It seems that ABC's long running day time talk show, The View, has finally found it's replacements for Rosie O'Donnell, who is currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with her wife Michelle Rounds. According to the latest gossip news updates, Whoopi Goldberg made Raven-Symone and Michelle Collins' addition to the 2015 cast official earlier last week. While Collins seems like a logical choice, some folks are wondering if bringing the controversial Cosby Show star in on a more permanent basis won't wind up being a receipt for disaster.
While it has been rumored in the supermarket tabloids for weeks now that Empire guest star, Raven-Symone, would be soon be replacing Rosie O'Donnell on The View permanently, Michelle Collins being brought on full-time really wasn't bandied about until Whoopi Goldberg recently broke the news on the TV show Thursday before last (via E! News):
"We love saying it, but Raven and Michelle will be back tomorrow.
"We're trying to make it permanent, so write in to everybody."
Some fans of the show are openly questioning the decision to bring Raven on as Rosie's replacement given her penchant for sharing fairly controversial views on The View.
After insisting that First Lad Michelle Obama might actually look a little like a primate when the light hits her just right a few weeks ago, the Hanging with Mr. Cooper actress recently explained that she thought putting Harriet Tubman on the twenty dollar bill really wasn't a good idea (via HollywoodLife):
"No offense to everyone who's going to be mad at me for saying this, I don't like that idea.
"I don't like it. I think we need to move a little bit more forward. I understand, let me just preface, I understand the history, I was taught.
"I would've chosen someone who is closer to the progression that we're doing now...There's also Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt.
"I personally would've chosen Rosa Parks."
According to the National Enquirer, The View producers might soon find themselves having to replace Whoopi as well.
The tabloids informant claims that since the death of her brother, Clyde, and good friend, Robin Williams, 59-year-old Goldberg is starting to think she shouldn't waste her remaining years working everyday on a TV show:
"Clyde's passing was just the latest in a string of untimely deaths among Whoopi's family and circle of friends.
"It's especially hard when these things come in bunches...[And] it's been one loss after another for Whoopi."
Well at least Goldberg now has two new friends and co-stars to lean on when the times get tough in the future.
