Roseanne Barr to Replace Rosie O’Donnell on ‘The View’?

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, April 30, 2007

Roseanne Barr is being touted as the leading loudmouth to replace Rosie O’Donnell on “The View,” according to sources this morning.

Roseanne Barr has emerged as the top contender to replace Rosie O’Donnell next year on “The View,” sources say.

A rep for Barr says she has not been approached.

“It’s almost like that rumor that spread last month about how she was going to be on ‘Desperate Housewives,’ ” said a spokesperson for Barr.

“She’s a piece of work, she’s a character, she says what’s on her mind and she’s funny,” said a source with knowledge of ABC’s sudden and desperate search to find a new co-host to replace O’Donnell who quit the show last week.

“They’re missing strong personalities on that show, and that’s what they’re going to need if they want to keep it going,” an ABC staffer close to the situation told the Post.

During an appearance on “Larry King” last week, Roseanne danced around the question of joining the “The View.”

“I’m not looking for the job,” she said at one point - and joking at another, “Well, I want $10 million, like Rosie.”

But she never said she wouldn’t take it if offered.
