After hearing official word on her imminent departure, we're not at all ashamed to admit we spent much of Monday wiping away dried, salty tears from our face!!

Barbara Walters is retiring from The View in 2014 and the world sure will miss her charm, experience, and thoughtful insight!

We're elated she's beginning a new phase of her life, though, and THRILLED she has the clout to dictate her own terms!

Unlike the times NBC unceremoniously pushed out Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Ann Curry, and now Jay Leno again, ABC let their golden gal call all the shots!

Rebel Wilson continues to captivate audiences EVERYWHERE, including The View hosts!

The HIGHlarious actress stopped by to promote her new film Pain & Gain, and while she joked that her co-stars’ — Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — bigger builds made her feel “slender,” it was her Whoopi Goldberg anecdote that had us intrigued!

Ch-ch-check out the awesome interview (above)! Rebel even divulges why she chose to become an actress — it includes a trip to South Africa, a bout of malaria, and a hallucination!

While she was in New York, Rebel also got to meet the one and only Bette Midler! She tweeted:

Courtney Love visited the lovely ladies of The View this morning and Barbara Walters grilled her like a steak on Sunday!

After viewing a clip of strung out mid-90s Courtney, Babs demanded to know whether the Hole front-woman was using drugs once again!

Ch-ch-check out the clip for yourself (above) to see the widowed musician's surprising answer!!!

We can't believe it's been 19 years since Kurt Cobain took his own life.

Since then, it's been a roller coaster of a ride for his widow Courtney and their lovely daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

We're happy to see Mama Bear looking happy and healthy these days; hopefully the substance abuse problems are a thing of the past!

If the rumors of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's imminent departure from The View are true, it sounds like she'll have no problem landing on her feet!

After all, homegurl IS a survivor! Ha!

With Soledad O'Brien and Roland Martin recently getting the axe, it looks like new network president Jeff Zucker is playing a little game we like to call Extreme Makeover: CNN Edition! A source close to the situation says they are definitely looking to fill some of these open anchor positions, and Elisabeth could be on their short list:
