Rosie Drops Some Pre-"View" Details

Posted Aug 30th 2006 11:10AM by TMZ Staff

Just days before her debut on "The View," Rosie O'Donnell is dropping some details about her new gig on her ever-active blog at rosie.com. Among other things, we learn that she's taking Meredith Vieira's dressing room, that ABC is already prepping her for what she can and cannot say, and what her take on the whole did-Meredith-really-say-that fracas is.

In her latest blog entries, expressed in her customary haiku-ish shorthand, Rosie says that she recently met with the network's standards-and-practices people, the folks who make sure nothing untoward comes out of her -- and or any of the other "View"-ers' -- mouths. According to Rosie, "They told me all the stuff I know/still made me panic/a little." She adds that she's only cursed once in six years on live TV.

Then, in response to a question from a fan, who asked her why Meredith Vieira would "diss" her former show and Barbara Walters (which, it turns out, she didn't), Rosie clears it up: "She did not diss barbara/everybody breathe." Finally, Rosie reveals that she won't run the risk of absorbing of any of Star Jones' bad karma, as she'll be putting up shop in Meredith's old dressing room at "The View."

6. I will NEVER watch The View now that Rosie "Big Fat Cow" O'Donnell is on it. I will NEVER support anything that big fata$$ she-man does. I'm opposite everything she stands for. Fata$$ blob.

8. Rosie I hope you get everything Good and Bad that you put out. As far as the View May success be as brief and bitter sweet for you and Barbara as you tried to make it for the other cohost that's gone. May bless you but allow you two to see how far hurting and back stabbling will get you.

10. Barbara wanted a pot-bellied pig for a pet. Instead she get's Rosie a full grown hog with an worst attitude than the real animal.

11. Attention Rosie's detractors: She's really not all that bad. She's just a big slob who manages to be boring on occaasion.

12. I can't stand that big ole fat cow. Can you imagine her being your girlfriend - just thinking about it grosses me out.

13. Uhh, she seems like she should be medicated. I wonder if she still loves Tom Cruise?

14. Why is everyone so concerned about Rosie's weight - what does that have to do with co-hosting a tv show - why does that offend so many people! She will do GREAT!

15. The level of 'tardation in this comments section is almost too much to handle. Perhaps a little reading and practice at grammatics instead of trolling celebrity-watch sites, people. I am embarrassed on behalf of all of you.
And 'openminded', how in the world did you come up with that name? Your comment makes you come off as narrow-minded and veerrrryy bitter. Bring it down just a notch, sweetie. You have no real ties to these people, so what do you care?
Honestly, I don't care about Rosie O'Donnell one way or the other. The View has never lived up to it's title, so that's pretty irrelevant as well. But you have provided me an immense amount of comedy on my lunch break/internet roaming time today!!! Many thanks!
