ABC's "The View" appears to falling apart at every turn. Insiders reveal that original "Dreamgirls" star Sheryl Lee Ralph may be replacing Star Jones, and Meredith Vieira may be replacing Katie Couric if she leaves NBC's "Today."

The skinny (no pun intended) is that Star is about to get the boot because of her "abrasive" antics. Star's ABC contract expires in August, and no word yet on whether "the powers that be" will be ready to endure another contract negotiation with her.

Insiders directly connected with NBC News reveal that Meredith Vieira is now the first choice of the network to replace Katie Couric if she leaves "Today."

There's also talk of expanding "Today" to four hours. The insider estimates there is currently a 70 percent chance that Katie will jump to CBS.
