Beauty
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.

34. 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.

37. Thank god Rosie's going to be on there. Even Howard Stern is happy. They need someone to wake up those dodoheads! Rosie's just the one to do it. I really like her now. She's herself, not some mock version that she was with her last show. You could tell she was not happy at all by the end of that show's run. She was going crazy. I loved Rosie's documentary on her gay family cruise. Glad to have it back!

38. 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.

39. Denise, the others are ultra liberal? The only one who is liberal is Joy. The others have stayed out. Star was very conservative. Elizabeth a nutcase, although I don't dislike her. She just seems naive.

42. Ashley....the show is called "The View"...it's suppose to represent DIFFERENT
views...Elisabeth is a breath of fresh air amongst all those liberals(talk about ignorant!)
I, for one, will not be tuning in any longer...I stopped watching when they announced Rosie was coming. The show is a disaster.

44. To the person that keeps referring to Rosie as "it", open your eyes and try for once not to be so close minded about a person. There sexuality doesn't make the person. She is a very funny and an entertaining person. Obviously she's doing something right take a look at her life, she's very successfull, and has a loving and caring life partner, can you say the same?

45. OK Rosie Haters- Turn the channel, its not that difficult!!! It makes no difference whether you like her or hate her, THEN DONT WATCH THE VIEW!!!!

I on the otherhand have been waiting for 4 years for her to be back on daytime TV. Rosie has always been outspoken with her opinions and isn't that one of the freedoms America was founded on, the right to free speech, the right to say what you feel! I just hope she goes for it, and I know she will!!!! YOU GO RO, See you Tuesday September 5th....
