It looks someone took off the Rosie colored glasses from The View because The Wrap is reporting that Rosie Perez is not coming back. The actress is currently on hiatus from the show because she is rehearsing for a Broadway show and now it is being rumored they don’t want her back.
The show’s first season without Barbara Walters has been a ratings dud, so it looks they want to make some changes and go younger. Perez is 50, so they are seeking candidates half her age like Naya Rivera. The Glee star’s comments have been giving the talk show some much needed press in the last few days, so her name doesn’t surprise. In fact, I was already thinking that she would be a good replacement for the struggling show. Much better than Rosie Perez that was an odd choice from her announcement.
At this point, the network is denying this rumor, but I am sure there is truth to it because something has to be done if they want to save this show.
Granted, I think having two Alpha females on the show like Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg was a bigger mistake than hiring Rosie Perez. But not by much.
