Rosie O’Donnell is Back & Taking it to ‘The View’

You love her, you missed her, former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell is set to return to our TVs as the new co-host of The View.  

The comedienne let loose her own daytime show in 2002 so she could concentrate on raising her children with partner Kelli. 

According to reports,  ABC execs will announce the news that Rosie will take over Meredith Vieira’s role who is leaving to co-anchor the Today show.

Everybody Loves Raymond’s Patricia Heaton and news reporter Connie Chung have also been linked to the co-host availability.  Apparently the winner was decided via mud fight and O’Donnell won with a surprising S & M studded leather whip to Chung’s backside.
