Elisabeth Hasselbeck returns to ‘The View’: Can the OG conservative save the show?

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeLiz Meriwether never got around to asking Amanda Seyfried if she was a “New Girl” fan. Meriwether, who created the long-running comedy, is also behind “The Dropout,” starring Seyfried. But Meriwether says she stopped talking about the show when too many people told her they didn’t even have a TV.

Elizabeth Banks isn't sorry for indulging. The actress took to Instagram on Thursday, Aug. 18, to pose for a few bikini snaps during a Greek vacation.

It should not be a stretch to say that the United States is currently in a state of cognitive disarray following the overruling of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.

It seems like Elizabeth Holmes is still a little stuck in Amanda Seyfried‘s head. During a conversation about her Emmy nominated performance as the convicted Theranos founder, Seyfriend said she’s had moments during her current gig, the Apple TV+ limited series “The Crowded Room,” where she’s felt Holmes “poking through.” Considering how long Seyfriend played the role for the eight-episode series, that’s not a surprise.

Emily Longeretta For the first time in her career, Sofia Carson got to be part of a film from the moment pre-production began until the very end — and then some. In fact, five years ago when director-producer Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum met Carson on “Pretty Little Liars: Perfectionists,” the two clicked immediately. Rosenbaum asked one of her producer friends to keep an eye out for a script the two could do together.

Emily Longeretta The numbers don’t lie. Currently in its second week, Netflix’s “Purple Hearts” has been watched for more than 100 million hours. The drama, starring Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine, follows a liberal musician who agrees to marry a Marine in order to get health insurance.While the movie has become a huge hit on the streaming giant, it has also faced criticism about misogynistic and racist themes; during one scene, a Marine makes a toast and says, “This one is to life, love and hunting down some goddamn Arabs, baby!” While Carson’s Cassie calls him out before storming off, Galitzine’s Luke brushes it off and it’s soon forgotten, as are his more conservative views she was once unhappy about.Although director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum has focused on the positive reactions to the film, she has seen the criticism.

Elizabeth Meriwether is no stranger to success. She wasn’t even 30 when she created “New Girl,” one of the seminal comedy shows of the past 15 years.

EXCLUSIVE: Maria Bakalova (Bodies Bodies Bodies) has joined the casts of Andrew Durham’s feature directorial debut Fairyland for American Zoetrope, and Jerry Seinfeld’s first film Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story for Netflix. Details as to the roles she’ll be playing in the features have not been disclosed, though we hear she’ll only be making a cameo in the latter.

In case any TV fans missed Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O’Donnell’s explosive on-air fight more than a decade ago, the two former View cohosts are dredging up their old drama now.

Armie Hammer has resurfaced with estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers amid the scrutiny of his job. Hammer and Chambers were spotted out and about together with their family in Los Angeles.  The outing marks the first time the family has been photographed together since news broke that Hammer was selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands.The actor has been living there since the coronavirus pandemic. Hammer's new job, which has not been confirmed by the actor himself, first made headlines after a flyer for Morritt’s Resort in Grand Cayman was shared to social media with a photo of someone who resembled Hammer.

recent return to the show got a big thumbs down from O’Donnell, which of course it did given their contentious onscreen relationship back 2006 and 2007.“Okay, so I prepared myself. I got ready to watch Elisabeth Hasselbeck on ‘The View,'” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video posted Thursday.

Rosie O’Donnell is offering her review of Elisabeth Hasselbeck‘s return to “The View” as a guest co-host, and it wasn’t pretty.

Rosie O'Donnell is offering her review of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's return to as a guest co-host, and it wasn't pretty.O'Donnell, 60, posted a TikTok video on Thursday and explained that she was prepared to sit and watch her former (current?) nemesis/ex-crush return to the daytime talk show but, to her surprise, actually missed it.

. Still, there was an intimidation factor during her time as a regular guest co-host this past season, and two of her fellow panelists stood out.The 33-year-old revealed to ET's Rachel Smith that debating Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin came with its own set of challenges.

criticizing Ron DeSantis’ policies in the past, extended an invitation to the Florida governor to come onto the show despite the show hosts’ potential misgivings, an individual with knowledge of the move confirmed to TheWrap.In turn, a member of DeSantis’ team posted their emailed response to Twitter on Wednesday, in which they passed on the offer and challenged the nature of the invitation.“But are the hosts of the View really interested in hearing from Governor DeSantis about all of the important work he is doing on behalf of Floridians to protect their heath and livelihoods, to stand up for parents and children, and to defend freedom?” wrote Bryan Griffin, deputy press secretary for DeSantis. “Which of the below statements from the hosts of ‘The View’ do you recommend our team consider when deciding if the interview will be a genuine pursuit of the truth? Or worth the time?” Griffin continued before pointing to four instances when the show’s hosts were critical of DeSantis.Among others, the letter highlights an instance in April 2022 when host Ana Navarro discusses the governor’s policies and says, “it’s anti-Black, it’s anti-gay, it’s anti-LGBTQ+ community, and for some reason, the Republican base responds to it.”For context, in this episode Navarro admitted she previously supported DeSantis but was “bothered” by his actions against Disney.

#TheView … Lord, I'm sick of Elizabeth all ready. You can't force your beliefs on others. And those options she speaks of don't address all circumstances or all individuals.
