I'm watching right now and it's awkward. no one can get a word in . I think barbara's already regretting it. Sherri is funny though so hopefully they can work out the kinks.

Why??? She used to be funny, but she has been neutered! Kathy Griffin would have been better. Or Sarah Silverman. Or even Ann Coulter. Different views!!!!

I thought she'd get it even after all the hype about the salary but I'm disappointed. I was hoping for Kathy Griffin or a Latina because I think two Black girls throws off the panel.

Sherri doesn't believe in evolution, although she refuses to read The Origin of the Species and she hits her kids. Ugh

Great. What a shitty choice.

I'm never watching the View again.
Christy lezy says – reply to this

41

Congradulations to Sheri but I don't know how this year will top last year. I loved Rosie! I think Sheri agrees to much with the majority. Too bottled. Yeah she is funny. But her view is what bw wants it to be. Good luck though.
Natalie says – reply to this

ChakaJon says – reply to this

Re: The mythical black beauty –

"F" off! Who the heck are you calling an ugly fat woman? Sherri is beautiful, inside and out. She's not fat either, she just has big ta-tas! She's beautiful, talented, funny, smart, witty, forgiving, and passionate. And, she's the perfect addition, as she tends to be most lenient to hear Elizabeth's POV, even if she doesn't agree with it. I love her! Congrats Sherri.

Fukking morons you are says – reply to this

53

What the hell are you talking about? 2 black chicks throw off the flow of the view? What?! How about 1 or 2 or 3 white chicks throw off the flow. You people are so dumb and blind. Please sukk my dikk, and remove that stick from your ass. Grow up, retards

Just what they need another comedian. POOR JOY
atlanta says – reply to this

56

I like Sherri, but what about a LATINA instead of the boring Whoppi???
Maritza says – reply to this

57

I quit watching. Tired of the freak show. She is probably pleasant though. That Whoopugly and her stupid opinions and voice are almost as bad as that big mouth cockeyed lesbian. They are BORING and who cares about their VIEWS. They won't last another year. They are so yesterday.
cat says – reply to this

58

Let me know when this horrible train ride is over! Please make it stop already. No matter who they got at this point I am so over the view!

Re: ivana jerkoff – YOU HILLBILLY
chimp says – reply to this

65

Yes.
Anyone but Kathy Griffin.
Aunt Esther says – reply to this

66

She can be funny, but she a sucks up when it comes to being on the view, you will not get one controversial opinion from her. She wants a check(can't blame her) and will create as little waves as possible.

The View producers know this, that's why they picked her to be on the show.
chica says – reply to this

67

ewwwwww!
andrew stewart says – reply to this

68

OK, so shes funny and cute …. But I refuse to watch a television show with a woman who openly believes in creationism!

Come on, an uneducated voice does not expand our view.

Discuss …

Re: spoiled wife – Come on! How do you know she is from the ghetto? Who are you to say she is ugly? Don't hate cause she is making way more money then you will ever see in this lifetime.
kelmo says – reply to this

75

NOBODY WANTS THAT FAT ASS, DOUBLE CHINNED, TITTIES ALL OVER THE TABLE, NO TALENT NOBODY ON THAT SHOW. THE VIEW WAS TOO SCARED TO HIRE THE BEST CANDIDATE KATHY GRIFFIN, THEY DIDNT WANT ANOTHER "ROSIE", OR MAYBE JOY BEEF CURTAINS DIDNT WANT TO BE UPSTAGED AGAIN BY KATHY'S TALENTS. SHERRI IS ONE FAT BITCH
Brooke says – reply to this

76

Like her or not, Rosie made The View relevant. Not so anymore…too bad that Barbara Walters lacked the courage to back up her hosts, even when she didn't agree with them.
SANTOS says – reply to this

77

The only reason SHERRI was picked for the View is because they wanted another Fat Assed Black Bitch who resembled STAR JONES.
Stephanie says – reply to this

78

BOO. I was hoping for Kathy Griffin. now the view officially sucks
Jessica says – reply to this

79

I don't know about her…but it really dosen't matter because I haven't really watched The View since Rosie left. She was good..really good and now The View is not so good.
peaches says – reply to this

Sherri is not funny on top of everything she is ghetto, not one classy bone in her big body.Besides she is no role model after taking her nasty, lying, cheating husband back.She sucks
Jacob's Mom says – reply to this

Yes, Now I can Watch The View Again !!!!!!!!!!!
C O N G R AT U L A T I O N S !!!!!!!!!!

