Celebrity Feuds
Rosie vs. Oprah in Another Bitchfest?

Rosie O'Donnell, Oprah WinfreyRosie O'Donnell took to her blog again, this time taking swipe at the Talk Queen herself, Oprah Winfrey.

At issue was Oprah's interview last Thursday with kidnap victim Shawn Hornbeck and his family. Rosie, in her non-sensical, haiku-meets-illiterate-rambling kinda way, refers to Hornbeck on her blog as "paraded out for america to see." She goes on:

"after 4 years captive
a new haircut couldn't hide
his tormented eyes"

But Rosie -- long considered an advocate for the rights of children (and homosexuals, and fat people, and Broadway musicals) -- did find someone above rebuke; the parents of the other kidnapped boy, Ben Ownby:Oprah gallery: Click to launch photos

"ben
will not be appearing
on tv today
a moment of sanity"


Careful Rosie, going after the Donald is one thing, but you might not want to take on the O. Has anyone seen James Frey lately?

16. Rosie has gone too far now. It was the kids and parents choice to do Oprah's show. Why don't she talk about herself for a change.

17. janis...number 13,


Uou are right, she has her view and because she is a public figure, she can be "picked on".
Are people not entitled to their own views?
Or is ROSIE HO the only view that counts?
Who died and made this c..t queen?
Who would want her aa a queen anyway?
Noone would want to be her"king"

18. The dumbest thing I've ever heard come out of Rosie's mouth was when she claimed that "Christian Fundamentalism is every bit as as dangerous as radical Islam". Okaaaay.... But her comments about the Donald were right on the money! Her comments about this boy being exploited after living 4 years of hell are also right on! Not a Rosie fan here, but when she's right, she's right.

20. Rosie was right on this one. What were the parents thinking? What was the point. Would NEVER put my son on stage after such an ordeal. Love Oprah...but it was a bad choice.

23. Honestly, is there anyone who really believes it's healthy for kids who've been victims of abuse to be on TV? Whatever happened to privacy? I agree with Rosie. The sanest thing for any parent to do would be to shield their child from public curiosity.

25. Shame on TMZ for trying to start something. Sad thing is, it's not the first time. And for all y'all that don't like Rosie's "View" CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!! I adore her and her "View"

26. I am with you Stephanie, Rosie didn't atack Oprah, just parents for making a mistake. I don't understand this pomp about Rosie. She can't say anything now without being attacked. C'mon, this is a talk show and these women are there to give their VIEW about recent news. That is why the NAME of this show.is THE VIEW.
I am with you Rosie...

27. I think Oprah is just a little too full of herself! She has really gotten self righteous and smug recently. I think it was the parents responsibility to NOT let their child be interviewed. And, oprah doesn't care about the childs welfare she just wanted to get the interview. She cares more about her stupid dogs then a childs well being.

28. Told you so. You know when people have negative feelings about themselves the first thing they usually do is try to bring down others.

Since Rosie has been on the view all she has done is criticize everyone. She's overtalks the other ladies on the View, she down graded The Donald for giving someone a second chance. She lambasted American Idol host for of all things being to cruel and then being drunk and now she's mad because O had this kid and his parents on the show talking about his kidnapping.

I've never seen someone so hell bent on making a comeback that they just try to make everyone else look bad.

First, Rosie needs to Shut the F up and let Joy and Elizabeth talk sometimes. I mean hell I don't like Elizabeth either or should I say those conservative views of hers but let her talk. I like Joy she's funny and well Barbara - let's just say I now find it hard to believe anything that comes out of her mouth (ie: the Star firing incident, and the things she told The Donald about Rosie (yeah that's right I do believe she said those things and now is trying to cover it up. Rosie is ruining your good name Babara, she's causing a lot of conflict. You'd be wise to let her go - it's not worth the ratings).

Secondly, I think it was commendable for Mr. Trump to give Ms USA a second chance. I mean doesn't everyone deserve one. Look at her, she's been giving a second chance with all of the chaos she has caused, I don't see how anyone in their right mind would want to work with her, however Barbara must have seen something in her, she gave her a second (if this is not her second then 3rd or 4th )
chance. Let's just hope that Ms. USA will recover and become a better person through all of this: we're rooting for her. Remember Rosie you have children whom I know are not perfect and who no doubt will make mistakes also. I know that you would want someone to give them a second chance.

Thirdly, American Idol is entertainment. This is not the first show. By now anyone trying out for 'Idol' should know what they are getting into. And I know the majority of the people trying out who can't sing worth a damn have to know it. My God, don't they have friends or relatives who can tell them they sound like coyotes on crack. It's not Randy's, Paula's or Simon's fault if they decide they want to go on National TV and make total jackass' of themselves. Some I believe do it just for their 5 minutes of fame. And you know what kudos to them, because without them the show probably, in the beginning anyway, would be as entertaining I enjoy the laughs. After that, after they get rid of the ridiculous and start concentrating on the serious singers then let the games begin. Oh and buy the way I saw Paula too and even though I think she may have appeared drunk she said she has never been drunk because she doesn't drink, well Rosie I think you need to keep your opinions to yourself until you have some hard facts. One day the sh-- is going to hit the fan and I can smell you coming a mile away Rosie.

Last, but certainly not least, if the parents of Shawn thought it was a good idea to bring him on Oprah's show and they spoke with him about it and he felt comfortable about it then Rosie I say BUTT OUTT.

You are nothing but an instigator always around to start the trouble and then when everyone else has gotten heated up then you slyly slip out of the frey and leave everything a total mess.(Look at what has happened to Donald and Barbara once good friends).

You did the same thing with Star(about her loosing weight) what business is it of yours or anyone else's for that matter how she lost the weight, but you just had to keep harping on that issue didn't you. When and if she wanted to tell us then that should be her business and not for you to decide. I mean didn't you come out of the closet when you were good and ready Rosie what a fu----- hypocrit.

29. TMZ is creating stories just to fill space. She is not going after Oprah. Read her blog. TMZ is becoming the "National Enquirer" of the internet. 1/2 truth, 1/2 lies.

30. Opra is out of control she thinks she is above repoach.It is her show solicited the parents and child. It is not the parents that went to Opra . I am not a fan of either of them .BUT people are allowed to express there opinion are they not ?
