'The View' lining up guest hosts

NEW YORK (AP) -- Following the exit of Star Jones Reynolds, "The View" is lining up guest hosts for the next few weeks.

Brandi was scheduled to make her second fill-in appearance Friday on the daytime talk show's panel of women. Also lined up: "All My Children" star Susan Lucci and two personalities from "Dancing With the Stars" -- former contestant Kelly Monaco and judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

Others will be booked between now and August 4, when the show goes on a month's hiatus with repeats or previously recorded shows. (Story: Jones Reynolds: 'Viewers ... deserve the truth' )

"The View" isn't trying out replacements for Reynolds this summer; that will be done after Rosie O'Donnell makes her debut on the show September 5, spokesman Karl Nilsson said.

That doesn't mean some of the women who appear this month won't be considered for the permanent gig, he said.

I watched the Star Larry King interview. What I don't understand is that according to Star the decision was made last fall not to renew her contract. She only found out about it officially in April. So how come ABC didn't/doesn't already have someone to replace her. Don't you find this strange?
