Will Barbara Walters keep funny lady Joy Behar around or opt to keep the delusional Elisabeth Hasselbeck?
That decision may have to be made soon!
A new report in the Chicago Sun-Times claims that the tension between Behar and Elizabitch is getting unbearable.
Apparently the two aren't speaking to each other, only when they're on air or a camera is present.
It seems their screaming matches backstage have been escalating, primarily because of their very different views on the upcoming elections.
And Hasselbeck is said to be furious at the fact that Joy has been doing impersonations of her from the Florida rally this past weekend, even wearing a shiteous green coat.
Joy even tried to poke fun at Elizabitch by saying that it doesn't matter if Sarah Palin spends $150,000 on a shopping spree, because she said jokingly, "Elisabeth spends that much in a month!"
But it seems Hasselbeck is growing tired of this and is complaining to producers and Walters.
It's a tough choice, but, we say….
Keep Elisabeth! She's the only exciting thing on The View these days.
Members of Jennifer Hudson's family have identified a body found in an SUV Monday morning as that of the singer's nephew.
The body of Julian King was found on the floor of his uncle's SUV, which was wanted in connection to the disappearance of the 7-year-old. King had been missing since Friday.
Police would not say how or where the boy died, but unconfirmed reports say King was shot.
Three family members, including Jennifer Hudson; Julian's mother, Julia Hudson; and another man, went to identify the body. Jennifer Hudson made the official identification.
They arranged to view Julian's body via a live video feed. Upon seeing his face, Jennifer Hudson reportedly made the official identification. A Cook County spokesperson commented on the moment
"Remarkably, Jennifer Hudson was very strong for her family, and it was very apparent that she was the leader within that group, that kept the composure," said Sean Howard, Cook County spokesman. "It was a very touching, emotional moment but yet and still Ms. Hudson remained strong, and she encouraged her family members to remain strong."
An Amber Alert was issued for King after the Oscar-Award winning actress' mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, and brother, 29-year-old Jason Hudson, were found shot to death Friday on the city's South Side. That Amber Alert included a description of Jason Hudson's SUV, which was found in the 1300-block of South Kolin Avenue Monday just after 7 a.m. It was towed away around 9 a.m.
"Responding officers observed a white, Chevy Suburban with license plate number X584859 and confirmed that this was the vehicle that was the subject of the Amber Alert and the wanted vehicle. Further investigation revealed that a body was inside. But can't identify the body pending the medical examiner's examination. The vehicle has been towed for further processing, and the investigation is ongoing," said Gulliford.
Investigators closed off the area where the vehicle was found. It is not clear how long the vehicle was parked on the street. Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis said it had likely been several days. Early Monday morning, police sources say that they searched a home in the 1900-block of South Spaulding, which is about six or seven blocks from where William Balfour, 27, a person of interest in the murders, was arrested. He has not been charged but he is in police custody on a parole violation.
Oscar winner Dream Girl and American Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson lost her mom and brother, both found murdered in the Hudson Chicago home on the southside.
An Amber alert has been issued for Jennifer's missing nephew who is 7-years-old.
And the other side Julian King, the 7-year-old nephew of Jennifer Hudson, died of multiple gunshot wounds and his death has been ruled a homicide, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said Tuesday.
"We're not releasing anything else," said ME spokesman Sean Howard. "We possibly have a criminal out there and we have to maintain discretion."
King, the son of Hudson's sister, Julia, was found dead in the back seat of a white SUV vehicle on Chicago's South Side Monday. Three days earlier, the singer's mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were found fatally shot in their home.
King had been missing since the killings and police had sent out an Amber Alert for the boy.
William Balfour, 27, who is King's stepfather and Julia's estranged husband, remains in custody on a parole violation. Police called him a "person of interest" in the slayings of Donerson and Hudson, but he has not been charged with any crimes.
