- Legendary singer Barry Manilow has cancelled a scheduled appearance on TV show The View, because he dislikes co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

But Manilow pulled out of the show, after stating he finds right-wing host Hasselbeck "dangerous and offensive" and strongly disagrees with her "conservative views."

In a statement, Manilow says, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her... I cannot compromise my beliefs."

He adds, "I had made a request that I be interviewed by co-hosts Joy (Behar), Barbara (Walters) or Whoopi (Goldberg), but not Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request, so I bowed out."

Manilow's pal Rosie O'Donnell quit The View in May after a heated and politically charged public dispute with Hasselbeck.
