No more Joy! And now no more Sass-A-Hass!?

Just ONE DAY following the news of Joy Behar's exit from The View, reports confirm that Elisabeth Hasselbeck will not be returning next season.

Though Joy's exit seemed to be her own decision, we're hearing Elisabeth was FIRED for being too extreme in Republican politics for viewers.

Insiders say:

"The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right wing. People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed."

Meanwhile, a rep from the show will only state:

Say it ain't so, Joy!

After 16 years of absolutely crushing it on ABC's The View, Joy Behar is walking away when her contract expires in August! She's quitting!

That isn't to say she's leaving daytime TV for good, though!

The HIGHlarious comedienne has other irons in the fire, including a possible show on CNN!

Joy revealed, in her own words, why NOW was the right time to say her goodbyes to Whoopi, Babs, and the rest of the crew.

She said

She's bbbaaccckkkkkkkk!

After six weeks in bed, Barbara Walters once again took her co-hosting seat on The View earlier this morning!

The acclaimed broadcast journalist was forced to take a leave of absence from the talk show after fainting and hitting her head on the marble floor at President Barack Obama's inauguration in January and later suffering from a bout of chicken pox from a celebrity "who shall remain nameless."

But no worries! She says even though people around her are treating her delicately, she is ALL good.

We'd be great too if we got flowers and get well cards from people like the president, Michelle Obama, Nancy Reagan, and the Queen of Jordan!! LOLz!

Ch-ch-check out the invincible 83-year-old's energetic homecoming(above)!!!

Finally!

Barbara Walters recently suffered a bad case of the chicken pox, and while she's been resting it up to get healthy… she's now well enough to claim her spot back on The View!!

We previously mentioned that Barbara Walters had chicken pox recently.

She had to go to the hospital for it because at her age it can be very serious.

She's alright now but still feeling "weak and tired" so she won't be returning to the The View for three weeks!

Isn't it always so funny how reading what someone says and then HEARING it can really showcase what the intent behind the words really was?!

Let us give you a beautiful example of what we mean!

Mariah Carey sat down with Barbara Walters for an interview on Nightline last night, during which she once again addressed her much-publicized, possibly-staged feud with fellow American Idol judge Nicki Minaj!

We ALL know the story by now, so we're not going to re-hash the details, but as we noted earlier, the diva explained her decision to take the gun threats the rapper allegedly made against seriously enough to hire extra security, because "anytime anybody's reeling threats at somebody, you know, it's not appropriate. I'm a professional. I'm not used to that type of environment."

Reads completely logical, right?!

WELL.

To TRULY appreciate

The fires of their now infamous feud might have been fueled back in October, but tonight, we’ll get to hear what Mariah Carey had to say about Nicki Minaj!

With American Idol’s premiere in just one week, Mimi is speaking out yet again on that oh so fateful day where Nicki allegedly said she’d “shoot that bitch!”

When Barbara Walters asked Mariah about that incident in particular, she stated:
