The View: Star Jones being released from the show?

[mickeysgal]

I just saw a news article on AOL saying that Star Jones will be leaving The View. Its currently being reported that this was a condition of Rosie joining the show. Wow, if its true, what a shakeup at that show.

I just saw this! Heres the link:

I was not Star's biggest fan, but I dislike Rosie O'Donells persona intensely. I really don't know who Gayle King is (Star's rumored replacement) I used to love the View. Now, I doubt I'll even watch.

Isn't Gayle King Oprah's friend and didn't she have a show at one time??? I could be way wrong here...not sure???

 

[Dizzy for Dsny]

Yes, Gayle King is Oprah's best bud!

 

[lovetheparks]

Yes, Gayle is Oprah's best friend and still does special shows for her sometimes.

I don't care much for Star or Rosie - I was shocked when they announced that Rosie would be Meredith's replacement.

Thank God, I can't stand Star. Although I despise Rosie also so I still won't watch.

Yes!!!!
Darn it...we were waiting for the cat fight!!! Looks like it would have been good.
Gayle King is ok, a mellow even gal. Perhaps this is really the Meredith replacement and Rosie is the Star replacement.

I can't say I am sorry to see Star go. I never liked her.

It wouldn't bother me if both of the useless tubs of goo would both disappear!

 

[goodeats]

Wow this is interesting news. I thought it would be interesting to see Star and Rosie bounce off each other (or crash into each other as the case may be), but I think Star really drags the show down.

I really find Rosie hilarious. As a proud member of the GOP, you'd think I wouldn't care for her, but she always cracks me up. I especially like how she calls it like she sees it. But then again I also find Dr. Laura interesting, even if I don't agree with everything she says.

I will definitely check the new View out. Now, CBS news with Katie, I don't think so!

ETA- now Gayle is OK, but I don't know if she could 'hang' with Rosie. She's funny when she's with Oprah, but I don't know. Maybe she'd be OK.

I also like Rosie & Dr. Laura. However I love Meredith way better than Katie. So that is where we part ways.
I am actually happy Meredith is going to be on the Today show. Now if they can dump Matt, I never liked him.

Meredith reminds me of Jane Pauley..who I still miss. I loved her.

I don't think it is true. Gayle King was interviewed this morning on our local news and she said she knows nothing about it. She has not been approached by anyone from The View.

Personally, I can't stand Star Jones. i would love for her to be GONE. She is way too impressed with her own (non)importance.

 

[RadioNate]

I like Rosie, at least I used to when she had her own show.

From what I've heard is that Gayle will take Meredith's 'seat' and moderate while Rosie will take Star's 'chair.'

I guess even Barbara Walters can't stand Star anymore.

I wathced the View the first year it was on. But I got so sick of Star Jones that I havn't watched an entire show since. I am happy to see her go. I will watch Rosie over her anyday!

Rosie is a mixed bag. I usually enjoyed her on her old show, and she is a nice change from cookie cutter Hollywood glamor skeletons. However, I don't know how well she will "play with others."

Star Jones started out interesting, but she has gotten way too preachy & full of herself (since her obvious surgery and phony marriage).

I like Gayle King. She comes across as intelligent and a class act.

 

[FergieTCat]

I never liked Star Jones. She is, with no doubt, the rudest celebrity I ever had the displeasure of crossing paths.

If she can't take the "heat" of having Rosie O'Donnell on the show (it's been well documented that Rosie does not like her), then I'm glad she's flouncing out of there.

How did you ever cross paths with her?

Ditto this! I can't stand arrogance!

I liked Rosie when she had her show, so I hope that part of her personality comes out. The politics I can do without, whether I agree with her or not.

Another comedienne I'd like to see have a show is Kathy Griffin - she cracks me up!

 

[FergieTCat]

I was coming out of a Barry Manilow concert in New York City and found myself looking right at Ms. Jones (I didn't know she was there and I wasn't actively looking for any celebrity, but there she was). I THOUGHT it would be rude not to acknowledge her, so I smiled and said "I see we have the same taste in music." (which, in retrospect, probably wasn't the brightest thing to say, but it was polite). She heard me, and made it a point to dismiss me. (My friends agree she diss-ed me.)

She is, by far, the rudest celebrity I've ever met; she's probably the rudest person I've ever met.

How did you ever cross paths with her?

 

[inaminute]

Well, if what I've been hearing is true, then this is a major slap in the face to Star.

She's not leaving of her own accord. She's being "let go" at Rosie O'Donnell's request. Barbara Walters agreed to Rosies terms.

I guess many think this is what Star deserves. Maybe so. Personally, I thought Barbara had more class than to treat people so badly. What's next? Rosie doesn't like having to compete with another comedian, so she demands Joy be fired?

Like I said in an earlier post, they may as well just rename the show "The Rosie O'Donnell View."

 

[minnieandmickeymouse]

Wow, I wan't expecting more changes going on in the view! I am not sure if I believe it yet, but I wouldn't care Star left. I am happy that Rosie is joining the show!!
