TMZ has learned that legendary singer Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on "The View" tomorrow -- because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative view! Paging Rosie O'Donnell!

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her." Barry, taking a stand!

Barry! I had offered to take you out to dinner! But now I'm just disappointed in you. What do you have to say for yourself?

Maybe this is why Soup keeps him under lock and key?

GO Barry, stand your ground under the harshest critics.

Heheh..."under."

Bwahahahahaaaaaa!

Good thing she didn't say BEHIND!!!

LOL BBO, you so rock!

I think it is a travesty we haven't had a By-Torian get-together with you involved yet. I think it would be an awesome time, especially if we got you to rant about politics!

Oh, man that would be fun. Not the ranting bit, but standing in a room with alla you'se would be fantastic and surreal. There would be so much laughter we'd all be in danger of being committed. It'll happen someday. Something that positive and exciting must happen.

I guess we can all hope and pray and look forward!

Not one of today's headlines, but interesting just the same:

Smithsonian Returns Sitting Bull's Hair to Family

September 18, 2007 - 6:46am

WASHINGTON (AP) - A lock of hair and leggings that belong to Sioux Indian Chief Sitting Bull are being returned by the Smithsonian to his descendants.

Sitting Bull was killed while being arrested by tribal police in 1890. The lock of hair and leggings were obtained by an Army doctor, who later donated them to the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum.

The museum returned the items following a request by the great-grandson of Sitting Bull, who became famous for defeating Lt. Col. George Custer at the battle of Little Bighorn.

The director of the museum's repatriation office said it was an honor to meet Sitting Bull's descendants and to work together toward returning the items to the family.

I wonder if the Smithsonian washed the hair before returning it?

Reminds me of Tommy Smothers going on about stupid Indian names...

"Good morning Mrs. Bull, can Sitting come out and play?"

"G'morning Mrs. Water, can Running come out and play?C'mon out , Water, c'mon!!! C'mon out and run your water!!!"

That sounds eerily Carlin-esque, but I'm sure Carlin "borrowed" from
Tommy....

"Art"?

Lucky she didn't have the MP5 put "ventilation holes" in her body from the sounds of it...

Police said after her arrest, Simpson answered questions rationally and was upset to be in custody, but did not appear to understand the seriousness of what she had done.

On her Web site, Simpson described herself as someone who loves "crazy ideas" and has been "traveling the world and saving the planet from evil villains with my delivered-just-in-time gadgets."

I think some people just don't get reality.

More like "trying to save the planet while living on another one".
