During an innocent discussion by Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the loss of her daughter's first tooth on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated), Joy Behar made her best attempt to start a political argument by referring to the "birther" movement which openly questions President Barack Obama's citizenship.

"[My daughter] has this tooth that's wildly loose. It's just, like, hanging on my a string. So, I'm nervous. I'm like, 'I've got to get prepared before this thing falls out,'" said Hasselbeck. "So I tweeted, 'What's a tooth going for?' and 'Any new ideas for the tooth fairy?' I haven't done this before."

'Life Unexpected' star Kristoffer Polaha is set to romance Sarah Michelle Gellar in CBS's 'Ringer.'

According to TVLine, Polaha will play Gellar's Siobhan's lover. Here's the catch -- he's currently married to Siobhan's best friend! In the pilot, Gellar plays twin sisters, Siobhan and Bridget, both women with quite a few secrets -- and bounties! Bridget poses at Siobhan, thus romantic entanglements begin. Oh, Siobhan is also married.

Get all that?

Mario Cantone had a typically high-energy appearance on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated), ranting and raving over weather predictions for recent storms in the Northeast, and frequent users of Facebook.

Mario Cantone was his normally effusive self on 'Whatever With Alexis and Jennifer' (weekdays, 12PM ET on HLMK), challenging Alexis Stewart to a bake-off mid-interview, then loudly defending himself when Stewart and Jennifer Koppelman Hutt challenged his baking skill.

One thing is for sure about 'Sex and the City 2' star Mario Cantone: He's never at a lack for energy. Joy Behar scolded the hyperkinetic Cantone on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated) and suggested he use his indoor voice when speaking.

Willie Garson and Mario Cantone of 'Sex and the City 2' dropped by the fourth hour of 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM ET on NBC) and gave a hilarious interview that touched on a range of topics, including less-than-stellar early reviews for their new movie, cross-dressing and making out with Hoda Kotb.

We've never had much of a desire to see actor/comedian Mario Cantone close up, but, thanks to 'The View' (weekdays, 11AM ET on ABC), we now can. Cantone appeared on the daytime talk show this morning and slammed the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson on last night's 52 Annual Grammy Awards, taking exception to the quality of the tribute and providing low-rent 3-D special effects of his own.

"Note to CBS: This is the Grammy Awards, not 'Avatar,' and there are 14 people who got the glasses. For those of us that didn't, it was not 3-D, it was blurry, very blurry ... It was not good," Cantone said, pressing his face against the camera again and again to illustrate his point.

Actor Mario Cantone appeared on 'The View' and took a swipe at Bob Dylan for his new collection of holiday standards, 'Christmas in the Heart,' and the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas special 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.'

Cantone said that Dylan's recent collection of otherwise beautiful Christmas carols is marred by his unique vocal style, and he offered an impression of the singer's gravelly voice to the tune of 'Here Comes Santa Claus.'

Megan Mullally to play an ex-wife on 'Parks and Recreation,' Marlee Matlin and Mario Cantone join a new Showtime comedy series and more of today's top TV casting headlines.

Rumors continue to fly as more and more people speculate who will take over Rosie O'Donnell's spot on The View. I haven't paid much attention to the ever-expanding list, but the two most recent names managed to catch my eye: Mario Cantone from Sex and the City and Ross "the Intern" Mathews from, most recently, Celebrity Fit Club. The View has always been about showcasing varying women's points of view, so how do Cantone and Mathews fit in there? Are they possible candidates just because they're gay men? Come on.
