Who is Rosie fighting with now?
February 19th, 2007 under The View. [ Comments: none ]

Rosie O’Donnell is picking a fight with Oprah over the talk queen’s controversial interview with kidnapped teen Shawn Hornbeck. Lots of people are outraged, and many are screaming exploitation. But will O v. Ro turn into another Trump-scale nuclear conflict? Sources tell TMZ that Oprah’s MO is always the silent treatment, and that she’s not going to get into a Trump-Rosie-style war with O’Donnell. For instance, sources say, Oprah can’t stand Dr. Phil McGraw, who she thinks is utterly ungrateful to her. But rather than smack him down publicly, she’s dissed privately by not showing up to significant events in his life. O’s given the same treatment over the years to others who have displeased her, like David Letterman and Tom Cruise, publicly denying that there was any feud. That may still not stop Rosie, who’s easily triggered when she thinks kids are exploited.

I hate to admit it, but maybe Trump was right about her. I am not a Oprah fan, but Rosie just needs to stop causing a fight with everyone these days. It is getting old, real fast. If she wants out of The View why doesn’t she just quit already?

Rosie O’Donnell’s response to Anna Nicole Smith’s death
February 19th, 2007 under Anna Nicole Smith, The View. [ Comments: none ]

i was in the air when Anna Nicole Smith died
the plane landed
my phone rang
“Anna Nicole Smith died three hours ago,” my publicist said
“Do you have a comment?” she asked.

unbearably tragic
2 words only
sums it up
pretty much

simply
to tell the truth
to speak of her suffering
2 notice 2 care

fame
more toxic than crack
one hit
and ur done

more tempting than sex
the suffering of someone else
her pain
entertainment

ya know
all anyone wants
r people who they know
will keep them from going over the edge

focus
breathe
keep me where the light is
we pray

Rosie 

I sincerely think she felt so awful about what she said. No one in their wildest dreams though that Anna Nicole Smith was going to die yesterday.

Shocking: Rosie not likely to renew with The View?
January 10th, 2007 under The View. [ Comments: none ]

Rosie O’Donnell — quite rightly, I believe — has had enough of Barbara Walters and "The View." I am told that she is not likely to renew her one-year contract when it ends in June and will leave the crazy talk show after boosting its ratings higher than ever. Sources say that Rosie feels that the backstage antics at "The View" "are completely dysfunctional." O’Donnell, who’s got plenty of money and lots of outside interests, simply doesn’t need to be there. I am told that her contract was for "one school year" and that ends in June. But ABC might feel differently, given that O’Donnell has made "The View" bigger than ever. It’s conceivable that the network brass will prevail — either buying out or retiring Walters and convincing O’Donnell to stay as the show’s moderator. Ironically, oddsmakers would have guessed that Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Rosie’s political and ideological opposite, would have been the one to cause O’Donnell the most pain at the show. But it turns out that Walters, the woman who chose O’Donnell for the job in the first place, surfaced as her backstage enemy. The tension between Walters and O’Donnell surfaced yesterday, first when Page Six reported that the pair had a fight about the Donald Trump-Miss USA saga just before the show went on air Monday morning. Then later yesterday, a letter from Trump to Rosie was leaked, in which Trump told O’Donnell that Walters, essentially, had betrayed her to Trump and acted disloyally. Whether or not this is completely true is irrelevant. But this — not the public façade she’s carefully crafted — is the Barbara Walters I’ve seen in action over the years. The first indication of this was seen earlier last year when she ditched the unpopular Star Jones in a most unceremonious and ungracious way. That should have been some indication to everyone that Walters was capable of just about anything as she struggled to preserve what’s left of her crumbling fiefdom at ABC. According to my sources, the Trump letter wasn’t the first piece of correspondence in this story. Walter apparently sent O’Donnell a letter over the Christmas holiday that wasn’t particularly supportive either. O’Donnell told friends she couldn’t believe Walters’ take on the situation. How this leaves "The View" for the rest of the TV season remains a mystery. O’Donnell isn’t going to quit, and Walters can’t fire her without ABC’s approval — and she won’t get it. The show is already lacking a fifth correspondent, and without O’Donnell — who replaced Meredith Vieira — it doesn’t have a marquee name as moderator. Of course, we’d love to hear what Joy Behar is saying off camera about all this.

Forgetting the whole Trump thing, did anyone really think she was going to renew with the show?

Round whatever: Rosie vs The Donald
January 9th, 2007 under The View. [ Comments: none ]

Donald Trump thinks he’s winning the war of words against nemesis Rosie O’Donnell, but in the war of popularity — The Donald is getting his butt kicked.

According to Nielsen Media Research, Trump’s “Apprentice” took a serious shellacking in the ratings this week, while Rosie continued to help the yentas on “The View” leave their daytime competition in the dust.

“The Apprentice” finished a distant third in its time slot on Sunday night, light years behind “Desperate Housewives” and “Cold Case,” and barely in front of old “Family Guy” reruns on Fox. In fact, Trump’s lead-in show, “You’re the One That I Want,” featuring pathetic Broadway wannabes, scored higher numbers. Ouch!

In contrast, Rosie’s been unstoppable ever since she took her first shot at the combed-over real estate magnate. “The View” has been a ratings juggernaut, picking up approximately 77,000 new viewers per week in its metered markets. The latest round of bickering caused nearly twice the surge.

Perhaps Trump should be Rosie’s apprentice!

Wow! She actually posted in paragraph form, I think that means this battle just turned in to all out war. Yikes!

Round who can count any more: The Donald vs Rosie
January 9th, 2007 under The View. [ Comments: none ]

"Dear Rosie,

I hope you had a wonderful vacation with your wife — you needed the rest.

An article in today’s New York Post indicates that you blew up at BARBARA WALTERS for being a ‘liar.’ Actually, I don’t blame you, but in fact she lied to both of us! After your maniacal and foolish rant against me two weeks ago, Barbara called me from her vacation (I did not call her) in order to apologize for your behavior. She had heard that I was going to retaliate against you and tried to talk me out of it. She very much wanted me to go on the show as soon as she got back so that she could ‘patch things up’ (I said no). To be exact, she said that ‘working with her is like living in hell’ and, more pointedly, ‘Donald, never get into the mud with pigs’ and, ‘don’t worry, she won’t be here for long.’ Barbara knows exactly what she told me over the phone and she has to live with it. Perhaps that’s why her initial statement was so mild!

In another incident, when I saw her eating at Le Cirque about two months ago and asked how ‘Rosie was doing,’ she sarcastically rolled her eyes and said ‘Donald, do you have to ruin my meal.’

In any event, you have a good reason to be angry. Please give my warmest regards to Kelly!

Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump

P.S.

I was surprised that you let your spat with Barbara get into the newspapers, but, as I have always said and as you proved with Rosie, the magazine, you are very self destructive. You must work on this for your own good!"

I am so over them, but posting in case you guys are not
