Celebrity Feuds
Madonna's Got Rosie's Back

Click to return to TMZ.comMadonna has chimed in on the Donald Trump/Rosie O'Donnell war of words, and has come to the defense of her longtime gal pal.

The Material Mom, who co-starred with O'Donnell in "A League of Their Own," told "Today's" Meredith Vieira, "People are giving Rosie a hard time. I wish they'd stop. I don't think it's fair." Madge revealed she was on vacation when news of the public feud broke, and quickly emailed Rosie to get the real scoop. "I have to hear it from the horse's mouth." Those are her words, not ours!

Madonna believes that since O'Donnell is a standup comic, saying controversial things in monologues is par for the course. "I have a feeling that if every stand-up comic was penalized for saying politically incorrect or provocative things, I think they'd all be hung in the public square." Can you say Michael Richards?

Her Madgesty went on "Today" to plug her new animated film, "Arthur and the Invisibles," which opens Friday.

50. Rosie is and always has been a loud mouthed loser. No if, ands or buts about that. She uses her lesbian sexuality to turn every comment that anyone makes to claim they are homophobics. Barbara Walters used to have class, teaming up with Rosie has diminished that persona. Rosie dominates the show. I stopped watching after she came on board. As for Madonna, where did the English accent come from?? Who knows, she is a scumbag dressed in pink polka dots as opposed to her brass bras of her past. As for Rosie being her friend, that I do not doubt, Madonna used to swing both ways. I think the nonsense between Rosie and Trump needs to stop. Ir's sophmoric behaviour.Trumps' money buys him power and women, but not class.

55. d-man
you are the most deranged individual I have ever come across to in my life time
the truth must of hit you hard just like the TRUMP DUMP. you guy's can't handle the truth and you have NO CLASS what so ever of being what a real man is!
I guess that is why we can pick you out in the crowd because your lack of respect

and you wonder why women have to resort to the coat of armor for being a bitch in the 1st place because of degenerates and low class scum bags like you D-MAn

you do have what it takes of being a male preteen who just don't have what it takes to know a real women if it were to bitch slap you in the face (like you need so desperately)
just carry on with the stroking of your wee ITTLE LITTLE WORM with your right hand and you won't to worry about getting respect from us women where respect is no due from jerk off like you for that is all your worth anyway

58. It's fascinating how vitriolic the comments are yet no one truly identifies themselves. They post no links. No way to find them. In the cyberworld the loudest is king and the weak "in real life" can have the voice they yearn for. Reducing comments to the type of name-calling that you hear on a high school shortbus is tantamount to revealing a life full of failures.

59. To quote Rosie...."and Donald Trump is the moral compass......etc." Well I wouldn't use Madonna as a moral compass for anything!! If Rosie can knock Donald Trump for being immoral, WHAT THE HELL SHOULD SHE BE SAYING ABOUT MADONNA, WITH HER NEW INTEREST, WRITING CHILDRENS BOOKS AND ALL!! I don't disagree with Rosie for getting uptight about how Trump deciding to "protect" Miss USA, after all it was headline news, and I happen to agree that the whole thing was ridiculous, and that she should have suffered the consequences for her immoral behavior, BUT, Rosie might as well have said nothing at all, if she wasn't going to pose her dissaproval in a more mature and serious manner. After all, Mr. Trump criticized Miss Universe for being overweight, and he had no problem saying it, how does he have such a heart for a girl who is obviously NOT a role model of any kind! Rosie was absolutely wrong for the way she posed her distaste for the entire situation, and her role on the View, is not the role of standup comedian and Madonna put it. She needs lessons in being a little more diplomatic. I can only describe her as a person who has alot of anger issues, (especially with men), that I'm sure has been addressed by a therapist. But Rosie has not conquered this yet, and she needs to be kept in line. Her original show was very good, I enjoyed it myself, but as soon as she started using it as a venue for her political opinions, it was all over. Donald Trump as well as Rosie O'Donnel should go to their perspective corners, spit in a bucket and call it quits! And Madonna, just give us all a break and disappear all together!
