"&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE: &lt;/strong&gt;A source tells TMZ that it's not Barry who's writing &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; song -- in fact, \"View\" producers pulled the plug on Manilow's performance when his people demanded that he appear on the show without Elisabeth. Manilow has in fact performed on the show twice before -- both last year -- when Hasselbeck's been co-hosting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMZ has learned that legendary singer &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.barrymanilow.com/\"&gt;Barry Manilow&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on \"The View\" tomorrow -- because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative view! Paging Rosie O'Donnell!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2007/09/17/0917_elizabeth_barry_2-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, \"I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her.\" Barry, taking a stand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Manilow is currently on a press tour promoting the release of his new album, \"Greatest Songs of the Seventies.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A network spokesman had no comment. &lt;br /&gt;\n\n&lt;noscript&gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"http://ar.atwola.com/link/93220548/2058803438/aoladp?target=_blank&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;border=0\" target=\"_blank\"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img src=\"http://ar.atwola.com/image/93220548/2058803438/aoladp\" alt=\"advertisement\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\" /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;/center&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
