The View Finally Adds New Co-Host

At long last, the ladies of The View finally welcomed someone new to their table, comedienne Whoopi Goldberg. Promising to be herself and shun little high heels, Whoopi will definitely bring a new perspective and opinion to the show, and the women on the panel are excited about the prospect.

"I think Whoopi brings warmth," Behar, 64, tells PEOPLE magazine. "We know that she brings humor and talent, but she also brings warmth, and on television, people have to like you. She's very, very likable, and I'm thrilled to have her." Barbara Walters adds, "When you have a woman who is as smart and as talented as Whoopi, it makes everyday fun." "We still have arguments about politics, and I think that's the way the show should be," Behar says. "Whoopi, I think she argues also. She has her own speed and her own style."

Although Whoopi was officially welcomed to the chatfest this past Wednesday, she doesn't start her new day job until after Labor Day.

No word on what Rosie thinks yet, but I'm sure it's forthcoming.

Drew Carey Named New Host of The Price Is Right

At long last, a successor to Bob Barker's throne has been named. Even though plenty of others wanted it (i.e., Rosie O'Donnell and Mario Lopez to name a few) and vied for the title, funnyman Drew Carey has walked away with the crown.

He revealed the news last night on David Letterman.

"It was like 15 minutes ago, they called me, it's a done deal," comedian Drew Carey said. "I'm the new host of 'The Price Is Right.'"

Carey told Letterman, "As long as Bob Barker is cool with it, the fans will be cool with it."

"I'm cool with it," Barker told The Associated Press after hearing what Carey said.

Although they have yet to meet, Bob Barker gave Carey a few words of wisdom: "Go out there and do that show the way you think it should be done. Don't imitate me and don't imitate anyone else."

Trump's Ratings Brainstorm Gets a No-Go from Ro

Donald Trump's show, The Apprentice, finally got the green light from NBC for another season. Yesterday when the good news came down, Donald and NBC execs mentioned that they thought Rosie O'Donnell would be a great addition to an episode. NBC Entertainment chief Ben Silverman told reporters yesterday, "It would be great to have Rosie [O'Donnell] on. Donald personally told me to extend an invitation to her." Honestly, after all the waging war of words The Donald and Rosie exchanged, did he really think she'd say yes? Well, if he did, he's outta luck, because her spokesperson told the AP, "It will never happen in this lifetime or beyond."

Rosie Gets a Big, Fat N-O from Price is Right Head Honchos

Somebody said no to Rosie? Yup. Turns out the CBS head honchos turned her down for the coveted spot of host of The Price is Right.

She told TV Guide recently, "They thought I was too controversial to host the game show. I just wanted to ‘gay it up.’" What changes exactly did she want to make? Per TV Guide, she apparently, "wanted to get rid of Barker’s beauties in favor of a chorus line of Broadway hunks, confetti, musical bumpers and a much-needed set makeover 'so the colors actually match!'" She said that she was disappointed that they passed on her, but is in the process of mulling over offers to start her own daytime talk show again.

In the meantime, don't cry for her. She has already finished a tell-all book on her 10-month stint on The View, and plans to release it on September 18th. Guess when you're out of work, you have nothing but free time to write. "It’s not mean-spirited," O’Donnell says. "It’s just honest."

Maks Caught in the Crossfire

How dare The View involve Maks in their petty disputes! People magazine reports that as Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth Hasselbeck were having it out onstage last week, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Laila Ali, of Dancing with the Stars fame, were waiting backstage, feeling awkward. Well, and I guess Joey and Kym were there too:

"All four of us were at a loss," Dancing with the Stars' Maksim Chmerkovskiy tells PEOPLE of his time waiting out the argument with dance partner Laila Ali and fellow Dancing stars Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson. "It was a straight-up brawl."

