The View Hot Topic: “Would you let your boy play with dolls?”
“No way,” Sherry Shepherd said Wednesday. “I’d take a doll away! I don’t want my boy playing with dolls, I want him growing up like a man.”
Elizabeth chimes in that she would “take the baby doll away and replace it with a GI Joe.”
It’s […]

I’m proud of my country because we can admit that we were tragically WRONG for participating in slavery and bigotry and that it still carries consequences to this day.
I’m proud of my country because this year we’re deciding we’re done with our long history of racism and sexism.
I’m proud of my country because this […]

Did anyone watch Barbara Walter’s interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC last night?
I wanted to weep with gratitude for what she’s done for women.
After watching old clips of her most famous interviews with some of the most powerful leaders, infamous criminals, and biggest stars of the world Charlie asked Barbara about her interview style.
Barbara’s interview […]

Did you all see Barbara Walters on Oprah yesterday?
Just the sight of these two trailblazers for women in the media made me a little teary. I was so proud of both of them. So grateful too.
Was anyone else as fascinated by their candid discussion about having affairs with married men?
In case you missed the news, […]

I know you thought you’d never hear these words from me, but I agree with Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s take on the banning of tag and other “aggressive” playground play.
One of the lessons I’ve taken from Randy Pausch, the man who’s teaching us how to boldly face down death by focusing on life with The Last Lecture, […]

Imagine if someone put the 5 stupidest things you said on a tape and played them over and over for two weeks, Barack Obama said to Elisabeth Hasselbeck in reference to his opinion of his Church of Christ Pastor this morning on The View. Oh please - someone do this! I’m BEGGING someone to compile the […]

Did anyone see Elisabeth’s head explode this morning on The View over New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s affair with a hooker?
Funny, she seemed so much calmer and less hysterical when it was Rev. Ted Haggard, the former president of the National Association of Evangelicals that admitted to buying drugs and getting a sexual massage.
When it was […]

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is back on The View after a 2 month maternity leave.
I missed her.
There, I said it.
I loath her politics, I’m jealous of her position and stunning beauty and ease in which she makes her way in the world effortlessly.
But, The View is not The View without her. The guests are boring because they are not […]

Focusing on what is right about yourself, versus what is wrong, is the mark of a healthy individual, states a sign at my old gym.
There are about 2 weeks left in 2007 and before you go making resolutions for 2008 (looking at what is wrong and what still needs changing), how about a little self-praise about 2007?
It’s […]

Psych.
Elisabeth’s only going on maternity leave. Somehow hubby Tim is moving to Arizona and she’s taking maternity leave and then coming back to New York? Commuter family. Is that what “Conservative Republicans” do now?
Did you see how disrespectful Elisabeth was to Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the House?
Maybe Barbara had a chat with her about […]

Can public criticism, say from an entire nation, make you change your hair and face in a drastic way? Would you change your hair color? Would you surgically alter your face?
Marsha Clark, attorney in the infamously televised OJ Simpson trial did. She’s now a blond who straightens her hair and wears a lot more make-up. The ladies on […]

Oh Please. They’re going to take Britney’s kid away from her from walking around in front of the kids naked?
I don’t know a single mother who has any real privacy. Do you know how long it’s been since I took a crap by myself? Entirely alone? Without someone popping into the bathroom to ask where their other […]

Let’s teach 12-year-olds to put condoms on bananas! Whoopi said.
And, while I was expecting Elizabeth’s head to explode in a impulse of maternal Republican furry, I was pleasantly surprised by Sherri Shephard’s screeching halt to such talk.
I am forever surprised by my own maternal response to political issues I previously believed I held. Human Biology, including the […]

Star Jones, formerly of The View, tells all in the first person on Glamour.com. It’s a raw look at the emotional after-effects of gastric bypass surgery, and why she was trying to keep it private while on The View. She’s lost 160 pounds in three years.
Four years later, I have been successful in maintaining a healthy weight […]

Bravo Barbara Walters on your selection for the new moderator of The View, Whoopi Goldberg. She fits all the criteria I had for a great moderator, funny, smart, ethnic, older and interesting.
Whoopi will provide a distinct perspective to The View, without being mean spirited, I think. She’ll provide the African American perspective, a liberal perspective and […]
