No need to say goodbye to Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She’s staying put as a co-host of “The View” despite reports insisting otherwise.

Series co-creator Barbara Walters called that story “particularly false” on Monday’s edition of the ABC daytime talk show. She says that “we have no plans for Elisabeth to leave.”

Hasselbeck has been on “The View” for a decade.

Walters also confirmed that Joy Behar will exit the show in August.

Swift visits

Taylor Swift visited a young cancer patient in Nebraska.

The singer was at Children’s Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha on Saturday to see 10-year-old Lauren Hacker. The fifth-grader at St. Margaret Mary School has cancer.

The Omaha World-Herald reports the meeting was lobbied for on social media. It was later arranged by Lauren’s family and the singer’s representatives.

Swift kicks off her worldwide tour Wednesday in Omaha.

Lauer offered to exit

A report says Matt Lauer was ready to take the fall last year for troubles on NBC’s “Today” show.

The Daily Beast reported Monday that Lauer told Steve Burke, the chief executive of NBC Universal, that he would leave if Burke thought the show was better off without him. Burke dismissed the idea. The account of the behind-the-scenes drama at the troubled morning show was confirmed by show spokeswoman Megan Kopf on Monday.

“Today” has slipped behind ABC’s “Good Morning America” in the ratings, and the slide was more pronounced after Ann Curry’s messy departure as Lauer’s co-host last summer.

Many viewers blamed Lauer for Curry’s ouster, but the report said Lauer had been urging NBC to move more slowly with its plans to replace her.