Chmerkovskiy says the guests had been warned by View staffers that the show could get "intense" – and it quickly did. "At first everyone was sort of laughing, [like,] 'See, I told you it gets intense.' Then it was like, Okay maybe it's one of those very intense ones. But people were still giggling. But then it became a fight between Rosie and Elisabeth."

What made it particularly shocking? "It was like a domestic dispute, like relatives fighting. We came to their house and we were witnessing something a little embarrassing. It was really uncomfortable."

At the commercial break, Chmerkovskiy recalls stone-faced View staffers running out of the room to deal with the fallout. Actress Alicia Silverstone, who was also in the greenroom, was not happy that her segment was next: "She was like, 'I don't want to go on now.' She had one of those hyperventilating moments where she was like, 'Okay, I'm really nervous.' "

But the show went on, and Chmerkovskiy and Ali performed their dance without incident. "It was like nothing had happened," he says. "I thought great, this must be a normal day at The View."

Rosie O'Donnell Abruptly Leaves The View

Honestly, the maturity of people never cease to amaze me. On Wednesday, Rosie O'Donnell got in another political dust-up with The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Rosie had a scheduled day off yesterday to celebrate her partner's birthday, but in a statement issued today, has decided that she has had enough of The View and will not be finishing out the remaining three weeks of her contract.

"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave," Brian Frons, president of ABC Daytime, said in a statement. "Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to The View and wish her well."

The show's co-host and executive producer, Barbara Walters, said in the statement: "I brought Rosie to the show. Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at The View. I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."

Said O'Donnell: "I'm extremely grateful. It's been an amazing year and I love all three women."

In another mature moment, Alicia Silverstone was a scheduled guest after Elisabeth and Rosie's on-air debate, and when she came on the stage, you'll see how she treated Elisabeth in the below video. Seriously.

Donald Trump's New Apprentice Talks

Hey, now that Rosie O'Donnell is going to be free soon, maybe she'd like to audition for the next season of The Apprentice. Yeah, fat chance. Stefani Schaeffer was crowned Donald Trump's newest apprentice in the finale this past Sunday, and the 32-year-old California-born attorney is readying herself for the next chapter in her big adventure. TV Guide caught up with her before she jetted off to New York to begin work with Donald.

TVGuide.com: Congratulations! Were you nervous?
Stefani Schaeffer: No, actually, I wasn't. It didn't [occur to] me to be nervous. I'm fine with that kind of situation. Audiences don't really disturb me.

TVGuide.com: Did you ever imagine you'd be signing up for a season with so many changes?
Stefani: No, I had no idea that tents would be involved or that we'd be living outside. My idea of The Apprentice is living in this beautiful Trump penthouse suite at Trump Towers, doing some business tasks and going up against some vicious people for a while — that was my impression from the show.

TVGuide.com: I know a lot of fans were disappointed with the changes this season. Did you hear that at all from people?
Stefani: I did hear that from people. I got a mixed reaction. Some people liked the tents, because they just thought it was funny to watch people suffer, and some people just thought that it was demeaning and didn't belong in the show. So there was a mixed opinion, but with any show, I think you'll find that with any change anyone makes.

TVGuide.com: Were you disappointed, as viewers were, that the final task was… the final task?
Stefani: I wasn't disappointed in the Renuzit task, but in so far as it being the final task, I was disappointed that it wasn't at least a gigantic charity event or something for a good cause — I thought that that would be a good way to finish the show. If I could change anything, I would make that recommendation. It was a great task, it was. It was very challenging, it may not have seemed it in the final 60 seconds that you saw as an audience member, but it was a lot of work put into a very, very short amount of time, and it was a lot of moving parts.

TVGuide.com: What would you suggest to breathe some new life into the show?
Stefani: You know, I'm not sure. I think the show has a good format. I like the show as it is. I don't know that I would keep the tents….

