A DARKER VIEW
With its outlook no longer Rosie, The View is ready to make Whoopi.
The Academy Award-winning funnylady is in final talks with ABC to join the daytime chatfest, replacing the not so dearly departed Rosie O’Donnell. Goldberg had been one of the show’s many guest hosts since O’Donnell’s abrupt exit in May.The second slot will reportedly be filled by comedian Sherri Shepherd, another frequent post-Rosie guest host. ABC isn’t commenting on her appointment either, but her hiring will likely be announced in concert with Goldberg’s.
Shepherd, 40, is a stand-up comic who has appeared in a number of TV and film roles, including Beauty Shop. Next up for her is a run as Lady G in the comedy Who’s Your Caddy?, which opens today.

Ohh ohh. Whoopie, YAY!
I like Whoopie… They can talk about eyebrows and lack thereof. Seriously, Whoopie is a great choice, she is rather intelligent and she would in no means be a token black viewpoint for the show. However, there is no chick they can get to spew out chick talk on this show to get me to watch. I mean, not even Elizabeth’s boobs are getting me to watch. I really like Whoopie on the show. She has the same conservative views as Rosie, but she presents them in an intelligent manner, not an over-the-top emotional one. The couple of times that she has been on, she’s been great, and a real voice of reason amongst all the cattiness of the other chicks.
But this other chick? She sucks. I know you have NO idea who she is… don’t worry, no one else does either. Let me say this: Her husband cheated on her right after she gave birth, and impregnated his mistress. And she took him back. She’s also a HUGE bible thumper, talks about some guy named Jesus a whole lot, and also doesn’t believe in evolution! Yeah. Nice choice ABC. WHAT ABOUT KATHY GRIFFIN? Grrrr….. |

I heard rumors that Ann Hathaway was going to be there too in a thong all the time.
Hey I like Whoopie. I would like her to sit there and shut-up like a good woman should. Woman should been seen not heard . . .

I WANT KATHY! I LOVE KATHY LEE!! (That’s a joke. If you watch Kathy Griffin’s reality show on Bravo, you’ll get it.)
Kathy Griffin totally rocked on there. And I just love her in general.
