More Fun With Rosie! Now With Baba!

From PAGE SIX:
' January 9, 2007 -- THE tension between "The View" creator Barbara Walters and co-host Rosie O'Donnell, sparked by O'Donnell's feud with Donald Trump, boiled over yesterday morning when the portly comic called Walters "a [bleeping] liar."

The fight started around 8:30 a.m. when Walters, back from a two-week vacation, walked into the hair and makeup room at ABC studios and tried to hug O'Donnell, whom she hired onto the popular show.

According to spies, O'Donnell recoiled from Walters' touch and yelled, "You kept me in the newspapers this whole time!"

Both "View" producer Bill Geddie and Walters tried to calm O'Donnell. Walters told her, "I did everything I could to squash the story" - prompting Rosie to scream, "You didn't call me for 10 goddamn days, and you didn't tell me what you were going to say on television!"

O'Donnell is fuming because Trump went on Larry King two weeks ago - after she had called Trump a "snake-oil salesman" - and said Walters told him she regretted hiring O'Donnell. Trump also blasted the comic as "a horrible human being and a loser."

During her vacation, Walters issued a carefully worded statement saying, "I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of 'The View.' "

After O'Donnell's outburst at Walters yesterday, Geddie jumped in and told her, "You've crossed the line." O'Donnell retorted, "Cameras are now outside of my house where my wife and kids are." She turned to Walters and said, "You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, 'Donald is lying.' You never called him a liar."

When Walters tried to defend herself, O'Donnell erupted, "Are you looking me in the face and denying you didn't tell him you didn't say this? You're a [bleeping] liar."

Cindi Berger, a rep for both Walters and O'Donnell said, "Whatever happened in the hair and makeup room was hardly a squabble. It's business as usual, everyone has moved on." '


Sure sounds like business as usual at the View! This is better than Springer! I vote they hire Star back and lock her Rosie, Baba Wawa, Trump, and Tara Conner in a room together. With cameras of course. Hell, throw in Elizabeth Hasselbeck too.


Speaking of Rosie and Donald, as promised, here are some pictures from last night's RAW. As predicted, they used celebrity impersonators. "Rosie" looked and sounded a lot like her, "Donald" not so much. But you know it sucked when the best character was Fudgy the Whale. It could have been funny, but was really lame. You can watch it here.

Rosie eating Fudgy.
Really, couldn't they have thought of something other than the obvious fat jokes?
Maybe Donald Trump wrote the skit.

Cool wind effect on the hair though.

Donald wins after nailing Rosie in the face with Fudgy.

Oops, how'd that get there? Edge still puts the hurt on my penis (it's gonna catch on, you wait!), even with a tore-up face!

Ok, ok, I promise, no more wrestling posts for a while.
