Avoid that 2:30 feeling with some zero-calorie snacks made of TV news."Haven" has been picked up for a second season on Syfy, ending a long string of one-and-done shows starring Eric Balfour.

"The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is joining "Good Morning America" as a contributor, covering "hot-button family, lifestyle and child-rearing issues" for ABC's morning news show. Her first piece, about kids with tattoos, is set to air Monday (Oct. 11). [ABC News]

When is someone going to stick a sock down Elizabeth Hasselbeck's throat? I can't stand that girl she is right on the top of the "Most Annoying Host" with Ryan Seacrest taking up a close second!
I'm happy they're renewing Haven. I enjoyed the show.
I totally agree with you Lisa...Ryan Seacrest is the main reason I quit watching that show...He always seems to think that he is better than anyone else...And I will no longer be watching Good Morning America cause I can't stand that Witch with a B..Elizabeth Hasselbeck...
I won't be watching GMA either if the ***** E. Hasselbeck is going to be on there. What makes her a specialist on raising kids? I feel sorry for her husband and her kids. The only reason they keep her on The View is because she is such a loser and her comments are so idiotic and stupid!
I'm not in love with Haven but I do need to know how it all turns out.
Now MORE suffering with that moron, no nothing, nobody from nowhere! Because she was willing to eat worms this makes her some sort of celebrity? That she shold ever be allowed to contradict and interrupt Barbara Walters is beyond me. And now she's some sort of family expert? Are they kidding?
E. Hass is one of the nicest ladies I've ever met. She is really down to earth. Not playing into the star thing at all. Not saying she is going to make me watch GMA, but they got a great girl.
Can't stand Elizabeth Hasselbeck either. There are so many talented people out there who have worked long and hard in the business and could do the job sooo much better and with much more class.Her claim to fame as a reality show contestant makes her only a glutton for publicity not an expert on anything.Could never understand why Barbara hired her.I can only think that her uncanny ability to annoy people intrigued Barbara.