TVGuide.com: Would you keep it in L.A.?
Stefani: L.A. was really interesting, and if the tasks are challenging enough, it really doesn't matter where the show is. The show being in New York added a heightened sense of, I don't know, anxiety, feeling like you're in a rush — I think that was conducive to it being an experience. But L.A. was good, too. We're so spread out in L.A., the stress is there, it's just different — it's with traffic, it's with limitations of when businesses are open and that kind of stuff, so I think both locations have their advantages.

TVGuide.com: Do you feel the show took advantage of the L.A. setting as much as you'd expected?
Stefani: I don't know. In retrospect, we did do two different types of commercials and we did do things, like the tour-bus task, that were Hollywood-esque, if you will. We probably could have done a little bit more.

TVGuide.com: Was staying under the radar a "genius strategy" you planned?
Stefani: My strategy was to stay out of the firing line, and that meant doing a good job and making sure I had the respect of my teammates, and it was effective. It made me end up in the finals and I did it without ever ending up in a boardroom. No project manager ever brought me before Mr. Trump to try to get me fired, no teammate ever said anything negative about me, so I think it was a great strategy and I don't think I was under the radar at all. The audience sees a very tiny portion of the footage, and I can tell you that I was as active throughout the beginning of the show as I was shown to be by the end of the show, so you can't actually fly under the radar in a situation like this. With teammates who are all looking out to be No. 1 and be the winner, don't you think someone would say something to try to get you fired if you weren't pulling your weight plus more?

TVGuide.com: Definitely. And with your crew, you had very loud, boisterous people alongside you.
Stefani: We did. They were very loud. We had Chicago and New York adequately represented and quite a voice from Seattle as well.

TVGuide.com: I know you volunteered at one point to be PM.
Stefani: I did volunteer. It was after Surya was fired, but I was outvoted once again, because I wasn't perceived to have survived the boardroom, so to speak, and the rule really was that if you were one of the two survivors coming out of the boardroom, you had first dibs at being the PM.

TVGuide.com: Right, to prove yourself.
Stefani: Yeah, so that resulted in my never having a chance.

TVGuide.com: Did you see PM as being a danger zone?
Stefani: Not to me. I don't think that being a PM would have been a danger zone, only as much as if you lose, you're in the boardroom. But if I had been a PM and had lost a task — which I don't think I would have — and been in the boardroom, I would have, by far, defended myself better than the other candidates. I don't think I would have been fired despite being a PM.

TVGuide.com: Is there anyone you thought should have been in the final four?
Stefani: Wow. Perhaps Kristine could have been in the final four.

TVGuide.com: She had a surprising firing.
Stefani: You know, I would have liked to have gone up against her, I think she's very qualified. She was great.

TVGuide.com: Did you see her as your toughest competitor?
Stefani: Probably the toughest on Kinetic.

TVGuide.com: And what about Arrow?
Stefani: On Arrow, my toughest competition was James.

TVGuide.com: And you felt that even before the finale?
Stefani: Yes. That was my only competition.

TVGuide.com: What was the most frustrating part of the process for you?
Stefani: Life in the tent without a bathroom — that was frustrating. No running water when you're kind of a girlie-girl and you like to have your accessories about. Not having a blow-dryer, that was tough, sharing a port-a-potty with a bunch of guys, that was a little rough, no refrigerator....

TVGuide.com: Nothing about the tasks themselves?
Stefani: The tasks were the tasks. We all signed up knowing we were going to be handed some crazy assignments with just ridiculous deadlines and little or no sleep, very little food along the way, and you wouldn't have the opportunity to do your daily routine that puts you in your comfort zone. We just had to deal with it. The tasks were what I expected them to be — they were intense — and I would do it all again.

TVGuide.com: Would you really consider hiring James, as you said, now that you've won?
Stefani: I really would. If Mr. Trump gave me the opportunity, I would hire James. He's a great guy, a great worker and a smart man. I always said — and he said the same thing — we would hate to break up the team, and I think we did a really good job at maintaining a sense of loyalty and we were able to present our strengths respectively without bashing each other, and that's what we set out to do. I have great respect for him.

