Take a deep breath: Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the comely conservative voice on The View, is not headed to Fox News.

Although she's clashed repeatedly with her fellow Viewers over the presidential campaign and various social issues and was said to be "really unhappy" according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times, the wife, mother and McCain supporter wants to let the public know she's not headed over to the fair and balanced confines of Fox.

Usually a hotbed of friendly hostility onscreen, The View was reportedly a hotbed of good vibrations backstage this week. That's because musician and erotic boutique owner Dave Stewart, of Eurhythmics fame, brought samples of his sex-shop wares for each of the show's divas.

Specifically, according to the gossips at Page Six, Stewart brought $325 gold vibrators for Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, which had the women "atwitter over their present."

Needless to say, we expect the show to be really humming next week.

The ladies of the View have officially been photographed together for the first time, with Sherri Shepherd finally earning her place as the fifth horsewoman at the roundtable of the apocalypse.

Sherri's arrival last year signified an end to several tumultuous seasons marked by on-air feuding, off-air feuding, babies being born, tears and much grammatically incorrect blogging.

Also relegated to the ages was the stressful yet ultimately successful search for a person who was, all at once, a believer in the 15th-century solar system, a supporter of this country's one-year election cycle and good on television.

And now, with their struggles but a memory, the cast places Sherri in its center, symbolically holding the daytime-TV family together and placing an even more comfortable distance between Whoopi and Elisabeth.
