Peace Finally Comes to The View

The View Cast: Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar BOB D'AMICO/ABC

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.

Is it just me, or does Ashlee Dupree look like Elisabeth Hasselbeck?
—No Name Given

I agree that the two share a general bridge-and-tunnel vibe, but beyond that, meh. Unless I'm wrong. Go ahead and let me know in the comments section. I, meanwhile, will move on and answer more of your Burning Q's!

I read that Sherri Shepherd, who once wondered out loud if the world was flat, has had a ton of abortions. Why do stars share all this? TMI!
—Micki, New Jersey

Shepherd was spilling to a Christian women's magazine. You can't appear in one of those without sharing your life-affirming account of Jesus lifting you from the ashes. Shepherd's involved abusive relationships and, she says, "more abortions than I would like to count."

And, oh: The revelation certainly hasn't hurt the woman's profile, has it?

"Of all the people on The View, nobody pays attention to her," notes celebrity therapist Gilda Carle. "We know that Whoopi and Joy are outspoken, and we know all about crying Elizabeth. But now Sherri wants people to pay attention to her."

Now you pay attention to me, as I answer more of your Burning Q's!
