fracas

Earlier today, fracas wondered (but not too seriously) whether or not Barry Manilow was suffering memory loss  regarding his refusal to appear on The View with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I concluded it was all a publicity stunt of the smarmiest nature, to promote his new cd.

It seems there is more to this story, and in fact, the problem isn’t memory loss, but missing testicles. You know… cojones.

Over at Hot Air, I read that Manilow has been chumming with none other than Rosie O’Donnell, and because the Copacabana singing smarm-onster had appeared on The View twice previously while Hasselbeck was a host, this pathetic story about her conservative views offending him appears to be no more than a juvenile I-won’t-be-your-friend-if-you-don’t-help-me-get-even-with-Elisabeth kind of thing we advise our 14 year old children not to get involved in.

I’d like to say I’m surprised at all this, but here at the fracas blog, I’ve been pretty clear about what I think of Rosie. No, really. You’re still not sure what I think of Rosie? How about now?

From Hot Air:

“Access Hollywood calls them “longtime friends” but speculates that this is less a matter of Rosie leaning on him to take revenge on Hasselbeck than him trying to kick up some buzz for the new album. Exit question: It’s Rosie’s fault, right? Sure it is. “

So I wasn’t all that wrong. It is a health problem for poor Manilow.

No balls.
