A Rosie By Any Other Name...
The New York Post is saying that loud-mouth comedienne Roseanne Barr is the leading contender to fill Rosie O'Donnell's spot on The View.
"She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny," said a source close to the show about Roseanne. "They're missing strong personalities on that show, and that's what they're going to need if they want to keep it going," another ABC staffer said.
During an appearance on Larry King last week, Roseanne was vague about her future plans."I'm not looking for the job," she said at one point. "Well, I want $10 million, like Rosie," she later joked. She also never came right out and said she wouldn't take the gig if offered.
Ro's rep says she hasn't been approached by the show.
Other contenders mentioned as possible replacements -- Joan Rivers (God help us), Whoopi Goldberg (could be decent), Kathie Lee Gifford (NO MORE CODY AND CASSIDY, EVER!) and Connie Chung (Boring!).
Roseanne does seems like the best fit out of these options, but I think they should keep looking.
Oh, and Babs, I'm available.

Holy crap! I just said last week that I think the other Rosie would be an awesome fit! I would love to see that!
Bill Zwecker from the Chicago Sun Times said that he's heard it will be an African-American, possibly Rene Syler.
i hope it is sheri shepard
Connie Chung or Kathie Lee Gifford or anyone along those lines would make for a huge snooze fest. Roseanne Barr would be great because she is so opinionated. If not her, then they need to find another woman with equally as much chutzpah.
Rosanne Barr is annoying...Rosie you will be missed, the show has nothing going otherwise...
Roseanne Barr? Bleah.
Whoopi is my top choice. They need another conservative as well (I'm liberal, but I would like to see more balance on the panel).
definitely Roseanne! I think she would be great - if we can't have Rosie! Rosie will definitely be missed!
