Jenny McCarthy Replaces Joy Behar on The View This September

Hot topics are about to get hotter with this new cast member!

With 17 previous appearances on the show, The View has officially announced that former Playboy Playmate, Jenny McCarthy will become a permanent fixture on the opinionated table come this September. McCarthy will serve as the replacement to long time comic relief, and host Joy Behar. "I'm beyond thrilled to be joining Barbara and the other amazing women at the table. I'd like to thank ABC for this great opportunity. I look forward to helping make hot topics a little bit hotter, and showing my mom that my interrupting skills have finally paid off." McCarthy has stated.

The show has been receiving quite the cast make-over these past few months, with Elisabeth Hasselbeck leaving to go to Fox News, and producer and founder, Barbara Walters announcing that she too, will be leaving the show next summer. She will remain the producer. “Jenny brings us intelligence as well as warmth and humor,” Walters said in an official statement. “She can be serious and outrageous. She has connected with our audience and offers a fresh point of view. Jenny will be a great addition to the show as we usher in an exciting new chapter for The View.”

Currently hosting the late night talk show, The Jenny McCarthy show, VH1 has generously allowed McCarthy to do both hosting gigs. "I'd also like to give a big thank you to VH1 for their support and for allowing me to fulfill this lifelong dream," McCarthy adds.

To shake things up even more, the newest host has been linked to New Kid on the Block heartthrob, Donnie Wahlberg. Photos have circulated of the pair getting extra chummy this past fourth of July.

We wonder who will be next to be added or leave the show, but we are excited to see how this will spice the talk show up! For all those avid The View watchers, does this new addition joining the cast have you smiling?

The Kardashians Speak on North West Name & Sike Out BFFs!

As if the Kardashians didn't already have reason to smile, the birth of Kimye's new baby girl has the entire family grinning from ear to ear!

Since the birth of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's new bundle of joy, rumors of a confirmed name have been swirling around the net. Yesterday, Kardashian ring leader/mom/momanger, Kris Jenner, took to The View confirming that the newest addition to the clan was in fact, North West.

Check out the Kardashian matriarch giving the world some insight as to why the directional name was chosen, and her stamp of "Pro-North" approval.

Now that the cat is out of the bag on the name, the world is dying to know- does little North resemble her reality television mogul Mom, or her musical superstar Dad? We know that the family has some sort of elaborate, and strategic trick up their sleeve to reveal photos to the world, all in Kardashian time. In efforts to keep photos airtight until that very moment,  reports claim that sneaky Kim K. sent around fake photos of her new baby to close friends. According to TMZ, someone in their tight knit circle, tried to hock the photos to the highest bidder. Talk about a game of trust! They say motherhood changes you, and looks like Kim is finally becoming a bit more protective of her personal life.

Guess someone in Kimmy's inner circle isn't much of a bestie, huh? We just wonder which BFF is getting the axe!
