Page Six also says that Joy brought as her guest when she was on the show that female View producer who is suing the network for age description, and security escorted the producer out.  haha, way to go Joy!  Stir that pot!  http://pagesix.com/2014/11/03/view-staffer-kicked-out-of-studios-after-lawsuit/

Ha!  That's hilarious! Nice find Morbs

Eh, so a strong woman like Rosie [who actually has a dozen Emmys for her own show] is a bully but Babs had to arrange for Geddie to get a Daytime Emmy for lifetime achievement for the way he ran this show into the ground?

Who knows if this story has any merit but either way I say, "So what?" Rosie was brought in to make this show good again and it sounds like the anonymous source wants it to be business as usual. If she's shaking up production, then good for her; as far as I'm concerned the bookers from the last few years sucked.

Sounds to me like Geddie is planting bullsh*t stories again to stir the pot. You know he still has his boxers in a big old knot over getting the boot. That said, I'm sure neither Ro nor Whoopi are shy about sharing their opinions on or off camera.

I'll applaud anybody and any policy that reduces the number of reality show "stars" on my TV. If rosie is vetoing or reducing this, hurrah! Last season The View was spending A LOT of time talking about reality shows and people and also having them on as guests...way too much.

Full disclaimer, I do watch Million Dollar Listing, the real estate related show, because I love to see the houses...but I'm fine not seeing those realtors on any talk or other shows!

Laughs about Bernadette Peters appearing in the middle of that Page Six piece for no reason...

 

 

 

ABC threw former staffer Bernadette Piccolomini out of “The View” studios Monday morning after she filed a lawsuit against the network.
Piccolomini, 63, a “View” producer who worked for ABC for 32 years, alleged age discrimination when she was let go.
On Monday, Joy Behar was invited back on “The View” as a guest and brought Piccolomini.
A spy says they were in the makeup room with Whoopi Goldberg and Bernadette Peters when security ushered Piccolomini out.
One staff member said, “They escorted her out like a common criminal.”
An ABC rep said, “Piccolomini was escorted from the building by ABC security because she is on a ‘do not admit’ list.”

I guess Joy thought she had more sway that she does.  Just sayin'.

OMG, CathinAZ, you found one of my soft spots.  I can't get enough of "Property Porn" & the games realtors (& sellers) play!!!  I really wouldn't mind seeing any of the realtors interviewed because they're SO fascinating.

I know!  Was Peters on the show this week and I missed it?   Or was she just hanging out in Whoopi's dressing room?  Random.

Off topic, but the MDL guys usually show up on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live sometime after a season ends.  Check your listings!  

The Daily Mail is a lying-ass rag but I can believe ABC is desperate enough to try anything to get people talking about the show again.  ABC is probably cynical enough to think bringing Sherri and her drama back would get people talking.  Joy would be useless without a dum-dum right-wing talking point generator to play against.

 

The show is a boring mess, and Rosie O should have never been rehired and Whoopi still needs to be fired.

The Daily Mail makes shit up all the time.  Someone probably heard Joy say she missed it or something and anyone within earshot of Sherri knows she's not over it. 

 

If the ratings are falling among 18=34 year olds (really didn't know that was a big daytime demo, lol)  but if that's the demographic they are after I doubt bringing back a 70 year old and a 47 year old would help.  Maybe they should put someone on the show that's actually in that age group?  Doesn't seem like rocket science.    Oh, and 86 the co-host acting like the Old Wise Sage at the table who doesn't want viewers to tweet her while they're at it.

I'd vote WG gone, RO Mod, Joy back, NW still there. Joy is more devoted to News that Sherri which is an understatement, I know.

RP has grown tiresome to my ears and I am not interested in her interests. IMO the show needs to smarten up, not go into the trenches of trash tv. Plus one former co-host also has awfully controversial legal issues coming up soon in court. And she could have a problem explaining not listening to The Voice telling her 7 years is enough.

I know this isn't news or anything, but w/the talk/rumors(?) of former hosts coming back what would others think about bringing Bonnie Hunt as a co-host on the show. She is such a great host and interviewer and people generally love her, but i'm wonder if she burned her bridges w/Babs when she pissed her off during that one interview by saying she had a glamorous life.  I just re-watched that interview on the YouTube, and Babs was such a c-u-next-tuesday to Bonnie.

I would co-sign in my own blood to get Bonnie Hunt on this show as moderator!!!

 

Edited to add:  However, it would probably take a LOT to get Bonnie away from her family in Chicago!!  Also, Babs has nothing to do with who is on the show now (as far as I know).

I like Bonnie Hunt a lot.  Last I heard she was again developing a sitcom.  I think she's way too nice for this format though.

 

Rosie was asked on Ask Ro if she is leaving and if Joy and Sherri are being courted back, and she called it absolute bullshit.  But considering how vague she always is on Ask Ro, she could have just meant that it's absolute bullshit she is leaving.

