Dame Edna is co-hosting 'The View.' Right now.

Well, this is a refreshing change. Dame Edna is co-hosting The View today. File under Gay/Lesbian/Kathy Griffin! “I knew I was gonna be with these ladies, so I dressed down,” she said. I’m glad she explained. I can barely find her in the shot! Later in the show, Dame Edna will be performing songs from her Michael Feinstein Broadway show, All About Me. I’ve already counted three dramatic, prolonged eye rolls toward Elisabeth Hasselbeck and we’re not even through Hot Topics! She just asked if there’s ever been an Eskimo contestant on American Idol and what it means to tweet someone. You probably want to turn this on. (Or just watch it online later.)
