Rosie Will Probably Leave 'The View'
Rosie O'Donnell — quite rightly, I believe — has had enough of Barbara Walters and "The View." I am told that she is not likely to renew her one-year contract when it ends in June and will leave the crazy talk show after boosting its ratings higher than ever.
Sources say that Rosie feels that the backstage antics at "The View" "are completely dysfunctional." O'Donnell, who's got plenty of money and lots of outside interests, simply doesn't need to be there. I am told that her contract was for "one school year" and that ends in June.
But ABC might feel differently, given that O'Donnell has made "The View" bigger than ever. It's conceivable that the network brass will prevail — either buying out or retiring Walters and convincing O'Donnell to stay as the show's moderator.
Ironically, oddsmakers would have guessed that Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Rosie's political and ideological opposite, would have been the one to cause O'Donnell the most pain at the show. But it turns out that Walters, the woman who chose O'Donnell for the job in the first place, surfaced as her backstage enemy.
The tension between Walters and O'Donnell surfaced yesterday, first when Page Six reported that the pair had a fight about the Donald Trump-Miss USA saga just before the show went on air Monday morning.
Then later yesterday, a letter from Trump to Rosie was leaked, in which Trump told O'Donnell that Walters, essentially, had betrayed her to Trump and acted disloyally.

That lasted longer than Larry Brown did with the Knicks.
NOOOOOOOOO! How can I go on?? I might as well end it all here and now!!!!!
Which is the nice way of saying, "You're fired".
You can't fire me... I QUIT!!!
I dunno, JimRob better call the taxidermist. That's gonna be one heck of a big head to stuff and mount on the wall...
"I am told that she is not likely to renew her one-year contract when it ends in June and will leave the crazy talk show after boosting its ratings higher than ever."
Well there WAS a lot of crazy talk on The Shrew.
I'll get the popcorn.....err....Donuts.
Stick an apple in her mouth and turn the spit.
Oh, Rosie - oh, girl
Oh, Rosie - oh, girl
Steal away now - steal away
Steal away, baby - steal away
Little (appropriate lesbo name here) wants to come and play
Why don't you come with me baby?
Steal away - all right - all right
GOOD! I tried to watch yesterday and she just dogs conservatives every chance she gets. Elizabeth did a good job of standing up for us. But I finally had to flip it off, Rosie is always mad at someone, The Donald, is just her latest hate fest. She is trying to blame Donald for hating fat people. It will not work Rosie!!!! Just go away to the land of fruits and nuts.
No one will hear about the view again. Rosie kept it in the news for so long. Good riddance.
I'm no fan of either of them, but there is an implication here that Barbara is the cause of the problem, and I think that's laughable. Walters got where she is by being smooth and diplomatic and getting along with an incredibly broad array of people. Rosie, on the other hand, is a loud-mouthed, abrasive bull dyke.
But, hey, Rosie has -- quite rightly -- had enough of Barbara!! [/s]
BWUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA...!!! Hello pot! Meet Mz. Kettle! What an utterly complete fool!
bttt
That ought to be the other way around.
...Sources say that Rosie feels that the backstage antics at "The View" "are completely dysfunctional."
And whose fault is that?
No, I Can't believe it??? LMAO!
Not gonna happen. BaBa WaWa is like Mike Wallace - not going anywhere until the mortician wheels him away.
