Rosie O'Donnell to join The View...
Sorry if we talked about this already, this is the first I am hearing of it!! Who wants to take bets on how long it will take Star to leave after Rosie joins?
Rosie O'Donnell to Join The View

Rosie O'Donnell is joining the current game of TV musical chairs. She's heading toThe View as a replacement for Meredith Vieira, it was announced at the Daytime Emmy Awards after a day of speculation.
O'Donnell made the announcement onstage with The View's co-creator, Barbara Walters.
Earlier, ABC officials declined comment on the prospect of O'Donnell's hiring, which was first reported on TV's Extra.
Friday's edition of The View, which is usually broadcast live, was taped, because its cast and crew are in Los Angeles for the Daytime Emmys ceremony.
A source told PEOPLE that several of those who work on The View had no idea that O'Donnell was coming aboard.
The Rosie O'Donnell Show debuted in 1996 and was an instant hit, earning its star, now 44, six Daytime Emmy Awards as best talk-show host.
In 2002, O'Donnell called it quits to help raise four children with her partner, Kelli Carpenter O'Donnell, as well as launch Rosie magazine. The now-defunct publication quickly fell victim to warring factions and then matching multi-million-dollar lawsuits between O'Donnell and the magazine's parent company, Ultimately, neither side was the victor.
Rosie and Kelli recently appeared together front and center on the HBO special All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise, a documentary about the maiden voyage of R Family Vacations, the travel company founded by the two of them and which specializes in gay family vacations.
The View, which debuted in 1997, currently stars Walters, Joy Behar, Star Jones Reynolds and the newest addition, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Set to leave The View at the end of next month, Vieira will take Katie Couric's chair opposite Matt Lauer on NBC's Today show this fall, when Couric heads over to the CBS Evening News, where she'll be the show's first solo female anchor

I like Rosie I think this is great. I used to watch her show all the time. I hope she puts Star Jones in her place!

Re: Rosie O'Donnell to join The View...
The problem I see with Rosie O'Donnell being a CO-host on The View is just that. She's a CO-host now, and she doesn't seem like the type of person who likes to share the spotlight. I can see her totally throwing off the balance of the whole show and causing drama. She is just so obnoxious.

Re: Rosie O'Donnell to join The View...
yea but I think her and Starr Jones are so obnoxious they may add for some great TV. I think that Rosie may be ok with this. She is done hiding her life so maybe she wont have to be so over the top on things.
who knows like i said maybe she can have star jones fired.

Howard Stern calls her Rocky O'Donnell.
He is going to rip her apart after she starts on The View. Can't wait!!!
