Barry Manilow was originally scheduled to appear this week however that will now not happen. According to TMZ this is due to his personal dislike for Elisabeth Hasselbeck. In a statement to TMZ Manilow said, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her." (Brilliant!)
TMZ clarifies that he will not appear because the show's producers decided against having him as a guest after his people requested Elisabeth be absent. You can read the full artile here.
I'm a Fanilow.
UPDATE: The IMDb reports a longer quote from Manilow...
"I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her... I cannot compromise my beliefs." He adds, "I had made a request that I be interviewed by co-hosts Joy Behar, Barbara Walters or Whoopi Goldberg, but not Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request, so I bowed out."
