Mischa Barton Has A Rough Time On The View
We've already heard that Mischa Barton blamed her hospitalization on pain caused by complications from dental surgery. She repeated this explanation on 'The View' this morning, and the hosts apparently pressed her on that explanation.
Calling her hospitalization "silly," despite being "completely overwhelmed" by her situation, [Mischa], trying to deflect attention away from the subject, says on the program, "I mean, really, it was blown out of proportion, so it's kind of silly now to be talking about it because I'm so fine now, but it was really just a bad time for me," ABC News reports.
When Barbara Walters reportedly pointed out that the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center psychiatric ward "was not just any facility," Mischa repeated her explanation that she was suffering extreme pain after having her wisdom teeth removed.
Joy Behar then asked why Mischa had to be treated in the psychiatric unit if her problem was related to pain from dental surgery, and Mischa gave the following explanation:
"When they take you into the hospital for something when it goes really wrong if you're having a meltdown and you say something like 'I feel like I want to die' ... they start injecting you with things to calm down. Like I'm petrified of needles. Like absolutely petrified ... you can't come anywhere ... I had my blood drawn once in my life for my insurance."
Barton now insists all is well. "I just figure that if you hit rock bottom like that ... and you're around people, you know, you realize I'm nothing like these people," she says, before going into a fairly rambling recap of her experience.
"Anyway, I got really healthy since then," Barton adds.
I can't imagine having to discuss something so personal on national television! It sounds like Mischa was thrown off a little by the questioning. Yet she is working on her new show, 'The Beautiful Life,' so it looks like Mischa is doing better.

Jennifer Aniston Explains The GQ Cover
Marley & Me star Jennifer Aniston visited Barbara Walters and the gang on The View on Wednesday. While she was there, Barbara asked her what had happened to the girl next door from Friends and held up the GQ cover. Jennifer gave a revealing response.
Oh no she didn't! I mean, we all know that every magazine cover is photoshopped, but she actually admitted it?! Do you think Jennifer is just being very down-to-earth or looking for another headline-making quote? (If so, it was effective ;)
Jennifer explained how the photo came to be.
'There was a story behind this,' the Marley & Me star
explained. 'This had a whole concept. It was going to be in various
stages of undress. There was going to be me in a gown and men in
tuxedos. And then it would be me wearing the man's shirt. And he would
have no shirt on. And then they were supposed to get naked! Somehow I
don't know what happened!'"
Barbara asked Jennifer if she had been tricked. Jennifer did admit one additional detail about the photoshoot.
[T]hey got me bombed!"
I'm sure that was a joke. Jennifer has been in Hollywood a long time; she knows what she's doing!
Well, I think it's great that Jennifer admitted to the photoshopping; we all know it happens, but I think it's a sign of security that she can openly acknowledge it. And the picture doesn't look any less amazing!

Barbara Walters Signing Copies of Her New Book, 'Audition: A Memoir'
Barbara Walters was looking beautiful as she signed copies of her new book, 'Audition: A Memoir" at the Barnes & Noble in NYC yesterday. I wanted to find out how old she is exactly and ended up finding that she has two recorded birth dates. Either way she's in her late 70's and in my opinion looks great. Has anyone read her book, or plan on it?I watched her on Oprah last night (viva la DVR!!) and at some moments, she got me a little misty. Talking about her sister and how they told her she died seconds before throwing her on stage to give a speech, her relationship with Rosie, her hurt over the Star drama... it was all very REAL and HONEST. And HELLO - MARRIED MAN AFFAIR? What the heck was THAT? Blew. My. Mind.

Now Donald Trump Is Beefing With Barbara Walters
First Barbara Walters calls Donald Trump "that poor, pathetic man". Now Donald responds with a letter calling Barbara a liar that Access Hollywood got a hold of.
"Barbara Walters has taken the low road for the sake of her show rather than the sake of her morality," he wrote in an open statement, sent out not long after "The View's" East Coast broadcast. "She lied with star Jones and now she has chosen to lie again."
To see the full letter, CLICK HERE. Can someone say YAWN!?
More On The O'Donnell / Trump Feud
So Rosie O'Donnell just happened to be on a "planned vacation" during the airing of a show where Barbara Walters said the following statement:
"ABC has asked me to say this just to clarify things, and I will quote: 'Donald Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy. Several of his casino companies have filed for business bankruptcies. They are out of bankruptcy now,'" (source)
Convenient eh?
Barbara Walters Is Getting In The Fight
"I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of The View. I certainly hope and expect that this tempest will pass quickly."

Marcia Is Cross With Barbara Walters
When Barbara Walters asked Marcia Cross if she was a lesbian in front of her parents, Marcia couldn't believe it. Barbara knew that Marcia's parents were in the audience and still insisted on "going there". Cross handled the question as appropriately as she could and then lost all respect for Walters. My question is, why is she bringing all this up now?
Cross claims the incident made her lose respect for the veteran newswoman adding, "I have to tell you that I am not a huge Barbara Walters fan. That ended for me. "My dad was in the front row going, 'What did they say? Are you a what?' I just thought about Barbara, 'You didn't have to ask me that question. That was tabloid-y of you.'
"I felt really used. So now I don't really like looking at Barbara Walters!"