TVGuide.com: When do you leave for Cap Cana?
Stefani: I have no idea. I leave for New York, and then I don't know what the future holds after that.

TVGuide.com: Probably lots of meetings before you go.
Stefani: Probably.

TVGuide.com: Well, if the show returns, maybe we'll see you again, but on the other side of the boardroom table!
Stefani: Hopefully! Maybe I can sit in for Carolyn.

Rosie to Leave The View

After this weekend's tantrum, I bet there are a few happy smiles with this announcement. Chatfest host of The View, Rosie O'Donnell, has not been able to reach a contractual agreement with ABC Daytime, and as a result, she will be departing the show in mid-June.

"Working with Barbara [Walters], Joy [Behar] and Elisabeth [Hasselbeck] has been one of the highlights of my career, but my needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me," Rosie says in a statement to ABCNews.com. "To all the viewers out there, I just want to say 'Thank you' for opening up your hearts and your homes to me this past year. But you can always find me at Rosie.com."

Brian Frons of ABC Daytime said, "Going in we knew we would have an amazing year with [Rosie], and that anything beyond that would be gravy. And while we've tried to come to terms on a deal that would extend her [stay] on The View, we find ourselves unable to agree on some key elements."

Barbara Walters weighed in, "[Rosie] has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I am very sad that ABC Daytime could not reach an agreement with her for a second year. We will all miss Rosie. She remains for me a cherished friend and colleague."

So who's up next for the revolving chairs on The View?

Rosie O Lets Donald Have It ... Again

So much for letting bygones be bygones. It seems the flare-up between chat-fest host Rosie O'Donnell and real estate developer Donald Trump has, well, flared up again.

As Emcee at yesterday's Matrix Awards in New York, Rosie certainly embarrassed more than a few of the 2,000 guests being honored in the Waldorf-Astoria Grand Ballroom.

She dropped the F-bomb more than once, causing guest Barbara Walters to lower her head on the dais and cover her face with her hand. Rosie lit into a mini-rant about Donald Trump, and ended it by grabbing her crotch and shouting, "Eat me!" She went on to say that she was sad when Trump called her "disgusting" and "fat" because, "it was always my dream to give an old, bald billionaire a boner." Lovely, Rosie. Truly a class act all the way.

The annual luncheon of N.Y. Women in Communications was honoring Cindy Adams, Meredith Vieira, Joan Didion, Susan Lyne, Arianna Huffington and Lisa Caputo, among others, and counted News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, Joy Behar, Nora Ephron, Martha Stewart and Sen. Hillary Clinton as presenters. Also in the audience were 17 young high school girls who had won scholarships to pursue media careers.

"I was offended by how vulgar and common O'Donnell was," said Robert Zimmerman, a Democrat active in progressive causes. "It was especially inappropriate with young people present."

Brandon Holley, editor-in-chief of Jane magazine, said, "I wasn't personally offended, but I thought it was fun to watch other people be offended."

"I cringed and dove under the table when she said, 'Eat me,' " said one woman attendee who wished to remain anonymous.

Also in the audience were Judith Giuliani, her predecessor Donna Hanover, Judge Judy Sheindlin, Helen Gurley Brown, Sue Simmons, Geri Laybourne of Oxygen Media, Jane Friedman of HarperCollins, and Hearst president Cathie Black.

O'Donnell's publicist, Cindi Berger, told us: "When you ask for Rosie, you know what you're getting. She's not a shrinking violet. She's a stand-up comedienne. She says things that are provocative."

Surprisingly enough, N.Y. Women in Communications was happy with Rosie's performance. Their managing director, Beth Ellen Keyes, sent an e-mail to her handlers saying, "Rosie was fabulous. Please let Rosie know how much we appreciated her being there. She was just great."

She is set to co-host ABC's The View on May 3rd. Knowing for saying exactly what's on her mind, Jenny is sure to give Rosie O'Donnell a run for her money.

