Thowdown on “The View”


“>

 

Looks like the head of the hen house is having difficulty keeping the rest of the chickens in line. 

On today’s episode of The View, Bill O’Rielly, compassionate, tolerant humanitarian that he is, explained that he’s against a Mosque being built near the World Trade Center because “Muslims killed us on 9/11″.

Whoopi and Joy both walked off the set while Barbara tried to restore order (both returned a short time later).  You just know Elisabeth Hasselbeck was loving every second of this.

Whoopi opens a can of whoop-ass on White House Party Crashers

 

I think Barbara Walters needs to come back to the hen house that is The View.  Things are starting to get out of control.

The latest indication was on yesterday’s show, when the White House Party Crasher/Real Housewives of DCcast-member Michaele Salahi and the rest of the cast were guests on the show.  Apparently, they were heatedly talking about a drink throwing episode when Whoppi (who was not interviewing them) came out on stage, touched Michaele’s shoulder and said “Excuse me, can you get back to the White House please?” 

As she started to walk away, Michaele turned to her responding “Oh if you’d like us to we can” (shown above).

After the segment was over,  Michaele and her husband Tareq (who was there with her but not on TV) ran to security in hysterics claiming she had been attacked physically.  When Whoopi got wind of the accusation, she went to confront them about it in person, with F-bombs flying all around.

SHOCKING!

A spokesminion for The View said “As the broadcast clearly shows, the accusation was completely unfounded. After being told she was being accused of hitting Ms. Salahi, Whoopi proceeded to defend herself verbally.”

There you have it folks, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the famewhore heir apparents to Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

Kathy Griffin 1 – Elizabeth Hasselbeck 0


“>
 

Guess they decided to book Kathy Griffin on The View while head hen Baba WaWa (Barbara Walters) is off recuperating from surgery.

Kathy was there yesterday to promote the new season of her reality series, My Life on the D-List.  Kathy’s taken pot shots at the ladies of The View before in her act, leaving resident shrill right wing harpy and sucky-baby Elizabeth Hasselbeck unimpressed and miffed.  (Apparently, it’s pretty easy to do).

The whole clip is priceless,  especially if you watch Elizabeth’s body language throughout.  An adult  co-host on a national talk show and she can barley filter her disdain.  Tsk tsk!  WWBS (What Would Barbara Say)?   The fun really starts at the 4:40 mark. 

LOVE watching Elizabeth, seeing which way the wind is blowing, completley back off and Sherri’s taunt to her as well.  It’s a shame that Whoopie’s away filming a movie, you just know she would have let Kathy finish Elizabeth off.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck says something dumb, apologizes, cries after


“>
 

Just when I was starting to feel a little less…irritated with Liz and her views too (usually the sound of her voice sends me running for the aspirin or the vodka) this happens.

Long (and stupid) story short.  After criticizing that Dancing with the Has-Beens contestant Erin Andrews outfits were too revealing for someone who just had seen her stalker go to prison on Tuesday’s episode of The View, and that her stalker could have avoided jail time had he just waited for her to be on the show, Hasselbeck got all emotional while apologizing for her words on Wednesday.

Hasselbeck was trashed for her comments in the media by Andrews, saying that they were “a slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators”.  Her dancing partner Maksim, called Hasselbeck “jealous” as well as “stupid”.

Don’t hold back Maks!  Tell us how you really feel.

Andrews went on to say in a segment on Access Hollywood last night that she didn’t need an apology from Hasselbeck.  Guess they’re off each others Christmas card lists now. 

Is it just me or does Hasselbeck always get weepy when she paints herself into a corner or into a war of words she can’t win?

still standing, still talking, still delusional

carrie-prejean-still-standing-book-pictures[1]She just refuses to let it go. Then again, it’s really all she’s got. Carrie Prejean, the disgraced beauty queen and solo sex-tape star, continued her “Opposite Marriage Supporter Victim-hood Tour” in support of her new book, Still Standing.

You know, every-time I see her she looks more and more crazy in the eyes. It’s beyond being passionate about what she’s blabbing on about (liberal conspiracies and her martyrdom), the woman is seriously deranged. 

When she dropped into the View this morning, the increasingly agitated and defensive Prejean started going on a tangent about her victimization at the hands of… well, everybody apparently.  Although she surprisingly does take responsibility for sending her then boyfriend a tape of herself masturbating when she was 17 (but also manages to blame it on her youth).

Elizabeth, of all people, actually pointed out that the reason the tape probably hasn’t been leaked (yet) is that since Prejean was 17 when she made it, distribution of it would be illegal due to child pornography laws.  I hate saying this, but Hasselbeck sometimes makes valid points (as few and far between as they are).

Joy joined most of the world when she told Prejean that she didn’t buy her victimhood stance, seeing as how she had entered the pageant and read the morals clause (inherant in all such things) so how could she not think some of her past choices weren’t going to come back to haunt her?

Barbara also reminded Prejean that while the way she had been treated (by some) was deplorable, she (Prejean) would also have to agree that the way she had been treated was also the best thing that’s ever happened to her. 

Talk about nailing it.  After all, no one really remembers the winners of these beauty pageants.  It’s always the ones embroiled in some sort of scandal that people remember. Prejean (Anita Bryant Version 2.0) will be milking her notoriety for as long as she can.
