Rosie O’Donnell’s reported deal with MSNBC is over-and the larger-than-life comedienne has her on mouth to thank for that. According to a cryptic post on Rosie’s blog the deal is dead because she let the news “slip in [M]iami” it caused “panic on the studio end.” Read the rest of this entry »

In case you missed it-Rosie O’Donnell took the first segment of “The View” as an opportunity to stick it to frequent media appearances of Anna Nicole Smith this week….just two hours before the B-movie actress and American sex symbol collapsed and died in Florida. Read the rest of this entry »
Seeds of Peace, an organization that brings young Israelis and Palestinians together, is trying to get Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump to set aside their differences and appear together at its March 22 gala at The Waterfront, according to celeb snitchs. A rep said, “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
Rosie spent the first two segments of The View blasting American Idol for the second day in a row.
“Isn’t that what America thinks is entertainment?” she asked. (Yep!) “To make fun of someone’s physical appearance and then when they leave the room laugh hysterically at them – three millionaires, one probably intoxicated,” she said about Paula Abdul and her…peculiar pre-Idol behavior. The whole thing, it’s terribly sad to me,” she added.
Well, you know what’s sad to us? These simpletons who are under the psychotic misconception that they can sing.
Rosie spent the first minutes of “The View” sounding off on the last night’s debut episode of American Idol. And the comedienne was particularly “chatty” on Paula and the possibility of just what was in her now infamous red cup.
“Paula was very thirsty last night, did anyone else notice? [In] every shot, that woman was sipping the Coca-Cola in her cup … and towards the end of the show, one eye was wandering…”
In the midst of the escalating feud between business mogul Donald Trump and comedian Rosie O’Donell, both parties have had their own allies speak out for them. Recently, though, Rosie O’Donell gained an additional ally when her close friend Madonna joined in making public statements regarding the exchange of words. On America’s Today show, Madonna said that “people are giving Rosie a hard time. I wish they’d stop. I don’t think it’s fair.”
She went on to say that “Basically, I mean, she’s a stand-up comic. I think all stand-up comics talk about provocative things in their monologues before shows, and I think that’s a commonplace thing.” I would say that’s a point well taken. Comedians do say stuff about people to make fun of them. I guess Donald Trump is just not too happy about what was said. What effect Madonna’s statements will have on the “fight” between Rosie and Trump, I do not really know. Maybe her fans will rally to Rosie’s side. Yet, does it really matter? Like most issues in Hollywood, I think this one will die down soon enough. In the meantime, it’s publicity for all parties involved.
Madonna is currently promoting the movie Arthur and the Invisibles wherein she plays the character of Princess Selenia. Despite the seriousness of her friend’s situation, Madonna was quite lighthearted during her interview, saying that being a princess is new for her as she is usually seen as a queen – jokingly of course.
Last question: who will come out next to voice out their support for either Rosie or Trump?
Donald Trump may think he rules New York – and apparently the media and perhaps the entire free world – but if pop culture ever had an equivalent big name, big ego, and big powerhouse, it’s Madonna. And Madonna is speaking up on Rosie’s behalf.
It’s not like Madge has ever been shy or backed away from a scandal, so it’s no surprise that she’s ready to defend her friend.
Although she only heard about the Trump-O’Donnell feud while out in the middle of the Indian Ocean, she e-mailed her longtime friend to discuss it. Then she stated, “I have a feeling that if every stand-up comic was penalized for saying politically incorrect things or provocative things, I think they’d all be hung in the public square.”
Good point. The real question though, is not whether Donald is right or whether Rosie is right. By this point the real question is why do any of us still care?
