Rosie O'Donnell to be Replaced by Roseanne Barr on 'The View'?

Roseanne Barr went from a funny sitcom star to a pariah with one horrible National Anthem' rendition where she grabbed her crotch and spat after butchering the Star-Spangled Banner in San Diego. Rosie O'Donnell went from the 'queen of nice' to the 'queen of mean' by hosting 'The View' shock jock style and blasting away at anyone and everyone that didn't agree with her politics. So - can one replace the other? Can Barbara Walters fading reputation take it?


Rosie O'Donnell to be Replaced by Roseanne Barr?

The New York Post has a report that Roseanne Barr has emerged as the top contender to replace Rosie O'Donnell next year on "The View," sources tell the newspaper.

***

"She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny," said a source with knowledge of ABC's sudden and desperate search to find a new co-host to replace O'Donnell who quit the show last week. "They're missing strong personalities on that show, and that's what they're going to need if they want to keep it going," an ABC staffer close to the situation told the Post.

The paper notes that during an appearance on "Larry King" last week, Roseanne danced around the question of joining the "The View." "I'm not looking for the job," she said at one point - and joking at another, "Well, I want $10 million, like Rosie."

It is logical. ABC just spent all that money on a XXXL reinforced chair, it would be poor management to waste it.

Worst of all, Barbara Walters -- along with so many other "celebrity" talking heads -- never did anything herself! Her whole claim to fame was that she talked to the people who DID do things.

This culture is enamored of glitter and even the dimmest reflected glory is enough to dazzle some people.

I just watched that episode. I like when DJ found out about Darlene and David living together. And they bribed him with $$$.

Rosie O’Donnel could be replaced by a potted fern.
