According to The New York Post, Roseanne Barr is the leading choice to replace Rosie O'Donnell on The View. A source had this to say about Roseanne getting the job, "She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny. They're missing strong personalities on that show, and that's what they're going to need if they want to keep it going." But when the asked her people about it, "It's almost like that rumor that spread last month about how she was going to be on 'Desperate Housewives." Other names throw in the hat are Kathie Lee Gifford, Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Bette Midler, Connie Chung and Kathy Griffin. Of that list the only one I like and can tolerate on TV is Bette Midler. I just don't understand why The View feels they need an unlikable unfunny b!tch on the show. People did not miss Star Jones and they are not going to miss Rosie O'Donnell, so why not try a new personality and not someone annoying like the ones they are replacing?
