Forget the stage, they would quadruple their ratings if they turned the cameras on the backstage action.

Feud update: Donald tells Rosie that Barbara 'lied to both of us'

DAVID BAUDER
Published Tuesday January 9th, 2007


NEW YORK (AP) - Donald Trump's feud with Rosie O'Donnell is a gift that keeps on giving for gossip columnists.

The developer sent a letter to O'Donnell on Tuesday, distributed by the TV show "The Insider," saying Barbara Walters told him in a private conversation that working with O'Donnell is "like living in hell."

Trump said Walters called him while on vacation trying to end the feud by apologizing for O'Donnell's behaviour. She supposedly told him "Donald, never get in the mud with pigs" and "don't worry, she won't be here for long," according to the letter.

He also said he ran into Walters at Le Cirque two months ago and asked how O'Donnell was doing, and Walters said, "Donald, do you have to ruin my meal?"

On her daytime chat show last week, Walters said she had never told Trump she didn't want O'Donnell on the show, as he has claimed. "Nothing could be further from the truth," she said.

Walters, he said in the letter to O'Donnell on Tuesday, "lied to both of us."

The New York Post gossip column Page Six claimed that O'Donnell angrily confronted Walters backstage at "The View" on Monday. She called Walters a liar, too, adding an expletive, the newspaper said. O'Donnell was reportedly angry that Walters didn't call Trump a liar. The newspaper sourced its story about the confrontation by saying "according to spies."

Besides keeping "The View" constantly in the news, O'Donnell has substantially increased the show's ratings this season. Trump appeared to get no lift from the feud in the ratings when the latest season of "The Apprentice" started Sunday. The program's ratings fell short of those from last spring's season premiere.

Does anyone remember how this feud began? Oh, yes: when O'Donnell said Trump had no right "to be the moral compass for 20-year-olds" as he decided whether Miss USA would keep her crown. He owns the pageant.

Another woman caught in the middle - spokeswoman Cindi Berger, who represents both Walters and O'Donnell - said neither had any comment but cryptically suggested viewers tune in to "The View" on Wednesday.

The only surprise is that it took longer than one show to fire the fat loud mouthed dyke.

The clasic comment from the Don when asked about donuts displesure of his keeping the woman on, "I bet rosie would like to kiss HER goodnight".

It's no wonder...on the clips we've seen of late, that ham is always talking and always demanding to be center-camera.

Like it or not .. But The View's ratings are up because of Rosie and not because of Barbara

It's not the absolute number of viewers that matter to advertisers, but the demographic. OK, so Rosie is heavily watched by the bull-dyke demographic. Is that what advertisers want?

He must be willing to write off his friendship with Walters as the price of victory

Unless, in reality he is helping Walters dump Rosie.

"It's just plain astonishing how she has managed to kill three incredible gigs -- her own talk show, her own magazine, and her cushy spot on "The View" -- by her goofy, erratic behavior. She's a typical baby-boomer Lib -- she'll never get a clue that it's her fault."

And, along with Ellen Degeneris, she'll be given yet another incredible gig just as soon as the dust settles.

Ideology trumps good sense in programming.

(I can give a pass to the blond in men in Trees, she just seemed like a wannabe in the first place.)

Don't let the door hit you in the behind on your way out, Rosie.

Yep. 'The View' wants to keep it's lock on plump 30 - 60 year-old heterosexual women with an IQ range of 70 - 95.

At least Ellen Degeneris' show was funny until it became the "I'm Ellen the Lesbo" show. Seems like she has gotten over her coming out. What I am saying is that she can actually be a funny comediane which I don't think Rosie can be, even without the gay identity.

What statement is that? Hannity read Walter's definitively neutral statement, AND a letter from Trump to Rosie that basically recounted everything Barbara said to him when Barbara called him from her vacation TO APOLOGISE for Rosie.

From the NY Sun's article, Rosie completely flipped out on Babs for not contacting her at all during that same vacation, and for not "squelching it" in the media. Rosie's F-words were fast & furious. Not a smart thing at all, but then again Rosie is emotionally unstable.

Then BaBa said on "The View" that everything Trump had said was a lie. At least that was the clip I saw on some entertainment show today.

The one on The View program where Barbara said Trump's claims were false.
