Rosie O’Donnell

Rosie will stick around

Page Six is reporting that Rosie O’Donnell is going to stay with “The View” for at least the next year. When her contract with ABC ends this August she’ll sign on for one more year.

There’s been talk of her leaving to start a new show, but since it’s too late to start a new one for September this year she’ll stay with “The View”.

The addition of Rose to the show has increased the shows ratings. Page six also says that Rosie wants executive producer Bill Geddie out, but a rep for the show says “There is not one detail of this that is accurate.”

Rosie and The Donald at war

by Tricia

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump are at war.

The trouble started this past Wednesday when Rosie openly called Trump a “snake-oil salesman” following Tuesday’s announcement that he would not fire Miss USA Tara Conner. The war continued on Thursday when O’Donnell made more comments on the View and went on to post her thoughts on her blog.

“What a fun night of viewing,” O’Donnell said on the air about the TV news coverage of her feud with the star of The Apprentice.

Trump fired back in his own so eloquent way in a segment on ET The Insider:

Trump plans to sue her for questioning his financial situation as she had stated on her blog that Trump had been near bankruptcy in the early 90’s. As you hopefully saw when you watched the video, Trump threatened to have some men woo O’Donnell’s companion, Kelli Carpenter. O’Donnell stated on Fridays “The View” “I brought Kelli here today. I was afraid to leave her at home, in case someone with a comb-over came over and stole her from me.”

I’m beginning to think that Barbara Walters made a big mistake in hiring Rosie for The View. Last week she offended the Chinese and this week she’s gunning for Trump. Who will she set her sights on next week I wonder?

Rosie Apologizes

by Tricia

Rosie O’Donnels the queen of Nice? I don’t know after seeing her performance on the view last week when she mockingly spoken in broken English with a Chinese accent. This week she addressed her attempt at humor and made a formal on camera apology.

After running the clip of her offensive performance last December 5th, she said “This apparently was very offensive to a lot of Asian people. So I asked Judy, who’s Asian and works here in our hair and makeup department. I said, ‘Was it offensive to you?’ And she said, ‘Well, kinda. When I was a kid people did tease me by saying ching-chong.’

“So apparently ‘ching-chong,’ unbeknownst to me, is a very offensive way to make fun, quote-unquote, or mock, Asian accents. Some people have told me it’s as bad as the n-word. I was like, really? I didn’t know that.”

She went on to say that she never intended to hurt anyone with her remarks and that she was sorry for those people we felt hurt, but went on to warn that there was a good chance she might do something like that again in the future – Not on Purpose of course.
