The Bitch is gone, the bitch is gone...teeheeheeheeheeheehee

No I think he's quite the fan.

 

Actually, he has Rosie penis envy

 

Hasselback is just the same.

 

The saddest part of this story: AP decided that it merited a news alert.

 

You guys leave Yawn alone. He's a big fan of The View, obviously, and this is important news.

 

She is explaining her exit...Barbara says she is sad. Can't see if her fingers are crossed behind her back. She says she did not participate in the negotiations to bring Rosie back, so not her fault.

Everyone seems very warm and fuzzy.

 

MSNBC decided to make this "breaking news" as well, which means the Fox News Alert (with confetti) isn't too far along.

 

Why does anyone care?

 

based on the subject line I thought something happened where spup worked and she was celebrating... then I realized she didn't start the thread.

 

Maybe it's because I know that a headline is supposed to tell you what a story is about, but I've always hated subject headers that really don't tell you what the thread is about.

 

I stopped watching "The View" when I found myself nauseated by Star's never-ending name-dropping on her best friends and such, and the desire to watch again didn't come back at all when O'Donnell was named a co-host.

I'm sure money is the driving factor here, but this may have been the nail in the coffin...

ROSIE GROSSES OUT MEDIA ELITE

April 24, 2007 -- ROSIE O'Donnell's blue humor made faces red when she emceed the Matrix Awards in front of 2,000 feting New York's most accomplished women in media at the Waldorf-Astoria Grand Ballroom yesterday.

The loose-lipped lesbian dropped the F-bomb as Barbara Walters lowered her head on the dais and covered her face with her hand. O'Donnell concluded a rant about Donald Trump by grabbing her crotch and shouting, "Eat me!"

O'Donnell also said she was sad when Trump called her "disgusting" and "fat" because, "it was always my dream to give an old, bald billionaire a boner."

The annual luncheon of N.Y. Women in Communications - which honored Cindy Adams, Meredith Vieira, Joan Didion, Susan Lyne, Arianna Huffington and Lisa Caputo, among others - featured as presenters News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, Joy Behar, Nora Ephron, Martha Stewart and Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Also on hand were 17 sweet-faced high school girls who won scholarships to pursue their dreams of careers in media.

"I was offended by how vulgar and common O'Donnell was," said Robert Zimmerman, a Democrat active in progressive causes. "It was especially inappropriate with young people present."

Brandon Holley, editor-in-chief of Jane magazine, said, "I wasn't personally offended, but I thought it was fun to watch other people be offended."

"I cringed and dove under the table when she said, 'Eat me,' " said one woman attendee who declined to be identified.

Among those in the crowd were Judith Giuliani, her predecessor Donna Hanover, Judge Judy Sheindlin, Helen Gurley Brown, Sue Simmons, Geri Laybourne of Oxygen Media, Jane Friedman of HarperCollins, and Hearst president Cathie Black.

O'Donnell's publicist, Cindi Berger, told us: "When you ask for Rosie, you know what you're getting. She's not a shrinking violet. She's a stand-up comedienne. She says things that are provocative."

N.Y. Women in Communications was evidently happy with O'Donnell. The group's managing director, Beth Ellen Keyes, sent an e-mail to her handlers saying, "Rosie was fabulous. Please let Rosie know how much we appreciated her being there. She was just great."

 

No excuse for the AP there. They should know better than that.
