Could Ricki Lake be enjoying "The View" anytime soon?

It looks like her part-time return to television with "Game$how
Marathon" may translate to full-time.

With Star Jones leaving, there is speculation that Ricki Lake may be
taking her place at "The View." If she does, it'll be a return to
daytime after her show ended two years ago. It may have been her own
decision to throw in the towel, but the real reason was that the
stations who used to carry her show in the afternoons have buried it to
3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. Oh yeah, not to mention Dr. Phil getting up
and up in the ratings.

Two other people I see vying for Star's position are Paige Davis (who
also returned to TV on G$M after she was given the pink slip by TLC) and
former "E! News" anchor Jules Asner. Ironically, she and Star both used
to cover red carpet events for E!...but not together, of course.

And yes, Jules was one of the hosts of "View" knockoff "Life and Style";
it got the cancellation notice after one season and ratings below 1.0.

With Rosie O'Donnell already in the mix, could either of those three
pick up where Star left off, or will "The View" go onto Season 10
without a replacement? As we always say in the business...STAY TUNED!

The first televised HEN PARTY ever! Sad show for females with nothing
important to say. Watched 1 show, 15 minuets, concluded that we should
take the vote away from most women. Lib women! All on the show are!

Dear God, WHY? She showed herself to be totally incompetent on GSM -- if
anything, it should have secured her retirement.
