Jenny McCarthy, Brooke Shields in talks to join 'The View' - Report

With Joy Behar officially set to exit The View sometime soon and the elephant-in-the-room that is Elisabeth Hasselbeck's upcoming departure, two actresses are said to be in talks to replace them.

According to US Weekly, Jenny McCarthy is in "serious talks" to replace Joy Behar.

She is in serious talks right now," an insider tells Us Weekly of the star, 40, who is currently hosting her own low-rated chatfest on VH1. "Her show isn't quite working out, so she's definitely open to it." The sassy single mom would replace Joy Behar, 70, when the comedian moves on in August, reveals another source. "The cast and crew get a kick out of Jenny," adds a set source. "She's a good fit. She may not be able to carry a show, but she works well with a group ensemble.

On the flip side, Brooke Shields is said to be in talks to replace Hasselbeck. Along with Behar's set to leave, Barbara Walters will also retire from the show in Summer 2014.
