DOUBLE-HEADER FOR BARBARA & HER “VIEW” CAST
It was another star-studded day on the location set of The View at Caesars Palace.
Barbara Walters welcomed future Steve Wynn Encore entertainer Danny Gans, our hunk-hero Chippendale dancers and American Idol singers David Cook and David Archuleta for the live show sent via satellite back east at 8 a.m. and then the cast pre-taped tomorrow’s (THURS) show with The Venetian headliner Wayne Brady, The Hills star Heidi Montag with a fashion show and the long-running Jubilee! showgirls from Ballys.
Little wonder with the early call “on set” that co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck spent her afternoon’s relaxing with friends poolside at the chic topless optional Venus Pool Club at Caesars Palace. No, she didn’t doff her top and she only stuck to the strawberry lemonade! She returned for a second-consecutive day and brought co-host Sherri Shepherd with her. Meantime, Sherri also took in the hunky Chippendales dance show at the Rio, and big View fan, Larry Edwards a.k.a. Hot Chocolate at our Krave nightclub here, joined her when she went on stage to participate in a cheer-challenge. She won and Larry came in a close second but she invited him to yesterday’s (TUES) taping where he met Barbara.
Barbara herself had a reunion dinner with her ex-husband and last night (TUES) took all the ladies to see Bette Midler’s show at Caesars!
Today (WED) Barbara’s guests are our Harrah’s favorite comedienne Rita Rudner and singer Jessica Simpson who was here in Vegas two weekends ago for the gala opening of the new George Maloof Palms Place condo-tel.
At 10:30 a.m. another pre-taped show will feature Caesars Palace headline star Bette Midler, Monte Carlo magician Lance Burton and the Kardashian sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney. It will air Friday morning (June 27).
From 1 p.m.-3 p.m. today (WED) Barbara will also autograph copies of her new Audition book at the Fountain of the Gods near Wolfgang Puck’s Spago restaurant in The Forum Shops of Caesars Palace.
