The View "Hot Topics" - November 24, 2008
This morning on The View, the ladies talked about a number of things including politics, of course.  Whoopi Goldberg brought up the fact that some people have suggested that President Bush should step aside immediately and let president-elect, Barack Obama, take over.  Obama isn’t supposed to take over until January, which is the traditional transition, but some people want to do away with this waiting period and just get things started now.  One good argument against this is that Oba

Tyler Perry’s Big Weekend Marred by WGA Complaint

Tyler Perry Studios is located behind Magic Johnson theaters in the Greenbrier Mall area. The studio actually opened last year, but Perry decided to expand the facility without obtaining the proper permits from the city. After a little back and forth with the city and some bad press in the local rag, the revamped studio will host the likes of Oprah Winfr

Elizabeth Hasselbeck leaving The View?
All is not going that well on The View.  Elizabeth Hasselbeck, he only political conservative on the panel, is fed up with her very liberal co-hots Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar over the Presidential election. After a well publicized spat with former co-host Rosie O’Donnell that often created an uncomfortable show to watch and an incident earlier this year where Hasselbeck broke down over the use of the N-word it is easy to see why she isn’t happy.  She is the easy target for the more establis

Talking About Beyoncé's Shaving Habits Is The Pits [Dirt Bag]
Okay, so they're saying Beyoncé had a little armpit hair at the Cadillac Records premiere. 1) Who cares? 2) Can you even see it? [Mirror] A reader points out you can barely see Beyoncé's pit hair in Perez's pictures, though on TMZ, her pits seem especially hirsute. Photoshop of horrors? [Perez Hilton, TMZ] Surely when Kanye West said that Beyoncé is "just as great, if not greater, than artists we had in the past. She’s probably greater than Tina Turner," he had not seen this.

Hottest Hollywood Scab Tyler Perry Gives In, Opens Studio to WGA [Labor Pains]

The Guild sends word today that it reached an agreement with Perry after five months of negotiations, during which a handful of veteran scribes for his series Meet the Browns and House of Payne were terminated f

The Star Report: If Ted Nugent were president — guns, war, more guns; plus, Madonna, Britney Spears, Tyra Banks
As the election season draws to a close, it's good to finally have some words of wisdom — or of unbridled craziness, depending on your political leanings — from Ted "Where's My Gun?" Nugent. He's written a book called "Ted, White and Blue" that outlines what his platform would look like if he ever ran for president, which he won't. Among other endeavors, he'd defund health care for smokers and obese people, implement the death penalty for first-time drug dealing offenses and send chronically ou

The View December 4th Recap: Harry Connick Jr, Marlo Thomas, Drake Bell and Josh Peck
Today on The View, all five hosts were present. There was not a single hot topic today. And I don’t just mean that the topics were not “hot.” I mean that during the “hot topics” segments they did nothing but plug a special and their books. Oh and Elisabeth Hasselbeck “whole-heartedly” apologized for her previous comments about Deepak Chopra. The first topic was (gasp!) Barbara Walters’s Most “Fascinating” People special which airs tonight (which means that they can stop talking abou

This comment, er, incensed some Indians, who saw it as a potential slur.The furor prompted Elisabeth to make amends on today's show, but in the most hurried, sneaky way possible.

Kevin Federline, the former back-up dancer who received instant fame after marrying Britney Spears, fathered her two children and then split with the pop phenom in 2006, is just a misunderstood man.
