Barbara Walters Was Doing Damage Control! Elisabeth Hasselbeck IS Getting Fired From The View!

Well, whattya know?
Guess Elisabeth Hasselbeck will still be getting the heave-ho from The View, after all!
Just not as quickly as Barbara Walters would have originally liked, apparently!
According to sources close to the long-running talk series, the iconic journalist was LIVID when news leaked about her conservative co-host's impending exit, and to attempt damage control, went on air last week to deny the reports!
“ABC is desperate to freshen up the show. Dumping Joy Behar, who was there 16 years, and Hasselbeck would be the fastest way to do it, they decided. After giving Behar the bad news last week and letting her bow out gracefully, someone leaked the Hasselbeck thing. Some enemies she has on the show saw their chance to get back at her. Barbara was spitting mad that it got mishandled.”
Therefore, Elisabeth will stick around for longer than originally expected, but sources are certain that at some point in the near future, she'll be "toast!"
Guess Babs gets what Babs wants, after all!
But hey! As we've stated before, we think this is the perfect time to re-vamp the series, and if the rumors are true that Brooke Shields will soon be coming in, then we think it's definitely an indication that as far as The View is concered, these times they are a-changin'!
What do U think?? Is it time for Elisabeth to go??

Great news. It was ok if she was a little nutty since she WAS hot, but she's getting a little long in the tooth and they need someone new in the young/hot seat.
No it's not a good idea. Elizabeth offers a lot to the show. It's cool they get her husband as a host during Super Bowl. I like her, However, I'm not fond of Brooke Sheilds. Bad move.
so Baba Wawa was lying.
I don't buy it. I'll probably be eating crow, but it just doesn't make sense to me. The View started it all. "The Talk" didn't just come up with that name for the heck of it. The View has always had a different take on it all, and I really doubt that it's all Elisabeth's fault. Even if she is getting fired, I doubt it is Barbara's doing.
I heard Joy really did get fired by Barbara because she was the one who leaked the name of the actor who gave Barbara the chicken pox and that they let her save face by saying she was leaving the show on her own. Elizabeth has got to go! She is so annoying.
OMG FINALLY!!! Now I can watch again. About time….
Re: thatgirlblogs – this maybe because I just saw Oz, but I can not get the song "Ding Dong The Witch is Gone" I too can watch watch the show now!
They're all annoying, but Joy was probably the worst. Barbara, in spite of her age, is still the star power on the show. Her resume & 'inside' knowledge of how things work is remarkable. The show lacks a certain panache, jine se quois when Barbara Wawa is absent. Sherry is still a wannabe, & Whoopie is just, well, Whoopie. Don't know who they need, but I'm pretty sure it's not Brooke. Maybe someone like Katie, Ann Curry, refined but knowledgeable. Flipside, Chelsea Handler?
I stopped watching the show because it's boring. They really don't care about their hot topics and the authenticity is gone. Joy makes jokes about everything, Whoopi is just there for a paycheck and moves to the next topic, Sherri talks about her son all the time, Elisabeth constantly talks about her gluten free diet & her republican views, and Barbara talks about herself all the time.
Why do I think Joy Behar leaked the story. Frankly, I stopped watching it after Rosie left. They all talk at the same time. Kathie Lee and Hoda come on at the same time in my area. We would rather watch them drink wine and spread some cheer. The View gals are rude to most of their guests too. ABC should cancel the show.
Re: mrsg13 – who was the actor?
Barbara is way past it and to be honest maybe they should all learn to listen to the others point of view when talking nothing worse than when everyone talks at once. I think that Barbara and Elisabeth should go but then again Sherri has over stayed her time as well.
I would love to like Elizabeth, she can be really great on the show, but sometimes its hard to like her when she is eye rolling and rude to Joy. She comes off as too snarky and catty sometimes. But there is no denying, she is beautiful and fashionable. I say they keep her but make her be a bit more humble.
Yes she should be going and it should have been done a long time ago, Her died in the wool "I am right crap "is just that and her crying if she can't have her way and she insults people they have on there as guests? She acts like she 14 and plays this devoted mom who is never home but is on that stage. She needs to go home and take care of her kids. Give the world a break please, I too am a republican but just becaue I am does not mean every thing the party does is right because it isn;t and she goes bananas if someone says they did something wrong . It is time for Barb to take a hike too because she treats those women like kids and it is no wonder Joy and Whoopie are sick of it.,
i can just imagine her face all screwed up with rage all red like a demoness frozen in time
nothing worse then barbara scorned
With Elisabeth going by by maybe it a good time to give a seat to Kathy Griffin.