When asked if Balfour is a person of interest in King's death as well as in the slaying of his grandmother and uncle, Monique Bond, spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, told PEOPLE: "It's all one investigation."
Bond added: "Our investigation continues. He is still considered a person of interest in the investigation."
After hearing what was surely a first-time question about how she feels about being compared to Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus showed she's pretty savvy when it comes to dealing with the media.
"I think they are both really talented and, I don't know about around here, but at the Video Music Awards and everything, Britney Spears has been taking all the awards home and has really had quite a comeback," the tween sensation told reporters in Germany while on tour for her new album, Breakout.
Being careful to keep the praise limited to their activities onstage and onscreen, the Hannah Montana star went on to heap on the praise a little thicker.
"So, I just think that they are super successful, and hopefully when I am compared to them, it's them [...] career-wise because they have all been super successful and had amazing careers and they are both really talented."
Only time shall tell, Miley, especially with that 20-year-old boytoy of yours!
Sex was an endless topic of conversation for the characters in director Kevin Smith's 1994 breakthrough hit "Clerks," but in his new movie "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," sex is more than talked about, it's on display.
"Zack and Miri Make a Porno" debuts in theaters on Friday and is likely to be labeled as Smith's most sex-filled movie yet in a career that is long on topics of sex, raunchy humor and scatology.
His 1997 film "Chasing Amy" tells of a woman who had sex with two men. "Dogma" (1999) has a demonic character made of excrement. In "Clerks," a woman mistakenly has sex with a dead man in the dark and its sequel, 2006's "Clerks II," features a show involving a donkey -- enough said.
Still, Smith told Reuters in a recent interview that sex is not the point in "Zack and Miri." Love is. The director uses sex as a way to explore human lives and relationships.
"For me, a character is fully explored when you can really get your head around them, when you know a bunch about them," Smith said. "And there's no better way of knowing a person than knowing what their sex life is."
Zack and Miri (Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks) are not porn stars -- at least not until their dead-end jobs leave the platonic friends with no electricity or running water in the apartment they share in frigid Pittsburgh.
So, they enlist the help of some eager exhibitionists to make an amateur porn movie they believe will earn them enough money to lessen their predicament.
Zack and Miri promise each other that having sex on camera will not ruin their friendship, but making a porno movie proves to be more emotionally complicated than they expect.
"The movie definitely lives up to its title. Zack and Miri do indeed make a porno," Smith said. "But that being said, the movie's not really about it."
"PORNO" TOO HOT?
Still, it took some convincing to get the Motion Picture Association of America to see the movie the way Smith does. The MPAA represents major Hollywood studios, and its ratings are used as a way to classify the content within a film.
In the case of "Zack and Miri," it was initially rated "NC-17," which means no children 17 years-old and under are permitted. Very often that rating has swayed some viewers and advertisers to think a film is, in fact, pornographic, even though it is not in the eyes of the MPAA ratings board.
Smith agrees some scenes "push the edge of the envelope" as to what could be considered porn, but he appealed the rating. Eventually, it was reduced to "R," which means people 17 and under can see it if they are accompanied by an adult.
Rogen, 26, fresh off the success of his marijuana-themed summer hit "Pineapple Express" and the 2007 sex comedies "Knocked Up" and "Superbad," -- all rated R -- said he never understood why "Zack and Miri" almost received an NC-17.
"I honestly feel like if people saw it they would have been like, 'This is NC-17?'" Rogen said. "And they would have been disappointed...I know enough about movies to know we're not doing anything that hasn't been done in movies rated PG-13."
Advertising the film, which is being released by The Weinstein Co, has proven tricky.
Officials in Philadelphia, for instance, declared their bus stops off-limits to ads because the film's story involved pornography, and TV spots are airing as just "Zack and Miri" without "make a porno" being spoken along with the title.
"I'm stunned that people have that big of an objection to the word," Smith said. "Porno is not a bad word, it's a word that describes something. It's a word that describes a genre or a field of filmmaking," he said.

