ABC announced Thursday that Hasselbeck is joining "Good Morning America" as a contributor, covering "hot-button family, lifestyle and child-rearing issues." The network said her first report, looking at the growing trend of parents and kids getting tattoos together, will air Monday. She said she was "thrilled" to explore issues facing parents and children.


"I am thankful for this opportunity to raise awareness and explore the most important issues facing parents and children," the mother of three said in a statement, also mentioning she's "thrilled" to join the "GMA" team.

The onetime "Survivor" contestant will launch Monday with a report on kids and tattoos -- including the nifty option of parent and child getting inked together.

Hasselbeck joined "The View" as a co-host in 2003.

Christina Hendricks' voluptuous, size 14 body may not be typical in Hollywood wore a peach coloured strapless gown on the red carpet at the Golden Globes in January.

The 35-year-old actress has now hit back. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, she said: "To say something like that and put it next to a distorted picture discredits you entirely. And it hurt my feelings. I thought that dress was stunning.
"I had just gotten back from my honeymoon and I felt beautiful in those pictures. I was smiling and beaming, and I felt like a goddess.

"It's a celebration, and I'm here because the show I work on is being recognised as excellent work, and you're going to tell everyone in the world that I was wearing a - dress? Let me go to a party and wear my pretty dress!"
Last month she revealed how she had struggled to find a designer who would loan her a dress for the Emmy Awards because all the outfits were "size zero or a size two." In July she was hailed as an "absolutely fabulous" physical role model for girls by Lynne Featherstone, the UK's Equalities Minister.
