I so luurrrve you darling! Any sign of hard feelings between former The View co presenters Barbara Walters and Star Jones appear to have gone after we snapped these exclusive pictures of them embracing following an early breakfast together in NYC. Babs puckered up and gave Star a peck on the cheek as they said goodbye. Despite the rumors, maybe Barbara had nothing to do with Star leaving the show after all.

Barbara Walters had the privilege of welcoming Whoopi Goldberg to "The View" today as the permanent replacement for Rosie O'Donnell (who unexpectedly left 2 months ago).  Whoopi is 1 of only 10 people to have ever won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony and a Golden Globe.  Co-hosts Joy Behar and Elizabeth Hasselbeck appeared very pleased with the decision as Hasselbeck said, "She is soulful and has a world of experience to bring to the table." Congratulations Whoopi!!!
