ELISABETH HASSELBECK - HASSELBECK RETURNS TO THE VIEW

TV presenter ELISABETH HASSELBECK is to return to U.S. chatshow THE VIEW just weeks after giving birth to her son. The conservative co-host will be back at the table with Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd on Monday, ABC have announced. Hasselbeck, 30, has been away since 23 October (07). She gave birth to son Taylor Thomas on 09 November (07), her second child with football star husband Tim Hasselbeck. A representative for the network tells People.com, "Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepard joined the show shortly before Elisabeth left, so there wasn't much opportunity for all five co-hosts to interact. Now there will be a new dynamic at the Hot Topics table."
