When Nicolle Wallace is introduced, Rosie jumps in: “I really like her – I swear to god! It’s all real this year. When Rosie Perez is introduced, O’Donnell high fives her. Rosie manages to remain front and center through the rest of the new-cast introductions. She shows off her pedicure, and says she’d happy now, having married and lost 50 pounds after having a heart attack two years ago, thanks to a vertical gastric sleeve which she said can “save your life” after you’ve tried everything else and your body “starts to break down, like my heart did.” “I haves sciatica, and I’m trying to stretch,” Rosie explains. Rosie sat barefoot, with her feet up on the seat of her chair as she assumes the lotus position. Rosie, however, made sure all eyes were on her as the new gang gathered around The View’s traditional kitchen table - only now a much smaller table, and shiny white in keeping with the show’s new shiny white in-the-round set. Whoopi Goldberg assumed her long-held position of air traffic controller, settling that question for now as to whether she or Rosie O’Donnell would get the controls. The show opened glutinously, with The New Ladies Of The View kissing the rings of Barbara Walters, sitting on a throne, who ordered them to “go out there and let them see why we have the best show in daytime TV.” (Babs stuck around for the rest of the show, looking sort of third wheel-ish, according to a source.) An overhauled The View kicked off this morning with no fireworks, but, of course, it’s only Day 1.
