Hey Whoopi, Joy, Sherri, and Barbara: leave Elisabeth alone!
Filed under: OpEd, Daytime, Celebrities, Talk Show, Reality-FreeI don't know if the rumors about View host Elisabeth Hasselbeck going to Fox News Channel are true or not (Hasselbeck and the show deny it), but at this point I wouldn't blame her one bit. Hasselbeck has had a lot of battles on the show with her co-hosts, from Rosie O'Donnell months ago to Barbara Walters. But today was the day I actually felt bad for her. The group was talking about the election, and how nasty the election could soon get in t

'The View' Spat Watch: Day Three
You guys? I have a problem. I wake up every morning watching the clock and waiting for it to strike 11 so I can experience the latest explosion on The View. Each episode over the past week has been like a ticking time bomb, with the ladies' hatred for Elisabeth Hasselbeck growing stronger. Today was another argument over Barack Obama's ties to "American terrorist" Bill Ayers — and, once again, Sherri Shepherd stepped in and gave Elisabeth a huge smackdown (around the 2:15 mark), causin

We Didn't Start The View Fire
Does it strike anyone else as a bit odd that the most spirited political discussion these days is coming for those five overly percolated women on The View? Sure, Bab's show has always been fun to watch, in that "what would Sex and the City be like if they were all old and didn't like each other and not everyone was white" sort of way, but never before this election show actually contained something resembling a serious political discourse that is being as closely monitered in the papes

The View October 7th Recap: Sarah Silverman and Gretchen Mol
Today on The View, Joy Behar returned, so all five hosts were present. She was in San Antonio, Texas to give a speech yesterday. George W. Bush was at the airport and she took a picture of Air Force One. Today is Joy’s birthday and she said she never mentions it on the show. She joked that she is 10 years younger than whatever her publicized age is. Barbara Walters also did not have her birthday mentioned on the show, but truck drivers still told her “Happy Birthday!” Tonight is the

Hasselbeck: 'This Is Not About Smearing'
Here's the video from today's episode of The View that we were talking about earlier. Elisabeth Hasselbeck got in on the political discussion with some new talking points from her friends at FOX News, all but calling Barack Obama a terrorist. This angered the ladies (minus Joy Behar, who was disappointingly absent) — even prompting Whoopi to nearly curse on the air. Instead, Sherri and Barbara attempted to reason with her while controlling their rage, which is entertaining in itself after last w

Elizabeth Hasselbeck Leaving the “View” for Fox News…Maybe
If you have ever seen ‘The View’ you know that Elisabeth Hasselbeckis a VERY staunch republican. The View co-host is denying that she’s getting ready to leave the show for a position at Fox News Channel. Barbara Walters, executive producer of ‘The View,’ considers Elisabeth to be ‘vital to the program’. “While Elisabeth [Hasselbeck] has a [...]

'The View' Spat Watch: Day Two
Sherri Shepherd, bless her heart, reared her slightly empty head today on The View to stand up to resident crazy Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The ladies' Friday show was pretaped, so today they threw in extra chirping about Thursday night's debate. Can you guess who Elisabeth thought did the best job? She tried to convince the other women, which is when Sherri "I haven't thought about whether the earth is flat or round" Shepherd got riled up and spewed some semi-coherent thoughts for the f

The View October 3rd Recap: Anne Hathaway and Troy Dunn
The first topic was that a new edition of The Joy of Sex is coming out. It claims that women don’t care what shape a man is in. Whoopi said that we do care, but won’t talk about it. Sherri said that we will take a belly or thinning hair, because we care about the inside. Joy said thinning hair, but not morbid obestity. Elisabeth said women care mare about closeness, while men need to be turned on more. Whoopi said that when you can’t breathe, you need to tell him to lose weight. Late

Sherri went apeshit on Hasselbeck this morning. After the right-wing weirdo sprouted off on her daily rant against Senator Barack Obama.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Keeps Pissing Off Barbara Walters [View Askew]
newVideoPlayer("/view10608_jez_512K.flv", 475, 270,""); Today was the first day that The View was back on the air, live, since Thursday's vice-presidential debate between Biden and Palin. As expected, the ladies are all worked up about the election, and today they discussed the smear campaign McCain's camp has launched against Obama, trying to link him with radical activist Bill Ayers. Elisabeth Hasselbeck was trying her best to interrupt people as they were talking until she finally got her turn to insist

HASSELBECK CAUSES ANOTHER 'VIEW' ERUPTION: Whoopi, Sherri and even Barbara take issue with her obsession over William Ayers.
*With Barack Obama's link to '60s radical Bill Ayers back in the news thanks to a concerted effort by John McCain's campaign, "The View's" resident Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck used the opportunity to pile on.       A heated exchange Monday morning took place after co-host Barbara Walters, asked Hasselbeck if it was wise for both sides to engage in "smears."       Hasselbeck snapped, "No," and went on to criticize what she called "Obama's radical c

Bill Maher Recommends Insane Asylum for Sherri Shepherd on 'View' Appearance Gone Awry [Where's Your God Now?]
After Bill Maher sat down with TV Guide last month to rip into Sherri Shepherd's religious beliefs, we figured his days of guesting on The View had been put firmly behind him. Imagine our surprise, then, when some crafty producer booked Maher for a slot on today's View to promote his new (to the world outside Claremont) film, the controversial, religion-debunking Religulous. Would sparks fly? Lord, yes. Things came to a head at the end of Maher's segment, when Shepherd asked the skeptical Maher whether h

'The View': Post-Fight Update
Here's the thing about The View that really annoys me (and no, it's not the ladies' constant competition to see who can squawk the loudest): Just when the show is getting good, the producers put the kibosh on it. After yesterday's fight heard 'round the Internet, the ladies came back from commercial break with a completely different topic. Look, Whoopi, we don't care how much you hate going to the dentist — we want to hear more of Elisabeth's inane tirades. So it should

The View October 2nd Recap: Greg Kinnear, Kim Kardashian, and Mark Ballas
Today on the October 2nd episode of The View, it was the four main co-hosts and no Barbara Walters. The first topic was Joy Behar’s continued annoyance with people peeing on the bathroom seat at the studio. Sherri Shepherd thinks someone is trying to get at her and is doing it on purpose. Joy made some signs to hang up like “Don’t Pee Where You Sit,” “I Won’t Take This Sitting Down” and “Aim or Die.” The other hosts are scared to use the bathroom bec

Elisabeth Is Booed, Told Off By Barbara
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I watch The View morning after morning in hopes of witnessing something amazing. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the moron who gives Republicans everywhere a bad name, had a minor meltdown during the show's first segment today. She was so beyond help that not even Barbara Walters came to her rescue. The topic, of course, was the idiocy of Sarah Palin, which turned into another session of Elisabeth spouting off nonsensical remarks to defend her beloved McCain/Palin ticket. After

Sherri Shepherd Got Smacked with the Smart Stick
Who knew that nearly a year of Elizabeth Hassleback could make a woman who was one of the most embarrassing Negroes of 2007, relentlessly state her case and saying the one thing mainstream media refuses to mention -- Sen. McCain abandoning his first wife for Cindy McCain. The past couple days of The View Hassleback has been ranting that Sen. Obama is a terrorist. I'm convinced Fox News gives her talking points for each segment. Babara Walters tried to calm things by saying we should focus on the issues, bu