Jessica Simpson is definitely a “Major Movie Star” – at least in Russia.
Simpson’s new big screen comedy, “Major Movie Star,” opened atop the box office in Russia earlier this month, according to a report by Fox News’ Roger Friedman.
What makes the achievement all the more interesting is the fact the film has never opened in the U.S.
In fact, there is no potential U.S. release date listed anywhere for the movie.
The comedy, which wrapped production in August 2007, starred Simpson as a naïve pop singer who attempts to win over a movie studio who dubs her “unsuitable” for their upcoming military-themed film.
To prove them wrong and win the role, she enlists in the U.S. Army. Once she arrives at the military base, she realizes she’s made a mistake, but decides to stick to it so she won’t let her country down.
The film also stars Vivica A. Fox, Cheri Oteri, Steve Gutenberg and new “High School Musical 3” star Olesya Rulin.
“Major Movie Star” also lists over a dozen producers on the project, including Jess’ own father, Joe Simpson.
Wednesday (Oct. 29) will be Barack Obama Night on your television.
The Democratic presidential candidate will appear on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," stopping by the Comedy Central hit on the same evening he addresses the nation with a half-hour network special.
Sen. Obama won't actually be sitting down with Stewart, though. His fourth "Daily Show" appearance, and first since April 21, will be via satellite from Florida.
The episode will be broadcast just hours after Obama's campaign special airs on CBS, FOX and NBC. ABC and The CW will continue with regular programming in the 8 p.m. hour, showing "Pushing Daisies" and "America's Next Top Model" respectively.
With the presidential election rapidly approaching, "The Daily Show" has set audience records, averaging 2.1 million viewers per night in October. Sen. Obama will have to compete with his own spouse for family supremacy. Michelle Obama's Oct. 8 appearance drew a record 2.9 million viewers.
Obama has a long way to go before he can catch up to his Republican rival Sen. John McCain, who has made at least a dozen "Daily Show" appearances, most recently on May 7.
Don't be fooled by her delicate physique: Julianne Hough's no wussy.
The "Dancing with the Stars" pro headed into a planned appendectomy Tuesday morning, mere hours after nailing the samba with partner Cody Linley on the hit ABC show.
That's right: She knew about the surgery beforehand ... and danced anyway.
"Everything's OK," Hough said on DWTS Monday night. "I'm going to hopefully be back, if everything goes as planned, next week."
Joked host Tom Bergerson: "Only Julianne could say, 'I'm having my appendix out, and I'll be back in a week.' "
Hough was rushed to the hospital last week after complaining of stomach cramps, where she was diagnosed with endometriosis, the development of uterine-lining tissue on the surfaces of organs in the pelvis or abdomen where they are not supposed to grow.
Despite the pain, which her rep says has been "coming and going since last week," the 20-year-old only missed one rehearsal for the show.
So is this tough-as-nails 'tude specific to Hough? Not according to Mignon Furman, director of New York's American Academy of Ballet, who says such commitment is par for the course.
"The show must go," she said. "Dancers are very serious about that."
In fact, Furman added, she's even seen dancers "throw up on the side of the stage and go back on" during performances.
"They're tough cookies," agrees Angela Prince, national public relations director for USA Dance. "If something hurts, that doesn't mean that they stop. It's mind over body sometimes."
Meanwhile, Hough has been "in great spirits," her rep says, and plans to keep fans updated on her health after the surgery.
Paramount Pictures is doing everything it can to make sure Zac Efron is Footloose and roadblock-free.
In the wake of the box-office domination of the Zefron-juiced High School Musical 3: Senior Year, the studio has put its remake of the Kevin Bacon classic on the fast track, with production slated to begin on the musical next spring.
According to Variety, Paramount is doing what it can to ensure a smooth run-up to the start date, including offering the 21-year-old star a "mid-seven-figure salary" and script approval.
