AND THEN, Barbara complained about a barricade because of a Bush visit to New York.

She obviously has a memory problem since she did not then mention THE BARRICADES and LONG WAITS when Clinton went trolling thru NYC!

She going to have her own show, it's going to be hot and topical! Where Rosie hits the hard news of the day! Fast fast fast! Rosie will be responding to breaking new just like she did on The View but even faster! The title of her new show is: "ROSIE! - Licket-D-Split!"

Whooo! Picking myself up off the floor after that post...laughing my butt off!

For this reason, we urge viewers to let the networks know about their concerns and not to watch programs they find objectionable.

Nice response from Chlorox, saying it's as much the viewer's responsibility as the advertisers.

I can’t get quite psyched up enough to put in the effort. The only time I’ve seen The View is on FOX News. That said, her act at the communications banquet was completely out of line, considering the young kids who attended. If I was a parent of any of them, I’d be screaming.

Oh joyous day!!! I bet the other women are happy. I hope she doesn’t get another job where she has free rein like she did on the view.

Pulled this out of TVWeek Daily Mel’s Diner couple weeks ago..so there was indication of her leaving.
http://blogs.tvweek.com/?cat=14
http://blogs.tvweek.com/mels-diner/mels-diner-hilary-estey-mcloughlin/03.08.2007.html

The Dish: Mark my words.
Rosie O’Donnell will be back with a single-host talk show in all of her more-candid-than-ever glory.

Who: Hilary Estey McLoughlin, president, Telepictures Productions
When: Tuesday, March 7, lunch
Where: Sushi Katsu-Ya, Studio City

The Dish: Mark my words. Rosie O’Donnell will be back with a single-host talk show in all of her more-candid-than-ever glory.

And for my money, Warner Bros. will be involved.

I had lunch on Tuesday with Hilary Estey McLoughlin, president of Telepictures Productions, the Warner Bros. division that produced Rosie’s former blockbuster chat fest (which, by the way, Hilary executive produced).

No, Hilary did not slip me a peek at some top secret pact under a Katsu-Ya menu. (Of course, the menu there is on a dry erase board.)

Yes, Hilary said all the things she should have, considering Rosie’s signature is on a contract giving ABC first crack at whatever the comedienne might leave “The View” to do. “A lot of companies are interested” and “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Hilary told me.

But she spoke volumes by explaining how she sees her longtime friend Rosie, both personally and professionally. As well as what makes a successful talk show.

Rosie is “big on e-mail” and “a good soul,” Hilary told me. “I wonder why people never see that.”

Rosie is one of the most charitable celebs around, having given something like $50 million away, Hilary said.

I asked Hilary flat out whether a solo talk show would work with Rosie today, given her penchant for sharing her often controversial thoughts as readily and openly as she does on “The View.”

“Yes,” Hilary said without hesitation. “Even if you don’t agree with her, she compels you to listen to her.”

Hilary believes that a host has to be authentic for a talk show to work, and you can’t get much more candid than Rosie, circa today.

There’s a history, an understanding and a track record between Rosie and Hilary that seems to point to them ultimately collaborating again. Call it a hunch.

They even sound alike.

“People say that,” Hilary said. “She’s Long Island, I’m Queens.”

Clearly they’re tight. And that’s to be expected when people work together on long-running daily talk shows.

Hilary, a 21-year veteran of Warners, has produced many talk shows. Telepictures currently is home to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “The Tyra Banks Show.” Hilary speaks highly of Ellen and Tyra too.

For someone known to be dedicated and serious about her work, Hilary was far more chilled out and downright funny over sushi than I expected. She busts her butt, but has a sense of humor about it.

“My daughter calls my BlackBerry my ‘toxic waste of time,’” she said while talking about how tempting it is to use the device while driving.

This week one of the things she’s juggling is finding a home for the TMZ operation.

She has her eye on space along Sunset Boulevard that might accommodate both the celeb news Web site and the syndicated television show based on it that’s due to launch this fall.

The TV show will not be shot in a studio but rather smack dab in the middle of the newsroom, Hilary told me.

TMZ creator Harvey Levin will have an on-air presence along with a number of personalities, all of whom will have strong POVs, serving as hosts.

“It’s not going to be a traditional, ‘Extra’ or ‘Access Hollywood’ two-host format,” she said.

The idea is to capture the sense of urgency and immediacy associated with TMZ.com, famous for breaking the Mel Gibson’s DUI tirade.

“It’s fast and furious and unfiltered,” she said. “TMZ is not sugar-coated. That’s why people like it.”

Dined On: The Katsu-Ya in Studio City

CUT
However, Ironic that TMZ may be courting Rosie.

When Did Rosie Know She Was Leaving?
Deal in Place?...Fox11 reports..TMZ...Her buddy Hillary McLoughlin.

She says she will finish this season, which I’m sure she will be totally out of control for, with long monologues about impeachment.

I always thought she achieved her fame on Star-Search, not because she was funny, but out of sympathy because she appeared to have Down Syndrome.
