Rachel Uchitel to Joy Behar: I-ka-tell You're Sorry

If only Tiger Woods' wife was as forgiving as his alleged mistress.

Rachel Ucitel, Joy Behar

Rachel Uchitel heard Joy Behar's apology on "The View" this morning loud and clear -- and she forgives the gals for calling her a hooker on last week's show.

Rachel's lawyer, Gloria Allred, released a statement that read in part, "We accept ABC's apology and this resolves the matter with ABC. Our action and this apology should also send a message to the public that Rachel values her reputation and that she will consider all of her legal options against anyone or any entity which defames her."

Joy's 'View' Apology -- Fingers Crossed

Gloria Allred worked her magic again and managed to squeeze a slightly disingenuous-yet-televised apology out of Joy Behar for calling her client, Rachel Uchitel -- Tiger Woods' alleged mistress #1 -- a "hooker" on "The View."

Just moments ago on-air, Behar read the same statement that was sent out via press release last week ... and she didn't look happy about it.

As we previously reported, Rachel threatened to sue "The View" over Joy's comment -- and Allred didn't feel the written apology the show released was good enough.

Uchitel to 'The View' -- Broadcast It If You Mean It

Rachel Uchitel -- Tiger's alleged mistress #1 -- appreciates the apology from "The View" for calling her a "hooker" ... but the show's written apology ain't enough.



Rachel's lawyer, Gloria Allred, wants "The View" to air the apology on the show -- or it doesn't count.

Rachel threatened to sue "The View" over Joy Behar's joke on Thursday's show: "Yeah, you-ka-tell she's a hooker." The show has already issued a written apology ... but Gloria says the mea culpa needs a mic.

'View' to Uchitel: Sorry 'Bout that Hooker Thing

The women of "The View" have caved to the mighty Gloria Allred -- because one day after Allred threatened to sue 'em for calling Rachel Uchitel a "hooker," The View has issued an apology.

Rachel Uchitel
A rep for the show tells TMZ: "Joy Behar made a play on Ms. Uchitel's name. This was intended as a joke. We sincerely apologize for the choice of words and for any misimpression the joke may have created."

The play on words: Joy saying "Yeah, you-ka-tell she's a hooker."

Rachel Uchitel -- No Joy Being Called Hooker

Rachel Uchitel is threatening to sue the ladies at "The View" -- or at least one of them -- for suggesting she's a hooker.

Gloria Allred, lawyer for Tiger Wood's alleged mistress #1, is pissed that Joy Behar joked on the show on Thursday, "Yeah, you-ka-tell she's a hooker."

Gloria says the statement was false, defamatory and highly offensive -- and hurtful, too.

G.A. says Rachel is "not amused" because "she values her reputation and her reputation has been damaged..."

Gloria wants a retraction, or else.

Stay tuned...

Adam Lambert & ABC Kiss and Make Up

ABC has lifted the ban on Adam Lambert -- and officially booked him to perform on an upcoming episode of "The View" ... in the hopes that he sticks to the script this time.



ABC had previously dropped Lambert from two of the network's shows, in response to catching the network "off-guard" when he improvised his act at the American Music Awards -- and made out with a dude ... something ABC claims he didn't do in rehearsal.

But after taking sharp criticism for their decision, ABC is extending the olive branch -- with an invitation to perform on a December 10 episode of "The View."

Wonder how Elisabeth Hasselbeck will take the news...

A lucid Mischa said she was already "overwhelmed" by work when she went in for surgery, which only made things worse. Barton says she was sent to the psychiatric ward because, "If you say anything, like, negative in the hospital and they think you're a risk to yourself, they hold you, they won't let you go."

Mischa said she hit "rock bottom," but is "fine" now and called the whole ordeal a "wake-up call."
