We know that Jussie Smollett was written out of the last two episodes of Empire this season, but will he be back next season? Today, when Taraji P. Henson was on The View, Joy Behar asked her that very question. Henson told her, “Yes, I haven’t heard anything else.”
Personally, if Empire, that is down in the ratings, is back for another season, I hope they do not bring him back. I find it hard watching him since everything that happened. I know all the state charges are dropped, but still. Do you want him back?

Whoopi Goldberg has not been in view on The View and people have been wondering where she is. One theory is that she is hosting the hostless Oscars on Sunday. Today, Joy Behar revealed on the ABC daytime talk show that that is not the case. The Oscar winner will not be at the Oscars because “she is on maternity leave.”
Wait, what? Did she really have a miracle baby? Nope. After that shocking reveal, Behar came clean. Goldberg is recuperating from pneumonia. Therefore, if she is too sick to host her day job, she is definitely too sick to host Hollywood’s biggest night.
Last week, there were rumors that Paula Farris left The View and looks like she is not the only one. Page Six is reporting that Sara Haines is giving up the talk show to host the third hour of Good Morning America with Michael Strahan at 1p that debuts in September.
Haines joined ABC in 2013 and The View in 2016 after several guest appearances.
Haines departure leaves Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain on the panel and I think that is just enough screaming head at the table. What about you?
UPDATE: GMA made the new official today. Haines wrote on social media, “Ahhhhhhhh!! Not even sure I can find the words to adequately express how excited I am to sit next to @michaelstrahan as we embark on this new journey at @GMA #GMADay…it is (and has been) a dream of mine for a LONG time. It’s bittersweet though as I leave @theviewabc, a place I have called home for the past couple years. A huge thank you to all the viewers and fans who have followed me along the way. I LOVE my View family, but don’t worry, my brand new *view* is literally down the street.”

Jason Ritter stars in the very endearing, must watch Kevin (Probaly) Saves the World Tuesdays at 10p on ABC, and his character has to hug people to help save the world. Therefore, ABC declared today National Hug-a-Kevin Day. Where are Kevin Bacon and Kevin Spacey when you need him? And ladies, I am pretty Kevin Hart’s wife would not like you to hug him today. Too soon?
Anyways, to honor the day, yesterday on The View, Ritter attempted to break the Most Hugs in Minute. The record belongs to someone who hugged 79 people in :60 seconds. Is Ritter now in the Guinness Book of World Records? Yes he is! He hugged 86 people in the allotted time and some more afterwards. Proving that he is not probably, but he is the most huggable guy in the world.
BTW Am I the only one who sees his father, the late John Ritter, in him?
Finally, his equally huggable costar JoAnna Garcia helped him prep for the title over the weekend. To see their rehearsal that did not go that well, then click here!
Today on The View, the show welcomed Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin on to talk about their Netflix show Grace and Frankie. The season the two women are getting into the vibrator business and that put the ABC talk show into a conundrum. The V word is one of the words you cannot say on their program.
Yes, Vibrator is a dirty word. Who knew? Maybe if more Republicans could say it, they would not be so eager to cut off women’s health. They have no problem saying Viagra and that is still funded by them and allowed to be said on daytime televion. Especially, since I am assuming almost almost all of them need it.
But this is not a political post, per se. Therefore, I just have one thing to say, “Vibrator, vibrator, vibrator!!!”
When it comes to Grace and Frankie, if Netflix was smart, they would totally sell that vibrator and those condoms. I don’t know about you, but after binge watching the show yesterday, I want both! Especially the vibrator! They made it sound like it really gets the job done.
If you have not seen Grace and Frankie, then spend your time binge watching it. The acting and the writing on this show is phenomenal. It is also proves that older actors are better than most of the younger ones because they do stuff that those whipper snappers cannot. How did Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston not get nominated for their roles as Fonda and Tomlin’s ex-husband’s who left them to become not Mr & Mr? Plus, Fonda and Tomlin also deserve nominations. In other words, I really love Grace and Frankie.
