Hollywood Baby Bump Watch Continues

It looks like the third time is the charm for The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck. After struggling to get pregnant with her 3-year-old daughter Grace and 15-month-old son Taylor, the outspoken former Survivor contestant says baby No.3 came as a complete surprise. “We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it,” Hasselbeck told fans on Thursday’s edition of The View. “I didn’t even know for two months.” The 31-year-old stalwart Republican claims she had no clue that she was pregnant. Rather, she says she thought her fatigue and nausea were results of the hoopla generated by the presidential election. Hasselbeck’s newest … Continue reading

So This is Why They Call Her a Crybaby

Perhaps, it’s her age… or maybe she’s pregnant again. Either way “The View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck was in tears again on national TV last week when things got heated at the “Hot Topics” table.

“View” News: Classy “Viewer” Weds and Rosie’s Idol Says “Ciao” To Rome

I’m sure the tabloids are counting the minutes until the start of today’s edition of “The View.” After all, this will be the first live show to air since Rosie O’Donnell announced she would be leaving the ABC chatfest before the end of her contract. No doubt there are those who are dying to see how den mother (and show creator) Barbara Walters handles the situation… but I think more people will be tuning in to see what co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has to say about Rosie’s departure and having Donald Trump refer to her as “the dumbest person on television.” … Continue reading