Along for the potentially lucrative ride is HSM3 director Kenny Ortega, who will once again shepherd Efron through the lofty big-screen endeavor.
Because the studio is hoping the Footloose audience skews slightly older than Efron's current demographic—aiming for older teens and adults in lieu of Disneyfied tweens—Paramount has enlisted the slightly more edgy talents of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist director Peter Sollett to give the script a once-over.
Bringing out all the stops, the studio has also commissioned new songs to be written for the flick. While the original was, without question, a music-heavy venture, the remake will go one step further and actually branch into musical genre territory. As further insurance for success, the studio has roped in two Chicago producers to lend a hand on the movie.
The project was first announced in July 2007, but was put on the back burner while the star went into production on HSM3 and 17 Again, which is set for release next April.
Meanwhile, word of the film's fast-tracking is seemingly news even to Efron, who earlier this month spoke in hopeful, albeit much less definitive, terms about the project.
"Footloose is coming together, actually," he said. "We're trying to figure out the right way to do it, but yeah. It seems like it's going to happen."
No one can possibly imagine what Jennifer Hudson is going through after the horrifying loss of her relatives, but the "American Idol" contestant-turned-Oscar winner is in the thoughts of her former co-stars.
While friends and family mourn the loss of Hudson's mother, brother and young nephew, both Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, who worked with the singer when she launched her career, have sent her messages of support, as has one of her fellow contestants, Jon Peter Lewis.
"This is a horrific tragedy, and my thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer and her entire family," said Paula Abdul in a statement on Monday. "The time I had to get to know Jennifer and forge a wonderful friendship with her while she was on Idol was very special to me, and I personally can't imagine a greater loss for any family."
Simon Cowell released his own statement after police confirmed on Monday that the body of a young boy, who was found shot in the head, belonged to Hudson's 7-year-old nephew Julian King, who had disappeared from home on Friday, when Hudson's mother and brother were brutally killed.
"I was horrified when I heard the news. This is an appalling tragedy. My thoughts right now are with Jennifer, and her family," Cowell told Extra.
Speaking to Access Hollywood, one of Hudson's castmate on "American Idol," Diana DeGarmo, who finished second on the show's third season, said she was "completely shocked and stunned" to learn about the loss of her mother and brother with whom she had a very close relationship. "Jennifer always spoke about her mom, how close they were and how much of a ‘big sister’ role her mom played in her life," DeGarmo added.
"My heart, my prayers and love go out to Jennifer and her family," LaToya London, who placed fourth on the same season of "American Idol," told Access Hollywood. "I will constantly keep them in my prayers. Jennifer, stay strong."
Upon learning of the tragic deaths on Friday, another former "Idol" contestant Jon Peter Lewis sent his thoughts and prayers to Hudson, "I am so bereft of words, just how shocking this is … how senseless and heartbreaking," he told People. Lewis and Hudson became friends during the 2004 competition when both advanced to the top 12. They later traveled the country on the "American Idol" summer tour.
Even Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, who shares the same Chicago hometown as Hudson, expressed his condolences saying he and his wife were "heartbroken to learn about this unimaginable tragedy."
"We want Jennifer to know that she is in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time," the Illinois senator was quoted by People as saying. In August, Hudson fulfilled a personal request from Obama's camp to sing the national anthem during the Democratic National Convention.
Upon the recent turn of events, the "Dreamgirls" stage has also gone dark. Out of respect for Hudson, casting for the show’s upcoming national tour has been postponed.
"Our prayers and thoughts are with Ms. Hudson and her family at this tragic time," producer John Breglio said Monday.
It sounds like the singer has a lot of friends in her corner right now, which is good, as she will need them to help her get through this senseless tragedy. For now, it appears that the actress/singer, who was about to release her first solo CD, has put her career on hold to support her family.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that around 100 people have gathered for a candlelight vigil outside the Englewood neighborhood family home of Hudson's family Monday, October 27 to grief the tragedy happened to her family.
