Don't worry, she'll still be around to antagonize the ladies on The View, but now she'll also be pulling double duty on Good Morning America, covering family and parenting issues.
Her new gig starts Monday and will feature a segment on kids and tattoos... and kids who get tattoos with their parents! Hmmm...
In a statement, Elisabeth said, “I am thrilled to join the Good Morning America team, and I am thankful for this opportunity to raise awareness and explore the most important issues facing parents and children." Like tattoos?

The Britney/Brittany Glee episode may have been a hit with the record 13.3 million people who tuned in, but one group who was not a fan of the show was the Parent's Television Council, who blasted the program for not only the "explicit sexual content", but also the "deification" of the troubled pop-star herself.
In a statement, the conservative watchdog group said:
"Glee earned its highest ratings ever with this Britney Spears tribute, drawing 13.3 million viewers.
A scary thought considering that the mostly young teen/tween audience basically witnessed an endorsement of narcotics abuse, public masturbation, and school-sanctioned burlesque. But perhaps most troubling is the deification of a troubled pop star into a symbol of empowerment and self-esteem.
Considering her stints in rehab, her very public breakdowns, and her questionable parenting skills, there is absolutely no way Spears should be considered a role model.
'The producers of the show can spare us the old song-and-dance about fallen celebs turning their lives around. What's next? Portraying Ike Turner as a reformed feminist?"
Glee might be a bit too sexy for kids under 14 (which is why Fox gives it the TV-14 rating) but comparing Britney Spears to Ike Turner? That's going too far!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may still be shy about their relationship, but they got a chance to air out their romance atop the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills last night where they had a drink at the hotel's rooftop bar.
Kristen is back in town after being away shooting On The Road in New Orleans, and it looks as if she and Rob have wasted no time in catching up!
Last night, Kristen sat down with Jay Leno, where she talked about her new film Welcome to the Rileys, shooting in New Orleans, and the upcoming final installment of Twilight which starts shooting sometime this fall.
Amazingly, Kristen, who says she's "boring" and likes to stay home and watch movies, didn't look nearly as awkward as she usually does. Of course, Jay was probably under strict orders not to bring up Rob...

Chaz Bono, who came out as a transgendered man a year and a half ago, is lending his story to the It Gets Better Project, aimed at curbing the alarming amount of recent suicides by gay youth.
Chaz speaks about having felt like he was "different" as a child, and how he still dealt with those issues as an adult, but that if he didn't get through it, he would have missed out on the best times of his life! Inspiring!

Mary-Kate and Ashley both donned black furry vests as they hit the streets of Paris for a little shopping.
The Olsen twins are in the City of Lights for Paris Fashion Week, where they debuted their Spring 2011 collection of their high end brand, The Row.
The duo isn't seen out and about together all that often now, and may even be spotted as a matching pair less if Ashley's boyfriend has his way.
Rumor has it that actor Justin Bartha is dying to make an honest woman out of Ash. Justin "is in love and is just waiting for the right time," a source tells Us. But that right time has apparently come and gone several times. He's popped the question in the past -- and "and she said no!"
Although even if she does get married, we're sure part of her heart (and most of her fashion sense!) will always remain with Mary-Kate!

After fighting off several cheating allegations, as well as new claims that the couple is in an "open relationship", Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore caught a flight from LAX to Israel last night to renew their vows.
The couple married in a Kabbalah ceremony at their home in 2005, and have been working overtime to prove to the public that their marriage is a happy one. Is this just another stunt to change public perception, or were they planning the renewal all along?

Britney was spotted shopping solo in Calabasas yesterday, dressing up for the occasion wearing a flowy, see-thru blouse that reveals a lacy bra and high-heeled boots.
Of course, she wasn't completely alone, her ever-present bald bodyguard was with her, but we can't help thinking that Britney's ready to assert her independence!
Word is that the conservatorship that's been in place for the last two-and-a-half years is set to end in a matter of months. Perhaps Brit is shopping as an early celebration!
Even her weave, although a bit poodle-ish, is looking better:
