Shake up at *The View*

[elizabethann]

They took Star Jones off of The View website...finally.

I sometimes watch The View when I'm out sick. I was never a fan of Star Jones. However, I think the best thing she could have done for her career was quit.

Rosie O'Donnell will make the ratings fall (depending on who they get to replace Star Jones). I used to LOVE Rosie but then she screwed Tom Selleck and just became a very strange and weird person.

I won't be watching The View anymore. I'll watch The Price Is Right. Love Bob Barker!!

I never cared much for Star Jones and I don't think the average person could identify with her *high end* life style. What really ticked me off was when she went on and on about how she didn't care for dogs and keep those dogs away from her. Then when her new husband wanted a dog and they got the little maltese, it was Pinky this and Pinky that.

She obviously really crossed Barbara when she made her announcement on Tuesday without Barbara's knowledge that it was going to happen, although I thought what she said was completely fine. Barbara, in addition to being a Diva happened to be the BOSS and she wasn't going to let that go unchallenged, hence her over-the-top reaction. I think she would have done herself a favor not to have over reacted in the manner which she did.

Actually seeing the nails come out like this was the best entertainment I've seen on The View.

I heard she was leaving but I didn't hear about the spat with Barbara walters. Barbara just tore a strip off her right there on the show?

I also dislike Rosie O'Donnell very much. I don't watch the view much NOW but I certainly won't be tuning in once she is on the show.

I can't stand Rosie so I will not be watching in the fall. I read some of her comments this winter about Star's weight loss. I think she was saying Star needs to admit she had gastric bypass surgery. What business is it of hers?

I watched it the other day when Barbara Wahwah made the announcement. I think they just should've let it go. Why add fuel to the fire??

I also don't like Rosie O'Donnell, never have. What said Jazzcat is right, Star's gastric bypass IS none of her business. I've never been a big fan of "The View" or "The Price Is Right". I usually just go online and listen to my CD's.

I also don't like Star Jones or Rosie O'Donnell. I used to like both of them but success(or whatever it is) has gone to their heads. They're both so full of themselves and so arrogant, I can't stand to watch them at all anymore. I'll just go online too, if I'm not at work, instead of watching The View. I have to also say that Barbara Walters is not someone I would want to upset if I were in that business

I am pretty out of it when it comes to popular tv shows. I tuned in to "The View" only once and like Pam - felt that nothing there represented any "view" of mine.

Years ago, I really liked the Rosie show back when she would talk about musicals and was funny, IMO. Now I can't stand her. I read about Star in a People magazine article where she talked about her large weight loss and at the time, I thought she must have had gstric bypass, based on her evasiveness and not wanting to explain how she lost it. At the time I felt what is the big deal and why not explain her success....ah well, don't really care

I don't really relate or have much in common with any tv personalities though I do like reading People now and then. Even that magazine is getting to be too celebrity oriented to be as interesting as it was when it was new. Guess I am showing my age, eh?

Thank you Donna & enough said!!!

i don't watch The View. it comes on and i just change the channel. i personally wish Starr Jones would be fat again. she looks creepy now and she seemed to have a better personality when she was fat.

I won't be watching The View anymore. I'll watch The Price Is Right. Love Bob Barker!!

Yes come join the other side with me. Bob Barker ROCKS!! hehe

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I don't care much for the View anyway but now that Rosie's going to be on, I won't watch ever!!!!

I can't believe everyone got their noses out of joint because of Star's weight loss. It's not really anyone's business but hers, specially not Rosie's!!! Rosie is no paragon of virtue herself!!!

I don't know why Barbara was so shocked at Star's announcement. She knew since November that Star's contract wouldn't be renewed. I couldn't stand to see Star sitting there like a whipped puppy anymore so I guess I'm glad she moved on.

[BOBS DAD]

OK... I'll admit it, I've seen the view - and at times I've found those ladies' yackety-yack about nothing amusing. But with Meredith Vierra leaving AND ROSIE??? taking her place, I think the show was doomed anyway.

I do wish however I could have caught the cat fight that you all say took place!!! Maybe Rosie will come on and drop 200 pounds and "not admit" to gastric bypass too!!! That would add to their chances of surviving!!!

[Craftlady]

She did say on last night that there was surgery involved. Thought it was interesting that they re-broadcast the Larry King Show during the time slot of "The View" this morning which was an "oncore performance" (re-run). Think the ladies had enough excitement for one week and with the long holiday weekend the show decided to do reruns.

I always thought Barbara Walters was a shrewed business women, that was proven even more this week. I think having Rosie O'Donnell on the show now will send "The View" down the river to cancelation.

[sparks19]

Yes come join the other side with me. Bob Barker ROCKS!! hehe

LOL WOO HOO for Bob Barker. I have a question (sorry to derail the thread for one moment)....

What happens when Bob passes away? Do they find a replacement or just cancel the show? I can't imagine the show would be much without him after all this time.

Oh great, I just read that Star Jones will be hosting one of my all-time favorite shows, HOUSE HUNTERS.
