Elisabeth Hasselbeck Doesn't Want People To Practice What She Preaches
Today is Veterans Day, and the ladies of The View wanted to pay their respects to those in uniform, past and present. Joy Behar said that she was pissed off that the holiday — and the issues surrounding the war in Iraq — were not on the front pages of any of the major newspapers. She talked about the number of men and women killed in the war (both Iraqi and American) and complained that we're still pumping so much money into what seems to be a pointless fight. And that's when Hasselbeck flipped her lid. She literally said that Joy should not be airing grievances because it's disrespectful toward the men and women who are supposedly fighting for the freedom…to speak our minds. Clip above. -

Sarah Haskins Targets The View
We've been so busy around here, we haven't had a chance to get to the new Target: Women video! Sarah Haskins calls the ladies of The View a "living, breathing, real-time focus group." Plus, they do what what women love to do: Talk. "Sometimes, they talk all at once!" But Haskins understands: "Democracy's messy like that." Since Joy Behar hearts Obama and Elisabeth Hasselbeck is in the tank for McCain, guess who represents the undecided voters of America? Hint: The one who thinks the earth is flat. Clip above!

SNL's Seth Meyers Answers To The Ladies Of The View
Seth Meyers, Weekend Update anchor and head writer for Saturday Night Live, was on The View this morning, which must have been a little nerve-wracking for him, since SNL did a View sketch this weekend, in which Kristen Wiig played a hysterically hysterical, "fact" finding Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Kenan Thompson played Whoopi, Fred Armisen nailed Joy Behar's wrist movements, and Casey Wilson played Jennifer Aniston, who was supposed to be sitting in for Sherri Shepherd, which led Sherri to ask Seth if the SNL producers had run out of black people. Clip above, and after the jump, the sketch from SNL. More » -
Loose Lips
Sherri Shepherd is telling people to ignore the rumors of strife between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar propagated by an "unnamed source." Says Sherri, "Wherever you are, Unnamed Source, I hope they're paying you some good money to do all the lying you're doing. I hope you're able to pay that rent with the $50 they're giving you…I'm so mad at Unnamed Source." • William Balfour, the estranged boyfriend of Jennifer Hudson's sister and the main suspect behind the murder of Hudson's brother, mother, and nephew, has already been caught in a lie by the Chicago police. According to TMZ, in addition to that lie, Balfour's current girlfriend has contradicted his alibi. Balfour is still in police custody. • Angelina Jolie made a surprise appearance to honor Clint Eastwood at last night's Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala. How surprise was it? The crowd "gasped audibly" when her name was introduced.

Joy Behar Did Not Tell Off Elisabeth Hasselbeck Yesterday
There were some heated words between Joy and Elisabeth on yesterday's episode of The View, which later got blown into a big "fight of the century" thing, replete with quotes from aan anonymoustipster regarding a backstage blowup between the co-hosts. Today, the ladies said that the fight never happened, and insisted that there's no bad blood between them because they leave all their arguments at the table. Also, Joy says that she sticks up for Elisabeth when people say they don't like her. We're thinking that might happen an awful lot. Clip above. More » -

John McCain Goes Through A Gauntlet Of Tough Broads On The View
People are always dismissing The View as just a bunch of yammering biddies. First of all, to assume that a group of women sitting around the table wouldn't have conversations that hold any weight or substance is ridiculous. The debates they have are important because the ideas expressed represent a cross section of American opinion. Today the ladies interviewed John McCain, and it was arguably some of the toughest grilling he's faced so far. Barbara called bullshit on his assertion that Sarah Palin is the "greatest" vice presidential candidate in history, and pressed him for specifics on how she will reform the government. Joy told him that she hopes "old John McCain" will come back if he's elected and the GOP doesn't have him "by the short hairs." Whoopi grilled him on the separation of church and state. But most surprising was that his biggest cheerleader, Elisabeth, wanted answers on his policy concerning Roe v. Wade. Clip above. More » -

What Is A Slut? The Ladies Of The View Weigh In
Whereas many adults are all worried about "kids these days" and the supposed over-sexualization of our culture, I'm actually worried about this whole abstinence-only trend being touted by Wal-Mart, evangelical right-wingers, and all these promise-ring proponents. I just think that nothing good can come from being ashamed of natural physical maturation and desires. And I also really hate the idea, expressed by Jordin Sparks last night during the VMAs, that people who have sex at all are sluts. On The View today, Elisabeth Hasselbeck unsurprisingly lauded Jordin, which led the panelists to have a conversation about what exactly it means to be a slut. My favorite was Joy Behar's: "If it's not boring, then you're a slut." Clip above. More » -

The Ladies Of The View Lightly Bicker Over Sarah Palin, Teen Pregnancy
A lot has happened since the ladies of the The View went on hiatus earlier this summer, and ABC producers must have been wetting themselves that the premiere of the show's 12 season coincided with the announcement that McCain's VP pick, Sarah Palin, will soon be a grandmother. Elisabeth was in full support of Gov. Palin, whom she says is more qualified to run the country than Obama, as was Sherri. (Whoopi, for the most part, kept quiet). As for Joy, she said "you can't trade a vagina for another vagina." Above is a clip of what's sure to be the first of a daily fight about politics. More » -
Even though they're on live TV together all the time, the ladies of The View just recently sat down for their first official portrait. Although she frequently guest co-hosted, Sherri Shepherd wasn't added to the cast until well into the 11th season, and apparently, the gang never bothered to go back and re-shoot the group shot. We always accept that Whoopi is gonna be sporting her own style of awful, but what's up with Hasselbeck's prom dress? They usually put her in all the cute stuff. [People]
