Shake up at *The View*

[Logan]

I have never watched "The View" before, I don't think. I was aware of it and I have always been a fan of Barbara Walters (you have to respect how long she has been in this business and how successful she has been.....and good grief, she looks so good for 70 something years old) and of Meredith Vieira, but the others, I don't even know! I remember planning to tape the show one time because my cousin, Nancy O'Dell, was going to be on it, but I missed it, and I think Rachel had to fill me in on what happened.


I tape Oprah and Martha Stewart on my DVR, every day, but I don't usually watch all the shows as there is no time.

Goodbye Star! Whoever you are!

From NY Daily News:


So far, Jones Reynolds' employment future is unclear. But starting July 10, she'll host the already-taped week-long HGTV series "House Hunters NYC," in which folks are helped in their search for a place to live.

It's one of my favorite shows too. Star Jones on HGTV??? What next? It's like oil and water

[Rachel]

They were discussing Star Jones on Scarbough Country last night. They indicated she has a web site www.starjones.com and she is telling people how to exactly how to contact ABC with their comments and *complaints*. Out of curiousity I went there.... D I V A to the nth degree!

In no way is she going to be content with being the host of House Hunters. I may need to find a Suzanne Whang website. She is the one who will get my support.

I think Suzanne Whang has done an excellent job. I wonder why the change at HGTV. Looking at the wording in the newspaper article, maybe there will now be a separate NYC edition. If that is the case, I will just avoid that particular show. It could be that HGTV is going to have two separate House Hunter shows like they have just started to do with Designed to Sell. I believe the new DTS is only filmed in Chicago. The hosts of the additional DTS show are not nearly as abrasive to me as Starr would be on HH but my loyalties remain with Lisa and Clive.

[Logan]

You guys have captured my interest. What I read last night said that Star was doing a guest spot on House Hunters for a week. It didn't say anything about her permanently going there. Good grief, I hope she isn't. I like that show, too.

I do believe you are correct, Logan. This is what is posted on the Star Jones website.

Star to host "House Hunters"

HGTV spent a special week in New York City helping varied New Yorkers find their dream homes with a little help from Star.

Ok, this got my curiosity up, so I went there, but you can't get into her site unless you log in!! I'm NOT giving her my e-mail addy so she can send me spam, er diva e-mail!

I'll bet her site is all about her, how great she is etc. (makes me sick)

She kind of reminds me of Omorosa (sp?) from "The Aprentice" she is trying to keep her "star" from fading........Donald Trump, there is another one that makes me sick. Glad they are all in NY. You think New York is big enough for all those ego's there???!!!

Did I hear this right? Rosie O'Donnell's contract was not renewed, so she's leaving "The View"?

[ParNone]

She's going to come back from time to time to do specials and such, but she will no longer be a full time co-host. ABC wanted her to sign a 3yr deal for a certain amount of money and she only wanted to sign up for a year.

Guess I can start showing up on time for work again, unless they can find a replacement, who makes the hot topics section "must see tv" as she did. Whoopi comes to mind.
