While the producers of The View want Rosie O'Donnell as a co-host of the morning talk fest, they apparently don't want her looking like a bull-dike while doing so. In order to assure that Rosie won't go all "lesbian looking," there is a clause in her contract that says she may not cut her hair.
You may recall there was an uproar toward the end of Rosie’s run as a syndicated talk show host because she chopped off her locks to emulate Culture Club songstress Helen Terry. But ABC apparently wants Rosie to look as glamorous as possible when she sits down on “The View” among Joy Behar, Star Jones, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.And what about that table? O’Donnell tells me she will more than likely not sit at the far left, taking Meredith Vieira’s old chair. When “The View” returns in September from August reruns, the stage will likely be redesigned so Rosie is sitting in the middle.
And that’s what Walters did the minute she knew for certain that Vieira was leaving "The View." It was a smart choice, because O’Donnell’s empathy and sincerity radiate from the television set. At the same time, she doesn’t suffer fools gladly. If nothing else, “The View” will become appointment television, edgy and worth watching—particularly if O’Donnell and Hasselbeck, who has identified herself as right wing—tangle on issues involving gay parenting, adoption, abortion, etc.
Poor little fragile Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She's going to be eaten alive. Will you be watching when Rosie devours the little creature?
Rosie’s Contract: She Can’t Cut Her Hair [FOXNews]
Kris says:
Who cares. The View was polluted long time ago with that icky Star Jones. It's unsaleable to me now in any form including the addition of Rosie who obviously does and says things just for attention.
marjorie says:
I'm truly happy for Rosie. While she did go through a bit of a public meltdown after ending her own TV show, she is a likable person.
I think she'll give that show a whole new VIEWpoint. She's open, honest and will beat
the shit out of that nasty Star Jones (if Star
doesn't get booted first).
Sean says:
One of the co-host is Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Debbie is the one the got fired from the beginning because she talked s**t about Barbara. FOXNews got the names mixed up.
violette33 says:
Hasselbeck's a brainless bimbo. I won't watch Rosie take her out, but I'll be more than happy to read about it.
Girly Girl says:
I hope Rosie literally eats Elizabeth "whiny bitch" Hasselbeck.
And my money is that Rosie will stir up some shit and be outta there within 6 months. That couch just isn't big enough for all of those egos....
TabOOboo_lies says:
I personally don't see a big (no pun intended) difference between Star and Rosie. They're both loudmouthed, over opinionated, and I don't like either of them. In fact, when I did watch the show the only people I DID like was Barbara Walters he was never there & Meredeth Viera who's now gone!
lb says:
Nevermind Elizabeth - Rosie's website
contained a rant against Star Jones
for denying her gastric by-pass surgery
and pretending she leard "self control"
instead. Rosie called her a fatty
that betrayed her fat sisters by not coming
clean on what drastic measures she really
took. Can't wait to see that issue
brought up.
las says:
The only difference between Rosie and Star is that Rosie is married to a gay woman, and Star to a gay man...
d.c. says:
All the view needs is a osbourne, hilton or simpson on the panel and that show will rock.. NOT
missy says:
i might actually watch the view now the next time i'm at home sick. i think it was a good move to add a new demographic.
the difference between rosie and star is rosie actually does a lot to better other peoples lives. she makes up for her not so pretty exterior with her beautiful heart. and she's an entertaining bitch with her own ideas. star on the other hand is just gross in every way.
and as for ms walters, she is only worth watching for 5 minutes in order to make fun of her stupid impediment. other than that, she's a self obsessed moron.
Me says:
Rosie won't last. Period.
chrisase
Rosie O'Donnell??? Snore. How about Rosie Perez? THAT might be interesting.
matt ross says:
Get sharon o , missy elliott , rosie and joy behar that would be a hoot!!!!!!
Jackson says:
I think Joy is the one who will tangle with Rosie - jealous of another comedian getting in her bitchy way.
Dhanni32 says:
I can't stand Rosie O'Donnell...I hope Star bitch slaps her. It's amazing when a strong African-American women doesn't air her personal business in the media..she's called all kinds of names and her marriage is questioned. From one sista to another...Star get off that show, Barbara Walters won't put another woman of color on that show as long she is alive.
KKKK says:
She is so butt ugly, she needs to loose like 110 lbs (that is how much i weigh) eww that is one of me!!! LORD HELP HER!! star looks awsome (asides from the saggy boobs)!!
bestdress says:
Rosie is not educated enough to have a decent argument with Star. Star is way above Rosies level.
I really don't see why Rosie would be on that show. Maybe Rosie and Barbara Walters have a thing going on????
Uhm, Yeah says:
I LOVE Rosie!! KKKK, Nazi freak, how nice of you to mention your weight... no one gives a fuck.
ionca says:
wow, KKK, 110 pounds?
you still sound ugly, though.
congratulations on being skinny AND a waste of carbon!!!
doofus says:
to Dhanni32...
"doesn't air her personal business in the media"?
are we referring to the same Star Jones here? all that woman DOES is air her personal business in the media. she had CORPORATE SPONSORS FOR HER WEDDING.
she talked about her and her big gay man NON STOP FOR MONTHS (on her show, in interviews, etc.)leading up to the wedding. she gets herself in front of the camera and talks about how great her relationship with the gay man is. she WROTE A FREAKIN' BOOK ON HER "PERSONAL BUSINESS"!
so, like her or not, I don't care, but don't try to pretend like she keeps her private life private, because she most certainly does NOT.
cajunmom says:
I hope that show goes off the air soon. If I never see that black bitch Star Jones again it will not be soon enough for me.
J says:
Shut up bitch!
I can't stand either one of them. That show isn't big enough for their egos. I hope they both get kicked off the show.
Trinity says:
C'mon I rather look at Star that have to look at disgusting,frumpy,low class Rosie. I mean her voice is irritating as hell!!!
