LEMON TURNS LADIES' MAN!

Gay anchor launches charm offensive to join View's all-girl gabfest

- 

DUMPED CNN diva Don Lemon is trying to woo his way into becoming the first male co-host of The View, but sources say the ladies of the show are a hard sell!

The 57-year-old dropped anchor hosted a lavish party at his Long Island mansion for The View’s liberal loudmouth Sunny Hostin to celebrate her new novel, Summer on Sag Harbor, and spies say he spent the whole time buttering her up.

“Don was all over Sunny!” spills a source. “He wanted to make sure she knew he was responsible for every detail of the party.” One mole says the gay newsman unleashed gushing praise for the book whenever Sunny was within earshot, and he also cuddled up to Joy Behar for photos.
