Rosie Dumps on "Idol" and Abdul

Click to return to TMZ.comRosie O'Donnell went on the offense yet again, this time the target in her "View" was only the biggest phenomenon on TV, "American Idol."

After showing a clip from last night's "Idol" in which Simon, Paula, and Randy mocked a particularly ridiculous wannabe, Ro tore into the show, calling it "so sad" and excoriating the "millionaire" judges for laughing at contestants. And, as she did yesterday, Rosie suggested that one judge (hello, Paula!) was "probably intoxicated." You could almost feel the squirm ooze out of "Idol" sweetheart Kellie Pickler, who was guest-hosting for the day.

If Rosie seems a little cranky, she's had a tough few weeks, by her own admission. As she told guest Juliette Binoche, she's been dealing with "menopause and billionaires."

409. I think American Idol has changed so much since it first started. I think Paula and Simon and Randy are acting, now. I think they are doing exactly what they are told to be doing. Reality? There couldn't be that many people, who would act like the way some of those people act, unless there was cash behind it. And as for Rosie. Who is Rosie?

410. I laugh at all of you, screaming profanity at Rosie such as 'STFU' or 'f88king b-tch' because while your worthless outbursts of rage upon celebrity-dom may actually make your opinions two cents more than they're worth, they're whimsical. Rosie pokes and jabs at people to make a point, and they're a lot better than the other television celebrity-chat groups who can't get over Anna Nicole and the Anoxeric Twins because they don't have any other better way to waste the film on their cameras.

For anyone that thinks that AI is some kind of holy & religous channel, I'm sorry to say you're watching the wrong station. AI is infamous for making the harshest critiscm upon its contestants, and then throwing some more after they've already left the room. Rosie was only pointing out the truth. --ALRIGHT! So, BECAUSE she was POINTING OUT THE TRUTH, we have to SHOOT her! First, the VIEW, next OUR LOCAL WEATHER CHANNEL! Jimmy, BRING THE AK47's!

"As for Rosie and her ongoing bashing of EVERYONE- she needs to let go of her lesbian rage and get a life."

Homophobic much? And, as much as you think she cares about your opinion, she does have a life, and it has a lot more money than yours. =/

"Maybe shes just like some hetero men, when the loving at going on at home they turn a little bitter???"

Sounds like something you know a lot about. =/

411. ROSIE IS NOTHING BUT A BIG MOUTH AND IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE. SHE IS A BIG MOUTH DYKE. SHE PROBALLY WANTS TO BE AS PRETTY AND AS POPULAR AS PAULA , THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I HATE ROSIE'S TV SHOW. IF THAT IS ALL I HAD TO WATCH ON TV I WOULD NOT OWN A TV.

Hello ,


Good day to you, my name is John Soso, I am an artist , and the owner of Soso Art World .I live and work in London with my two kids, 2 cats, one dog and the love of my life my Harrison. It is definitely a full house.
I have been into artwork since childhood. That gives me years of experience. I majored in Art in high school and took a few colleges Art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing, ancient antiquities and creative artworks on the computer. I have been selling my art for the last 3 years and I have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines. I have sold some of my art works to some private companies in United States of America.


But I do face some difficulties when it comes to Payment, because all my customers in
America always offer to pay me with U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS, and I find it very difficult to cash the U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS in London, This is because the British Government does not permit the usage of U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS in Britain.

Right now, I'm searching for a representative in United States that will be able to cash the MONEY ORDERS in America and wire the available funds to me in Britain.
Who to trust are my problems. I’ve series of arrangements with the FBI in Washington, in attempt for anyone to make away with my funds; definitely the laws will catch-up with him, and he will definitely face the consequences.

You are entitled to 15% commission for any transaction (that is for any money order cashed).This transaction is risk free and legal from the American Government.

Please get back to me with all Information listed below

(1) Full Name..........................................................................
(2) Full Contact Address.........................................................
(3) Phone Number.................................................................
(4) Age...................................................................................
(5) Sex...................................................................................

Once again this transaction is 100% risk free and legal from the United States Government and the British Government, so feel free about this transaction and get back to me with the required information's to enable us proceed. Thanks for going through this proposal.

My warmest Regards and thanks for your anticipated assistant,
John Soso-Justin.
Director of Soso ART WORLD INC,
London, United Kingdom

414. Rosie--have you really and truly either looked at yourselfor even listened to yourself ? You rant, rave, criticize, make an ugly face while throwing stones at other people! Wake up, Rosie! The Biggest Harpie in all of your tirades is YOU! If you think I will watch "The View" to hear what you have to rant about, you are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!! I don't even watch your show because I know you are on it and I DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU!!! If you think you are being "cute," you are wrong. You are just cutting! I pity you for being such a miserable, unhappy woman.

417. I dont know who is nuttier fat Rosie or Tyra Banks?

418. Wow, I stumbled on this site by reading about American Idol. I was lead astray. This seems to be a forum for foul mouthed adolescents that cannot spell. Shame on me for reading this ridiculous garbage but I must admit that the dergree of ignorance I have encountered here is riveting. My suggestion is that you all stop watching the View and read a dictionary and for the love of god, don't kiss your mothers with those filthy mouths!

Rock on Rosie.

420. This is somewhat later than other comments but ,while I agree with some of the other critical comments, I have not enjoyed "The View' since Rosie came on board. She's loud, crass and terribly opinionated. When I hear that voice come on, I just switch channels. Sorry, I would like to see the View continue with a more "refined" participant.
