NBC tried to deny Rosie rumors for months but talk show host Rosie O'Donnell made it clear she was finished with the show. There won't be anymore questions as the producers have chosen a new "Rosie."

Sabrina, The Teenage Witch star Caroline Rhea will sit behind the desk, talk to stars and give away prizes. The blonde comedian is a regular square on Hollywood Squares too.

Rosie's not leaving the entertainment business though. She's leaving the show so she can spend more time with her three children and to take on other projects.

Caroline's demeanor is said to be much like Rosie's, both fun, "bubbly," and caring. So, the big switch may just be from brunette to blonde. Oh yea, and maybe the show's name.
