Regis Philbin, host of Live with Regis and Kelly, announced last week that, in addition to the Fridays he already has off, he wants to take Thursdays off as well. From what Philbin says, new WABC general manager Rebecca Campbell wasn't exactly thrilled with the plan.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a co-host on The View, birthed a conservative baby boy on Friday. In stellar sweeps fashion, Hasselbeck will call the show Monday morning to reveal the baby's name. Be sure to set the DVR's!
