Jessica Hahn: 5 Facts on the Scandal Queen Who Called Out Barbara Walters [VIDEO]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsDon't mess with Barbara Walters. Jessica Hahn, the one-time church secretary famous for a sex scandal involving televangelist Jim Bakker, learned this lesson the hard way on Tuesday's episode of "The View." Hahn attempted to contrast her infamous affair against host Barbara Walters' 1970s relationship with married Massachusetts Sen. Edward Brooke. "This wasn't an affair," Hahn said. "Unlike, I don't want to be cruel or anything, in your book 'Audition,' you had an affair with a senator." Walters, of course, swiftly threw her counter punch: "This is about you, my dear. This is not about me, ...
Father of Music Group The 5 Browns Admits Sexually Abusing Daughters
By not in system - AOL NewsPROVO, Utah -- The distraught father of The 5 Browns musical group pleaded guilty Thursday to sexually abusing his daughters when they were children in a deal that will send him to prison for at least 10 years. With scratches and bruises on his face from a crash in which his Porsche plunged 300 feet into a canyon, Keith Brown, 55, entered his plea to three felony counts in Fourth District Court. "He is terribly remorseful for what has happened and for what he has put his family through," defense attorney Steven Shapiro said after the hearing. "He recognizes that this is the next step in the ...
Sherri Shepherd Helps a Homeless 'Gladiator'
By David Moye - AOL NewsTwenty years ago, when Debbie Clark was known as "Storm" on TV's "American Gladiators," she was a fearless warrior in spandex. She needed nobody's help. Earlier this week, AOL News found Clark in a homeless shelter in San Diego. A knee injury had finished her career in sports, and domestic abuse had left her nowhere to turn, living in the street with her 10-year-old son. In the days since the story came out, several people have stepped forward to help, most notably Sherri Shepherd, co-host of "The View," who has promised to pay six months' rent for the former "Gladiator," along with gas ...
Sharron Angle Sends Joy Behar Flowers -- for Fundraising Boost
By Tom Kavanagh - Politics DailyJoy Behar didn't have nice things to say about Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle on "The View" Tuesday, and that's apparently just fine with the Tea Party favorite. Behar told viewers Wednesday that she had received flowers from Angle, who included a note saying, "Joy, raised $150,000 online yesterday. Thanks for your help." Behar, not one to hold her tongue when it comes to politics (or anything else), may have fanned the flames of Angle's support even more by saying the flowers were picked by illegal immigrants, and "they're not voting for you, bitch." Show founder Barbara Walters ...
Angle Sends Behar Flowers After 'Hell' Remark
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 27) -- How better to express one's gratitude than with the gift of flowers? Tuesday on "The View," host Joy Behar denounced Republican candidate Sharron Angle's latest television ad in stark terms, calling Angle "stupid" and a "b----" who was "going to hell." Behar went so far as to dare Angle to come visit the South Bronx and make similar statements as those featured in what Behar perceives as an overtly racist ad. Here's how the exchange transpired on the show. The day after Behar's tirade, however, Angle responded by sending the host a bouquet of flowers, the National Review ...
'Newlywed' Sherri Shepherd Ready to 'Make Whoopee' on TV
By Monica Garske - AOL News
(Oct. 27) -- Comedian Sherri Shepherd makes conversation every weekday on "The View," but now, she's using her energy for something else: to "make whoopee" on TV every evening. Now, it's not as vulgar as it sounds. You see, Shepherd is the new host of the Game Show Network's modern-day revamp of "The Newlywed Game," which begins its fourth season Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. (ET/PT). Game Show Network Sherri Shepherd is the newest host of "The Newlywed Game" on GSN. Shepherd is following in the footsteps of beloved "Newlywed" hosts before her, most notably original emcee Bob Eubanks, who famously ...
Joy Behar Calls Sharron Angle the B-Word; Says She's 'Going to Hell'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyWhat an election year for female candidates. First an aide to Jerry Brown refers to Meg Whitman as a "whore," and now this. On Tuesday, during a discussion of a recent Sharron Angle TV ad, which hits Majority Leader Harry Reid for supporting illegal immigrants, "The View's" Joy Behar said, "I'd like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx. 'Come here, bitch! Come to New York and do it!' " Behar went on to add, "She's going to hell." She then used the b-word again to describe Angle, prompting Barbara Walters to say (perhaps jokingly): "If she says this one more time, I'm going to walk off ...
Juan Williams' Firing: Censorship or Partisan Games Between NPR and Fox News?
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyAlways vigilant at resisting any and all attempts to squelch liberal voices, the political Left has been exhibiting an untoward inclination to suppress the speech of those with whom they do not agree. This disquieting impulse reveals itself in myriad ways, from shouting down Karl Rove in a Beverly Hills bookstore and boycotting businesses that contribute to Republicans, to advocating an Orwellian-named "fairness doctrine" designed to muzzle right-wing talk radio or demanding the firing of commentators who run afoul of their sensibilities. The caveat should be added that this instinct is not ...
Levi Johnston's Platform: 'I Couldn't Tell You'
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News
(Oct. 19) -- Levi Johnston made his campaign platform public for the first time on Monday during an appearance on ABC's "The View." It's impressive in its brevity, more so than its content. "What can you do that no one else can do? Why should they vote for you?" Whoopi Goldberg asked during an interview with the former fiance of Bristol Palin. "At this point in time, I couldn't tell you," Johnston answered to the collective disapproval of "The View" ladies. However, in Johnston's defense, he did say he "was running for mayor, what, a month ago?" Here is a short clip (with no platform, the ...
