Singer/actress Brandy guest-hosted on The View earlier this week and she's scheduled to return to Star's seat on Friday. Of course, ABC isn't saying a word about whether she's up for the job, but guest hosting is how Elisabeth Hasselbeck got her seat at the table. I didn't see this week's episode with Brandy, but I read that she pretty much stayed quiet and, even so, Barbara Walters gushed about her at the end of the show.

I've seen Brandy on America's Got Talent and she seems weak to me. She always defers to the other two judges before giving her own opinion about a performance, and her opinions are almost always sugar-coated. With that kind of meek attitude, she's not going to be able to get a word in edgewise with Rosie O'Donnell and Joy Behar beside her.

Who do you think should replace Star Jones? I vote for Tracy Morgan.

According to People, Brandy will be a guest-host on The View next Wednesday and Friday. She's currently on America's Got Talent, playing judge between David Hasselhoff and that one English guy that was clearly put there for "Simon" purposes, but this stint on The View might lead to a permanent spot. Apparently, ABC wants to "audition" different people before picking a replacement for Star Jones (similar to what CBS did before finally deciding on Craig Ferguson for the Late Late Show).

Do you think Brandy would be a good person to fill Star Jones' suspiciously fast-shrinking shoes?
