    Shake up at *The View*

    For those who haven't heard, Star Jones has announced she is leaving the show and apparently did not even let Barbara Walters know she was planning to announce it. It seems her contract was not going to be renewed anyway because, according to what I heard this morning, she was not forthcoming with how she lost her weight and has lost favor with the fans. Tonight she will be Larry King's guest and this will all be discussed.

    Does anyone have any feelings about this? I seldom watch The View because I am usually at work. I often found I couldn't relate to any of these ladies' *views* on things and never felt they represented me anyway. To me it is much ado about nothing but I am sure some of you must disagree. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    I usually have it on just for the noise but if Rosie O'Donnald replaces Starr, I will change channels.. I didn't much care for Starr but I liked her a whole lot better than I like Rosie.

    Rosie will be replacing Meredith Vierra (sp?) who already left. Now they will need another replacement.

    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!!

    Drama Divas

    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.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    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've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    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?

    We should have their problems

    What can I say? I have been following the media hype on this - since I watch the daily news reports. I could care less what they say about each other.

    I, too, like Pam, have watched it a couple of times when home and bored silly, but would never put it on a list of "must see shows".....

    This falls in to the "whatever" category for me.

    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 dont like the view period. All those women talk at once when the show first starts, you cant even tell what they are saying. It gets on my nerves.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    This thread has done me a world of good! I thought, with The View being so popular, there must be something wrong with me. I agree with just about everything that has been said. I liked Rosie in the beginning (when I was home to catch it) but by the time her show ended I was ready to see her go.

    I think it's pretty obvious that Star had gastric bypass surgery. I can't understand the need to try and keep it a secret. Al Roker had it and didn't try to keep it a secret and he looks great. Who cares anyway? My feeling is that if you are in the public eye and you do something dramatic like that you really have to be ready to share it with the people who watch you each day. Oprah has sure been open about her weight struggles and I think is very admired because of it. Star and Rosie will never be in her class.
