime talk show, appeared shocked at the comment.

Jonas Brothers are officially set to appear on Barbara Walters’ Oscar special! Other guests will include Mickey Rourke, Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman. Be sure to tune in Feburary 22nd at 7pm on ABC to catch the intimate interview with Kevin, Joe and Nick.

Interviews are what Hollywood celebrities hog on, at least most of them barring a few. But actor Patrick Swayze who has acted in movies like ‘Ghost’ will be giving his first interview to Barbara Walters since the actor announced he was battling pancreatic cancer last year.

Walters has already done that interview with the actor wherein she conducted an in-depth chat with the star, which will air on January 7. Both Patrick Swayze & Barbara Walters are old friends and Barbara Walters she first interviewed Swayze for a TV special eight years ago. This time the two met up at Swayze’s ranch outside Los Angeles.

Patrick Swayze is amongst my most admired Hollywood actors. He has shown grace & courage through this ordeal and it is inspiring to see a person as wonderful as him show his strong side and humor at such a time when his life and health hangs in the balance.

Great attitude Swayze, it is the only way to come out of such a devastating blow.
I pray for a speedy recovery….Get well soon

No, she didn’t lose it on the show. Instead, Whoopi Goldberg’s emotional moment came Monday morning as she cohosted The View.

As the ladies discussed the Oscars montage of important moments from past shows, Whoopi teared up when it was pointed out that she was left out. Whoopi was a former Oscar winner and the first black person to host the awards show.

Joy Behar said, “Where were you?” Whoopi mentioned that they also left out Steve Martin, and Barbara Walters pointed out that she was shown in another montage for past winners. Whoopi remarked, “Undoubtedly, I pissed somebody off once again.” WaWa said, “We think you’re a great host.”
