Joy Behar has a book that could really use the on-air publicity, and Sherri Shepherd has a new memoir coming out, but neither have been allowed to mention their books much and are complaining to higher-ups:

From In Touch: An insider tells In Touch that Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck aren't happy that Barbara keeps using the ABC talk show to shill her memoir Audition. "Off the air, the co-hosts have complained to executives that the show has become an infomercial for Barbara," says the insider. Adding to the annoyance? "Joy didn't get to promote her recent book When You Need a Lift nearly as much, and Sherri has been asked to wait to announce her deal for her outn memoir, Permission Slips, until Barbara's summer book tour is over," says the insider. A rep for The View denies that there's any tension over the book.
