The Rosie vs The Donald
Rosie O'Donnell has generated both ratings and controversy for "The View" since joining its panel in September. A couple of weeks ago, she took on megalomaniac Donald Trump, whose ego exceeds even his combover. O'Donnell took issue with his handling of the Miss USA controversy (one of the two "contests" he owns), calling him a poor role model for young women (true) among other things, which clearly hurt his widdle feelings. Trump immediately fired back with a mass of personal insults and threatened lawsuits. He was annoyed that she referred to his bankruptcy filings (they were not, apparently, for personal bankruptcy but for his casino businesses) and claimed that Barbara Walters had told him she regretted hiring O'Donnell.Yesterday's show was the first live broadcast with Walters since the controversy broke, and she started by stating unequivocally that she was pleased with O'Donnell and what she had brought to the show. She then read a statement, at the behest of parent company ABC, that clarified the bankruptcy brouhaha. Walters made it very clear that O'Donnell was on a previously-arranged family vacation (as part of her contract, she has off when her children's school is in recess) and would be back next week. The show's ratings have been higher than ever, and it has been singled out by various media outlets as "a show to watch."
It is no coincidence that Trump's "The Apprentice" premieres next week. This master of self-promotion will do anything to call attention to himself and his sagging reality show. Who will he attack next? I'll bet Rosie's silence on the matter is driving him nuts. Serves him right. There's nothing worse you can do to a blowhard than ignore him. I vote we all ignore him when "The Apprentice" returns to the airwaves.

Hey, this is just a total repeat from Rosie's big, fat mouth.
Rosie is a self-promotiong creep herseef and she sucks. To get herself publicity, she"outed" Clay, bashed babes, pretended to love Tom Cruise and claimed Christie Alley didn't lose the weight she said. Need I go on? Stop rehashing old copy.
Don't tell me to "stop rehashing old copy" until you learn to spell and get your facts straight. "Outed" Clay? Not quite. And anyone who knows anything about weight and body proportion can tell you that Kirstie Alley, at 5'8", could not possibly weigh 145 pounds at the size she is now. Also, just because she's gay doesn't mean she can't appreciate good looking men (case in point: Julian McMahon).
Need you go on? Absolutely not.
