Why didn't Barry Manilow want to be on The View?

with Elizabeth H.?
They mentioned it, but didn't tell why.

I am very upset w/ him over that,,,, . Plus, I don't even recognize him with his new face...
why don't they just allow themselves to age gracefully?

I think he did this also to get his name out there.... but, it makes me not want to buy anything. That was so rude.
She doesn't need this while being pregnant.

Barry Manilow afraid of Elizabeth Hasselback. He's a bigger weenie than his songs are. After they gave him the boot, he acted like it was his idea not to appear because he might compromise his ideals. Come on Barry, its just a TV show. Be a man for once.

Barry just recorded a song with Rosie, who has major issues with Elizabeth. Rosie is hyper sensitive and Barry thought that by not having Elizabeth interview him, it would be a show of loyalty to his friend. I admire him for sticking by his friend, but ultimately Rosie was way too sensitive and the View is about expressing opinions. Still you have to believe loyalty to a friend is refreshing in the dog eat dog world of Hollywood.

If people are not going to buy his cd's for that then they were prolly never going to buy his cd any ol' way.

If Bar is going to be on when Lizzy is on maternity leave then Bar is the winner because if Bahbah and Bill Gedde were really behind Lizzy they wouldn't reschedule him at all.

This is more publicity for Lizzy than Barry. Nobody knows or cares who she is.

He's been on the view previous times with Elizabeth sitting on the couch. It was his "people" that didn't want her to be there. Barbara(Walters) and Bill(Getty) the exec. producers told them that it was either everyone or no one. They also said today that he will be on at a later date.

He refused to be on stage with Elizabeth Hasselbeck because he didn't agree with her views on certain topics and thought she was "dangerous and offensive". I peronally think that's pretty stupid and immature. He should just grow up and get over it. And yea, talk about plastic surgery...
