Elisabeth Hasselbeck made an awkward mistake Thursday on "The View,"
asking Stanley Tucci if his recently deceased wife had seen his film,
The Lovely Bones.
In fairness, Tucci did bring up his wife first, telling the ladies
that she had read the book and didn't want him to do the film.
"My wife had read the book and the first thing she said was, 'You
can't do that,'" Tucci said. "And she might have been right, I don't
know."
"Has she seen it?" Hasselbeck asked. "Has she seen any parts of it?"
Tucci did not seem flustered by the question, but responded with
quick, "No, no, no."
Tucci's wife Kate died in the spring after battling cancer.

An awkward moment but not unclassy...she wanted to know
if his wife found something she approved of in his performance.

Was this the wife he deserted for awhile to shack up with Edie Falco?
(You stay classy Stanley!)

So what are we to infer from this? That Hasselbeck didn't know
his wife had died? Fine. That's not a matter of stupidity, at least.
Now, Whoopi Goldberg on the other hand, when discussing the
case of Roman Polanski, who anally raped a 13 year old girl, said "It
wasn't rape rape". Well, thanks for distinguishing that for us you
former crackhead and current idiot.

I don't much care for Hasselbeck, but she was in the middle of a

been said, and Hasselbeck either didn't know, or had forgotten, that
Tucci's wife had died. Embarrassing, sure, but understandable.
There was no excuse for what Goldberg said. None.

Bullshit. You don't think they're briefed when the guests come on the
show? You could claim that she was uninformed through the fault of the
producers, but you should come up with some proof first. The more
likely scenario is she's just stupid and inserted her foot in her mouth
for the eight millionth time.

You really think they sat her down before the show like Basil Fawlty
and told her that, whatever you do, don't mention the wife? Really?
I need *proof* to state that I thought this was an honest mistake?
What am I supposed to do? Issue subpoenas? Make everybody submit to
lie detector tests?
I have no use for Hasselbeck and even less for this.

Re read the definition of "breifed"...it means ...a paragraph on
Tuci's
current movie, what the movie is about, and what's next on his filming
calendar.
Michael Black
Of course they get briefed. But why would they say "And Elizabeth, his
wife is dead..."? That requires an expectation that it come up, and that
they not know about the death. Which means that no matter what they get
briefed on, there is always something outside that realm that could come
up, and cause blunders.

Because *they* brought up the subject of his wife. Sherri asked him
something about his wife not liking the script and asking him not to
do the movie. So if they were going to bring up the topic, why not
also tell everyone that his wife had died?
Maybe...she should have known.
trotsky
I'll give you a for instance: look at Janeane Garofalo's character on
"The Larry Sanders Show". She was constantly feeding him inside
knowledge about what he can and can't talk about with the guests. And
that show was as much a behind the scenes look at a TV show as you can get.

If you're going to bring up somebody's family members in the chatty
fashion of "The View", you damn well better know if they're alive or
dead. If you want to blame that on Hasselbeck or the staff of the show
is open for discussion. Hasselbeck always struck me as being
exceptionally stupid, so I'm inclined to blame her.

Uh, no. If you think I think she was told about the wife and mentioned
it anyway then you haven't been paying attention. Eight years of Bush
and the whole world has to re-learn how to understand written and spoken
languages. Pay attention to what's being said you goofball.

In fairness to you, your reading comprehension is about what one should
expect from someone who calls himself "Bubba".

If the wife had read the script, why should it have been an impossibility
that she had seen some of the filming as well?

I didn't insult you. Grow up.
And what *are* you saying? You don't like Hasselbeck and you think
she's stupid? Fine. The point remains, what happened here?

As I said, grow up. In fact, grow the fuck up.
With regard to reading comprehension, try reading the transcript of
what was said. Tucci said his wife didn't like the source material and
didn't think it would make a good film. Not his "late wife," just his
wife. Hasselbeck, who was actually listening to what Tucci was saying,
followed up with a reasonable question about whether his wife had seen
the film or any part of it. You seem to be saying she should have
known that Tucci's wife had died. Well, sure. But Tucci, as they say,
brung it up.

Exactly. I didn't see the show, but I have to agree with Obveeus. Tucci's
wife died after she had read the book and asked him not to do the movie. Why
wouldn't it be a possibility that his wife saw parts of the movie...not a
finished product, maybe...but parts. Could it be someone (a liberal) is
making a stink over nothing just to make Elizabeth look badly?
