Jenny McCarthy was rejected by “The Bachelorette.”

“The View” host has revealed that she wanted to find love on the popular dating show back in 2005, only to be denied.

Barbara Walters broached the topic on Tuesday’s show, saying to McCarthy, “You tried out to be a ‘Bachelorette’ and you did not make it!”

“No one knows that!” replied McCarthy.

She explained that after her divorce, she was “lonely” and “needed to be loved.”

“I did this show called Singled Out on MTV back in the day, so I knew that if I thought it would be great because I was single and I love TV, so put those together and brilliant,” McCarthy continued.

The star recalled, “So I got my agent to call ABC and say I wanted to be the new ‘Bachelorette’ and they said, ‘No we’re not using celebrities at this time.’ That was 10 years ago.”

And that was that.

Jenny McCarthy Defends Jim Carrey As “Great Father,” Slams Shia LaBeouf

Jenny McCarthy defended her ex-boyfriend Jim Carrey and slammed Shia LaBeouf on Tuesday’s “The View.”

At Sunday’s Golden Globes, Carrey made a dig at LaBeouf’s plagiarism scandal, leading the younger actor to lash out and attack Carrey’s parenting.

LaBeouf tweeted, “At least I don’t get arrested for indecency on major LA highways! Or abandon love child’s,” also posting a YouTube video of Carrey’s daughter Jane’s band.”

While the Transformers star later apologized, McCarthy wanted to have her say on Tuesday’s show.

She declared, “You can attack myself, but don’t bring my children into it. And I’m sure it’s the same for Jim.”

“Jim and I have become friends now since our breakup,” McCarthy continued. “We dated for five years and I got to know his daughter, Jane, who is a lovely, lovely girl. It’s completely uncalled for and wrong.”

McCarthy added, “Jim is a great father. He loves Jane more than anything in the world. Shia did apologize and Jim did take it, but the whole thing is, do not bring our children into it.”

What do you think about McCarthy’s response to LaBeouf?

Jenny McCarthy is slamming reports claiming she said her son Evan may not be autistic after all.

Irresponsible blogs such as RadarOnline circulated the false story on Friday.

The “View” co-host took to Twitter to blast the “blatantly inaccurate and completely ridiculous” reports, writing, “Evan was diagnosed with autism by the Autism Evaluation Clinic at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital and was confirmed by the State of California.”

McCarthy continues, “The implication that I have changed my position, that my child was not initially diagnosed with autism (and instead may suffer from Landau-Kleffner Syndrome), is both irresponsible and inaccurate.”

“These stories cite a ‘new’ Time magazine interview with me, which was actually published in 2010, that never contained any such statements by me,” clarifies the TV personality.

McCarthy added, “Please know that I am taking every legal measure necessary to set this straight.”
