Dreamgirl Soon to Be Available

Hard to believe, but it appears Rosie O'Donnell's "marriage" may be kaput. Can't imagine why. She seems like such the warm, loving type.

Rosie O'Donnell and longtime partner Kelli Carpenter are having "issues."

The 47-year-old actress responded to questions about the status of her five-year marriage in an interview Tuesday with USA Today, saying "We are a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues."

Rumors that the relationship was on the rocks began after O'Donnell posted cryptic messages on her personal blog about the difficulties of marriage and the fact that she wasn't aware Carpenter had a Facebook page until a reader asked her about it.

O'Donnell and Carpenter were married in a non-state-recognized ceremony in San Francisco in 2004 and have three adopted children - Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12 and Blake, 9 - as well as daughter Vivienne, 6, whom Carpenter gave birth to via artificial insemination.

'When I Started to Blog, No One Knew What a Blog Was'

If you consider inane, incoherent, illiterate rants blogging, then bid farewell to blog pioneer Rosie O'Donnell. Can't say for sure when this bloated bag of wind actually started blogging, as her site already redirects elswhere, but I surmise she wasn't exactly in the forefront of the medium.

ROSIE O'Donnell's blog ging days are over.

O'Donnell says she's finished with posting her e.e. cummings-style, lower-case poems and musings on rosie.com - and will re-focus the site on other endeavors, including her Rosie's Broadway Kids organization.

"When I started to blog, no one knew what a blog was," O'Donnell told People.com. "Then it got so commonplace, it was kind of being used on entertainment shows as edited pieces.

"I was like, 'It's not worth it.' It wasn't providing the joy that it used to."

Probably because nobody caress what you have to say.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence when you go to the link that there's a McDonald's ad next to her overstuffed face.

I imagine her next announcement will be she's giving up variety shows to spend more time with her family.

Rosie Live: A 'Ghastly Ego Trip'

Here's a stunner. The Rosie O'Donnell primetime variety show bombed. It must be homophobia. I almost wish I tuned in to savor the awfulness.

If the TV variety format weren't already dead, the ghastly ego trip of NBC's Thanksgiving-eve turkey Rosie Live would surely have killed it. Like the pie Alec Baldwin predictably pushed into Conan O'Brien's face that fell to the floor without sticking, the entire hour landed with a sickening, sad, ill-conceived thud. It felt like an off night at America's Got Talent, bookended by wobbly appearances from Liza Minnelli and Gloria Estefan, each forced to perform with the caterwauling host, Rosie O'Donnell.

The low point? There were so many. I ran to the kitchen to see how our sweet-potato casserole was progressing so I could escape Jane Krakowski's career-low stripper-ish ode to product placement, warbling new lyrics to Gypsy's "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" that listed all the giveaways the live audience would get, everything from a Vudu player to White Castle hamburgers and Crest Whitestrips (probably not a bad idea after gorging on those stomach bombs). But even that was a treat compared to Clay Aiken, arriving in his Spamalot costume, engaging in who-loves-who-more banter with Rosie, coyly dancing around the gay issue. "We're both Gayyy-briel Byrne fans," Rosie sorta joked.

Kathy Griffin bombed in a Nancy Grace-less impersonation. Rosie's opening monologue, larded with fat and boob jokes, stank of mothballs. Dancing boys wore food costumes and children were trotted out every so often in an attempt to make things appear wholesome. Harry Connick Jr., pitching his new Christmas CD in a Santa hat, didn't even get to complete a full number without Rosie intruding. And there were a handful of so-so novelty and musical acts, a la Ed Sullivan. But this wasn't a really big show. It was a really big bomb, an embarrassment and a pathetic eulogy for a form of TV that, like Rosie-the-eternal-fan, I grew up loving and still miss.

No MSNBC Show for Bloated Troofer

They claim it's over money.

Two bucks is too much for this nonentity. Then again, they apparently pay Keith Olbermann to make a idiot out of himself on national television, so one can only wonder what they're sniffing over there.

Contrary to reports, there will be no Rosie O’Donnell show on MSNBC.

According to sources, Rosie and the struggling cable network have ended talks. They apparently could not reach an agreement on money or the length of a contract, with Rosie remaining steadfast in her desire not to commit to more than one year.

And don’t believe that it was because O’Donnell mentioned the negotiations last week in public that MSNBC scotched the deal. In the end, it was about money.

The network couldn’t afford to make a deal for Rosie just based on a nighttime show. It would have to have been tied into something else on daytime. The problem with that? O’Donnell doesn’t want to return to a grueling daytime schedule while her kids are in school.

