This week, there's a new co-host in town and a rapper's homophobic tweets get her replaced.
"The View" has found its new co-host in the openly gay and usually outspoken Raven-Symone. As of Wednesday, the former child star will be joining moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-hosts Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez.
"Let's have some fun," Symone told her fellow co-hosts after hearing the news.
With her recent statements about the $20 bill and thoughts on being gay and biracial, the show will, indeed, have some fun.
Iggy Azalea has cancelled her appearance at this year's Pride Fest in downtown Pittsburgh; news that comes as no surprise after a number of people criticized the rapper for her past homophobic tweets on Twitter.

As for Pride Fest, the show must go on, and Nick Jonas will be the one to step in and make things happen. The Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh wasted no time in announcing that Jonas will headline the festivities now.

Iconic cartoon couple Homer and Marge Simpson are heading for legal separation. This is according to "The Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean, who revealed the surprising news in an interview with Variety.

"Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who's voiced by Lena Dunham. We'll have cameos from the other women from 'Girls.'"
The separation probably won't last long, but keep your fingers crossed just in case.
