Victims of racial discrimination take heart -- you now have an ally in none other than Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

On 'The View,' Hasselbeck claimed to have received stares as she and her daughter, whose favorite toy is a black doll, walked through the streets of New York. And now, she says, she can relate to being black.

We get that Sherri Shepherd of 'The View' wants to jump John Stamos' bones, but please do us a favor and at least wait until the show is over.

Shepherd abandoned all forms of subtlety on 'The View' yesterday when the former star of 'Full House' and 'ER' appeared as a guest.

On June 23, 2009, the trademark laugh of the greatest sidekick of all time was silenced as Ed McMahon floated up to the great sidekick couch on the sky. While Publisher's Clearing House commercials and 'Star Search' reruns will never be the same, the good news is that McMahon, who rose up in the wake of some pretty stellar sidekicks himself, set the bar high for those to follow.

Perhaps he set it too high, though, as newcomers to the talk show field like Jimmy Fallon and Craig Ferguson have chosen to fly solo on their talk shows. And that's a shame. Like wine in a box and BBC America series, these straight men of the chat circuit are all too often underappreciated and overshadowed but consistently, inconspicuously deliver the goods.

'All My Children' is moving its production from New York to Los Angeles in January -- but not everything is coming with it.

In what may be every soap-lover's fantasy, the show has decided to host a yard sale to clear out some old inventory. The sale will be held this Monday, Nov. 23 from 11AM to 3PM at the Rachael Ray Studio.

Attendees take note: Ray's talk show will be taping the garage sale for a segment that will air on a future episode -- so, in other words, if you're there to buy one of Billy Clyde Tuggle's pimp hats, be prepared to have your friends and family find out about it.

Proceeds will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. To obtain a ticket, contact Karina at 917-332-3188. Cash and credit will be accepted.

After being in the closet her entire show business career, Rosie O'Donnell seemed to think she had something to prove after coming out. The Queen of Nice, who wooed daytime audiences by blushing about Tom Cruise, got angry and political. She blindsided Tom Selleck about gun control during his appearance on her show and called herself a "d*ke" at an Ovarian Cancer Research benefit. She looked mean.

Her fans were scared. Her career faltered. 'The View' hired her to stir up controversy, but she stirred too hard.

Two years later, after her two ugly departures from daytime TV, it seems Rosie has gained some kind of peace and is focused on entertaining audiences again. Is it going to last? Why should we care? Here are five reasons we think the Rosie we used to know may finally be back to stay.

Proving once and for all that vampires do indeed suck, Bill O'Reilly manages on 'The View's' Halloween-themed episode to plug his new book "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" and take a swipe at Whoopi Goldberg and her predecessor Rosie O'Donnell in one fell swoop.

Not to be outdone, a clearly vexed Whoopi fires back with, "I've been Whoopi Goldberg for almost 25 years. You are the least of my problems." Better break out your cloves of garlic, Whoopi.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck returned to 'The View' yesterday with quite the cautionary tale in postpartum file sharing. Hasslebeck told viewers that she fired off digital photos of her newborn, Isaia, to her extended family and friends before realizing that her nipple was exposed in the pic.

We know the co-host likes to overshare at times, but you've got to feel for her father- and brother-in-law. It's probably not the kind of family photo they were looking to save to their desktops.

Get ready for more baby mama drama on 'The View': According to the AP, Elisabeth Hasselbeck will return to the show on Oct. 19, just 10 weeks after giving birth to her third child, Isaiah Timothy.

In the meantime, celebrity guests -- among them Heidi Montag, Khloe Kardashian and Lisa Ling, who began her two-day gig this afternoon -- will continue to fill in for the Emmy winner. Previous guest hosts included La Toya Jackson and Kate Gosselin.

While we may not always agree with Elisabeth's 'View,' we're pretty excited for her return -- and here are five reasons you should be, too.

TBS pulls the plug on 'The Bill Engvall Show,' Vincent D'Onofrio departs 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent,' Heidi Montag books 'The View' and more of today's top TV headlines.
