Now that Rosie O’Donnell is out of the picture, The View is on the look for a new co-host to fill in the vacant spot. Many names have surfaced as a possible replacement, including Mario Cantone, Ross Mathews, and now, Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump.
View creator and host Barbara Walters is hoping to perk up the program’s ratings by inviting Trump’s daughter to join as a regular host. However, the businesswoman turned reality TV star has turned down the chance to replace her father’s foe.

Since Rosie O’Donnell left The View in May, many fans and media outlets have aired their suggested and favored celebrities that might possibly fill in the vacant hosting spot. However, according to People magazine, producers of the ABC award winning talk show are currently contemplating on two gay men for future co-hosts.
Originally consisting of an all-female panel, The View is now reportedly considering Mario Cantone, 47, and Ross Mathews, 27, as strong contenders who could be joining Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Cantone, who played wedding planner Anthony Marantino on Sex and the City, and Mathews, known as “Ross the Intern” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, will both appear as a guest co-host on July 12 and July 17 respectively.

It was reported earlier that former The View co-host Rosie O’Donnell expressed her desire to become the next host of the long-running game show The Price is Right, saying in a video posted in her website that she had been pleading with the show “on a daily basis” and that she “still sends them emails everyday.”
However, after meeting with the producers of the show last week, O’Donnell has decided not to pursue the hosting job, mainly because it would require her to relocate, an issue that was also left unanswered in previous reports.
