The controversial former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell who always has something to say, last night during her opening act at New York’s Comedy Festival talked about a number of things including a possible new TV project. Here are some of the highlights:

Rosie on her TV future:

“You know I did a TV show last year. And we’re not gonna talk about it. It’s over! It’s over! It’s a new year, a new beginning. I’m talking to an unidentified network, and I was told I’m not allowed to mention this. You don’t tell me what I’m not allowed to say because I can’t help but say it. So when they said to me, ‘Don’t mention it,’ ” she paused, “No, I can’t. Men in suits called people I know and yelled. There’s nothing scarier than men in suits.”

Rosie on the internet:

“I remember when I started my show and I said we needed to get online. ‘What do you mean “get online”?’ said the guy from Time Warner. Yeah … a little foreboding.”

Rosie on money:

“If you have $100 million, and you want $100 million more, I think you’re wasting your life.”

Rosie on parenting:

“Our oldest boy is 12, and Kelli is much better at discipline.” When her son struggled with an algebra problem, “I said to him, ‘Honey, there is no way to solve these problems. Your teacher is playing a joke on you.’ ”

Rosie on religion:

“I always wanted to be a Jew. Five years ago (with Madonna’s guidance), I started studying Kabbalah. At first I thought it was a cult — what the hell is this? What’s the red string? Turns out that string is $32. And I gotta tell you, as a Jew, I was offended.”

I think that we will be seeing Rosie O’Donnell return to TV real soon love muffins. Thoughts?