Rosie O'Donnell is Persona Non Grata

The folks over at American Idol are none too pleased with Rosie O'Donnell these days. Last week, on The View, Rosie said that American Idol is racist and weightist, for letting prior season's Frenchie Davis go after pornographic pictures of her surfaced, but letting this season's Antonella Barba stay. Yet Rosie is forgetting one big difference - Frenchie was paid for her pictures. Antonella's were stolen off her computer.

American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe issued a statement about Rosie's accusations of Idol's double standard:

"Without wishing to add to the obvious self-promotion of Ms. O'Donnell, I feel as though I must refute her absurd and ridiculous claims that American Idol is racist and/or weightist. Ms. O'Donnell has, once again, spoken without thought or knowledge. Viewers need only look at the show tonight to realize that American Idol constantly confirms to America that talent has nothing to do with weight or color."

Yesterday, on The View, Rosie said that AI producers will no longer supply the gabfest with clips from their recent episodes, because of her comments.

Last night, after Antonella performed, Simon Cowell gave her credit for the swirling media circus around her pictures. "I feel for you because you've taken a lot of stick in the media, and you've handled yourself well. I don't think anyone should be thrown into that situation. I just wish you could sing better."

Rosie's Depressed, Too

We here at the Glitter and Gossip offices seem to be compiling our very own list of depressed celebrities. It started with Zach Braff, then Mandy Moore and Anne Hathaway. Now it's Rosie O'Donnell. In an episode of The View devoted to discussing depression, Rosie revealed that she has been on medication for depression ever since the Columbine shootings, when she felt like it had happened to her own children:

"I couldn't stop crying," she said on an episode taped for ABC's "The View" and due to air Friday. "I stayed in my room. The lights were off. I couldn't get out of bed and that's when I started taking medication."

Anyone concerned about the stigma of taking medication for depression should know that "it saved my life," she said.

When she began taking antidepressants, O'Donnell, 44, said she began yoga and "inversion therapy," where she hangs upside down by a swing for 15 to 30 minutes a day. She demonstrates it on "The View."

O'Donnell said she also has seasonal affective disorder, often called SAD, the wintertime blues that can strike when the days grow short. SAD is characterized by recurrent major depressive episodes during the fall and winter.

She's "instantly happy" on sunny days but feels as if she's being tortured when it's cloudy. She feels the most important thing to do when you're feeling depressed is to get up and move.

"Like in `The Wizard of Oz' the color goes out," she said. "That is what happens in depression. Everything gets gray."

I think am getting depressed because so many stars are depressed. The whole "money doesn't equal happiness" thing is true after all. Good to know I can stop buying lottery tickets.

Rosie to Leave The View After First Year?

Well, if the report at TV Week is accurate, then yes, View co-host Rosie O'Donnell will be leaving her seat on the ladies gab-fest in a move to go back to a one-woman show.

The contract that the controversial co-host of ABC's "The View" has with the network stipulates that she must first negotiate with a division of the Walt Disney Co. in good faith if she wants to strike out on her own with a new show, according to people familiar with the contract. Disney owns ABC.

Those same sources said they are confident Ms. O'Donnell will trigger that clause by spring or summer.

Attendees at the National Association of Television Program Executives conference this week in Las Vegas speculated that Ms. O' Donnell already had a handshake deal with Warner Bros. for a new show. A spokesman for Warner Bros. said there have been no negotiations. A spokesman for Endeavor, which represents Ms. O'Donnell, could not be reached for comment by press time.

With Rosie bringing The View's ratings back to a double digit increase, it certainly would be the perfect time for her to go back to having her own show.

Trump Gets His Star

Donald Trump got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, according to USA Today. The last thing the Donald needs is more publicity, but he's getting it.

Donald must be pretty proud of himself, since Rosie O'Donnell doesn't have a star. That's his son, Barron, who has to be one of the cutest babies ever.
