Rumor has it that the CBS show “The Talk” is getting a cast shake up. Sharon Osbourne is taking time off for season 2 to spend time with her famous hubby, Ozzy Osbourne, now speculation has began about the remaining co-hosts.
Currently the hosts and co-hosts are Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Leah Remini, and my least favorite Holly Robinson Peete. (Sorry, I watched her claws come out of Celebrity Apprentice, and well I may never like her. Just my opinion.) However, I don’t know her so life goes on.
Now rumors are circulating that Leah Remini and Holly may not be a part of season 2. Leah is my second favorite, next to Sara, and she is delightful on the show. She is painfully honest, will fight for kids rights, and is a mother, actress, and great co-host. Not to say that Leah couldn’t tone it down a little. I mean she is more opionated than Sharon. And fans may like Leah less than Mrs. Osbourne.
Holly tells you herself that she doesn’t know what season 2 holds for them, see it here:

The New York Post has other ideas about what’s going down with “The Talk” and they point their finger at Julie Chen. Word is that CBS President (and husband to Chen) Les Moonves, instructed the ladies not to talk about the Casey Anthony case without Chen. The article states that he and Chen were on a break in the South of France and the ladies went on and spoke of the tabboo topic. Moonves told them that Chen is the only journalist with credentials on the show.
The good news for fans is that co-host Sara Gilbert is slated to return.
A CBS spokesperson told The New York Post that “The Talk” finished with a strong first season and the producers are working on a “creative game plan for season 2, which launches on September 6.”
