Diva, Interrupted

True Story

Bette appears on The View. Bette's happy to sing on the show and promote her latest CD, but she doesn't look forward to chatting with the girls because she simply can't think of any new stories to tell. When it's time to talk, Bette tries to rehash some old tales but the gals stop her cold. They want news, so Bette obliges by implying that she rescued a drowning boy near Malibu. Actually, she just found the kid's watch and returned it to him. No harm, right? Well, not until Vieira later calls her up — seeking to reunite Bette and the boy on the show.
