We try to subject ourselves to ABC's menopausal kaffee klatsch The View as rarely as possible, though we have to admit we were looking forward to watching their latest loud-lady addition, Rosie O'Donnell, squeeze the living breath out of Star Jones with one giant, lesbian bear paw. Sadly, however, that display of alpha-gal dominance may not play itself out, as Page Six reports Jones is leaving the show:
ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at "The View," a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won't say is that she's being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show's grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O'Donnell.
The View made Jones the highly visible star she is, but the job has become but one subdivision of an ever-growing multimedia empire: From E! red carpet sycophant to non-best-selling memoirist, to tiny, interactive love guru, Jones is looking at a promising future filled with possibilities. And Jones' husband, Al Reynolds, hopes she picks one quickly because mani-pedis, Dolce & Gabbana leather pants, and premium-label poppers don't pay for themselves.
