Duff will fill in as View co-host

ABC’s The View anticipates a colossal lineup of impressive guest hosts while co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck goes on her six-week maternity leave.
The show’s producers are expecting the roster, which includes doubles tennis star and model Anna Kournikova, Food Network’s vixen Rachael Ray, and teen star Hilary Duff, to take over after Hasselbeck’s due date of March 29.

“We’re trying to pick people that are fun for our audience to see, and we want to make sure everybody knows this is not a job audition,” said executive producer Bill Geddie in a New York Post interview.

Hasselbeck, known for her stint on Survivor: Outback, won an on-air audition process to replace Lisa Ling.

Her husband is Washington Redskins quarterback Tim Hasselbeck. This is their first child.

Other guest hosts lined up for Hasselbeck’s absence include Desperate Housewives co-star Andrea Bowen, That ‘70s Show starlet Mila Kunis, and 8 Simple Rules’ Kaley Cuoco.

Duff has reportedly been confirmed for the week of April 4 and Kunis will join The View’s hosts, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Joy Behar and Barbara Walters on April 27 to 29.