Re: lottamerde –
The sooner Elizabeth goes the better she is nothing but a pain in the ar***se

kathy d lister griffin? no way. might as well call it the springer show then. ick!
Barbara is the one that should go. She never lets anyone speak and takes so long to get to the point, that we forget what she is talking about. That's how you freshen up the show!
I enjoyed it when she was gone for 6 weeks.
Glad to see the repulsive Joy Behar get the heave-ho. With Elizabeth gone, will never have to watch this hen party again.
That's good that she's going because who cares about hearing opposing opinions. I honestly think if someone disagrees with Obama or the Democratic Party they should be silenced. It's what America is all about. We need to listen to Obama and celebrities like Jay Z because they know what real life is like. They know what it's like to not be on government assistance, make 24k per year (in NJ), going back to school, and paying for your own healthcare. Oh wait, they don't.
Sick and tried of Elisabeth and i tuned out years ago. Love Joy and Whoopie, but Elisabeth ruins the show and my day. Tuned back in for seconds to hear she's staying and quickly tuned out again. I just don't get her brand of rudeness!
She always looked liked she had a stick up her ass and liked it.
I'm so glad. She's so out of touch and over the top, even though I love how she gave it back to Rosie when confronted. Joy, she showed her chops when on CNN, loved her, hope she gets back to it.
Re: debtee – I have said the same many times. Why does everyone have to bow down to the ol" crypt keeper. "Oh, go ahead Barbara" they all say if she wants to butt in and say something. I would love to hear one of them say "Excuse me bitch, I'm talking now, you'll get your turn when I'm done." I won't watch when she is on, can't stand the ol' crow. BABA WAWA.
The View is stale and isn't that interesting anymore, but the blame goes to Bill Geddie & Barbara Walters, not the co-hosts. The View needs NEW producers who aren't OUT OF TOUCH, who can breath fresh new innovative ideas into the show. I've been watching The View everyday for 7 years but if Elisabeth's contract isn't renewed then I'm no longer a fan of The View and won't be watching anymore
old lady barbara walters should have been the first to go.
Re: BlueStormRising –
I couldn't agree more! and when Barbara talks with her hands it like they're going to break..ugh!
Who are these two OLD HAGS?
Bad move. They need to keep a Conservative on there to balance things out. I can't stomach the loony liberal witches. Of course the lobs are the ugly ones.
Asta la pasta Elizabithc…….
The only reason I sometimes watch the show is b/c of Elizabeth. She makes it kind of balanced. I hate that its ok if soomeone has a far left view, but if someone is on the right side, they must go. That is how the entertainment industry is though.
Hasselbeck is the only one on the show with any common sense, that show is outdated and shitty
CHEAP MEDIA TRICKS, ELIZABETH WONT BE FIRED, SHE IS THE ONE ON THE PANEL THAT IS DISCUSSED MORE THAN ANY OF THE REST. THE SHOW NEEDS PROMOTION
I watch mostly and only for Joy's one liners, and watching Elizabeth blow a gasket can be amusing. She's also a quick study, and is more open minded than some might think.
Elizabeth will have no trouble finding a home on Fox or somewhere if this rumor has merit.
Whoopie ushers the segments in and out well enough, and is chill and has some sense.
Barbara brings in the older folks, knows t.v. decorum and adds some gravitas.
Sherri is just plain fun, but she's sharp.
Elizabeth has no credentials. She is not a journalist or a comedienne. I do not know how she ever got to do THe View. SHe is very opinionated which is important, but she thinks she is smarter than she is.
There is a god!! I am so over Elizabeth and her "holier than thou" smug attitude. I hate when she feels the need to talk over people, for the longest I have wanted to b^thc slap her! I would rather see Megan McCain in the position if they are going for the conservative point.
Elisabeth claimed to be patriotic but was so anti-Obama that she seemed scary. She talked more like a tea-partier than a Republican. I think they can do better.
Re: judiskipa – You are right. Barbara should go. When she was out sick the show was much better. She disrupts the flow with her stupid, pointless stories. But it is her show so they are stuck with her.
Re: debtee – RIGHT ON!!!
