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."

61. Rosie O'Donnell is a fat toad and if Trump sues her the only thing he'll get is warts...

62. I was just starting to like Donald Trump, and now he's being mean to Rosie! I wish he could become a gentleman and learn how to have manners and not be so rude to people. For someone in his position, it's strange to me that he openly bad-mouths other people who disagree with him. If you have confidence in yourself, there is no reason to be a hater.

63. I think it's fun to watch rich people fight.
God knows I ain't one of them.
Wouldn't it be a riot if someone told Donald about Rosie's first maternity test.
Donald, you are the father.
And Rosie could call donald "my baby's daddy."

64. PICTURE YOURSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER..
NOW PICTURE YOURSELF--A MALE--IN THAT BOAT WITH NANCY GRACE, GLORIA ALLRED, KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, AND ROSIE O'DONNELL--THE NIGHTMARE INCREASES IF SHE IS WEARING THAT "EXIT TO EDEN" LEATHER OUTFIT. VERY APROPOS FOR A DYKE LIKE O'DONNELL. DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT HER 'KELLI' IS THE AGGRESSIVE ONE WITH THE STRAP-ON?
HOPEFULLY THERE ARE BULL-SHARKS AROUND, WHICH EAT PEOPLE IN SALT AND FRESH WATER.
MY FAST SOLUTION FOR MYSELF WOULD BE TO IMMEDIATELY 'JUMP INTO THE SHARK' TO PUT A FAST END TO MY SUFFERING AND TORTURE.

65. Rosie fits in with the celeb haters here on TMZ. Rosie hates any goodlooking, skinny person in the Planet. She's a bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, person. Trump may have gone overboard and yes, acted like a 12 year old, but Rosie is a bitter, hater, and ugly person inside. No amount of smile can even hide that fact from her face.

66. I think Rosie was in the wrong the problem with her is she does not know when to keep her mouth shut. She is always bad mouthing someone everytime I turn on the View, that is why alot of people I know do not watch anymore. She is very brash and says what ever she wants to without thinking about it.Rosie has a very big mouth, and I think in the future that is going to get her in alot of trouble.Trump had every right to go on the attack towards her. She needs to learn to get her facts straight or what Trump says will come to pass the View will go down in flames do to Rosie

67. Rosie is an idiot and should learn to think before she speaks. It's getting old...go Donald!

68. Rosie could have been a little kinder to Donald, but at least, she told the truth. Who is really the fibber here? Donald is a pompous poor excuse for a human being. Rosie can be out of line, but she is not acting like a childish imp--he is!
He lashed out at Martha, cause she's a successful businesswoman with class, something he knows nothing about. And yes, Donald, don't take a drink, but have your little flings with whoever, and whenever, cause your money is the only thing that buys this fake beauty you so admire. And by the way, you're NOT handsome, you are pathetic.
Right on Rosie!!! You have my vote. Trump, you're fired.

69. I don't like either one of them. But what is wrong with giving a girl a a second chance? I can't watch view even if I try. Rosie is such a big mount obnoxious liberal whos opinion is the only right one. They have to do a extreme make-over on her every day. Normally she just looks like a dike.

70. Donald Trump is an arrogant manipulative wind bag germophobe with bad hair.

Rosie ODonnell is an ugly fat angry lesbian with a big mouth who is racist against Asians (Ching Chong Ching Chong) - of course she gets away with it because shes a rabid liberal.

They are both scum bags. Case Closed.

72. Donald Trump, what a jerk. What Rosie said is true, and the big "D" can't handle the truth obviously. I wonder if these women he married would have given him a second look if he worked in the mailroom. NOT!! They would give his comb-over a second look tho, lol. What a rude and vain SOB.

73. I'm so dissapointed in Barbra Walters! Rosie has my respects because her move was a bold one.

74. trump should have let it go, he looks worse then that fag plus calling her fat. bad news bears. he should have been classy, which he thinks he is and is not, oh i don't take those statements seriously, instead the jerk says he could steal the fag's girlfriend away. and he went on and on. o'reilly and larry king, omg if you disagree with him, you are on his sh*t list and i am referring to o'reilly and king.
what is the matter with trump, he should control his temper.
the day before he pardoned, that bisexual, alcoholic, tramp and the next day calls this fag fat.
we all know rosie has no class etc he should have let it go, oh not not trump, he is to be pitied like her two big mouths, making no sense
why rosie disagreed with keeping the tramp as ms usa, you think she would have agreed, after all the ms usa was bisexual she is as mixed up as big mouth rosie.

75. I quit watching The View the day Rosie O'Donnell made her first appearance and I won't watch it again until this shrill, overbearing, out of control motormouth is gone.

Rosie, there's a reason your talk show and magazine failed -- YOU! Go work with Howard Stern. You're a match made in... somewhere.
