According to TMZ.com Rosie is not returning to the View. She has asked for an early leave from her contract.

Could this have had anything to do with her spat with Elisabeth the other day? Sweet little Republican Elisabeth? IMO, Elisabeth really kicked ass that day and stood her ground. She is always being over spoken by Rosie and Joy and I love the fact that she did not give in to Rosie. It was fantastic! It shows me that Elisabeth is a strong woman and just because of her size, she will not be taken down by anyone.

So as a part-time viewer, I can only guess that Rosie’s feelings got hurt and she didn’t want to deal with it. Just a guess I am basing on the look on her face on her last show.

Regardless of the reason, I am looking forward to watching the show more now. I really hope that they bring on Sherri Shephard permanently. I am really a fan of hers.
