Barbara to Fill Two 'View' Spots: 'We Will Know by the End of July'


Barbara Walters is breaking news to “Extra,” revealing that she wants two co-hosts to fill Rosie O’Donnell’s spot!

“We need two people,” Barbara said, one for Rosie and another for the long-gone Star Jones.

And the announcement could come any time!

“We will probably know by the end of July,” Barbara revealed.

Today, “Extra” learned that comedienne Kathy Griffin is in the running – and so is a Trump!

Arch-rival Donald’s daughter Ivanka is in talks to take Rosie’s seat.

The Donald told us, “She's brilliant! She's got the gift of gab, and she would do great, but I don't see it.”

But Ivanka said she won’t be taking a seat on the show, telling Fox News, “I am not joining the show.”

Rosie has been quiet in recent weeks, but "Extra" can reveal she hasn’t fallen off the radar.

The outspoken talk queen just blogged that she’s on a cruise with her family, and she's taking aim at her former co-host.

Us Weekly reports Rosie couldn’t resist taking a jab at former friend Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

During her stand-up routine on the ship, Rosie reportedly quipped, “Go have your baby and have a nice life.”

Now she’s sounding off on Paula Abdul’s new reality show “Hey Paula.”

On her video blog, Rosie said to partner Kelli, “If I ever do a show like that, swear you won't let me put it on the air.”

So who do you think should host “The View?” Sound off here!

The people who want Elisabeth off the show don’t like her because of Rosie.ROSIE IS TO BLAME FOR ROSIE’S PROBLEMS.The ones who want Ann Coulter only want her because she is the EXTREME opposite of Rosie and will present the same problems as Rosie;but, it would be a first to have a loud conservitive on a mainstream television program since they have only loud liberals have been allowed.

I think the show should take a look at a normal everday person, Take Natallie B for instance, she was a guest co host a little while ago and she was great, we need some one that knows what is going on with everyday people, and Natallie is your lady, Please put her name on the list, you would be surprised to see how many votes she would get.

How about someone with journalistic background similar to Meredith, like either Campbell Brown or Soledad O’Brien. Both have great personalities as shown on their stints on the Today Show. The show doesn’t need another comic, it has Joy.

Elizabeth H. has to go. Why is the network still keeping her? Is it because she says what they want to hear?

Recommend Whoopi Goldberg, but then again, she is not afraid to say her mind, but will she get kicked in the back from Barbara Walter’s heels?

The View should fold away. Barbara Walters has lost her lack lustre since Star Jones deparcher. She is so fake! She tries to do the View in that “prim & proper’ attitude!

How about Danielle from Big Brother?

Sherri Shepherd, Gayle King, Wanda Sykes, or Ricki Lake

Elizabeth H. has to GO. She is just a weight that has to be got rid of. What does she contribute other than talk nonsense. She certainly doesn’t come out as being intelligent.

Even if Whoopi Goldberg who would make a excellent choice comes in, I wonder whether Barbara Walters can handle, as she will eventually “kick her with her heal.” I don’t think Barbara in any case can handle controversy, so my guess would be “VIEW” shouls fade away.. who will really watch that show now!!!!

I do not know why Queen Latifah has not been suggested. She is funny, smart, and has a great personality. She would be great for the show. But would she go for it.

Did someone here actually recommend that hate-monger Ann Coulter be Rosie’s replacement? Good lord! That woman seriously needs psychiatric help and a meth detox. Whoopie would be good. But like everyone else, I say “Lose Elizabeth”. She’s dumber than dirt. Best of all, tho, how about just letting this tired old show fade away…….

I recommend Jules Asner. She is very comfortable with this format having done it before. She is also very knowledgeable on the entertainment world.

I would at least like to see her have a tryout.

Minorities? How about Connie Chung? Whoopi, Sherri is ok too.
Please not Kathy Griffin, maybe Kathy Nijimy….Most of all,,,, say bye bye to Elisabeth H!!!!

Since Ms Jones and Ms Ling left, there is no minority view on The View. How about an African-American, Hispanic or Asian co-host?

Whoopi is definitly the best choice. Sorry to sound negative here, but if Kathy Griffin is the choice I will stop watchiing The View. My wish is Elisabeth go (OH PLEASE), and then have Whoopi and Rosie job share so they can do other projects too. Thank goodness Joy is still there!

I think Whoopi Goldberg or Kathy Nagimy would be GREAT hosts! We need another person, like Rosie, who is not afraid of taking a stand and being completely honest about controversial subjects. Kathy Najimy is very well-spoken and is an incredible advocate for women.

They should consider Holly Robinson Peete. She is young, classy and intelligent. I mean, do we have to have a stand up comedian to replace Meredith and Star?

I can see Sherri Shephard & Whoopi Goldberg as the two co-host.
