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.

76. Glad to see the View is getting someone who is down to earth and very funny. I will start watching the View now that JONES IS OUT(she was a fake B who thought her **** didn't stink). Hey Rosie tell your airbrushers that 65% of the U.S.A. is over-weight and there is no need to be on the airbrush diet!!!!!

77. I don't care to ever see Rosie or a picture of her again. When she had her own show, my 10 year old daughter with bone cancer picked her and her show as her Make A Wish. When we went to her show my daughter could not participate in the show because she was in a wheel chair and when we met Rosie she took very little interest in my daughter, said the f&*$ word in front of her several times and made indecent remarks about the Dutchess of York and her children. She was extremely rude and my daughter was devestated. When we requested an apology, none was given!

79. I stopped watching this farce months ago. Adding this cow into the barnyard just further strengthens my resolve to never have my channel tuned to ABC at this time. Regis, that little conceited wimp, is hard enough to stomach, but another hour of wasted time is just too much. I'd rather watch Maury or Jerry as hard as that may seem.

80. I dont care how gay rosie is. The point is these people are enterainers and that is all they should be able to do on tv. Keep their opinions to themselves and quite using the media to push them on others. I myself, dont care at all for rosie and will quite watching "the view" when she is on.

83. I've lived long enough to know that there is always a story behind the story. I'm sorry to hear about Rosie being rude to a child. I wasn't there so I don't know the whole picture...but it certainly sounds untypical. I'm thinking, as I read the posts, that it is apparently OK in America to say foul things about people's weight and to express disgust about people who aren't attractive to the writer. Wasn't it Dr. King who talked about judging people "by the content of their character"? A person's character shows in what he/she feels free to write in a forum like this. I guess there are some really sick, angry and cruel people out there. How sad for this country.

84. Ms Kris,

Who made you the Grand Poobah?

Rosie is a great lady who has done a lot of wonderful things for the world. Do some research and quit being such a bitch.

Love ya Rosie!!

85. The only thing that would improve the View would be a group of young, hot scantily clad muscle bound men discussing all the things men can do to pamper their women...
Rosie always looks like she just took a sniff of cow manure...What is wrong with her face in pictures?
Bottom line is the View sucks and shouldnt last long ....

88. If Rosanne Barf can get a few men, why can't Rosie? Those lezzies just strap on a dildoe and pretend one is a man.

Like the old Limerick:
They argued all night as to who had the right
To do what and to how and to whom?

89. I can't wait to hear Rosie and Elisabeth argue!! I am so glad she is on the show for that reason.

90. I use to watch this show for the hot topics just to get a womans point of view on issues of the day, I loved Merideth, she is gone, I am glad Starr is gone I was sick of hearing about how she finally landed a man, I thought Lisa Ling was sweet, Joy thinks she is soooo right when she bashes Pres. Bush, but won't shut her pie hole long enough to listen to anyone else,and she is no comedian, I like Elizabeth you can tell she has a good heart, and for a little gal she don't take any crap from the ones that try and bully her and you need Babs to be a ramrod, but Rosie, what a train wreck, she is hard to look at, and I can't stand her politics, I don't think they need two fat non funny left wing comedians, they should have a more pleasant middle of the road replacement.
