Wise Choices for The View

Word on the street is that ABC is in final negotiations with Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd to sign on for ultra-coveted positions as co-hosts on The View.

BeansTalk has been quite bored with the morning chat program since Rosie's dramatic departure this past spring. Our interest may be sparked, however, with the opportunity to hear political leftist and quick-witted Goldberg put the comparatively weak Elisabeth Hasselbeck in her place. The Oscar and Emmy winner should also add some much needed star power to a stale line up.

We are equally enthusaiastic about the hilarious Sherri Shepherd. (Although we were secretly hoping that Kathy Griffin would edge her out.) We do laugh out loud as she discusses ex-husbands, prison, and homicidal urges. If our readers are not familiar with her acting talents, catch her in the upcoming comedy flick Who's Your Caddy.
