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.

91. I think Barbara Walters has sank to a new low. This USED to be a good show. Im not a fan of Stars, but she was a least intellegent and could hold a relatively good conversation worth listening to

92. I have read all your comments, and I only have one thing to say:

Thank God we live in a country where we can watch what we want to on television, and if we don't want to watch a particular show, we have the right and the choice to turn it off.

Can I get an Amen?

93. The View - now I see how they came up with the name for the show: Vicious, Insensitive, Evil Women. Who cares what any of them think! I don't care to watch a bunch of women whining and talking about "nothing". There are far more important things to do.

101. I got tired of the View when Star got abyfirend and all of her life exculated and she was rude on show. She was so great she thought. I couldnt stand her. Glad Rosie is coming. I enjoyed her other show and I am sure she will be a plus to the View. It needs some life and Rosie is the one to bring it. Cant wait to hear her banter with the other gals.

102. I'm thrilled that Rosie will be a permanant replacement for Star Jones. I think she will be refreshing. My husband couldn't stand Star. He always said "SheThinks Her (You Know What) doesn't Stink". We both think she feels she's better than everyone else. I'm so ready for a change. I personally liked Rosie"s talk show and was dissappointed when she left it. Now she's back and I'm excited. I used to like Elizabeth but am getting tired of her, she's too uptight about too many things. I love Joy and Barbara of course.

103. I think there are a lot of haters in the world. I personally like Rosie, she's adorable and refreshingly candid. In a world of smoke and mirrors, no less! So she doesn't say what you want to hear, grow up. Not everyone thinks like you do. She's entitled to whatever she wants in this world every bit as much as you are.

Also, I saw her in NY last winter in Fiddler and she blew me away. Rosie rocks!

104. So is she bragging or complaining?

105. I guess this is all in the world of comedy!! Anything to make one look good. i think not. She is just trying to make a come back and trying every way she can. Well Good Luck is all i can say.She is a has been and will be a has been forever been! Rosie, Rosie give it up!!
