Rosie's "View" Not the Prettiest Picture

Katie Couric's not the only high-profile female TV personality with airbrush issues – Rosie O'Donnell says she's recently had the retouch treatment as well. In a new ABC promo photo for the new season of "The View," Rosie appears with her co-hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar, and Barbara Walters, and though she seems to be in relatively normal proportion to the other "View"-ers, the gab queen says she's been slimmed by the hand of Photoshop magic. "Look at the amount of white space/between my arm and body/barbara and elisabeth seem to vanish/there in my underarm," writes Rosie, giving her best forensic analysis on her blog at rosie.com



What's more, she tells Glamour magazine that she's letting her hair grow "long and luxurious" to allay concerns that her tight crop of recent years (especially the Flock of Seagulls look) might be too "gay" for the audience of "The View." Fortunately for all of us, O'Donnell promises that her locks henceforth won't be "scary."

Of course, as the photographic evidence has shown, butch doesn't have to equal "scary" – or gnarly. Halle Berry and Natalie Portman are just two of Hollywood's beauties that have made short look hot.

16. I enjoyed watching The View with Meredith and Star.

I have never been a fan of Rosie O'D and will not be watching The View again.

17. ROSIE THINKS THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WHAT SHE THINKS OR HAS T SAY SAY BUT GUESS WHAT R.O.S.I.E WE DONT. THE ONLY THINKG YOUR MOUTH IS GOOD FOR IS TAKING CARE OF YOU GIRLFRIEND/WIFE. THATS IF YOU CAN KEEP IT CLOSED LONG ENOUGH.

18. "Halle Berry and Natalie Portman are just two of Hollywood's beauties that have made short look hot."
Yeah, but Halle and Natalie are beautiful to begin with. And its quite funny that she's okay with being photoshop'd to give the ILLUSION that she lost weight. Star Jones really lost it through surgery.. but lost it nonetheless. And Rosie publically bashed her over it.
The nerve... tsk tsk tsk.

21. I totally agree with Wanda. What her sexual preferences are is her own business.

She's a no-talent big mouth no matter what she does in private.

22. To all the people who say they need Rosie to balance out Elisabeth and all of her conservative view, what do you consider a balance? The entire cast with the exception of Elisabeth is ULTRA LIBERAL> Elisabeth is the only reason I watch and the others are very irrevant and disrespectful and Rosie will certainly fit in with them

23. I have a question for all here: What is it that Rosie has done that makes some of you completely disrespect her. She is a complete advocate for children (geez!! good for her!!) and has never done anything that warrants some of these postings. Some of you just really need to get a life here!!

24. #23 Denise...
I'm not a big fan of Elisabeth myself, but I agree with you completely otherwise. She is the only one with conservative values. Star was the only other one who was like that and she's gone.
Elisabeth will be outnumbered until they can get another person to join which, hopefully, will then balance it out.
Maybe before the show is cancelled altogether. (I wont be watching to find out).

27. Does anyone out there remember that Star Jones defended O.J. Simpson
and thought that he was innocent? She was everywhere on the air
shouting her support for him. I was always hoping that some guest would go on The View and ask her if she still felt that way. She is a confirmed moron
then and now.

28. Rosie who? oh, the mouth that keeps flapping in the wind....
Move on to a higher form of entertainment and applaude yourself for "viewing yourself" with more class...

29. ROSIE WHO....OH YES......A MOUTH THAT FLAPS IN THE WIND WITH NOTHING MUCH TO SAY...LET THE WIND MOVE YOU TO SEEK A HIGHER FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT AND APPLAUDE YOURSELF FOR THE "NEW VIEW " YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR YOURSELF...

30. Rosie O'Donnell is the most abrasive, loud mouth, guffawing nitwit ever to grace the screen. Even if she did not have her "girlfriend" she would still be the most obnoxious, nerve grating loudmouth person on tv (next to Dr. Phil). Just because she adopted those kids does not make her a saint. So have a lot of others. Who gives a flip about her (sexual?) preference? Sex is between a man and a woman. She is just one of many.
