Marie Osmond, 59, 'is replacing Sara Gilbert, 44, on The Talk'

Marie Osmond has been hired to replace Sara Gilbert on The Talk, it was revealed on Wednesday.

The big announcement will be made live on Tuesday's show, it was also claimed. 

But according to the site's sources, many of the women on the talk show had wanted someone hipper to share the round table with. 

The current cast members are Carrie Ann Inaba, Sharon Osbourne, Eve, and Sheryl Underwood.

'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,' a source told the site.

Marie starred on a talk show with brother Donny from 1998 until 2000. 

Marie is still starring in her Las Vegas show with Donny which means she will have to fly back and forth to New York City to do both gigs.
