Whoopi Goldberg’s Revenge On ‘View’ Hosts

There's a bloodbath on "The View" — and sources tell The National ENQUIRER that Whoopi Goldberg is the queen sending out the executioners! Fans of the daytime talk show are seeing new hosts added. Others are getting the chopping block or cut back to one day a week, including conservative Paula Faris and former "Cosby Show" kid Raven-Symoné!

The ENQUIRER had the scoop just days before the latest round of brutal firings on the troubled show — but Whoopi's now trying to do damage control via social media!

"I'm not responsible 4 firing or moving people around or negotiating my coworkers' contracts," Whoopi said. "I like having a gig, and as much as I'd like to rule the entire universe, I have enough to do in my life than to take mean-girl pleasure at some one else!"

But sources told The ENQUIRER that Whoopi used her own fat new deal to give her lesser co-hosts the boot! “ABC was desperate to get Whoopi to stay," said an industry insider, "and now that she’s signed a new contract, they’ll do anything to keep her happy. What Whoopi wants, Whoopi gets!”

“It’s clear that she wants ‘The View’ remodeled to her specifications — and the first step in that direction is bouncing the co- hosts who don’t work,” added the source. “The View” already fired comedian Michelle Collins in June, and the insiders had learned Raven-Symoné was being eased off the show!

Joy Behar, the last remnant of the original “View” lineup, will remain on board as a regular guest — for now. “With Queen Whoopi at the helm, almost the entire hosts’ table will be different this fall,” said the insider. “She’s determined to keep ‘The View’ afloat — and if that means making her co-hosts walk the plank, so be it!”
