The gals of The View are about to get some competition from CBS. With NBC’s proposed MomLogic chatshow presumably on the backburner, CBS is reportedly forging ahead with plans to unveil its own daytime panel talk show for women — this one targeted toward mothers and patterned after ABC’s Emmy-winning gabfest The View, which features Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, and Joy Behar.
“It’s a daytime panel show to take on ‘The View,’ targeted at women with children and hosted by celebrities, journalists and regular moms. A pilot will be shot in early May,” says one tattling tipster at CBS.
Possible panelist include former Roseanne star Sara Gilbert, plastic surgery enthusiast Lisa Rinna, and Julie Chen — host of Big Brother and The Early Show, who also happens to be married to CBS president Lee Moonves.
