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.

Rosie Responds to Barbara's Oprah Interview
Originally posted 05/07/2008 08:00AM
Rosie O'Donnell doesn't agree with everything Barbara Walters said about her on The Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday – but she's not holding any grudges.
"I love her," the former host of The View wrote on her Web site's Q & A page, when asked her thoughts on Walters's interview.
Still, O'Donnell used the forum to respond to several assertions made by her former boss.
For example, Walters told Winfrey that she thought O'Donnell "regretted" writing her 2007 book Celebrity Detox, and that was why she didn't promote the book.

Barbara Walters Breaks Silence Over Affair with Senator
Originally posted 05/01/2008 04:45PM
It's kiss-and-tell time for Barbara Walters: She had an affair with U.S. Sen. Edward Brooke in the 1970s, the veteran journalist revealed during an interview with Oprah Winfrey scheduled to air on Tuesday.
After three decades of silence, Walters, 78, is speaking out about her
multi-year relationship. According to transcripts from the show obtained by
the Associated Press, the View host called Brooke "exciting" and
"brilliant" – and tells Winfrey, "I was certainly infatuated ... It
was exciting times in Washington."

Miley Cyrus's Achy Breaky Toilet
Originally posted 03/07/2008 04:10PM
It's not exactly a Willie Wonka golden ticket, but a golden toilet is a good substitute.
Explaining to the ladies of The View on Friday about her February visit to tape her Oscar special, Barbara Walters provided a memorable detail about a particular pit stop – at the home of Miley Cyrus.
"The day that we got there, the toilet in their house overflowed," said Walters, as even The Huffington Post is documenting.
And, said Walters, "When one overflowed, the whole plumbing system went wrong in the house, and all the toilets overflowed."

Pal Tells Barbara Walters Britney's in 'Treatment'
Originally posted 01/28/2008 12:50PM
Barbara Walters received a call from Britney Spears's manager and "very good friend" Sam Lutfi, the TV host told her cohorts on Monday's The View – reporting that Lutfi said the pop star was seeking help for what Walters termed "mental issues which are treatable."
"She has been to a psychiatrist," Walters, 78, said, recounting Lutfi's explanation over the phone. "She, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment."
Walters also reported that Spears was having trouble sleeping and was suffering from "mood swings," but that she was back in touch with her mother, Lynne Spears.

See Who Tops Barbara Walters's Fascinating List
Originally posted 12/07/2007 08:50AM
Thursday night, for the 15th time in as many years, Barbara Walters revealed the picks for her annual list of 10 Most Fascinating People.
It was a roster that left celeb hounds chomping at the bit.
In an interview earlier this week, the 78-year-old TV journalism pioneer admitted that she is tired of celebrity interviews and was "not going after the tabloid stuff" when it came to handpicking her much-publicized list.
But, if Britney, Lindsay and Paris aren't "fascinating," who is?

She's butted heads with heads of state, endured the tug o'war between Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump, even been mercilessly parodied on SNL – but there's one thing Barbara Walters admits intimidates her: her MySpace page.
"I am now on MySpace," the broadcast veteran, 78, told her View co-producer Bill Geddie on Barbara Live, her weekly Sirius radio show.
