Gruner & Jahr, the New York-based German publisher, has rejected Rosie O'Donnell's offer to settle their bitter legal battle.

You'll remember that last year O'Donnell pulled the plug on her magazine when the publisher seized editorial control from her.

According to my sources, a recent deposition of Axel Ganz, the head of G&J, was so potentially damaging to the publisher that O'Donnell sent him an olive branch.

In her e-mail to Ganz, O'Donnell offered a settlement "on these terms: Pay my legal fees (about $4 million), take the $6 million I invested in our magazine and donate it to a charity we agree on like the public school system in Manhattan or the NYC fire department."

My response: "Go to hell, you blubbery carpet-munching pig!"

If any of this is true (big if), it sounds as if Rosie has the upper hand.

LOL - If Thornsie had the better case, then why'd she offer to settle then?

Man I'm so glad she's off the fricking TV air, spouting her liberal venom.

Interesting how she now publicly and loudly rejects the title of "The Queen of Nice."
Makes everyone who supported her during that time look like fools.

I don't blame them. Who wants to buy that tub a lifetime's supply of Duracells?

I am personally against anyhting and everything this "woman" stands for. She is a scurge on the planet, and especially the United States.

A frayed extension cord would be cheaper and her horipilation more intense.
