Lots of fail: Mischa Barton does The View

Duncan Riley — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 07:38:43 +0000

Troubled actress Mischa Baron appeared on The View Friday and managed to deliver an interview that only confirmed the train wreck rumors.

Mischa described her hospitalization as “silly” and insists the whole thing was “blown out of proportion.” When Barbara Walters pointed out she was in the psych ward Mischa blamed dental work.

“Right, I mean, it was just … I was overwhelmed,” Mischa said. “I had too much work going on. I had a surgery for my wisdom teeth that went really badly. I had been in the hospital. I had two surgeries on my wisdom teeth. I had four taken out and they had gotten it really badly wrong. They had to drill into my jaw and I was just in really excruciating pain.”

“I had an infection and a dry socket and I woke up on a Sunday morning and there was no doctor available,” she continued. “I was trying to take the minimum amount of pain killers and get through it because I had to go to work soon and I was getting ready to go do this show, ‘The Beautiful Life,’ and meanwhile I still had a schedule to travel. I was going to Europe. I was going to London. I had things to do and I was prepping to do photo shoots and I was just overwhelmed. I had so much work to do and the surgery had gone so badly for me. And I think that I was just starting to feel completely overwhelmed. It was just too much to have this surgery go so wrong.”

Elisabeth Hasselbeck sued for plagiarism

Duncan Riley — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:11:38 +0000

The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being sued by a woman who is claiming she plagiarized her book about celiac disease.

Susan Hasset claims that Hasselbeck’s new book “The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide” infringed on her copyrights for her own book “Living With Celiac Disease.” Hasset claims she sent Hasselbeck a copy of her book in April of last year. Hasselbeck suffers from Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder linked to gluten proteins in wheat, barley and rye.

A spokesman for Hasselbeck said that the claims are unfounded and that the suit would be vigorously defended.

Round Two: Heidi and Spencer on The View (video)

Duncan Riley — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:15:51 +0000

Fresh from their roasting this morning in “Al Roker vs Speidi,” Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt decided to go for a second round on daytime talk show The View.

The View ladies were a little bit kinder to Speidi, but mostly to allow the pair to keep on talking, because ultimately they couldn’t match it when it came to talking complete rubbish.

Asked if they thought they were the most famous celebrities on the planet, Spencer replied, “Obama is tied with Speidi right now. If we lived in the White House, maybe we’d be number one.” But because one Obama reference wasn’t enough, Spencer that he didn’t belong on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, because the other people on the show weren’t real celebrities, and outside of President Obama and Jesus Christ, he’s the biggest celebrity around.

Heidi though wasn’t quiet, telling the ladies that her decision to appear in Playboy made her a “modern” version of Mother Teresa.

If you can stomach it, here’s the Heidi and Spencer on The View video:

Glenn Beck appears on The View, gets called a “Lying Sack Of Dog Mess”

Duncan Riley — Wed, 20 May 2009 23:43:42 +0000

Fox News’ wunderkid Glenn Beck appeared on The View today and without any great surprise managed to get the mostly liberal hosts fired up.

The highlight (or lowlight) of Beck’s appearance came in a dispute about a train trip. Beck claimed on radio recently that he had been pushed aside by Amtrak employees catering for Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg, which both claim isn’t true. But there’s disagreeing, and then there’s disagreeing with Whoopi, who called Beck a “lying sack of dog mess.”

I’m no Beck fan, but seriously, an argument about a train trip? Surely there was more important things they could have discussed with Beck. Here’s the Glen Beck on The View video.

Lil’ View video hits The View right on the head

Duncan Riley — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 05:47:26 +0000

Spike Feresten, host of Fox’s Talkshow and previously a SNL writer has popped up at Funny or Die to produce Lil’ View.

The video takes a piss out of The View with completely accuracy, only with little people.

Here’s Lil’ View:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Pregnant (video)

The View’s resident ~~house nazi~~ Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck is pregnant with her third child.

Elisabeth and husband Tim Hasselbeck are already parents to 3 year old Grace and 1 year old Taylor.

“We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it. I didn’t even know for two months — I was walking around — I thought I had — I kept saying, ‘Electionitis, electionitis.’

“I was tired, I was nauseous, I thought I was worn out from the whole procedure. NO! I was knocked up and didn’t realize it.”

Here’s the Obama is a terrorist lover Elisabeth Hasselbeck making the announcement on The View:

Rod Blagojevich on The View: I’m Innocent (video)

Duncan Riley — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:29:15 +0000

Disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich hit the talk shows today just as the hearing to impeach him started in Chicago.

Along with an appearance on the Today Show, where he claimed among other things that he considered appointing Oprah to Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, he appeared on The View to protest his innocence.

Here’s the Rod Blagojevich on The View video:

Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford on The View (video)

Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford appeared on The View Tuesday to talk about the show and what they’re up to. One of the first questions is whether they were just living together, or a couple, and followed with a discussion about English accents.

Fluffy, but fans will enjoy. Here’s the Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford on The View video:

Ann Coulter on The View Video

Duncan Riley — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:02:43 +0000

Right wing pundit Ann Coulter appeared on The View today, with predictable results. I think I even heard Mein Kampf mentioned. I’ll give Coulter credit though: she seems to have no shame in promoting her book anywhere and everywhere she can, even in hostile territory.

Here’s the Ann Coulter The View video:

Joy Behar says home schooled kids are demented

Samantha DeWitt — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:59:23 +0000

Joy Behar, of the view has enraged the American home school community, by suggesting that many of the kids who are home schooled end up being “demented”. She also said that home schooling at the White House would like “little house on the prairie”.

The issue came up during a discussion about whether Obama’s girls should be educated at private or public schools. Skip to the 7 minute mark to miss the inane conversation and get to the comments made on home schooling.

Behar normally has quite progressive views, although she isn’t afraid to offend people and push the envelope. Her Wikipedia page says

Behar favors taxpayer-funded embryonic stem-cell research and also legalizing same-sex marriage, among other traditionally liberal positions. She has expressed her opposition to the war in Iraq and her dislike of Medicare’s coverage of Viagra prescriptions. Behar recently referred to the Bush administration as “liars and murderers”.[4] When Fox News show host Bill O’Reilly contentiously claimed on The View that it was a mistake for Rosie O’Donnell to come out as gay and predicted that both her career and Ellen DeGeneres’s would spiral downward because of it, Behar challenged this view. She replied that “someone has to take those risks [in order for there to be change in society].

Given that the outrage has been minimal, clearly saying homeschooled kids are demented is not as bad as saying that wearing a baby in a sling can hurt your back. Come on Motrin Moms, isn’t this offensive too?

Whoopi. . . Not the Biggest Fan of Denise

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 22 May 2008 00:21:40 +0000

Talkshow The View has turned out to be a secret hotbed of cattiness– whoever called this show “light” is seriously mistaken. As we say again today– with the fury only reminiscent of last year’s political issues. At least it wasn’t host-on-host this time.

Denise Richards was the guest today on The View, where she managed to totally infuriate Whoopi Goldberg in short time. She may have been on to talk about “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated” and her post-Charlie life, but Whoopi touched on another sensitive subject: her children and the fact that they’re “exposed” on a reality TV show. Denise maintained that she’s a “work at home” mom and can make a living while still being with her children, but Whoopi had other ideas about her new venture:

But [your kids are] there. These are little kids. If you want to keep them private, to keep your life private, do you not think this is a little extreme to open it up? You’re going through this huge thing and I just wonder if the timing might not be great.

Hey, at least somebody said it. Denise’s mission of proving that she’s not a homewrecker is playing second fiddle now. Bet her publicist looooves that!
