Scuttlebutt on the street has it that ’70s icon Marie Osmond will replace Sara Gilbert on The Talk, with a big announcement coming from the show this Tuesday. However, according to TMZ, not all the other ladies on the show are happy about that.

We’re told they feel a better replacement for Sara would have been someone younger and edgier … not the 59-year-old singer. But, the bosses laid down the law, and Marie is a go.

Marie is still busy with her current Vegas residency at The Flamingo with big bro Donnie – doing five shows a week! – so she’ll have to do double duty, flying back and forth from Vegas to L.A. until November, when the show ends. Whew!
