    Manilow is a douche...

    Hasselbeck is harmless...

    Exactly.

    Hasselbeck is also cute.

    What I really want to know is what tunes was he going to sing on the appearance on the View?

    We are sooooooooooooo friends off.

    Zeke is a conundrum wrapped in an enigma. Kurt Cobain and Neil Diamond ... hmmmm ...

    We don't remember Nora Dunn's incident on SNL?

    He has a best of the 70's CD coming out, I think.

    You win the oxymoron contest.

    When you begin to learn anything from your numerous mistakes in personality judgments,
    you know where to turn.

    Hasselyotch probably has an arrangement with Fox & Friends - if the heat gets too hot in the ABC kitchen, she only need say the word and Gretchen Carlson gets the heave-ho. F&F gave her a week as co-host to bash Rosie right in the middle of the Rosie-Trump mess.
    Guess Barry won't be performing in Cranston, R.I., ever again.

    Well, I'm back to the point you made early on.

    I sense Rosie's fingerprints on this.

    Because this is all a brilliant marketing ploy. If he goes on the show, viewers of The View will see him perform and realize he has a new album out.

    Those who don't watch it would never even know he was going to be on the show, nevermind that he has a new album.

    By pulling out and making a "political stand," he creates controversy and now has the righties here all riled up and arguing with the lefties and guess what? Now we all know Barry fucking Manilow has a new album coming out!!! Yay!

    The worst part is, everyone is buying into it as a political stance, when, as was pointed out earlier, he had no problem performing TWICE last year when she was on the show. You know why he didn't mind? HE DIDN'T HAVE AN ALBUM TO PROMOTE!

    pern, he's released these albums about every year. He's done the 50s and 60s, maybe even 40s. So yes, he probably did have an album to promote.
