Wendy Williams Blames Rosie Perez View Firing on Fans not Ratings; Defends Justin Bieber Christie Brinkley Bond? [GOSSIP NEWS]

Even though fellow cast member Rosie O'Donnell doesn't want to believe it and Whoopi Goldberg isn't even there to talk about it, it seems that Rosie Perez has been unceremoniously fired from The View after just 4 month on the TV show. According to the latest gossip news updates, Barbara Walters old project's ratings have gotten so low that he producers had to do something fast. Day time talk show host Wendy Williams, who has insisted that she got Perez her spot on the series, doesn't blame the rating or the producers for her friend's getting sacked, however -- Williams blames the fans. Surprisingly enough, the wig wearing gossip queen defended Justin Bieber and Christie Brinkley's relationship. Williams says she doesn't blame the 60-year-old retiree for hanging all over the Biebs in the recent Instagram pics from their exotic vacation together -- she's still hot enough to get away with it.

Despite Rosie O'Donnell's objections, it is starting to look like Rosie Perez really has been fired from The View despite only having been a part of the new TV show for four months.

O'Donnell seemed as confused by the news as anyone of their fans when she recently addressed the rumors, but Variety is reporting Perez' month-long hiatus to prepare for a Larry David's new play gave the producers all the excuse they needed to let her go:

"Perez had taken off the month of January to appear in the Broadway play Fish in the Dark, but it's understood that she won't be coming back to the Hot Topics table once she's done.

"It's unclear when ABC will announce her departure, but for now View producers have been trying other younger co-hosts in her seat."

While most people are obviously blaming the producers rushed decision to get rid of Rosie on the show's evaporating ratings, Wendy Williams wants the fans to know it's really their fault:

"This you all's fault. You are the watchers and we are the talent.

"I feel as though you all are not giving us a chance anymore to prove ourselves.

"Sometimes people need a moment to find their voice and get into their groove."

Speaking of taking some time to find your groove, 60-year-old former supermodel Christie Brinkley has posted a couple of pics of her vacation with Justin Bieber, 20, down in Turks and Caicos, Instagram.

Although, Williams is usually pretty quick to tell hard partying celebs to act their age on social media, Wendy revealed in her latest January 25, contribution to Life & Style, that she didn't see anything wrong with beautiful people being with one another:

"If anyone can hang with the best of them, it's Christie Brinkley!

"She is the best-looking 60-year-old on the planet.

"No wonder the Biebs wants to chill."

Honestly...there is still plenty to wonder about with all that.
