Rosie Drops Some Pre-"View" Details

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."

61. I will not watch the View again. Babs what in the world were you thinking. AHHHH I get it ,you weren't. She is obnoxious, over bearing about everything, and has a BIG MOUTH.
Bye Bye, View

64. I only have to say one thing about the people that left those comments; Thats why there is so many problems in this world today, haters like you! There is nothing wrong with Rosie on or off the View. She is heavy so what, she is funny and she will make this show worth watching. I don't think anyone should be worried about her sexuality either, what does that have to do with anything? Rosie is a great person that doesn't leave things unsaid. What if Oprah was a lesbian? Would the whole world fall apart? Good luck Rosie, I know you will be great!! Good luck to the rest of the group also.

65. I just think Rosie is not a good fit for the View. I personally will not watch the show.I think that what Barbara did was pretty low. If she wanted to get rid of Starr there was a more professional way to go about it.

67. Please people don't insult the pigs and cows, by putting them in the same category as Rosie O'Donnell. I no longer watch The View..... I don't really care for their views much. I sure don't care for Rosie's views at all......... Sassy

68. The fact that Rosie felt compelled to "OUT" Star really bothers me. As a lesbian, she should have been much more aware of her actions. It's not ALL about her! I may watch

69.
Just Like #1 says
1. Go Rosie, Go Rosie, Go Rosie

I Love Rosie too. And she's honest --and that's what keeps friends, families, together. I remember a tune " ...just rollin' along and singing a song, we'll be
toge-e-ther". THAT's LIFE.
I know this quality of hers will rub off on many of the VIEWers.

She's going to be the star of that talk show __ HEY SHE ALREADY IS A STAR!

Go Rosie. xxx

70. Rosie or Star...They are both Lousy Co-Hosts ! ABC should have offered Meredith more money to keep her in place. Rosie failed on her own show and with her magazine. I hate hearing about her kids. It is going to be like hearing Star talk about Al. Barbara, you made a mistake by bringing her on the staff of The View .

71. My opinion about Rosie aka/rollie is she is an obnoxious loud mouth rude female, it makes me feel ashamed that we are living as the same species as her I dont dare call her a lady because she is not!!!!!!! I WAS a fan of the view but I will never watch the show again and have to listen to that IDIOT!!!!!!! I think she should be ban from television I mean really how many people really want to see her lard ass loud mouth??????

72. I love Rosie...because of her I got to hook up with Darren Hayes!

73. Some of these comments are quite rude. Personally, I am not a fan of Rosie (nor was I a fan of Star) and I do believe she will be the show's demise. I am shocked that Barbara Walters would choose someone like Rose -- but, then again, I think Barbara's losing it too (her Marilyn Monroe impression still haunts me at night)!!!
I'll be tuning in the first day out of curiousity....after that, I think I'm done!!! I'll miss Joy (always my favorite) and Elizabeth (she's come a long way)

74. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO FREAKING RELAX......
I love Rosie, I know she will do great.. and what is it with the fat jokes????
just cause Star got her stomach stapled, don't mean she's better than Rosie...
you want to complain about something, you should be talking about the way Star would talk and then had to be pausing every few seconds cause her FAT A$$ needed to take a breath in... PLEASEEEEEEE
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ROSIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

75. STOP! STOP! STOP! Why are people on here hating on Rosie? And what does her sexual preference have to do with anything? NOTHING!!!! Exactly.

GO- Rosie, do you gurl?

And everybody hating on her should be a shame because as the saying goes, "people who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones!!!!!"
