'The View' makes TIME 100

Per Time.com, the opinionated hosts of the very popular morning talk show The View made Time Magazine's 2009 list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd collectively made no. 54 on the list. Richard Stengel, editor of Time, even appeared as a guest on the show to explain to the viewers and the ladies why they were chosen to be on the prestigious list.

According to Stengel, the ladies are "the angels of democracy."

Twitterers shared various reactions to Time's decision to include 'The View':

No Doubt Reunites On "TODAY Show"

Kicking off NBC's "TODAY" summer concert series, rock band No Doubt belted out its punk-infused sound across Rockefeller Plaza Friday morning, marking the band's first live performance in five years.

Per MSNBC, frontwoman Gwen Stefani sported her signature style while performing classic hits "It's My Life," "Spiderwebs," and "Don't Speak."

With the exception of a few disappointed fans, the Twitterverse responded with a mix of nostalgia and excitement:
