A Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter has scrapped a scheduled appearance on Barbara Walter's "The View" because he doesn't want to be seen on the same stage as Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
Barry Manilow told TMZ.com that he "strongly disagrees" with Hasselbeck's views and that she is "dangerous and offensive."
This is the first time in the brief history of the show that a celebrity guest has demanded that one of the co-hosts be sidelined before a cameo appearance is made.
Manilow, who has been on the show before he even gave Hasselbeck a hug once scrapped the visit because, he said, someone needed to "stand up to these people."

Speaking of offensive I’d try to get that shnoz fixed! He looks like a Toucan eating a banana!
He’s a fun performer in Vegas. One show is enough. He made one or two memorable recordings. He may be a good person. He used really bad judgement thinking he could somehow make an impact on what people think of Rosie. Instead he made an impact on what people think of him. The advice, “Shut up and sing!” (Thank you, Laura.) is the best and let it go at that.
Barry Mannilow is a “trouser pilot,” that’s hilarious!
He’s also a “rump ranger,” “ky cowboy,” and “butt pirate.”
Barry Manilow is dangerous and offensive.
“Some of you people know WAY too much about The View....”
Ain’t nothing; I was on it.
Hold on thar!! Count me in! I don’t even watch excerpts on Fox News. It’s a good time to go clean... somthing...anything.
Yo mean Mary Man-to-B@@W!
They die faster than smokers.
I heard last night that Barry Manilow is set to release a new album and the Hasselbeck controversy was a publicity stunt to draw attention.
