Whoopi -- Will McCain Go All 1864 On My Ass?

Published | Updated

Whoopi Goldberg tried to bait Sen. John McCain into saying something stupid today on "The View" -- by wondering whether he would turn the White House into a plantation.

Awkward, awkward, awkward. As always, that kwazy Barbara Walters saved the awkward day with one of those hilarious race-imperialist quips that just kill.

The 52-year-old-Oscar-winner-turned-morning-talk-show-host knows it's all about matching your smokes to your footwear.

Smoking may kill, but it's the shoes that are murder.

Obama -- Brad's the Hot One in the Family

Published | Updated

The yentas of "The View" went all googly-eyed for Barack Obama on today's show, but it was Barbara Walters who really went there with Barack.

When asked about being Brad Pitt's ninth cousin, Obama said that Brad was the one who got the looks in the family -- Babwa disagreed, strongly. And then they had to go and talk about stuff like foreign policy and race relations and O-blah-blah-blah-ma ...

"View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck gave birth to a baby boy on Friday, ABC announced, but you're going to have to wait to find out the name. Can you stand it?

The conservative mouthpiece's son weighs in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces, but Hasselbeck is waiting to reveal the name until Monday -- when she'll call into "The View" and share the name with her friends and all of America. Is there no end to the excitement?

Hey, it's still sweeps.

Hasselbeck Ready to Pop

"View" fans take note: you've got less than a month with your beloved Elisabeth Hasselbeck before she goes on extended pregnancy leave.

To satiate your Hasselbeck desires, "The View" will have a series of celeb co-hosts in her place.

Mama Hasselbeck's a Hottie?

Published | Updated

Resident "View" arch-conservative and Barry Manilow's WFF, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, has dropped her righty facade to bare it all for Pregnancy magazine! Just kidding!

The soon-to-be mom did shoot these fully clothed pics for the November 2007 issue, and TMZ got a sneak peek, if you dare.

This will be the second child for the shrill chat brat. Who knew pregnant could look so, um, appealing?

Manilow's 'View' of Elisabeth 'It Didn't Feel Good'

Published | Updated

After he ditched "The View" -- or got ditched by them, depending on who you're talking to -- Barry Manilow and his face seemed to be unmoved by the uproar over his Hasselbeck boycott. And that's Barry in the picture here, not Babwa Walters.

Manilow's

TMZ caught up with the man of exactly one face after a rehearsal, and he told us that while he loved "all those people" at "The View," appearing with Elisabeth on the show "didn't feel good." Barry said he wouldn't appear on the show because he disagreed with what he deemed Hasselbeck's "dangerous" opinions.

Meanwhile, on today's show, Elisabeth wondered if, given recent studies about older men and younger women, she and Manilow couldn't get along down the road. Whoopi said that Barry had already agreed to be on "The View" again soon -- and we're presuming that means that Elisabeth will have to be there, too.

Babwa to Barry We've Got Hassel's Back

Published | Updated

"View" den mother Barbara Walters says that as much as she wanted Barry Manilow to come and croon, no one -- not even the "Mandy" singer -- tells her how to run her show!

Manilow told TMZ yesterday that he decided to ditch his appearance on today's "View," because as a close friend of Rosie O'Donnell, he didn't want to sit on the same stage as right-winger Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whose views he called "dangerous." Babwa, on her Sirius radio chatfest last night, said it was "too bad" about Barry's stand. Added co-executive producer Bill Geddie, "We don't do that ... we support everybody ... he's not going to call the shots."

Geddie also pointed out that lefty celeb political flamethrowers like Susan Sarandon and Jane Fonda have also appeared with Elisabeth, and it sure looked like everyone was having a pretty good time last November when Manilow appeared on the show.

Barry to Elisabeth: Your 'View' is Dangerous

Published | Updated

UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that it's not Barry who's writing this song -- in fact, "View" producers pulled the plug on Manilow's performance when his people demanded that he appear on the show without Elisabeth. Manilow has in fact performed on the show twice before -- both last year -- when Hasselbeck's been co-hosting.

TMZ has learned that legendary singer Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on "The View" tomorrow -- because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative view! Paging Rosie O'Donnell!

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her." Barry, taking a stand!

Manilow is currently on a press tour promoting the release of his new album, "Greatest Songs of the Seventies."

A network spokesman had no comment.
