Next year, The View<\/em><\/strong> is turning 30 \u2013 and I know this because I moved into my sumptuous Beverly Hills adjacent abode on the day it first aired.  Executive producer Brian Teta <\/strong>has said that he\u2019d like to incorporate every former View<\/em> host into the season-long celebration.  While I suspect Jenny McCarthy <\/strong>will be the hardest one to cajole (to say nothing of Meghan McCain<\/strong>), many people wondered whether Rosie O\u2019Donnell <\/strong>would be game.  I can put your mind at ease and report that she has no hesitation about returning to the show.  \u201cI will go on the 30th<\/sup> anniversary,\u201d Rosie said on The Tangled<\/em><\/strong> podcast, \u201cin whatever way they want me.\u201d   This led to comedian and former co-host Michelle Collins <\/strong>posting a video from Milan, Italy.  \u201cI just heard that Rosie O\u2019Donnell…said that she heard all the co-hosts from The View <\/em>were being asked back for the 30th<\/sup> season.  Now, that was news to me.  Maybe \u2018cause I\u2019m travelling so much my invite somehow got lost.\u201d  This led to some damage control from Teta, who made a statement: \u201cWe love seeing all the excitement about The View<\/em>\u2019s 30th<\/sup>, lots of plans are in the works, but no invites have gone out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosie also told Tangled<\/em> that she would like to revive her daily talk show.  She even has a vision of what it would be.  \u201cIt would look a lot like my old show, to tell you the truth.  I think America wants nostalgia.  I think what they don\u2019t want is celebrity culture.  I think celebrity culture is dead in America…I\u2019d like to do mostly human-interest stories, tell good news, have fun and games with people like we used to, get to have Broadway <\/em>on \u2013 and if a celebrity wants to come on and chat, that\u2019s fantastic.  But it wouldn\u2019t be because they had a movie to promote.\u201d  Until then, Rosie guest hosts Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em><\/strong> the week of August 17th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Whoopi Goldberg <\/strong>got tongues wagging about her View<\/em> salary \u2013 but I think everyone misunderstood.  When she was a guest on Baby, This Is Keke Palmer<\/em><\/strong>, they were talking about what she loves about doing the show.  Whoopi answered quite simply, \u201cThe check.  I love the check.\u201d  When Keke <\/strong>said, \u201cI can only imagine what that check is,\u201d Goldberg shut her down \u2013 \u201cNo, no, you can\u2019t.  Trust me, you can\u2019t.  You would be shocked.\u201d  Palmer kept going on like it was a HUGE check, and said she\u2019d love to fill in.  Whoopi tried to clear it up by saying, \u201cBut as soon as they showed you that check, you\u2019d be like, \u2018What the…!?\u2019\u201d  Goldberg has always said that what she likes is that she gets a STEADY check.  But, trust me, it\u2019s not huge…and Whoopi and I both know huge!<\/p>\n

By the by, Keke will soon have another check coming in.  In 2027, she\u2019ll be hosting The Voice<\/em><\/strong>.  Oh, don\u2019t get excited \u2013 Carson Daly <\/strong>is not going anywhere.  Keke is hosting the season called The Voice: Celebrity<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 where \u201ccelebrities\u201d compete.  Something tells me NBC <\/em>is using the term \u201ccelebrity\u201d like ABC<\/em> uses \u201cstars\u201d in that dancing show.  Carson will continue being a producer for the \u201cCelebrity<\/em>\u201d season, and plans to return in subsequent years<\/u>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
