Rosie O'Donnell: CBS Rejected Attempts to 'Gay Up' Game Show (The Price is Right)
National Ledger & TV Guide ^ | 7/23/7 Issue | Jennifer Cox

Taking away her seat on "The view" can't shut up Rosie O'Donnell, as she loves the attention way too much.

She s again trying to push up the banter and hyperbole and now claims that CBS rejected her because she wanted to take "The Price is Right" and turn it gay.

TV Guide has a report that despite earlier assertions on her blog, that she turned down hosting The Price is Right because she refused to uproot her family from New York City to Los Angeles, O’Donnell has again changed her mind.

Rosie O'Donnell Says CBS Rejected Her Attempts to "Gay Up" Game Show

She tries the woes is me angle again. She says, "In the end, they turned me down because CBS thought I was too controversial.

Which wouldn’t have been the case — I just wanted to ‘gay it up.’ I wasn’t going to give away a TV set and rant, 'So you can watch George Bush and Dick Cheney lie to America on it!'"

***

More: What did O’Donnell propose? For starters, she wanted to eliminate Bob Barker’s beauties in favour of Broadway chorus men, confetti, musical bumpers and a much-needed set makeover.

O’Donnell says she's disappointed because she began watching the multiple Emmy-winning game show shortly after her mother died 35 years ago, so to replace [retired host Bob Barker] “would have meant a lot to me.”

Can the last one out on this train wreck please turn out the lights?

"The Price is Right" and turn it gay.

"And now gentlemen, please guess the prices of the following items; Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits, a wedge of Brie Cheese, two tickets to Hairspray and a tube of KY Jelly."

CBS must have figured that since they have Katie locked up for the next 4 years, one loser was enough.