Take an aspiring fashion designer, add a would-be singer, throw in a fast food obsessive, and what have you got?
The three central characters for a proposed HBO comedy starring Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan. Ricky Gervais and Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry have been approached by the award-winning cable network to create a campy comedy series starring three of the most infamous tabloid queens in Tinseltown, according to a new tabloid scoop.
“The chemistry between them will be electric,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mail on Monday. “They were all very close and have had their ups and downs in the LA party world. But they have overcome those problems now.”
“And they can draw from their experiences for the sitcom,” the insider adds.
“Paris would play the most ambitious of the three. Her character is supposed to be a hot fashion designer. She goes to great lengths to push her bizarre designs, with often hilarious results.”
“Britney’s character is an aspiring singer. But, like Phoebe from Friends, her bizarre lyrics hold her back.”
“And Lindsay Lohan is a little like Matt Le Blanc’s wannabe actor character from Friends. She’s obsessed with men and fast food.”
After attending the wedding of Zefrons manager (Jason Barrett) in Hawaii, Zac Efron and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens hide underneath their hoodies as they return home to Los Angeles via LAX airport on Monday. (If this scene looks familiar, the couple did the same thing at Best Buy.)
Because Zac and director Kenny Ortega delivered a $42 million opening weekend for High School Musical 3, Zac and Kenny may start working together again on Footloose as early as next spring.According to Variety, Zac is almost set in a deal that will pay him a mid-seven-figure salary. Mr. Efron is working his way up to leading man pay-outs!
They had a romantic weekend away in Hawaii, attending a wedding and relaxing on the beach. And last night, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were spotted arriving at LAX International Airport.
The “High School Musical” sweethearts looked happy and well-rested as they made their way through the main terminal together, laughing and smiling all the way.
Miss Hudgens tried her best to hide from the paparazzi underneath a white hooded sweatshirt, teamed with a pair of black pants and flip flops while Mr. Efron sported a green hoodie and dark wash jeans.
With “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” raking in $42 million in its opening weekend, it looks like Zac and HSM director Kenny Ortega will be collaborating again in the near future on a remake of “Footloose.”
Chicago police have found the body of a boy in an SUV that they were looking for after the shooting deaths of the mother and brother of the actress and singer Jennifer Hudson, and the disappearance of her 7-year-old nephew.
Commander Wayne Gulliford of the Chicago police told reporters at a news conference Monday that the SUV matched the one they sought in an Amber Alert issued after the slayings. Mr. Gulliford said the police were waiting for a medical examiner report that would identify the body.
Julian King, Ms. Hudson’s nephew, has been missing since Friday, when Ms. Hudson’s mother and brother were found, at about 3 p.m., shot to death in their Chicago home. Both were dead of multiple gunshot wounds. Julian is believed to have been home at the time of the shooting. Ms. Hudson has offered a $100,000 reward for his safe return. The F.B.I. and local police authorities had been searching for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban belonging to Ms. Hudson’s brother, Jason, that was taken from the home after the shootings. That car, with the body of a boy, was found on the city’s west side on Monday morning after a resident reported a suspicious vehicle.
Julian is the son of Ms. Hudson’s older sister, Julia. William Balfour, the boy’s estranged stepfather and former husband of Julia Hudson, has been named as a “person of interest” in the case, but has not been charged.
On Sunday, he was taken into custody by the Illinois Department of Corrections for a parole violation. He has convictions for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possession of a stolen motor vehicle, according to the department. He was released from prison in May 2006 and remains on probation.
Jennifer Hudson, whose performance in “Dreamgirls” earned her the Oscar for best supporting actress, had been on a promotional tour in Florida for her latest movie, “The Secret Lives of Bees,” when she received word of the killings. She returned to Chicago on Friday night.
She had been scheduled to leave on Monday for a world tour for her self-titled debut album, which includes the single “Spotlight,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B charts.
