Rosie on Anna Nicole: "LOOSE CHANGE"?

After an eerie rant on yesterday's "The View" slamming Anna Nicole Smith, Rosie O'Donnell took to her blog today and characterized the starlet's death as ... loose change?
Rosie's puzzling blog entry on Anna Nicole.
On rosie.com, O'Donnell reprinted what appears to be the headlines taken from the Drudge Report, where coverage of Anna Nicole's death has been the top story since yesterday, and added a line of her own -- "LOOSE CHANGE." It's unclear whether O'Donnell was referring to Anna Nicole herself or -- more likely -- her own inclusion in the Drudge headlines.

Speaking of yesterday's "View" rant, Rosie, in a case of deeply unfortunate timing, declared her disdain for Anna Nicole and her suspicion of drug use by the former Playmate -- just hours before her death. Today's "View" was previously taped, so Ro won't have a chance to speak out again til Monday.

Through her rep, Rosie tells TMZ that the death of Anna Nicole is "unbearably tragic."

46. What irresponsible reporting, once again, on your part. I watched "The View" yesterday, and Rosie did NOT declare her 'disdain for Anna' - far from it. Rosie was speaking to the bizarre events and decisions in Anna's life. Is there not one of us who has wondered the very same thing? My heart goes out to Anna's family and friends - and especially her infant daughter. I also wonder when people in the industry will begin to understand that they, collectively, contributed to the obvious trainwreck and life spinning out of control - no matter what the coroner ultimately determines was the cause of Anna's death. The bottom line, to me, is that Anna succumbed to a broken heart - and to a life she could never get back on course. She is the classic symbol of someone who bought into the belief that fame and riches would buy her happiness. Rest in peace, Anna.

47. I just think it's hilarious how Rosie wines about Trump passing judgement and setting a morality bar when she does the same thing. Sure we all had our inclinations about ANS and drug use - but we aren't throwing our opinion out there for millions of people to see and hear. If she wants to offer her opinion up - she has to be prepared for the backlash - even if the person she is talking about happens to pass away unexpectedly.

48. SHUT THE HELL UP! A LOT of people, INCLUDING TMZ has bad mouthed Anna Nicole! To point the finger at ROSIE or ANYONE for that matter is BULLSHIT! You writers at TMZ are UNBELIEVABLE as are some of your POSTERS!

49. Rosie needs to be off the air, in fact, sent to another planet. She feels its her duty to comment and make her own judgements on people, but dont you dare say anything negative about a homosexual!!! she's a hypocrite and needs her mouth wired shut! i hope abc is seriously thinking of pulling her contract. how much more negative feedback is she going to need to get before they realize... no one likes her!!!

50. I agree that Rosie was just saying what everyone else was thinking. But this doesn't negate the fact she is a loud mouth pig.

52. Rosie O'Donnell is an asshole. She stands on her soapbox and passes judgement on everyone else. I can't stand that cow. Someone should smack her in the mouth (with a brick).

53. This fat no class BITCH really needs to have a hit put out on her ass. When the hell is she going to shut the F*CK UP!!!

54. Love how she has the comments on her site off so you can't leave on. Rosie is a total JERK. Why does she need to post the drudge report on her page now after what she said about Anna on the view. Hasn't anyone ever told her that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all? She doesn't like it when people say they are sick of her!

55. Loose Change? Exactly. Anyone who has seen the 'Loose Change' conspiracy vids, knows full well what Rosie is trying to say on her blog. Makes perfect sense to me anyways. Maybe it IS just coincidence that she 'died' during all this legal junk...BUT...having been named in a laysuit just this week, the pending DNA scandal, and the millions of $$ that could be won from Mr. Marshall's estate. Seems it would be easier to fake your own death and not have to deal with any of this crap. Move to some remote part of the world and never show your face again. If I was trying to keep my child, theres nothing I wouldnt do or try to protect him/her.

Tho I wonder why Mr. Stern and his lawyer are so upset about letting some of Anna's DNA be taken? Maybe thats cuz it isnt Anna thats on the autopsy table...and taking a sample from that person would prove she isnt really dead. ;o
Loose Change, Consipracy....sure I can see it. For once I hope this conspiracy is true tho. Such a tragedy for that baby girl to lose her mother. Now shes left in limbo, and thats the truly sad part.

Rosie did nothing wrong. Yes it was bad timing, but I for one can appreciate and respect someone who speaks their mind and doesnt concern themselves with being politically correct.

56. Human nature never seems to amaze us. As a class project we, as a team, have been reading TMZ, and the comments. Yes, Rosie did say what she feels, just like all of you. RIP Anna Nichole Smith: Very few of you even cared about her, her family cared even less, but it was like a train wreck. We have read your comments all along: baby's birth, death of her son, blood sucking attorney/man who wants money and says it his baby, attonery who lead her wronly, and you all made comments much worse than Rosie, and like normal, you took the words our of context. You are funny, and have forgotten what you have said all along. Now she is dead, and you change your mind. We liked her, and felt people close to her were her worst fear. You watch/read because you cannot believe it. So saying Rosie is fat, does that make you feel good? I am sure all you perfect people out there have never said anything you wished you hadn't? Right. But thank you for letting people state their views. We really believe that if some on these people didn't comment, fat, or racist, or just horrible means things,, they would take it out on their own families. You provide an outet for these oh so perfect people. By the way, we got an "A" from reading these peoples rants. Thanks

57. I can't believe this hypocrisy. When Anna was alive, everyone here posting was saying horrible things about her and wishing she would just die and get it over with. Now that she IS dead, she has suddenly turned into a saint? And because Rosie disparaged Anna on air (as most everyone here has) NOT KNOWING she was dead, now you people wish death on Rosie? PATHETIC.

Anna was self-destructive and destructive to others as well. She was an uneducated, simple-minded gold-digger and seems she was a bad parent as well. Perhaps vultures did cavort around Anna, but NO ONE can say she wasn't the biggest vulture herself. Untimely death is always unfortunate, but COME ON! It is NOT an "unbeareable tragedy". MUCH BETTER PEOPLE THAN ANNA DIE EVERY DAY. People who actually contributed to society in a way that Anna never did or could.

Yet the news is beseiged by outpouring of grief for this simple-minded gold-digger. WHY?

58. Question - would Rosie's "rant" have even made this site today, if Anna had not died? I doubt it.
Why not think about that. I bet that had this tragedy not happened, NO ONE would have been talking about the 5 seconds Rosie spoke about Anna!

59. You guys cannot be that stupid.

The blog that Rosie posted was simply saying that the shows that said "Rosie Attacks Anna hours before her death.. next on ET" .. with all that was going on in Anna's life.. that Rosie comments were loose change in all the important factors leading up to Anna's Death.

don't be so stupid people.. get an education and get a life.