That great! Ive been wating for Elisabeth to leave since she first began there. Her voice is annoying and everything that she says is so Republican she denies to say that shes wrong even when the majority of the country tells her otherwise. Im sad about Joy leaving though. I love The View - DEFINITELY LOVE WHOOPI - but Elisabeth makes me cringe when she expresses her "educated" opinions. I dont mind people expressing there opinions about things, that's the whole point of the View, but when you dont even try to understand the other side of that opinion makes me believe she hasnt learned a lot over her tenure there.
EVEN if I had time to watch this show….because believe it or not some people gotta work to make money; I would never watch these kackling hens.
Brooke Shields is getting a little long in the tooth so not sure how she's going to freshen the show. I say shut the damn thing down. The whole show is old and tired.
I have extremely happy that Miss Perkyness will soon exit the view. LONG OVERDUE. Elizabeth needs to fade away. Maybe be the founder of a home for unwed Lesbian mothers.
Title suggestion "Hasselsnatch House".
I'm just sayin…..
She's brainless. Good riddance.
They do need a conservative voice on the show, but get one with brains and not a parrot for Faux News. How about Kathleen Parker, the columnist? She is conservative but she is also intelligent. I don't always agree with her views but I always respect how she expresses them.
ABC - cancel this show PLEASE.
It's time has come, they've had a good run - it's not like any of these hosts are poor - or be unemployed they all got other gigs going on - and they make ridiculous money for what they do - sheri was in a movie, and does comedy and whoopie does acting, writing, comedy , elisabeth wrote a book on gluten, barbara needs to retire - joy i think has a book out, too and did a show of her own it just disappeared —
Come on ABC - wake up let this show END in 2013 !
I find her completely boring….she acts as if she is better than everyone else on the show. Bye..Bye..Liz
Yea! I hate here, she talks over everyone on the panel to make her point…Even when it is not truly relevent to the topic. Anyone would be better she is annoying!
Great news! I hated her… Couldn't stand her…. I guess now I will give the view a second chance.
If they FINALLY get rid of Hasselbeck and her "Views", I might start watching the show again. Having Brooke Shields would be as bad as having Megan McCain. I don't think they would add anything to the show, & if Whoppi leaves they may as well throw in the towel.
elizabeth is very rude and i never did like the way they set up rosie odonnell. whoopie is refreshing and real,down to earth.
i stopped watching after elizabeth took over. I enjoyed rosie but they got rid of her and i like whoopie and joy and the others but not elizabeth. she is totally out of touch and i cannot take her. she makes me change the channel. i suspect she has been wealthy all her life and always had it well off so she can look down on others that are struggling. it's easy to judge the middle class and lower class when you have never gone a day without food. marry's a rich football player–doesn't even need to work yet leaves her kids all day when most woman have to work just to eat and pay basic bills. looks like she does a million sit ups a day and ignores her kids. also seems mentally ill,always wanting to fight and argue endlessly.
whoopie is very enjoyable on the show as is joy and sherry but elizabeth is a book with a lovely cover but nothing inside. a know it all that wants to argue endlessly. she has to be right. i have even seen her disrespect the boss,barbara. maybe she will find peace with God someday.
barbara should not retire,she has a lot of class and got that show together for woman. my young son said he physically liked elizabeth until he heard how obnoxious she talked to the others,nasty and hateful. he can't stand her either. why did she stay so long-i watch other shows because of her.
don't let joy get away–she's been loyal to barbara since day one!!! that is rare nowadays. and she's funny.
The left-handed way in which Walters chose to try and silence the only voice of reason on her daily "Bitchfest" only proves what patriotic americans already know, Walters is a communist. I wish she would have stayed in cuba when she slept with Castro. In any event some savy TV producer will grab Liz, give her a show, and she'll make millions. Walters on the other hand will eventually get so old that even those Placenta injections won't keep her alive. The vast amounts of Cannibis Goldberg consumes will lead to her downfall, and soon the entire show will just be an uncomfortable memory.
We Hate to see you Goooo; We HATE to see you Goooo; Oh WHAT THE HELL Ya Waitin' Fer, We Hate to see you Gooooooooo !!
They should pick up Leah Remini and Holly Robinson…I loved when those 2 were together…along with Whoopi and maybe throw in Ali Wentworth…That would be a fun show!!!
She's a racist no good republican !!! Can stand her I stop watchin the view cause of her racist antics.
