My Big Fat Greek Divorce
First Barbara Walters, now her husband -- Debbie Matenopoulos has been quit on again.
Jay Faires, prez of music at Lionsgate, has filed for divorce from the former "View" host and soon-to-be former wife.
In papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Faires cites "irreconcilable differences." They were married in July 2003. According to the docs, they have been separated since March 22, 2008. Faires filed the divorce docs Wednesday.
We don't know if she gets to keep the rock, which has an estimated value of a small country.
Elisabeth to Joy Don't Hassel the Beck
The supposed catfighting at "The View" continues.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports Elisabeth is none too pleased Joy did a "vicious impression" of her at a comedy gig. She wore a "ratty green coat" to mock the outfit Hasselbeck donned at a Sarah Palin rally, and took a dig at EH for ridiculing the press about the whole Palin-wardrobe thing. "Elisabeth spends that much in a month," joked Joy.
That's an exaggeration, admits an "associate of Hasselbeck," but it "apparently enraged" her nonetheless.

Whoopi Goldberg tried to bait Sen. John McCain into saying something stupid today on "The View" -- by wondering whether he would turn the White House into a plantation.

Obama -- Brad's the Hot One in the Family
The yentas of "The View" went all googly-eyed for Barack Obama on today's show, but it was Barbara Walters who really went there with Barack.
When asked about being Brad Pitt's ninth cousin, Obama said that Brad was the one who got the looks in the family -- Babwa disagreed, strongly. And then they had to go and talk about stuff like foreign policy and race relations and O-blah-blah-blah-ma ...

Mama Hasselbeck's a Hottie?
Resident "View" arch-conservative and Barry Manilow's WFF, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, has dropped her righty facade to bare it all for Pregnancy magazine! Just kidding!
The soon-to-be mom did shoot these fully clothed pics for the November 2007 issue, and TMZ got a sneak peek, if you dare.
This will be the second child for the shrill chat brat. Who knew pregnant could look so, um, appealing?
Manilow's 'View' of Elisabeth 'It Didn't Feel Good'
After he ditched "The View" -- or got ditched by them, depending on who you're talking to -- Barry Manilow and his face seemed to be unmoved by the uproar over his Hasselbeck boycott. And that's Barry in the picture here, not Babwa Walters.
TMZ caught up with the man of exactly one face after a rehearsal, and he told us that while he loved "all those people" at "The View," appearing with Elisabeth on the show "didn't feel good." Barry said he wouldn't appear on the show because he disagreed with what he deemed Hasselbeck's "dangerous" opinions.
Meanwhile, on today's show, Elisabeth wondered if, given recent studies about older men and younger women, she and Manilow couldn't get along down the road. Whoopi said that Barry had already agreed to be on "The View" again soon -- and we're presuming that means that Elisabeth will have to be there, too.
