Midler and McDreamy Tease Babs

Star Jones back on "The View" - huh?! Even in the midst of a Star war, Barbara Walters reveals the possibility of Jones returning to the show as a guest host! "I don't know what the situation might be," says Babs in an "Extra" exclusive, "but I could see having Star and Rosie back on [the show.]" Wow!

As the revelations keep coming -- Hollywood's finest are weighing in on the host conflagration! This morning on "GMA," the tables were turned on the interview queen, as she was in the hot seat with Bette Midler and McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey. Bette poked fun at Barbara's newly illuminated sex life, saying, "Barbara, I didn't know you had it in you." Funny woman Midler then jokingly asked, "Did you sleep with my husband?" A good-natured Walters answered, "Listen Bette, I would have if I could have!"

Dempsey also delved into a personal issue -- nicknames! When asked if she had an alias, the Emmy-winner said, "When I was growing up, we all wanted to have masculine names -- in college I was known as Bobby."

Now revealing her extraordinary life to the world in her memoir, "Audition," Barbara says that she's never been in a better place. "I'm in a very happy place in my life and, therefore, I can look back. I hope that people can relate to my struggles."

Star Jones is still pissed off that she was fired from the view and she just needs to get over it. I love Barbara Walters and she has the much gained respect of all her peers, she IS only human, it happens. I’ve never liked Star, and judging by the way the rest of the journalists are on Barbara’s side, despite what she’s done, they don’t like Star either. She’s a crybaby that needs to find a new career because no one likes her.

I had always held Barbra Walters in high regard thinking, foolishly I guess, that she was out there breaking ground for women.. It was very disappointing to learn that both she and Oprah seem to have no regard for the feelings of other women. Instead they flaunt their affairs with other womens husband like a badge of honor.. I have not been a huge Star fan but the lady is right. It is pathetic to see these two figure that going public will somehow make them trendy instead they will just being thought of as trash.
