Rosie O'Donnell Changes Her 'View,' Plans Rock Tour With Cyndi Lauper

Rosie Plans Rock Tour With Lauper
Just because Rosie O’Donnell isn’t on "The View" this morning, don’t think she’s just going away.
Rosie is about to go on a rock tour. She’s joining pal Cyndi Lauper on a series of dates beginning next week. The pair have been friends for a while, and Rosie has even considered producing rock icon Cyndi’s show for Broadway.
Last week, Rosie even put up video montage on her blogsite to the recording of Lauper’s “Sisters of Avalon.”
The dates on the Lauper tour were always planned, but once Rosie knew she was leaving "The View," she added some more.
As for O’Donnell’s departure from "The View," those close to her say she knew the party was over last Wednesday, the day ABC did a split screen between her and Elisabeth Hasselbeck as their on-air fight raged without commercials.
Rosie even says in a new video on her blog that she knew that was the moment she was finished. “It turned into 'The Jerry Springer Show,'” says a friend on the video with her.
In fact, the crazy stuff that happened on "The View" on Wednesday — a wild interrupted fight between Rosie and Elisabeth — could easily have been stopped if the show’s director had simply gone to commercial. But it didn’t happen, and as shown in YouTube clips, the situation quickly got out of hand.
Rosie, insiders say, blames Barbara Walters’ producer Bill Geddie for not halting the action. Sources refer to Walters as Geddie’s “hand puppet.” When things got tense last week, insiders say Geddie went into Walters’ office “and filled her head with stuff from tabloid TV.”

Girls just want to have fun!
Great, now I have to throw my Cyndi Lauper cd out.
I think its going to be changed to “Girls just Want a Big Wrinkly Bun”
What izzit with Cyndi Lauper and fat ugly people?........
From Wikipedia:
“Lauper will be headlining the True Colors Tour 2007 for Human Rights through the United States in June 2007; other acts include Deborah Harry, Erasure, Dresden Dolls and Gossip, with Margaret Cho as MC. The tour, sponsored by Logo, the MTV Networks channel targeting gay audiences, will provide information to fans who attend, as well as purple wristbands with the slogan “Erase Hate” from the Matthew Shepard foundation, named for a gay youth killed in a hate crime. A dollar from every ticket sold will be earmarked for the Human Rights Campaign, which advocates equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people.”
LOL. Great “pic.”
More like, Geddie had the prior OK to let any such situation run it's course, giving ammunition to Walters. In any event, good riddance to trash.
Heh-heh....Rosie’s the new Captain Lou Albano!
Cindy Sheehan is looking for a new gig, I hear...
and now we know why Lauper’s career died with a thud.
I thought lauper had married her producer and was popping out babies.
now she turns up with teh burned out hippie tour.
she bop
Lauper is a Subaru driver also??

LOL! Jerry Springer had all kinds of freakazoids on his show, too!
Lauper is a freak. Rosie is a freak. They should have a good time together if Rosie’s freak wife doesnt get in the way.
Once there was a movie. Its a mad, mad ,mad, mad, world.
Its time for Rosie and Lauper and George Clooney and Babs Streisand and a few more freaks to make another movie.
“Its a Weird,weird,weird ,Freak World.”
Is Rosie going to sing on the tour? (She can’t carry a tune.)
Is she going to do comedy? (She hasn’t been funny since long before she announced that she was “funny”.)
I guess she’s just going to stand on the stage and spew her goofy ideas and hatred. (Sounds like a real crowd-pleaser.)
That tour wil never happen: cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. Margaret Cho and Roise O? Aaack!
