YAY!! She will be taking over when Viera leaves for the Today show!!!

yeah i saw that last night on the daytime emmys, barbara walters called rosie on stage & told her & the world. ROFLMFAO...i wish they showed Star's face..LOL...this is gonna be great cuz rosie doesn't like her & niether do i. I think Star's head is to big for her body now.

i know! i was actually really surprised by this....should make it interesting though.

HAHAHA, LIGHTS OUT!!! I was thinking the same dammn thing about her HEAD!!! hahahahaha! ROFL!

some peeps should not be that thin,lol

I'm gonna actually watch THE View now. I always think they sound like a bunch of chickens all clucking at the same time in the hen house, lmfao!

This surprised me! But I love the idea of it! That blonde chick gets on my nerves, I am sure Rosie will kick her a.ss! I rarely see this show, might have to tape it. Ok Lights..I have been saying the same thing about Star Jones head!! No one ever agrees with me..lol...I was so glad to see someone else say this! Wtf? She doesn't look right! Kinda like a cartoon!

HAHAHAHAHA! So true! So true!!! HAHAHAHAHA....

LMAO, i thought i was the only 1 too.I think i heard she starts in Sept. but don't quote me on that. It's gonna be a comedy show for sure. I can't wait

One more reason not to watch

AMEN on the clucking chickens, lol. Totally agree with all the Star comments! So true!

I don't understand why Rosie cares if she had bypasss surgery or not.. Star can keep it to her self.. Now rosie needs to do somethin..

rosie doesn't care, she is just saying that Star did not loose all that weight by diet alone as Star claims. LMFAO

I currently don't watch "The View". But I'll start TVIO in September. Rosie just speaks what she thinks. Rosie won a lot of awards for her talk. It will be nice to see her on daytime TV again and this time around she can be herself. Rosie

UP DATE >>>>

Star Jones Reynolds Leaving 'The View'

Tuesday June 27 3:42 PM ET


Don't expect any smackdown between Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones Reynolds on "The View." Reynolds said Tuesday she was leaving the show.

She told People magazine, "I feel like I was fired."

Rumors that she was leaving have intensified since the April announcement that Rosie O'Donnell would be replacing Meredith Vieira on "The View" in the fall.

O'Donnell had made several caustic remarks about Reynolds, saying that it was dishonest for her to talk about losing more than 100 pounds through diet and exercise without talking about gastric bypass surgery.

Reynolds, one of the original cast members of Barbara Walters' daily chatfest, made the announcement after the first commercial break of "The View" on Tuesday, saying the show had decided to move in a new direction.

"I'm not sure what the future holds," she said. "But I'm absolutely sure who holds the future."

Her announcement came on the same day that Lloyd Grove's gossip column in the New York Daily News headlined: "Star gazing may end soon for `View'-ers," and repeated one of O'Donnell's quotes about Reynolds.

Walters, after beckoning the studio audience to give Reynolds a standing ovation, indicated the timing was a surprise. She expressed her "sadness that it has turned out this way."

"I can't imagine how `The View' would have succeeded without you," she said.

Comic Joy Behar looked like she was shocked.

"Who am I going to fight with?" Behar said.

Reynolds replied: "Something tells me you will have somebody to fight with."

its one thing to speak ur mind, its another thing to be a ***** about things. I met her, unfortunately a while ago...and she made me ill to my stomach. very 2 faced. the view just keeps getting worse and worse. surprise surprise.
