The search is already on to replace Rosie O'Donnell on The View. Rumors are that Rosanne Barr may be first choice to fill the seat. Though Barr was on "Larry King Live" recently and said that she was "not looking for the job," on KVVU-TV in Las Vegas Monday, she seemed to have a change of heart. She told the station, "I'd love it. Yeah, definitely. I think I would do a real good job," adding that she would "stir up some real good controversy." And undoubtedly, some crotch-grabbing.

Can We Get a Joan Cam?

If it happens, prepare your eyes. Joan Rivers says that she's training to run for the 2007 New York City Marathon. The septuagenarian said on The View that she's running for about an hour a day right now and that she may have to wear a special brace to protect all her face lifts. And here we thought the only marathons Joan could do involved an awards show or plastic surgery.

Noteworthy Television This Week: Oscar at the Head End

A look at some noteworthy televison shows this week:

Chuck and Cammy's Wedding

Even though it happened across the pond, Gothamist was a little obssessed with Prince Charles and Camilla's marriage yesterday because when we were wee, we remembered watching Prince Charles's first marriage. Mainly, Gothamist was watching for the fashion. We absolutely loved Philip Treacy's awesome hat and headdress - they beautiful and whimsical and the headdress especially was just a shade short of loony and somehow worked for this post-menopausal (we assume) princess.

Emmy Coverage, 2004

Circa 7PM: We were pretty excited that Joan Rivers and Melissa Rivers were off Red Carpet duty for E!, because if there's one word we don't care to hear on Hollywood-congratulates-itself night, it's "Missy!" But we have our new Missy: It's "Al," as in Al Reynolds, Star Jones' "fiance." Star, who took over E!'s red carpet hosting duties (with some fashion guy named Robert), kept referring to her upcoming marriage and fiance throughout the evening. Eh. And what Star lacks in the bitchiness that Joan brought, she does make up for it in being able to be "black" with black. But still, hearing about Star watching TV in bed with Al makes Gothamist tempted to scream, "Bring back Joan and Missy, those horse faced, plastic-surgeried bitches!"

It's Ross!

In an effort to thwart the still-in-development gay cable channel, Bravo continues to make stridest to be the gayest network on TV. No, not by airing America's Top Model or Sex and the City or Melrose Place in syndication - by signing Ross Matthews, Tonight Show intern, to his own show, "The Ross Show!," silly! Gothamist loves how Ross says "THE ROSS SHOW! is going to be the most fun ever. Are you ready? I am!" and lets you write into him to see if he can make your dreams come true. The show will made up of bits like his Tonight Show work (which is hysterical - see him call Scarlett Johansson a bitch) and out-of-the-ordinary situations. He's like a nicer Cojo, who is just male Joan Rivers. Expect to see Ross on the Today show stat.
