Whoopi fights to regain relevance
For weeks the housewife and unemployed communities have been in a tortured limbo: who will take over for Rosie on The View??? Now, it seems The Star may have the answer. The trusted periodical, which recently broke a Pulitzer-worthy story on best beach bods, claims Whoopi Goldberg practically has the job sealed, winning the position over other considered names like Kathy Griffin, Roseanne Barr, and Ricki Lake.
Honestly, these are the best options they have? Have these people not seen a television since 1995? I haven't considered Ricki Lake at all in the last ten years, let alone for a job. Was it Comedy Relief, Sister Act, and her coveted spot in the Center Square that finally led them to decide on Whoopi, or was it just that Paula Poundstone was unavailable?

"For weeks the housewife and unemployed communities have been in a tortured limbo: who will take over for Rosie on The View?" well u may be right about the current demographics of the View but when Rosie was around.. people other than unemployed or house wife also watched the show..but ya thats not the case now..
about Whoopi..well she is not cut out for the job..too monotonous and boring..i mean can she create a controversy like Rosie..? i mean a relevant one..
here is what CBC is telling about her:http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/403808/Entertainment?c_id=wom-bc-bg
