Hope this one is true, then i can go back to watching on my days off Rosie Bids Adieu to "The View" Posted Apr 24th 2007 10:35PM by TMZ Staff There is a strong buzz in Hollywood that Rosie O'Donnell will announce Wednesday (April 25) that she is leaving "The View" -- and she'll make the announcement on the show. If it happens, it's likely Rosie will stick it out through the end of the season. TMZ has spoken with multiple industry people who say the word is spreading and the info emanated from inside the show itself. Rosie's rep could not be reached for comment.
yeah, I'm not really one of her fans. I use to think she was OK , but with all that Donald Trump stuff going on, she made a complete DONKEY out of herself. Shes not too classy.
Rosie has gone nuts. The Trump stuff was nothing compared to everything else she has spouted off lately. But, it is so funny to me that she, a practicing lesbian, had the gall to say this about Trump... “There he is, hair looping, going everyone, everyone deserves a second chance,” she began. “He’s the moral authority? Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair, had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for twenty year olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend.” If that isn't that pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. :roll:
That makes sense - a female Andy Kaufman. She's not stupid, and I don't think she's really as crazy as she puts on, but that would explain her behavior on TV. Pat
I used to really enjoy her show, was good for a few laughs, but these days I'm not too fond of her. Kaci, I don't watch The View, (or anything else during the day lol), but I will tune in today to see if this does happen, and I'll let ya know.
Cool, thanks girl. i don't get to see it very often either but it used to be very interesting to listen to different views on issues from the different age women but once Rosie joined it became all about her, no one else got much of a chance to even talk including the guests:lol: It just seemed to me that her "view" was the only one she considered important.
Yep that was an issue within the first minute she was on the show. I don't watch the view but I read the reviews and they weren't pretty...I'm surprised she lasted this long :lol:
Rosie O'Donnell 45 - most likely peri-menopausal Never gets laid - by a man, anyway Too much money - too little couth There's your answer.
Ok, I had The View on, missed the very beginning, but from the way the women were talking, sounds like YES, Rosie IS leaving. Joy made a comment toward Rosie, "we are going to miss you", that's all I have to go on. LOL I'm bad at watching daytime tv unless it's the news, sorry!
i guess it is official:-D (04-25) 07:42 PDT New York (AP) -- Rosie O'Donnell's stormy tenure on "The View" will be a short one. The opinionated host was unable to agree on a contract with ABC, and she'll leave the show in June. "My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me," O'Donnell said in a statement Wednesday. "This has been an amazing experience," she said, "and one I wouldn't have traded for the world." O'Donnell has helped raise the ratings for the daytime chat show invented by Barbara Walters. But her outspokenness has caused almost constant controversy, including a nasty name-calling feud with Donald Trump that placed Walters squarely in the middle. "I induced Rosie to come back to television on `The View' even for just one year," Walters said. "She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year." Walters was frequently left to clean up the damage after O'Donnell. She did it most recently Monday, when O'Donnell was criticized for using bad language and attacking Rupert Murdoch from the dais of the annual New York Women in Communication awards luncheon. "I would like to point out that Rosie's view is not always mine," Walters said. "I would like to say for the record that I am very fond of Rupert Murdoch." In the Trump imbroglio, O'Donnell was reportedly mad that Walters did not come more swiftly to her defense, while Trump said Walters told him she didn't want O'Donnell on the show — a claim Walters denied. Statements by public figures are being watched more closely in the post-Don Imus era. The lobbying group Focus on the Family said it was preparing to contact advertisers on "The View" as part of a campaign against O'Donnell. The group is angry at O'Donnell for comments they feel were insulting to Catholics. Despite controversy — or maybe because of it — O'Donnell was good business for ABC, owned by the Walt Disney Co. Ratings for "The View" during February sweeps were up 15 percent in key women demographics over the same time in 2006. Bill Carroll, an expert in the syndication market for Katz Television, said he'd be surprised if ABC didn't try hard to keep O'Donnell, given the attention she brought to the long-running show. The timing of the announcement doesn't particularly suit O'Donnell if she wants to remain in daytime television. She wouldn't be able to introduce a new program to the syndication market until September 2008, he said. But the company that produced O'Donnell's long-running daytime show has expressed interest in having her back, he said.