On Saturday, Julia Hudson called for the return of her son in a tearful plea from a church pulpit, and held out hope he was still alive.
“All I ask, I don’t care who you are, just let the baby go,” she said, speaking from the podium of the Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago where her sister used to sing.
“Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely," Jennifer Hudson said in a posting on her MySpace page on Sunday. She also posted two pictures of her nephew wearing the brown-and-orange striped polo shirt he was wearing when he was last seen.
Many have speculated that Guy Ritchie’s jealousy over wife Madonna’s relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez was the last straw in their breakup. Now a U.K. tabloid is saying the real problem was that Madonna put sex with Guy second to Pilates and pumping iron.
According to a report in London’s Daily Mail, Ritchie says the marriage disintegrated when Madonna started planning their sex life around her daily 3 to 4 hour gym sessions.
Richie reportedly complained to his lawyers that the couple’s bedroom time was meticulously planned by Madge for weeks in advance, which reportedly killed the thrill for him.
I feel Guy’s pain. Being penciled in for sex isn’t the kind of thing that really puts the lead in a guy’s pencil, ya know?
"Alaska's largest newspaper has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for the White House, saying it would be too risky to put the state's Republican governor Sarah Palin just "one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world."
The Anchorage Daily News, the leading daily in the overwhelmingly Republican state, called Mrs Palin's vice-presidential nomination "an improbable and highly memorable event" which had brought prominence to Alaska. Nevertheless, the paper said that "despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth "
The paper was even more scathing in its assessment of the top of the Republican ticket: "Our sober view is that her running mate, Senator John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation."
"Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office," the Anchorage Daily News said.
"In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Senator McCain."
Particularly on the top campaign issue - the faltering US economy - the newspaper said Mr McCain "has stumbled and fumbled badly in dealing with the accelerating crisis as it emerged".
"His behaviour in this crisis - erratic is a kind description - shows him to be ill-equipped to lead the essential effort of reining in a runaway financial system and setting an anxious nation on course to economic recovery."
Bitter infighting between aides to John McCain and Sarah Palin erupted into public view in a sign of tension gripping the Republican camp with the election 10 days away.
A series of recent surveys have suggested Palin's presence on the ticket is hurting McCain's chances in the November 4 election, at a time when Democratic rival Barack Obama has surged clear in most key polls.
The inquests into what has gone wrong with McCain's campaign appear to have already begun, according to reports, with Palin's camp blaming the Arizona senator's senior advisers for mismanaging her contribution.
The Politico.com website cited four Republicans close to Palin as saying she had grown frustrated by advice given to her by campaign handlers, whom her supporters blame for a series of public relations gaffes.
The report said Palin was now increasingly willing to disregard orders from advisors, suggesting the Republican running mate was in the initial stages of forging her own identity for a future tilt at the White House.
"She's lost confidence in most of the people on the plane," said a senior Republican quoted by Politico, adding that Palin had already begun to "go rogue" in some of her public pronouncements on the campaign trail.
The Alaska Governor's supporters accused McCain strategist Steve Schmidt and senior aide Nicolle Wallace of blaming Palin for the failure of the campaign.
"These people are going to try and shred her after the campaign to divert blame from themselves," a McCain insider was quote by Politico as saying.
When asked to comment on the Politico story by AFP, Wallace said in an email: "I have no comment other than what's in the story, if people wish to throw me under the bus, my personal belief is that the graceful thing to do is to lie there."
Later Saturday, Politico quoted McCain advisers reacting angrily to the report, branding Palin a "diva."
The McCain sources said Palin had repeatedly gone "off-message" recently, suggesting she appeared to be looking out for herself.
"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," the McCain source said. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else."
A McCain source quoted by CNN added: "She is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."
Another senior McCain adviser told the network: "This is what happens with a campaign that's behind; it brings out the worst in people, finger-pointing and scapegoating."
News of tensions within the McCain camp comes after polls suggested Palin -- who electrified the party when named as running mate in August -- is now dragging down the Republican ticket.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released on Wednesday found that Americans are less and less convinced she is worthy to serve as the country's number-two leader.
It confirmed the findings of an ABC/Washington Post poll released earlier this month which found that six in 10 voters saw Palin, 44, as lacking the experience to be an effective president. "A third are now less likely to vote for McCain because of her," the Post added.
After being found guilty of abusing her power as governor in the so-called "troopergate" scandal over the firing of her ex-brother-in-law, Palin now faces a second probe over whether she violated ethics rules in the affair.
Palin was also back in the headlines this week after it emerged 150,000 dollars had been spent on clothes for Palin since late August, potentially undermining her appeal as a down-to-earth working "hockey mom."
Yup, that's Bono in those pics creepily touching two bikini-clad teens.
He's married!
Why would he allow such pix to be snapped?????
Was he drunk?
Is one of those hos his daughter???? No!
Anyway, last month, Bono and one of his musician buddies went down to St. Tropez in the south of France for some guy time.
While there, they hung out with 19-year olds Andrea Feick and Hannah Emerson.
Feick and Emerson decided to share with all their friends on Facebook the fun pix they snapped with their pal Bono.
The UK's Daily Mail caught wind of this and has shared the fun in the sun with all of us!
Yay!
The paper reached out to Feick and she told them she's known Bono for a few years and that their relationship has never crossed the friendship line, "No…God no!’ (she laughed) God no! He’s a friend of mine and that’s pretty much it. I’m not going to get into details, but it’s a small world."
A few years?!?!
Did she meet him while she was in middle school?
Oh, and check out the hat Andrea is wearing in the third pic.
Isn't that the same hat Bono was wearing at Disneyland?
If Sarah Palin looses the November Vote, this not the last we have heard of her. There is no exact definition of a star, but she has star quality. TV execs and Hollywood agents are lining up to pitch the potential VP their ideas. Insiders are saying she has two options: One being the TV options, just look at her ratings. Two going back to Alaska and prep herself for a 2012 run. Whatever happens we have not heard the last of Sarah Palin.
Staunch conservative Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck got the call of her dreams this week when Sarah Palin called and asked her to join the VP candidate on the campaign trail in Florida this weekend. Hasselbeck was visibly excited when announcing her plans for the next few days on The View.
"Gov. Palin asked me to be with her this Sunday to introduce her at the rallies in Florida. I am more than honored to be there,” Hasselbeck said Thursday on the TV talk show. “I’ll have some stories, I’m sure, on Monday.”
Palin is scheduled to appear Sunday at campaign rallies in Tampa and Kissimmee, Fla.
Hasselbeck has worn her support for the Republican ticket proudly: Earlier this week, she appeared on the show in a T-shirt with the lettering: “Great AmeriMcCain Hero.”
Florida is a battleground state for the candidates, so I guess Palin thought she’d pull in the big guns for this weekend. While it sounds like I’m joking, The View has proven to be one of the most successful vehicles for publicity for both tickets this election year, aside from Saturday Night Live. People’s opinions about how the women on The View conduct their interviews are as varied as the party affiliations of viewers, but no matter your opinion it does provide an enormous amount of exposure for the candidates. Palin secures her name mentioned in every show next week by bringing Hasselbeck out to Florida, and getting people talking is what it’s all boiling down to in these last weeks.
As for Elisabeth, you know she is so excited she’s practically peeing her pants. Sarah Palin is who Elisabeth Hasselbeck wants to be when she grows up. Next week Hasselbeck is going to be feeling like her new best friend is going to be the Vice President of the United States and she’s barely going to be able to contain herself. It should make for some entertaining, or insufferable (depending how you feel about it) exchanges with her co-hosts on The View. Stay tuned!
Reports are surfacing that the person of interest in the Jennifer Hudson family homicides was arrested over the summer.
