Mischa Barton Blames Wisdom Teeth for Her Meltdown
Originally posted 09/11/2009 11:00AM
She has described her recent troubles and being placed on psychiatric hold as "a perfect storm," and now Mischa Barton is offering further details of her July hospitalization to the women of ABC's The View. In an appearance due to air Friday, she blames the problem on pain associated with wisdom-tooth surgery.
Calling her hospitalization "silly," despite being "completely overwhelmed" by her situation, the former O.C. actress, 23, trying to deflect attention away from the subject, says on the program, "I mean, really, it was blown out of proportion, so it's kind of silly now to be talking about it because I'm so fine now, but it was really just a bad time for me," ABC News reports.
Repeating the meteorological analogy, she says, "It was sort of one of those things that was like a perfect storm. Everything happened at once."

Rachael Ray Wins Daytime Emmy for Best Talk Show
Originally posted 08/31/2009 06:30AM
Rachael Ray has taken the crown traditionally worn by Ellen DeGeneres: the TV chef won the Emmy for best talk show, an honor that for the three previous years has gone to DeGeneres.
"I'm just thankful to have a job in the recession and be working," Ray said after her win at Sunday's 36th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, held at downtown Los Angeles's historic Orpheum Theater and aired on the CW network.
On the red carpet before her victory, Ray told PEOPLE that she lacked an acceptance speech. "You know, I'm so bad at memorization and our show is completely unscripted, so I'm just going to go up," she said, "and if something nice happens like that then we'll just go with our gut."

Kate Gosselin to Guest Host on The View

Embattled reality-TV mom Kate Gosselin will mix it up with the ladies of ABC's The View as a guest host on Sept. 14 and 15, PEOPLE has learned.
The star of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 will be filling in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who will still be on maternity leave when The View returns from its summer-rerun schedule on Sept. 8.
Gosselin, 34, whose separation from husband Jon has dominated the headlines throughout the summer, will no doubt help the talk show hit the ground running in the ratings as it begins its 13th season.

Sherri Shepherd's Trainer Catches Her Cheating on Diet – Online

Talk about TMI on Twitter!
Sherri Shepherd, who's trying to slim down enough to pose in a bathing suit on The View on Aug. 6, learned an important lesson this past weekend: Don't tweet about your junk food indulgences.
"This weekend, I was out in L.A., and I'm tweeting about [how] I had fried calamari and I had some buffalo wings and I just went totally off my diet. And it was great!" The View cohost said on the talk show Monday. "I did not know that my nutritional coach and my trainer follow me."
Shepherd, 42, tweeted on Sunday that she "messed up a little last night ... had fried calamari and fried catfish – gotta stay away from the soul food! Back on track today – gym at 3 pm."

Next on The View: Award Shows That Hate You
Originally posted 05/14/2009 03:00PM
Cue the gloomy organ music: Two of TV's soaps are reeling from a strange and disturbing plot twist, while one of the biggest stars is suffering an eerie flashback.
The culprit? The Daytime Emmys, which not only snubbed the highest-rated serial, The Young and the Restless, but also left out Guiding Light, the just-canceled CBS soap which badly needed an awards boost to help it find another network.
Meanwhile, it was a return to the bad old days for All My Children's Susan Lucci, who was nominated 18 times without a victory before finally snagging an Emmy in 1999 for her 19th nod. She, too, got the cold shoulder, by not even being nominated – though its five panelists are collectively nominated for best host.
Women of The View Get Emotional Over Obama
Originally posted 11/05/2008 12:10PM
The women of The View wore their hearts on their sleeves Wednesday.
"Last night history was made when Barack Obama was voted 44th President of the United States," said host Whoopi Goldberg, leading into the separate reactions from each of the ABC's show's panelists as emotions built and even spilled over.
Goldberg also made the frank admission that her mother's reaction when Whoopi asked if she ever thought she'd live to see an African-American president not only was surprising but threw Whoopi off balance for the rest of the night.
"No," said Goldberg's mother. "I never thought this day would come in my lifetime."

Republican National Convention
Elisabeth Hasselbeck Rocks the Republican Convention
Originally posted 09/05/2008 02:00PM
The View co-host and well-known Republican enthusiast Elisabeth Hasselbeck spent the day wowing delegates at the Republican National Convention Thursday.
Hasselbeck, 31, served as the official emcee at a luncheon for Cindy McCain just hours before John McCain's big speech. Hasselbeck also showed off vintage-style "McCain '08" T-shirts she designed herself, and spent time on the floor of the convention taping a segment that will air on Monday, Sept. 8, on The View.

PHOTO: New View Cast Portrait Revealed
Originally posted 08/11/2008 01:25PM
Meet the season 12 cast of The View.
Look familiar? Well, that's because it is.
Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar will all be back to co-host the ABC daytime show when it returns Sept. 2 after a summer hiatus. But, for the first time, the five ladies have been photographed together. (Remember, Shepherd was a late addition to season 11 – and was never part of any of the show's early photos.)
The photo shoot took place in New York – and the cohosts had plenty to do in between frames. The women danced to Tina Turner's hit "Proud Mary" and Janet Jackson tunes. (Shepherd is a huge Janet fan.)
Between takes Behar also worked on solving a New York Times crossword puzzle, while Shepherd caught up on e-mail and Goldberg practiced the music and script for her role in Xanadu on Broadway.

Michelle Obama Focuses on Family (Not Feuding) on The View
Originally posted 06/18/2008 01:05PM
Michelle Obama made sure there were no fireworks while making her debut on The View Wednesday. Some political observers had predicted the wife of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama might clash with the show's famously conservative co-host, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
In fact, Obama, 44, quashed any chance of that early on – reaching out and clasping hands with Hasselbeck, 31.
"This girl, she's solid," said Obama, whose husband appeared on the show in March. "She's got great kids, she's a great mom, she's funny. So I can disagree with her on a whole range of points. We can still come back again tomorrow."
