i am so not buying that it was because of contract negotiations- i bet, in light of all the Imus stuff- her overly opinionated 'view' is no longer welcome.

this had nothing to do with imus' dismissal as unfortunately rosie is here to stay and she is already finalizing a deal for her own new show that will be "view"-like in nature...it's all about the benjamins as she will earn way more money with her own show than she ever could on "the view"

I'm usually not home to watch The View but I took a bunch of vacation days in April and I just happened to watch it a few times. I thought Rosie was annoying. She interrupted people. Especially pregnant Elizabeth. I think it's a good thing that she's going and I'm a fan of a woman with an opinion. Just not a woman with the ONLY opinion.
