Rosie O'Donnell Joins "The View"

That certainly keeps the show from tilting to the right with the mooted addition of Patricia Heaton. It also proves that O'Donnell has maintained her widespread appeal after ending her own talk show, her successful but trouoble-plagued magazine and coming out. Now daytime TV will be dominated in part by lesbians, thanks to Ellen Degeneres's delightful show and O'Donnell on the gabfest "The View."