Wasn't the speculation I out Joy anf sherri coming back in an English publication that is sometimes right but often just spins stories and is known to accept info from "sources" that are often the celebrities or their agents? I think the story is not true and was printed to get some chatter going. And I wouldn't be surprised if sherri/her people planted it to keep her relevant and her name in the news.

I hope jeffrey is getting some stability and consistency in where he is living (apartment in city or at the house she,s trying to sell?) and in his schooling and therapies. Who's helping her with him while she,s in the play and traveling for her upcoming movie roles?

I don't doubt the article was fiction, however, didn't it also state that Rosie knew nothing about it and that it was happening behind the scenes.

I know that article is most likely false...but if they're going to bring somebody back, PLEASE let it be Joy. That would make the show better for me, since it really hasn't been the same since she left. Unlike Rosie O., I don't think they'd muzzle Joy when it comes to politics, and Joy can play indirect as well as Nicolle. If it's that other monstrosity, I'm done. After all the hope this season seemed to give that they were elevating the show, only to run backwards at the first sign of trouble, just no.

 

I like Rosie P, but I like someone's suggestion of Eva Longoria replacing her. She was someone I suggested last year, and she is very devoted politically. As far as the voice police, hers is very nice, particularly her laugh.

FWIW, I saw joy in some TV interview after she left the view (maybe with Jay Leno or Meredith) and she did tell the story about being temporarily fired because Babs was mad about ER mentioning the rosie hire prematurely.

Edited because I always hit "send" to quickly and typing on my iPad is tricky

"Sorry, I even edit badly and auto correct on my iPad inserts words and characters that I didn't mean.....ugh.

That line should have read "Babs was mad about her (Joy) mentioning that Rosie was hired"

 

 

Okay-now that all makes sense. I couldn't understand why joy would be fired for something that Entertainment Tonight reported!

Tonight there was another negative story about backstage bickering on the show. I couldn't link it but check out New York Daily News for a story titled "Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell brawl backstage at 'The View,' leave Rosie Perez in tears". It is accompanied by unflattering pictures of the ladies, a couple with old cohosts. Strange. Some person(s) at the paper is enjoying putting out negative stories and some person(s) at the show is leaking negative stuff if it is true. There are more newsworthy topics for e media to spend their time on! Every workplace has some conflict and I hope whatever is happening is being greatly exaggerated by whatever 'source' is providing the 'news'. Ferguson and Cosby are both controversial, touchy subjects and should not be treated lightly.

Im pretty sure the issues are exaggerated.... These are back to back comments..... the bold is mine for clarification.

 

“Rosie (O’Donnell) was yelling at everyone. First, she had a fight with Whoopi and then she had a fight with the producers,” a “View” staffer said.

 

But at least two show sources claim that while she’s “frustrated” at times with the show and its producers, O’Donnell has not raised her voice or “yelled at anyone for at least a month.”

 

Both of those can't be correct.

So where's this negative crap coming from and why? The NY Daily News to sell papers? Someone at The View? Someone who was at The View to stir the pot? A disgruntled ex-staffer?

I don't doubt that there may be some vigorous discussion behind the scenes as the new season evolves, but why publicize probably exaggerated negative publicity?

P.S. I'd love to know who picked the unflattering photos that ran with the story and why Rosie Perez with her arm in a cast which happened MONTHS ago and two current hosts with two former hosts who could have been easily been cropped out of the picture. Just odd!

  • Love 2

Per Rosie, Monday's show will be live. Thank goodness. I'm just glad someone is there (finally) to call Whoopi on her BS. Every other host has been too intimidated, including BaWa. She's in no position to give parenting or relationship advice and her poop, fart, sagging breasts asides are not funny. I still think Rosie's picking her nose was just to give Whoopi some cover.

Why I am picturing Bill Geddie  lurking around a parking garage making cell phone calls to the Daily News?  Ha!  Or Bitsy , home with time on her hands disguising her voice and calling in?   Hahahaa, just kidding.  But not really.   By the way, judging by that article it sounds like The NY Daily News is a third rate tabloid rag.  Guess no one at Page Six (The NY Post) would take their calls. 

  • Love 4

I think it would really bother me if the NY Daily News said I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, haha.  We gotta talk about things like Cosby though, it's so strange how people hold up these institutions or people and make them into false gods.   Whoopi can't even bring herself to talk about the accusations and then she wonders why the women are too afraid to go to the police.

LOL.  I was using the below post from Morbs as my reference for the Joy/Entertainment Tonight connection when I was trying to decipher what the typo meant because it was the post directly above the one that CathinAz wrote that had the typo. 

 

 

Joy also said BW called and fired her when Joy told ET that Rosie was joining the show in 2006 before the news was released.  I don't remember that story.

So Daily Mail is now getting the gossip that RP is a diva!  No one can please her in hair and make-up and she is fed up with RO.  She has some ego if this is true.  While she is on her mini hiatus perhaps they will get someone younger and well spoken to permanently replace her.  I notice the mail said Lisa Ling's sister could be a contender for the short stint!
