Brooke Shields Likely to Join "The View"

 The likely new member of the panel is Brooke Shields, according to Showbiz 411. Sources say Barbara Walters really wants her. Shields is very articulate and the right age– 47, believe it or not. She will also be a great Hollywood connection for the bookers, and she’s a mom. Brooke was recently a guest host on The View. According to sources,  the deal isn’t done yet, but it’s close to being signed.
