Elisabeth Hasselbeck blames Sarah Palin for lack of Mitt Romney coverage

  

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who campaigned for Sarah Palin  in 2008 is now complaining that the former governor is distracting media attention from Mitt Romney.

On a recent episode of "The View," Hasselbeck used an interesting analogy to argue that the hockey mom's "One Nation" tour was stealing the thunder from Romney's plan to improve the economy.

"If I had termites in my house I'd get someone in there who could deal with it," the former contestant on "Survivor" explained. "Mitt Romney, right now, his specialty is the economy. I'd have him in there. Here's why we're not hearing it: because Sarah Palin's on a bus and right now she's manipulating, in terms of media attention."

Hasselback's angst against the Alaskan may seem odd considering that in 2008 Hasselbeck guaranteed that if Palin made it to the White House she would fight D.C. corruption.

"Did I mention that this woman, she's got a real knack for cleaning. She cleaned up house in Alaska. Yep," Hasselbeck said while introducing Palin at a rally in Tampa, Fla., in 2008. "All that corruption went out with the trash. Now whatever the good ol' boys are up to these days, that has no place in her state -- no place. And Gov. Palin will use that same mop to clean up Washington and.....

Wall Street, guaranteed." This isn't the first time the talk show cohost has been critical of Palin. In 2010 Hasselbeck reluctantly agreed with "View" colleague Joy Behar over SarahPac's use of cross-hairs in an advertisement against Democrats in the House who voted for the healthcare overhaul.

Early ‘Hangover 3′ Plot Details: The Wolfpack Really Goes Crazy

 

 

 

 

 

Zach Galifianakis has let slip that the plot for ‘The Hangover Part III’ looks to involve The Wolfpack on an adventure to free Alan from a mental institution.

By this point, most people seemed to have stopped going on about how The Hangover Part II basically amounted to a lackluster replica of its predecessor – and are instead now expressing their hope that the inevitable Part III will bring something new to the comedy table.
Right before Part II hit theaters, director Tod Phillips began discussing his plans for The Hangover Part III to NOT be “in the same template” as the first two entries in the series. So exactly what shenanigans might The Wolfpack be up to that don’t involve getting outrageously drunk one night, only to wake up to a crisis the next morning as they try and piece together what craziness went down?

Titanic II embarks on maiden voyage, lives up to its name

Titanic II: Briton Mark Wilkinson set out from Dorset's West Bay harbor in his inauspiciously named 16-foot cabin cruiser. 
You can guess what happened next.

If you can imagine the ship in this image as being only 16 feet long instead of 900 feet long, and with only one person on board instead of more than 2,000, and sinking in a balmy English harbor instead of the icy waters off of Newfoundland, then you can pretty much envision what happened to the Titanic II.

Rebecca Black makes cameo in Katy Perry music video.

 

 Rebecca Black has found a new place to get down on Friday.

Black, who rocketed to fame and ridicule after her in­cred­ibly thought provoking song, “Friday,” went viral, appears in the music video for Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” 
Because everything she does for the rest of her life must be related to that day of the week. 

In the teaser for the video, Perry’s nerdy alter ego, Kathy Beth Terry, and the 13-year-old viral video star attend to the same super cool, crazy party. 
The full music video will be released June 14.
Perry performed an acoustic version of “Friday” at a concert in Australia to the delight of the crowd.