83

WE LOVE YOU AND CONGRATS! YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK: YOU CALL BRITNEY FAT. WHO CARES AND KEEP THE LAUGHS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maria says – reply to this

84

Sherri is there to represent the ghetto/uneducated view. She spent her first day discussing the nude pictures she sent to her boyfriend who was in prison for arson and burglary when she was in her twenties. This coupled with her views on evolution (doesn't believe in it), hitting children and so on should at some point creat some sparks with the other hosts. That is if Barbara allows them to actually discuss things with some enthusiasm.

she sucks
Chelle says – reply to this

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I love when Sherri is on. Get rid of the old not funny people ( Barbara & Joy) Please!

Where do her Zookeepers sit???????? That's a huuuuge bitch.
Yawn says – reply to this

88

Another reason not to watch — B-O-R-I-N-G — zzzzzz…they should have had perez, mario cantone or even kathy griffin… this choice is way too safe. there is no more edge on this show…BLAH BORING YUCK—i give the show 2 more years tops…
nunya biz says – reply to this

HI everyone, HI SHERRI I KNOW YOU ARE PEREZ HILTON FAN AND YOU WILL READ THIS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I WASN'T WATCHING THE VIEW UNTIL TODAY!!!! THEY FINALLY PUT SOMEONE WORTH WATCHING =)~

CONGRATS!
Tamye says – reply to this

I like her, but I was soooo hoping for Kathy Griffin!
Camille says – reply to this

92

I wish it wasn't another comedian but if they couldn't find anyone else I would rather Sherri than Kathy. I feel sorry for the people with the really dumb comments about her weight, blackness and ghetto remarks. If you want to see educated people in the world around you - why not pretend to be one??? Change begins with yourself….The ignorance on this site is often frightening.
Francis says – reply to this

93

it's official! im never watching that crappy show again! whoopi is so FUCKING boring i can't stand it, and sherri sherpard?? WHO THE FUCK IS THAT AND WHO CARES??
JimBob says – reply to this

94

Uh-oh…she reads this blog religiously! She'll probably read every single word on this page… I guess I'm a fan, go sistuh!
LAURA says – reply to this

95

I HATE her. She is obnoxios & ignorant. She also has no tact & no self control. She is going to be a disaster because she will always have to be the center of attention & forcefully giver her opinion. There are so many classy black women out there, it is sad that she was given the job. Personally, I think she is a racist & resents white people. The times I have seen her on the show she makes stupid comments like it is ok for a black person to do or say x but not a white person. She also makes excuses for the conduct of black people when you know if a white person did the same thing she would be bashing that person. If Oprah, The Today Show & Good Morning America can all have black women that have strong opinions & ooze class then The View doesn't have an excuse for not finding someone. Hopefully, after her time on the view proves to be a disaster she will go away for good.

96

I love Sherri….so glad for your success….God is really blessing her! She is HILARIOUS….she also has a dvd you can buy from her website….she was great on "Less Than Perfect"
melanie says – reply to this

97

Finally Barbara gets some sence! I think Whoopi and Sherri will totally boost their ratings. I could'nt stand Rosie or Star so I stopped watching for a long time, now I might just start watching again. But one little tip Barbara, your show will be golden if you replace Elizabeth too. When she goes on maternaty leave just don't let her come back!
joeyOh says – reply to this

FLASH!! NBC TODAY SHOW is extending another hour doing their own view… BaBa WaWa is done and this Sheri only talks about FOOD. ZZZZZZZZZZ NeXt. Rosie is laughing

Britney Spears & Demi Lovato's First X Factor Critique! Listen Here!

Girls are on fire!!!

We won't get to see how the ladies did until the fall, but today in Austin, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato took their seats as the new judges on The X Factor. Someone had the foresight of smuggling in a recording device to the Texas auditions and we've got the audio from the ladies' first critique!

And you know what? They sound like old pros!

Check out the video (above) to hear Brit Brit and Darling Demi give their thoughts on the first contestant of season two!

They both sound so GOOD! Strong and confident; it doesn't sound like either of them were nervous at all!

Bravo, ladies! We can't wait to see you in action!
