THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards Finalist, Best Non-Fiction Book

The gossipy real-life soap opera behind a serious show.

When Barbara Walters launched The View, network executives told her that hosting it would tarnish her reputation. Instead, within ten years, she'd revolutionized morning TV and made household names of her co-hosts: Joy Behar, Star Jones, Meredith Vieira and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. But the daily chatfest didn't just comment on the news. It became the news. And the headlines barely scratched the surface.

Based on unprecedented access, including stunning interviews with nearly every host, award-winning journalist Ramin Setoodeh takes you backstage where the stars really spoke their minds. Here's the full story of how Star, then Rosie, then Whoopi tried to take over the show, while Barbara struggled to maintain control of it all, a modern-day Lear with her media-savvy daughters. You'll read about how so many co-hosts had a tough time fitting in, suffered humiliations at the table, then pushed themselves away, feeling betrayed--one nearly quitting during a commercial. Meanwhile, the director was being driven insane, especially by Rosie.

Setoodeh uncovers the truth about Star's weight loss and wedding madness. Rosie's feud with Trump. Whoopi's toxic relationship with Rosie. Barbara's difficulty stepping away. Plus, all the unseen hugs, snubs, tears--and one dead rodent.

Ladies Who Punch shows why The View can be mimicked and mocked, but it can never be matched.

Great Value heat gear material with high neck collar and loose fitting
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
My husband has been looking for mock neck shirts that are comparable to UA heat gear material but that are short sleeve and fit loose to wear under his work uniform. These seemed to have been a good soft quality option and the price is is great.

Fit me even better than I was hoping.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Beau Blue
I was all but convinced upon receipt I would be sending these back but they fit beautifully. The trick is understanding what the directions are trying to tell you. I’m 6’4 with a 40 inch waist on traditional jeans (regular fit). I selected 2XL because my feeling was I would want and need a waist line that would fit me but not constrict me. Admittedly my regular fits were getting close to not fitting as good anymore so I felt 2XL would give me that “extra” my regular fits were no longer affording me. Comfortable at the waist(not too tight) and they fit me nicely all over. Perfect length. Colors look great too. The pictures shown are accurate. I’ll be ordering more. Give these a try! Definitely worth the money.

amazing pair of jeans!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dirty Blue
im 6'2, 280 currently , bought a 38/32 pair of, these jeans and will instantly look forward to buying more, just for comparison , the same day i got these i tried on a pair of levis i had just bought as well, the Levi jeans i got were also 38/32, and they were the 501's which are stretchy, but maaaan, let me tell you, the difference between those and these are night and day, these feel like i can run a mile in them and do whatever activities i choose to, its stretchy in all the right places, the crotch area isnt tight at all, these are incredibly breathable and in comparison to the levi's price , these are cheaper by $15 and they weren't even on sale, unlike the levis which were on sale by 15% and STILL costed $50. Will buy more ASAP. 10/10

stretch jeans
Size: Large, Color: Dirty Blue
These jeans because they are very comfortable. They stretch just the right amount without binding. I am female but wear men's jeans. These jeans ride lower so sometimes slide down. I ended up solving that issue by ordering a second pair in a smaller size. Worked perfectly. They stretch so no problem there, and now they stay up!
