Brooke Shields Joining ‘The View’?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Gossip, Rumors,
Brooke Shields is in talks to join The View.
The 47-year-old Blue Lagoon actress has reportedly been approached by ABC to join the US morning chat show's panel after current host Joy Behar recently announced she is leaving the popular series after 16 seasons and amid rumors Elizabeth Hasselbeck's contract has not been renewed.
According to gossip website showbiz411.com, Barbara Walters, who is at the helm of the series, thinks that Brooke would be a great addition and is eager for her to take over one of the vacant spots. Sources said Barbara really wants her because the actress has two children, is a Princeton graduate and "very articulate," but also has great connections in Hollywood.
The brunette beauty, who previously acted as a guest host, is said to be in final negotiations to join the show next season alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, and Barbara.

Jay Leno: “I Got Screwed”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
Although Joy Behar was the guest on yesterday’s Tonight Show, it was Jay Leno who opened up for the cameras backstage. In a chat for Behar’s HLN show, the late-night host claimed Conan O’Brien wasn’t the only one who was treated badly by NBC.
“Conan got screwed. I got screwed,” Leno said about the network’s programming decision. “I mean, this is TV. The reason show business pays a lot of money is so when you get screwed you’ve got something left over.”

HSM’s Monique Coleman Let Off Easy On ‘The View’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Kids, Music, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, Gossip,
I seriously hope that today’s episode of The View was taped like 3 days ago—because there is absolutely no reason why the Vanessa Hudgens issue should not have been addressed. Today’s guest was High School Musical star Monique Coleman. Needless to say, I made a concerted effort to watch hoping she would (awkwardly) say something on her co-star’s behalf. But despite two, TWO, ripe opportunities for them to segue into the controversy, not one host—not even the blunt Joy Behar—brought the subject up.
When first asked why HSM is such a huge hit with fans, Coleman said “I think that’s it’s a positive message that fills a void. There are so many girls that are doing ridiculous things in this industry right now that to see someone that is wholesome and doing something that’s good….parents can stand behind it, kids can watch it. And you’ve got cute kids that are doing good things.” Seriously, how could someone not make a crack on at least the
wholesomepart?
Then when asked if there would be an HSM3, Monique claimed all six co-stars would all be ‘absolutely interested’ but that it was just basically a matter of seeing if they could get all of them back together to do it again. Uhh—how about the fact that maybe Disney might not
wantsome of you guys to come back again now??
NOTE TO SELF: ‘The View’ is owned by Disney. You shouldn’t have wasted your time expecting anything more…

Whoopi—Rosie, Version 2?
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows,
So, it was Whoopi Goldberg’s first day as co-host of The View—you would think she’d lay low with controversial discussions… um, I don’t know… until the second or third day? Perhaps in an attempt to spice up the conversation a la prior hostess Rosie O’Donnell, Goldberg weighed in on the Michael Vick dogfighting issue. She came to his defense, saying that, in the South, where Vick is from, dogfighting is commonplace. According to Goldberg, “It’s like cockfighting in Puerto Rico. There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country.” Now, while I understand this show is a platform for individual “views” (hence, the name), and it may be true that in the South this is not uncommon… I have to ask, isn’t there some shred of decency and common sense that might prevail over the need to fight dogs and kill them? I don’t think there’s much defense for anyone conducting this sort of business, and I have to question celebrities and professional athletes that have so much going for them and then do something stupid. Vick will be sentenced in December and has been suspended indefinitely by the National Football League.
