04.30.2007 ROSIE ON THE VIEW. AGAIN.

Last week Rosie O'Donnell announced she would not return as host of "The View" next year, and now it seems that Roseanne Barr has emerged as the top contender to replace her. The New York Post says:

…several names have surfaced as possible replacements.  Among them are Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathie Lee Gifford and Connie Chung. Out of all of them, Roseanne seems to be the best fit.
"It's going to be hard for them to follow Rosie," says an industry insider. "Roseanne could be the only one capable of pulling it off."
"She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny.  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.

Hmm, seems to me someone's trying to pull the old "fat-girl switch-a-roo".  I've seen this before.  And it's risky.  Damn risky.  But by golly, maybe, just maybe…

    What would gay people watch?

    Wow. This plan is so crazy that it just…might…work!

  4. Tennessee Tuxedo 04/30/2007 11:26

    Or maybe this is WWFLHWW?

    What Would Fat Lazy House Wives Watch?

    More Britney.

    I actually enjoyed her show, once you got past her voice. But I saw her “stand-up” act [insert your own joke here] and she was awful, just awful. The only remotely funny thing she said was at the end, in some song where she referred to that idiot ex-husband of hers she inflicted on the world. Shouldn’t there be capital punishment for people who put their repulsive spouses in front of cameras?

    Hey Tom Arnold deserves a lot of credit…he slept with Roseanne and then overcame a lot of obstacles (lack of talent, etc.) to become a minor celebrity who manages to stay employed and thus not a drain on the social services system.

    Basically they have this one chair on the set of The View that has been reinforced with steel. Starr Jones had it, Rosie plopped herself into it, and now Roseanne. If some non-fat person sat in it, it would just be a waste.

    More of Kate Bosworth’s smokin’ hot friend!!!

    Is there nothing better to report than broadzilla # 2?!

    Dude, what the hell happened to Bikini Monday!?! This shit doesn’t fit at all… All bikini. All day. And some fat old chicks. = penis death.

    I almost loathe myself for this, but I keep having a fantasy where I’m sandwiched between Rosie and Roseanne and then Snaggly comes over to give me a hummer. Should I seek professional help? Oh yeah…more Bosworth boobies!

    Greg do yourself a favor and put your peepee in a vise grip, lube the balls with bacon grease and call your neighbor’s vicious pitbull over.

    Of course Roseanne would be the only one who fits, since Rosie O Fat no doubt stretched out the chair. I will not miss that fat bitch and pray to god she fades into that sweet anonymity that Roseanne had faded into before all this came about. Ride Lo

    This is an upgrade. I wonder who will be the next one to fill in the annoying woman veiw point. My bet is Fran Drescher

  18. CarlitoSantiagoDoe 04/30/2007 12:20

    C’mon, you can do better than that with the heading fonts. What is that, fuckin’ Courier Black? Wait, whose that jabba the hut looking motherfucker . . . MY EYES!!!

    thesuperficial takes a long time to load, doesn’t it.

  20. EdgardoElegante 04/30/2007 12:34

    Do they HAVE TO get another fat obnoxious chick to replace Rosie? I mean, don’t people learn from their mistakes? Who’s producing that shit show anyway?
