Manilow's "View" of Elisabeth -- "It Didn't Feel Good"

Posted Sep 19th 2007 2:10PM by TMZ Staff

After he ditched "The View" -- or got ditched by them, depending on who you're talking to -- Barry Manilow and his face seemed to be unmoved by the uproar over his Hasselbeck boycott. And that's Barry in the picture here, not Babwa Walters.


TMZ caught up with the man of exactly one face after a rehearsal, and he told us that while he loved "all those people" at "The View," appearing with Elisabeth on the show "didn't feel good." Barry said he wouldn't appear on the show because he disagreed with what he deemed Hasselbeck's "dangerous" opinions.

Meanwhile, on today's show, Elisabeth wondered if, given recent studies about older men and younger women, she and Manilow couldn't get along down the road. Whoopi said that Barry had already agreed to be on "The View" again soon -- and we're presuming that means that Elisabeth will have to be there, too.

4. I agree #1. It is sickening to watch blondie rattle on and on about nothing just to hear her own voice. Good for Barry!!!

5. Elizabeth is a reality show left over. I don't know even how she qualified for this show. If you are going to have a conservative republican on the show, which is good because it is the VIEW and all views should be represented, pick a more educated, talented one. She is an embarrassment to the show.

12. Why couldn't Barry just politely decline the invite to appear without undue controversy? I rarely agree with Elizabeth, but she does have the right to her opinion. Maybe it's just a gay-loyalty thing between he and Rosie?

13. I'm sure they'll book him when she's on maternity leave...

14. EH may have an unpopular 'view' of our gov't and the war but it's not dangerous, Barry Manilow (BM hahahaha) also has, to some, an unpopular opinion but it's not any more dangerous. As the spouse of an active duty, deployed Marine I can honestly say that our military went to war, our country didn't. The military doesn't have the support from the US population that they need and deserve. Just like millions of Americans they have a job to do but if they don't do that job effectively, efficiently and to the best of their ability they and their comrads might very well loose their lives, they can't say "I don't feel right doing this" because they don't get fired for it, they end up in the brig. Of course there are many, many Americans who do support the troops, others say they do but it's just lip service then there are those who have absolutely lost their mind like Cindy Sheehan.
You're entitled to your opinion as is everyone else but if you don't support the troops and the families that are home waiting for an email or the extremely rare phone call please don't say that you do, in doing so you cause more harm than doing good regardless of your intentions. Celebrities like BM, Charlie Sheen, Rosie O'Donnel, et al only speak out because they know they have a platform, exposure and the audience. If they were your every day Joe they wouldn't be getting the attention they do nor would they be able to spew the venomous opinions to the masses.

15. It's more dangerous to refuse to hear others opinions, IMO. Barry is a jerk