Ironically, O’Donnell is just what MSNBC needs to pick up its flagging ratings. Her popularity continues to zoom in numbers some six months after she left "The View." On Tuesday night, she sold out Avery Fisher Hall without breaking a sweat.

People pay money to see this trainwreck? Go figure.

And what the heck is grueling about sitting around with a pack of yentas flapping your gums over some idiotic conspiracy theories?

Carrying her immense girth around, now that can be grueling.

Another Crazed Megalomaniac to Join MSNBC?

In some warped minds, this probably makes perfect sense. But I'm not a suit at NBC, so only they could tell you why they'd follow the insane Keith Olbermann with the certifiably nuts Rosie O'Donnell.

Perhaps they think she's still relevant.

Rosie O’Donnell in Talks to Join MSNBC

Rosie O’Donnell, who abruptly left “The View” on ABC last spring after drawing attention and ratings for her opinions on everything from the Iraq war to her co-hosts, is in serious discussions to return to television atop a new soapbox: a prime-time show on the cable news channel MSNBC, according to executives on both sides of the negotiations who have been briefed directly.

Under one scenario, Ms. O’Donnell would be given the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, where she would go head-to-head with two heavyweights of cable talk: “Larry King Live” on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes” on Fox News. Her show would replace “Live with Dan Abrams,” a relatively low-rated program that only recently replaced “Scarborough Country,” which was also little-watched.

But NBC executives, speaking on condition of anonymity because the conversations are continuing, cautioned that there were many elements of a potential deal yet to be resolved. These include when such a show would appear, what Ms. O’Donnell would be paid, and whether she would also be seen on the NBC broadcast network.

Indeed, She Is Crazy

As if we had any doubts about the mental stability of this crackpot. Hey, you have to be nuts to believe that Troofer nonsense she spews.

IN THE MIND OF ROSIE O'DRAMA: BOOK EXPOSES DEEP ROOTS OF A STAR'S RAGE

Ranting Rosie O'Donnell is full of rage, has a profound distrust of men, craves public adoration, shows signs of post-traumatic stress disorder and dishes out her anger mostly to women because of deep-seated abandonment issues over her mother's death, said a psychiatrist after reading her latest memoir, "Celebrity Detox."

Hitting the shelves Oct. 2, the book is a Freudian frolic down memory lane that lays bare O'Donnell's man-hating and mummy-hungry adult ways, while revealing clues to a secret trauma from her troubled Long Island childhood, two shrinks say.

Can't wait for this book tour.

Giuliani Ambushed by Truther

A maniacal moonbat, probably a fan of Rosie O'Donnell or Ron Paul (maybe both) accosted Rudy Giuliani at a fundraiser and quickly got off into Truther territory.

Afterward, a young woman claiming to be the relative of a Sept. 11, 2001, firefighter who died when the towers collapsed, asked Giuliani why he allegedly told Peter Jennings the towers would not fall that day, but did not stop the rescue efforts of firefighters and police officers.

The woman claims Giuliani knew the towers would fall, and allowed rescuers to go to their deaths. She asked him, "How do you sleep at night?"

Video here.

I didn't realize Bellevue let them out on weekends.

When did we get to the point where crazy people are called "activists"?

UPDATE: Allahpundit has a Giuliani roundup; also at LGF, The Jawa Report.

Buffoon O'Donnell Flees The View

She cut and ran, just like the Democrats always want to do.

NEW YORK — Rosie O'Donnell has fought her last fight at "The View."

ABC said Friday she asked for, and received, an early exit from her contract at the daytime chatfest following her angry confrontation with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday. She was due to leave in mid-June.

It ended a colorful eight-month tenure for O'Donnell that lifted the show's ratings but no doubt caused heartburn for show creator Barbara Walters. O'Donnell feuded with Donald Trump and frequently had snippy exchanges with the more conservative Hasselbeck.

O'Donnell said last month she would be leaving because she could not agree to a new contract with ABC executives.

"Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at `The View,'" Walters said. "I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."

O'Donnell Stuck on Stupid

She's come this far with the madness and there's no turning back.

It's just not possible to have an intelligent conversation with someone so thickheaded.

Rosie, Ahmadinejad and Duke

Via The American Thinker.

If this all sounds like the howling of a rabid dog, O'Donnell isn't alone in the kennel. A recent poll from the Scripps Research Center found that more than a third of Americans believe that 9/11 was an "inside job." Those who actively promote the idea, though, are more than mere laughable loons. They bear resemblance to another particularly virulent conspiracy nut -- the Holocaust denier.

It may be coincidence that O'Donnell's 9/11 denial has manifested itself in such close proximity to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's "Holocaust conference" of last December, but she sounds a lot like many of its participants.

Granted, Mahmoud and Duke are probably more intelligent.
