Not really bothered by it. We've seen a whole plethora of guests co-hosting on the View so for me, her appearance doesn't sway me in one direction or the other. I just hope she does well for herself and can keep up with how fast paced View dialog can get for those not used to that panel discussion/debate format.

Can you imagine if Rosie was still on there? She would show LaToya no mercy. But at least we have Joy.

DesireeNevermind said:

I miss Rosie!!

She would give Latoya hell! She never liked MJ.

DesireeNevermind said:

La Toya would run out of the damn building if Rosie was there.

Timmy84 said:

I doubt it. Her personality is a lot stronger than what she gives off via all her wacky product endoresements and tv appearances...she's not exactly a shrinking violet.

Ottensen said:

I've heard that she's tough but, I just don't know... maybe she can hold off on Rosie.

LaToya can handle Joy and probably check her too.
Rosie 'bout to make LaToya angry then run off the stage in tears.

DesireeNevermind said:

Well Whoopi's on the show. Rosie been out since '07.

midiscover said:

Latoya or Rosie?

Timmy84 said:

I think Whoopi will show her a lot of respect. She preaches with tact and delicacy. I hope she get on her about that weave though.

DesireeNevermind said:

She probably won't but yeah she'll definitely give 'Toya a lot of respect. To answer DaPrettyMan's question, Rosie couldn't stand MJ.

daPrettyman said:

Huh?

I'm talking about Rosie

midiscover said:

Gotcha. I was a little confused.

Rosie didn't like MJ, but I don't think she would say anything out of the way about him to LaToya. The only thing she would probably address is how LaToya is making money off of this man in his death. She would also not like that at all.

didn't rosie dislike MJ cuz she honestly thought he was a pedo? I mean has she sinced changed her mind at all?

dag said:

I agree with you 100%. Victoria Beckham is ultra-boring.

DesireeNevermind said:

I don't know for sure. I've never heard that Rosie didn't like him.

I think LaToya is incredibly talented and should be given the chance to prove herself worthy on The View - lmao!

DesireeNevermind said:

Yea she did. but she wrote a nice tribute http://www.etonline.com/n.../06/75827/

DesireeNevermind said:

omg I totally forgot about Joy. I wasn't going to watch,but now I think i will.

these I must see

SoulAlive said:

Nope. Now with that being said, there are a few Jacksons I'd love to hear from: Janet, Rebbie, and 3T. (Tito's kids), simply because they aren't on the, "let's soak up all the fame we can get" band-wagon that it feels like Jermaine, Joe and LaToya are riding.

However, in there defense, Michael's death was bound to bring-about some interest in hearing from the family, so at least they aren't talking-trash about Michael and respecting his legacy.

Whenever I think of the term, "Michael's family" - I think of Prince, Paris and Blanket. I don't think of, "The Jacksons."

midiscover said:

no, she remained skeptical of him to the end. in the full tribute, not the little misleading excerpt at the et link, she got her shot in. someone posted the full blog in another one of these "r.i.p." threads on this board. i tried to find it at her blog but was unsuccessful. anyway, her belief that he molested boys is clearly spelled out in her 'tribute'.

and no, soulalive, you're not the only one who wishes the rest of the jacksons would disappear, particularly jermaine and latoya. mj may have forgiven them for their jealousy, envy and cruelty toward him in life, but i haven't. (not that it's my place, but let's just say i find them too contemptible for words.)

they're cashing in. but as someone on another board pointed out, they've been left out of mj's will, the mother will only be getting 40% of a revenue stream after all taxes and debts on the estate are paid, and that might only be paid out at certain intervals. and that all ends when she passes away. with her own creditors lining up now, she might not have any money to will to them. so yeah, they probably should strike while the iron is hot cause i do see it cooling off in the next year.

Well, I think if people can sit and watch Tiny and Toya every week, they can watch two hours of LAtoya...

Hell...if I can sit through the commercial for Tiny & Toya I can watch The View for two shows.

SoulAlive said:

I definitely can understand where you are coming from. Makes you think twice. They suppose to be "grieving" right now, instead they signing deals left and right. I feel for their loss, but they have still proven that they are STILL a crazy, weird and money hungry family.

I had the audacity to even watch one episode of that mess....how T.I. can stand Tiny's voice for more than 20 seconds is beyond me.

missfee said:

Exactly.I don't wanna say that they are "exploiting" Michael's death,but it does seem like they are using it to their advantage (career-wise).A few days after MJ's death,Joe was at a press conference and he couldn't resist the urge to hype his own record label that he is forming That is absurd!

Timmy84 said:

At this point,I wouldn't be surprised if Jermaine announces a new solo CD Or if Randy decides to reform Randy and the Gypsys.It seems like,every other day,I hear about some new deal or project that they just signed.None of this stuff would be happening if MJ had not died.

missfee said:

Her voice? How about that snout and upper lip that seems to be in a constant state of tug and pull.

ah fugghetaboutit. she probably a really good mother and friend. plus she had more money than him when they met.


what about a Tiny & Toya and LaToya show?
