Barry Manilow to Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Your "View" is Dangerous

Posted Sep 17th 2007 1:16PM by TMZ Staff Filed under: TV, Celebrity Feuds

UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that it's not Barry who's writing this song -- in fact, "View" producers pulled the plug on Manilow's performance when his people demanded that he appear on the show without Elisabeth. Manilow has in fact performed on the show twice before -- both last year -- when Hasselbeck's been co-hosting.

TMZ has learned that legendary singer Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on "The View" tomorrow -- because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative view! Paging Rosie O'Donnell!

I write the songs . . . that only I agree with. I write the songs that don't bo-other me-e. I write the songs of libera-a-lity. I write the the songs. I write the songs.

I write the songs and no one else better try. I write the songs and if someone disagreed, I'd just di-i-e. I write the songs that everyone I associate with agrees. I write the songs. I write the songs!

Golf clap.

I liked him in the 70's... still like those songs. I am disappointed in his stance. A guy his age should take any exposure he can get.

Barry Manhole.

Elisabeth looks about ready to nurse her baby. On a separate note, hubba hubba hubba

Barry is starting to look like Martin Short imitating Barry Manilow!

“(he)has not been known to have a relationship with any woman. However, I have not read any news that he has outed himself. So here’s the question — IS HE GAY? or do we just not know ?”

He’s been known to be a pillow biter for some time.

I have never known a more insipid lyric writer to the most repetitive and boring tunes. His music would put an elevator to sleep. I think Liza (I marry gay men) Minelli got him his big start.

That ought to stir the emotional juices for the cultists of the left, Go Barry Go.

The man, I know, is unmarried and has not been known to have a relationship with any woman. However, I have not read any news that he has outed himself. So here's the question -- IS HE GAY ? or do we just not know ?

He and Keith Olbermad will never out each other.

If that’s the case, then ARRRRR!!

Oh Elizabeth. You came and you defamed my brain. And I shun you today.

Oh-h Elizabeth. How dare you disagree with me you monster. And I caw to your ways you hater. And I breed too-o! I can't stand you!

Oh Elizabeth. how dare you have an opinion. Which opposes mi-ine. Oh Elizabeth. How dare you intolerant monster. And I am so liberal. So-so tolerant! I am Go-o-d! How dare you challenge me! It's ALL about ME-E-E!

Oh Elizabeth. How dare you not buy my album. I will take my toys home and play with my boy.

Okay a little off track from the song. But I was having fun. LOL.

You’re Welcome, I think she is gorgeous.

To this day there are people who dread getting on an elevator for fear of being trapped in a "Manilow Environment" until you reach your floor.

Fortunately the elevator speaker system doesn't have video:
