Celebrity Feuds
Babwa Defends Rosie ... Sorta

Barbara Walters -- friend of Donald Trump, boss to Rosie O'Donnell -- attempted to delicately straddle the electric fence between the two, as she commented on their explosive fracas from afar.

"Donald Trump is a personal friend of mine and has been a good friend to 'The View' for many years," said Walters from abroad, via a rep for the show. "I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie."

Walters then plumped for Rosie. "That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of 'The View.' I certainly hope and expect that this tempest will pass quickly."

Earlier today, Trump dragged Walters into the feud during a live interview on "Good Day LA," saying that "Barbara cannot stand Rosie."

31. All of you that are so outraged at these photos probably got carpal tunnel syndrome clicking the mouse to view them and are now in some dark secret place in your houses making the Figgy Pudding for the Yuletide.

34. I think this is pretty ridiculous and I have to say kudos to Rosie for not commenting on all of the childish horrible name calling Trump did. (nana nana nana) It doesn't make sense to me that Trump would give one girl a second chance, who by the way is already Miss USA...and would not give the other who is only Miss Nevada a second chance. I believe they equally misrepresented what they signed up for and the "image" they are SUPPOSE to project. Maybe because Miss USA didn't have pix for proof...or maybe there was...but supposedly there was a positive test for cocaine. I think for Trump to say she will be tested regularly and will be entering rehab and then she says, and I am paraphrasing here...to say I am an alcoholic is pushing it. Also that she didn't believe she had a problem just made a mistake and Promised to be the best Miss USA ever!!!!
OK, just why would someone go into or rather be ordered into rehab if they DID NOT have a problem??? Doesn't make sense to me.
I have to say I have watched Trump's shows and did enjoy them, but due to his obivous lack of class...not that Rosie didn't go a little too far too...but Trump hit way below the belt with the sexuality and threats etc. Rosie, right on for taking the high road and not responding to this guy, who although I would watch the show for entertainment, I always remarked that this guy thinks he is GOD, and he would drive me nuts how he acts "better than" and I am just glad someone finally had the Balls to tell him basically...Trump..you are not all that and a bag of chips washed down with your own water label. Jeez can't get enough of your face or name huh.

37. Go Rosie. What lame brain comments about taking Kelli away. What a jerk. And did she say anything that wasn't true? I can't believe what a sh*thead he looks like calling Rosie fat. What are we in 1st grade Donny? Go stand in the corner and play with your hair.

38. Barbara Walters should retire when she hired that loud mouth loser
Rosie .She showed that her good judgement is gone.
When I see that fat ugly pig I feel like throwing up.

39. I think Rosie should keep her opinons to herself, she likes putting alot of people down, please look in the mirror you are not beautiful, or special like you think you are, and not too many people like you.

40. Trump has finally trumped himself, the loser that he is! Is there anyone who thinks the whole Miss USA debacle was not a publicity stunt, second chances my ass! He seems to think that if you have billions you can say and do what you want, I guess he forgets that regular non-billionaire PEOPLE are the ones that watch his shows, the guy is his own worst enemy.

You go Rosie!!!!

41. Stick it to that f***ing ass wipe, Donald, and boycot ANY company that promote his apprentice show and MIss America dolly house. My guess is that he is banging the Miss America Whore. He is upset with Rosie because she hit him below the belt. At least she has her head of hair and need no viagara. Donald, the one thing your MONEY will NEVER buy is RESPECT!!!!!! You are a LOSER. Consider yourself stoned by us.

43. I wonder if the view viewes are all closet racists like Rosie O'Footinhermouth. She is your typical hypocrite.

44. publicity stunt. more people will watch "the view." more people will buy trump's stupid books and watch his show. more people will watch the next Miss USA telecast. how many people even KNEW Miss USA's name before this press conference? this is about free publicity and money, money, money. this publicity is worth millions of dollars. they do this crap on purpose. they KNOW it will generate a buzz and here we are falling for it once again! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

45. Donald isn't mad that Rosie made comments about bankruptcy. He's angry that she was the ONLY one ever to make fun of that stupid hair do. Get over it, stop acting like an immature BIG Baby with all the name calling and get back to work, Mr. Trump!!!
