For absolutely no reason, Rosie O’Donnell started feud with Paula Abdul on the The View today by insinuating that Paula is a drunk. She said, “Paula was very thirsty last night. Did anyone notice? Every shot that woman was sipping the Coca-Cola (wink wink) in her cup. And towards the end of the show one eye was wondering. There you go…celebrity feud number 12. Line them up ladies and gentlemen!” I know all the beef is helping The View get ratings but this is a bit much. Rosie should pick on someone her own size! (That only leaves Gorillas, Elephants, and Bigfoot)

Rosie proved she was a round-the-way-girl and spit a hot rhyme to Mr. Sexual Chocolate himself, LL Cool J. Between Rosie O’Donnell rapping and Kelly Ripa doing the chicken noodle soup dance I’m not sure what’s going on. These chicks must be gearing up for Black History Month.

After reading about Walters-O’Donnell spat (see the post below) he sent this letter to Rosie. ET got a hold of the letter and it’s pretty bad…

“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!”

WOW!!!

They seemed pretty chummy on The View yesterday but apparently there was an all-out screaming match that took place seconds before they went on screen. Cindy Adams from the New York Post Page Six reports that O’Donnell blew up at Walter for not coming to her defense soon enough and allowing Donald Trump’s statements to get so much airtime. O’Donnell is quoted as saying,

“You didn’t call me for 10 goddamn days, and you didn’t tell me what you were going to say on television! You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, ‘Donald is lying.’ You never called him a liar.”

They also report that executive producer Bill Geddie had to calm Rosie down and tell her she had crossed the line. Of course, Cindy Berger, the publicist for both Rosie and Barbara, is denying the reports of a squabble and says it was “business as usual”. It remains to be seen how all of this will play out but since Rosie’s contract is only for a year, I can’t see why either party would want to continue this kind of working relationship despite the huge jump in viewers. We’ll just have to wait and see.

While Donald Trump was mum about the celeb-feud on Live with Regis and Kelly, Rosie O’Donnell couldn’t resist commenting on Trump’s remarks. She started off her first day back on The View on a light note but eventually she let her true feelings be known. She opened up by saying, “Boy, did I hit a nerve with that guy…He just doesn’t stop. He’s like the Eveready comb-over bunny.” She also joked, “He’s obsessed with me, obviously…it’s the way I look, he can’t resist.” Then she got serious.

She said, “I love it when people say you’re fat like you don’t know. It’s always the first comment of someone who doesn’t agree with you if you happen to be on the plus side…as if I don’t own a mirror. He wounded millions of women by saying I was fat.” She went on to say that while she was not personally not offended by Trump’s comments, her children were disturbed by his rants. She ended the discussion by saying that the topic was “over and done” and would not be mentioned again. We’ll see if that last.

I don’t really like Trump and did not feel Rosie’s comments were that off-base, but if you can’t take it then you shouldn’t dish it out.

As it turns out, Rosie’s mouth has been getting her into trouble long before The View. Allison Samuels from Newsweek is now confessing that in a past interview with the Grammy-winning diva, Houston referred to O’Donnell as a “fat bitch” for eluding the idea that she had a drug problem. At that time Newsweek editors decided not to include the quote in fear that it would cause too many problems. Well, ever since Donald Trump gave Rosie a verbal lashing calling her a “fat loser” and “disgusting”, I guess it’s free reign to air all of the past quotes on Rosie.

Even though Rosie was ultimately correct about her comments, maybe Rosie will learn a tough lesson that sometimes its not always good to speak your mind. Sometimes a filter between the brain and the mouth is a very good thing.
