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!
In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her." Barry, taking a stand!
Manilow is currently on a press tour promoting the release of his new album, "Greatest Songs of the Seventies."
A call to a rep for "The View" was not immediately returned.
What a wuss!
Oops, I've boycotted his lame arse since the 1970s. Nevermind.
Normally, for entertainers who are also outspoken (and moronic) liberals, I agree with Laura Ingraham when she says, “Shut up and sing!” But when it comes to Barry Manilow and his nausea-inducing music, I suggest strongly that he just plain Shut Up!
Where’s the diverstiy & tolerance Barry Butt-Licker?
He must be WAY out to the left ....

Offenders forced to listen to Barry Manilow

A COLORADO judge has sentenced people busted for noise pollution to one hour of listening to unpopular or unusual music.
Mostly young adult offenders were kept in a room and made to listen to Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You, Karen Carpenter and Barry Manilow with the volume up loud, CBS4Denver.com reported.
Most offenders, who were not allowed to eat, drink, read or sleep, found the punishment funny at first. But then the boredom set in.
“At about 20 minutes into it, I was trying not to fall a sleep,” offender Luis Cano said.
Judge Paul Sacco, who carries out the punishment about four times per year, said the sentenced fit the crime.
“When you have a person playing rap at extreme volumes all over the city, and they have to sit down and listen for an hour to Barry Manilow, its horrible punishment,” he said.

Bad move for “Barely Man-enough”.
He was probably eligible to be a hostess on The View.
There ya go!
Troubling development.....very troubling.
That’s inhumane!
Stop going through my record collection! ;op
Well he’s ugly and a stupid song singer. So there.
Whaaaaaaaaahhh! If you won’t play ball my way then I’m not playing. (pout*stomp*stomp*pout*stomp*stomp)
Years ago, the reviewer for the San Diego Reader wrote that Barry was a ‘Uctious Aardvard’ — Barry’s manager called and demanded to know what ‘Uctious’ meant.The reviewer hung up on him.
Hard at work, I see.
Yeah, milk it for all it's worth.
