The View co-host explained that right after breastfeeding her son, he gave her the biggest smile and, wanting to capture the adorable moment, she reached for her iPhone and snapped the shot.  She forwarded the picture to all of her family members only to discover that her nipple is featured prominently in the image.  Yikes!  I’ve definitely had a couple moments like that in my time as a mother!

I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the Tyra Banks Show won the “informative” talk show award since she is constantly trying to push the envelope to educate her viewers whether it’s a giant stuffed vagina or having pregnant prostitutes on the show to tell their stories.  She really has carved out a niche for herself and I’m really happy for her.

The Rachael Ray show won the “entertainment” talk show prize and I have to say that I was a little surprised by it but, then again, I’m continually amazed by this show’s success.  I didn’t think it was even going to last a single season but, here it is, winning awards!

I was stunned, however, when the ladies on The View beat out Ellen DeGeneres for “best talk show host” after Ellen dominated the category for the past four years.  You know she’s at home right now wondering what she did wrong (nothing!).  I think that viewers really connected with the discussions surrounding the 2008 US Presidential Elections on The View and that probably helped them capture the prize.

Kathy’s appearances have always been controversial and she seems to clash, to some degree, with Barbara Walters but they are always shocking and entertaining so I know viewers will tune in.  The only thing that bugs me about Kathy is the timbre of her voice – it’s just so harsh!  Still, you have got to be pretty tough to roll with the ladies on The View so it works.

I’m not sure how Kate Gosselin is going to fare.  Yes, she’s familiar with being in front of a camera but live television is not the same as being interviewed on a talk show or starring in an editing reality TV program.

We all know that she’s a little on the nitpicky side so it will be interesting to see if she tries to assert her opinion and hold her own with Sherri, Whoopi, Joy and Barbara (if Babs is there).

I know the baby was a surprise (she described her shock on the show back in January) but I’m sure the family is thrilled with their new addition.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck commented on the fact that the sound is a lot edgier than what fans might be used to and then asked Ashley about her upcoming movie, Aliens in the Attic.  Check it out:

According to the Boston Herald, a woman named Susan Hassett sent Hasselbeck a copy of her own self-published work, Living with Celiac Disease, along with “a homemade cooking video, a personal note, a newspaper article and a business card.”

So far, Elisabeth hasn’t responded to the allegations but I would like to know just how similar the books are.  This health-related stuff can be so similar since, unless the author has stumbled upon some huge breakthrough, it’s all just a variation on what researchers have discovered.  I hope Elisabeth didn’t steal from that woman but I guess it will be up to a court of law to decide.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show has by far taken the crown for the most amount of nominations this year with over six of them! Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil got a good amount as well. Who are you rooting for? I have no idea who’s going to win for Outstanding Talk Show. It’s quite a close match, so it should be interesting to see who takes it!

This year Vanessa Williams will be hosting the awards show! Make sure to catch the event on August 30th at 8 pm E.T on the CW Network!

She recently confessed to People magazine: "I’m definitely not paying attention to my pregnancy.  That won’t be true for the child [when it arrives]. But now, when you have two kids running around you’re not the pregnant person you were before.  For the first pregnancy, you’re a pregnant goddess and everyone is running around giving you water.  But the third time around, you’re just lucky to have a prenatal pill by the end of day!"

I can understand exactly what she means.  My third pregnancy was high-risk so I was thinking about that quite a bit but the regular pregnancy stuff was second-nature by then.  I wasn’t as worried and cautious as I had been the first couple times. 

Hasselbeck is also giving Grace and Taylor time to bond before getting them all ready for the new arrival.  "I’m just letting them really enjoy this time as brother and sister," she said. "Then I’ll throw in the word baby once in awhile to remind them."

She explained “I text my husband ‘got hit by a bike’ and then tweeted ‘got hit by a bike’ just in case somebody found me passed out somewhere. And apparently somebody got their pizza or burger on time, because that guy was in a rush."

On Twitter, she first posted “was hit by a bike today on a sidewalk … thankfully the belly is ok. wondering how many other new yorkers have had the same thing happen …"

I’m guessing she got a lot of replies on that one since she later updated and said "apparently, almost everyone in this city has been hit by a bike at some point. ONLY IN NYC!"

How scary, though!  I’m just glad that her baby seems to be alright!

She said that she was inspired to create three-quarter length tops and Capri pants because her co-host Joy Behar regularly says that “the wrists and ankles are the last to go.”  That was smart!  I never heard that but it’s cool to showcase that part of a woman if it is true (it makes sense, doesn’t it?).

“I took animal to the next level,” Elisabeth said of this sheer blouse ($54.54). She told Joy that “it’ll let you survive any hot flash.”
