Manilow's mad

Sees that ol' Barry, "can't laugh, can't sing" and can't be interviewed by Elisabeth Hasselback.

The man who made Mandy famous has since boycotted the ladies on "The View." Seems Manilow, who's a huge (had to be done) friend of Rosie O'Donnell and tried to demand he be interviewed by everyone save for Hasselback, who had a very loud, useless and annoying beef with the boistrous O'Donnell that led to being canned and replaced by the ever-timid Whoopi.

But that's not the funny part. Seems that Barry has recorded a track for his upcoming record (that hopefully no one by my mother will buy) Greatest Hits of the Seventies ... a cover of Elton's Johns "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart."

But that's a duet you say ... oh yes ... It'll be Mr. Manilow and his good friend Rosie. I'm already in line at Best Buy to get my hands on that one.
