Sherri Shepherd Worth Millions?

I don't know how this is going to work. I liked Sherri Shepherd at first. I thought she was funny until I realized she wasn't really kidding most of the time. The chick is just ignorant. I'm not sure I know anyone who thinks that having both she and Whoopi as co-hosts is a good idea. The only good thing that might come of it is that Whoopi might teach her a thing or two.

I know you have to go for the gusto but did this chick really think that she deserves two million dollars?

Did Sherri Shepherd demand more money than “The View” wanted to give her to become the fifth and final permanent co-host?

According to TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, 11th hour salary negotiations caused the week-long delay in today’s official unveiling of Shepherd’s permanent place on the show, which apparently was supposed to be announced along with the addition of Whoopi Goldberg.

In fact, when we caught up with Shepherd last July during the “Who’s Your Caddy” junket in Los Angeles and asked if the “View” gig was in her future, she quipped coyly: “I don’t know. They’re not trying to pay me.”

Rumor has it that Shepherd was asking for a salary of $2 million. According to Ausiello, Shepherd told producers she wants to make at least what co-hosts Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck are earning.

Also, she is back with a husband who not only cheated but who had a child with the woman he cheated with. I am all for forgiveness if she thinks she can get over it and move on but her husband doesn't seem all that stable or trustworthy. What will this new money mean for a marriage that is already struggling?
