VIDEO: Elisabeth Hasselback Returns To View, Reveals "Nip Slip" In Baby Pic

On Thursday, Stanley Tucci dropped by to chat with the ladies of The View to promote his latest film The Lovely Bones. Following up on Tucci’s comment about how his wife Kate wanted him to turn down the part after reading the book (he plays the novel’s villain who has a penchant for raping and murdering young girls), Elisabeth Hasselback piped up and asked him if his wife had seen any of the movie.

However, Kate passed away in May from cancer. Trying to move on from the awkward moment, Tucci quickly responded “No” then looked to Barbara Walters and the other women to move on.

Shortly after the incident, Hasselback took to her Twitter page to explain the gaffe and the fallout.

“It was an honest mistake with stanley tucci today & i called him to apologize,” she wrote. “He forgave me (such grace)- if only i could forgive myself...”

Elisabeth Hasselback, back on The View after a two-month sabbatical tending to her newborn son Isaiah, shared a funny story with her TV colleagues upon her return Monday.

Hasselback said upon seeing Isaiah make his first smile, she reached for an iPhone, snapped a shot an sent it out to an e-mail list of friends and loved ones -- big mistake.

"No wonder why he is smiling," she said, "because my nipple is in the photo!"

"It's worse than drunk dialing," the 32-year-old, conservative mom-of-three said. "It's embarrassing."

Hey, at least she didn't Tweet everyone the good news.
