Barry Manilow Hates Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Ha ha ha ha! I’m sorry. It’s a bit mean but I could not help but laugh here. You hear rumors all the time and then stars backpedal on what they said and it is just ridiculous.

Not Barry Manilow. He’s my personal hero of the day. It’s been rumored all day that he pulled out of his performance because he dislikes Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I tried to stay neutral until I read this on his official site: manilow.com

A message from Barry…
Hey guys,

I wanted to let you know that I will no longer be on The View tomorrow as scheduled. I had made a request that I be interviewed by Joy, Barbara or Whoopi, but not Elisabeth Hasselback. Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request so I bowed out.

It’s really too bad because I’ve always been a big supporter of the show, but I cannot compromise my beliefs. The good news is that I will be on a whole slew of other shows promoting the new album so I hope you can catch me on those.

Love,
Barry

OUCH!!!!! I wonder what the ladies are gonna say about this one!
