Rosie vs. Oprah in Another Bitchfest?

Posted Jan 22nd 2007 11:59AM by TMZ Staff

Rosie O'Donnell, Oprah Winfrey Rosie 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:

"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?

46. how is she attacking oprah, last time i checked she was commenting on the show, there was no vicious attack, stop trying to start a new fight. i think rosie is one of the few celebs out there not infatuuated with the glitz and glamour and able to speak up on issues which most americans are thinking the same things!

47. Sorry Mupa, but Oprah's not a run of the mill millionaire - she's a Billionaire Celebrity - that's Billionaire with a capital "B"!!!

Suck on that, punjab!

48. Rosie is obnoxious but her stint about Trump was hilarious! Oprah was WRONG for bringing that boy on television. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The parents were idiots too but Oprah should know better. She should have a stronger sense of responsibility. It's also the public that needs to knock her down a peg by not watching her crap like this.

49. YouTube today's show. Read her blog for yourself. It wasn't about Oprah. It was about the kid & the choice his parents made for him to be on TV. Period. Someone - if not everyone - was going to offer the interview. That's what journalists do. Give Rosie a rest. She offered her opinion as a Mom. Nothing more or less.

50. You are so dumb for posting this. Do you do your research at ALL?? Have you missed the post that she loves Oprah. You media people are seriously taking this too far. really. it makes me disgusted that you would try to start another issue just to get more hits on your site. im done with tmz. you are all a bunch of fools. GO PEREZ!

52. Rosie O'Donnell adopted a baby in the 90s.

When the child was found to have learning disabilities she dumped that baby like old trash

Sent it back to Social Services!! when she could have afforded a STAFF to care for that poor child!!

53. I think Rosie needs to keep her mouth shut about everybody else and do her TV show. What other people do is not her business. If a celebrities name comes up on her show all she needs to do is report on what the topic is and that's it. I hope Trump puts her in her place with his awesome comments.

54. just a note : People who live in glass house should not throw stones! we all do. This all started because Rosie did not believe in 2nd chances and Mr.Trump did. We in society are always looking for the bad and never the good. WE forget that the donald even helped martha stewart out and she is a convicted crimnal. Take Rosie off the air she has to many issues and will bring the view down in time. As for Barbara Watlers I no longer have respect for her as a journalist she has managed to ruin a great career. The mess on the view is what she will be rememberd for. Joy is the only pleasant one left. Barbara looks like Rosies PUPPET!!!! It is sad to watch.

55. OH COME ON!!!! Her comments had nothing to do with Oprah, TMZ is trying to start something!

56. I agree with Rosie. Oprah went to far that the poor boy.

57. SHE'S RIGHT DOES THIS POOR CHILD NEED TO BE PARADED AROUND TV OR GO INTO SOME INTENSE THERAPY

58. I will be soglad when the press finds somone else to torment and leave Rosie alone.

59. I agree with Sonia. Oprah has become insufferable. With regards to nomassa's comments, um, do you have some sort of agenda by signing of as nomassa? So cute.

60. It would be neat if Rosie could be known for her grace, intelligence and class. Being popular by bashing others and having a loud mouth just isn't the way to go! The first time I started seeing Rosie in a different way.....(a negative one) was when she quipped at someone, something similar to "I hope you get cancer." I could NEVER say that to anyone. Where did it come from? What is it INSIDE a person that motivates them to say this? She's scary.......and out of control.
