View co-host Hasselbeck accused of plagiarism
BOSTON (AP) — "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been accused of plagiarism.
A lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts alleges that Hasselbeck lifted "word for word" content from a book on celiac disease written by a self-published author on Cape Cod.
Hasselbeck's book, "The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide" has appeared over the last month in several best-selling lists.
The lawsuit was filed by author Susan Hassett, who says she sent Hasselbeck a copy of her "Living With Celiac Disease" book as a courtesy after the TV celebrity disclosed she had the illness last year.
A lawyer for Hassett declined to comment Tuesday. A phone message left with Hasselbeck's agent, Andy Cohen, was not immediately returned.

I despise plagiarists. That's why I despise Jonathan Larsen's Rent, the Harry Potter books, the Mor(m)on Twilight series, and anyone who steals someone else's ideas. It's lower than that of a bicycle thief.
