61. I just love how people here who obviously haven’t seen/heard the conversations in question in their entirety still think they are perfectly justified in spouting off with their mean-spirited, ignorant opinions. It’s such a sad commentary about what is happening in our society. Ever decreasing attention spans and tabloids paying for interviews and stories (never mind worrying about pesky little things like facts) and pandering to the lowest common denominator have led to an ever growing number of ignorant fools that actually believe they are getting all the information they need about a person or a topic from a 15 second sound bite taken out of context and very often heavily edited. I love those people almost as much as the ones that insist they don’t watch The View since Rosie joined the show because they don’t like her and then proceed to rant on and on about how she’s ruining the show and how terrible it is now etc etc. You can’t have it both ways. If you don’t watch then you really can’t comment on her performance, now can you? For your own sakes, get your facts straight folks before you open your big (too often vile and homophobic) yaps and prove your profound ignorance.

Not always, but certainly much of the time, Rosie is saying (in her admittedly sometimes aggressive manner) exactly what vast numbers of other people are also saying about a given current event. The only difference is she has a public platform where it is HER JOB to express her opinions. It’s not as though she’s out there volunteering her unsolicited opinions to any available microphone. Is she not supposed to notice the same things the rest of us do? Rosie certainly wasn’t the first person or the only person to notice that Anna Nicole’s bizarre antics over the years evidenced a woman clearly in trouble and heading for disaster in one way or another, or that no one in a position to do so seemed willing or able to intervene. Nor was Rosie the first or only person to wonder exactly why it was we were all being subjected to the unfolding train wreck that appeared to be the life of ANS every other day. If not for the sad irony of Anna Nicole’s sudden passing on the same day Rosie just happened to mention her name as an example of the obsession with useless "news" stories that distract from what's really going on in the world, no one would have given what Rosie said a second thought except to agree with her. Same with the Paula Abdul question. Why does Rosie get called out for saying EXACTLY the same things being said all over the country by anyone remotely aware of the story? It’s completely hypocritical and totally unfair.

She may make me cringe on occasion, but I think Rosie's great. I much prefer her straight forward, calls-them-as-she-sees-them ways to the usual fare of hyper-PC people that, out of fear, never, ever give a straight answer to anything and never say anything at all interesting or revealing. I think Rosie has been a breath of fresh air to that show and the through the roof ratings prove that a lot of other folks think so too.

62. Because some people have no common sense. Rosie is saying what people on TMZ have been saying for days now, and more eloquently might I add.

God forbid a person who isn't a size 4 have an opinion.

63. HKS should sue Rosie for implying he's a junkie. (I'm not saying he's not, I'm not saying he is. I just wish someone would sue that behemoth). And while Rosie O'Donut is shedding crocodile tears over ANS's death, she claims ANS had two surgeries on her breasts in the last 5 mos. which the medical examiner clearly stated that ANS had no recent surgical scars, so why mention it? When was that verified? If it was, excuse me, but there have been no VALID medical reports that these surgeries were the cause of her death. I found mention of it distasteful.
Finally Rosie, yeah, you did allude to your own addiction, FOOD. You have to wear a sleep apnea monitor for (and we know that is a problem that is often obesity related and can be deadly so don't front), but *your* people aren't getting you to put down any cheeseburgers, now are they? It may be somewhat different, arguably, but you still come off so self-righteous, accusatory, disrespectful and obnoxious. How do you know what ANS's people did or did not do to try to help her? You don't. Balloons and tethers...STFU.
If an entertainment program paid for an interview and ANS showed up wasted, that's on her. Unless they put in the agreement that she would not get paid unless she passed a drug test, they have to pay her, so they are going to run the interview. Show business is about money, not baby-sitting addicts. It's just a harsh reality.
So really, get your facts straight, get your addictions under control and get some decent legal advice before you open up your pie hole, Rosie.You are proving The Donald right. Team Anna and Team Donald!.

64. It is SO difficult to listen to Rosie pontificate about anything. She is as annoying as they come, and she states everything (regardless of who or what she's talking about) as though she's an authority about it all. She's had all weekend to cook up a 'wonderful' thing to say, making nice of her comment about ANS and, as I recall she imitated her on the show--at no time necessarily worrying about what SHE (ANS) might have thought if she watched the show. When will this person leave the VIEW--actually, when will the ALL leave.

65. I think Rosie's comments may be truthful about Anna Nicole,
but very cruel and painful and uncalled for.
Yes, everyone knew she had a problem, but did anyone help
her? No.
Not even Rosie.
Did everyone joked about her and her problems?
Yes.
And now she is dead.
Does everyone feel better, after all their mean spirited and
cruel comments have been said?
Probably.

Anna Nicole is now dead.
Find someone else to pick on.
May she suffer no more.
Be in peace Anna Nicole.....

66. Rosie calls it as she sees it, and sadly, she is right on about Anna Nicole Smith. I blame her attorney for not intervening over the drug usage. Maybe the reason could be he wanted her like this........there was a method to his madness.

67. Rosie is is sick fat ass bitch...look at her life she is gay and that there should abolish her. Anna nicole may have had a few problems but she is not due to have her life thrown at the wolves by rosie. Look at her life she is going no where and look at her fat ass and still growing.

68. I'm tired of Rosie's yammering. I quit watching the View a LONG time ago. the only time i hear about the View is when that fatass slob crotch eating bitch goes off on her own views. The show has become Rosie's View. I couldnt give a crap what she has to say, and i hated her when she had her own show. I truly wish something bad would happen to her like it has to all of the people she bitches about. She's had it way too easy.

69. Listen to all of you accusing Howard K. Stern as THE murderer of both Anna and her son. Where is the proof he gave the 20 year old man of Anna's the drugs he died from? He had just came from L.A. DUH? No proof of murder there. Howard Stern Loved and loves Anna, She even appeared much more classy with him lately. In case you don't know NO ONE told Anna what to do. NO ONE! She was out dropping straight shots at the Hardrock til the wee hours of the Morning, Howard went to check on the boat..he wasn't even at the hotel when she died. God rest her sweet soul. You never see Howard wasted in any of those photos..always trying to guard and protect Anna and her son. He had been in her life many years...AT HER SUGGESTION! DUH! No one stayed around Anna that she did not want too. HINT: her Mother or should I say her so-called disgusting Mother...and Anna would turn over in her grave if her Mother got custody of the baby girl. If you want to blame someone...blame all the media that hounded her night and day!!!!!!!! If it wasn't for Howard she would have gone off the deep end sooner. Think about it. Howard is doing exactly what Anna Nicole Smith wanted...carrying out her wishes. It is obvious that he truly loved her. Probably the only man that really does. She was no dummy...she went after what she wanted and GOT it. She was very smart..just acted dumb in that reality show. She
I miss and am very sad she had to die, she was just coming into her own...a complete woman.

70. poster above me. She was just coming into her own? a complete woman? good lord. She was almost 40. She couldnt raise her own son without being loaded half the time (or all of the time) anyone in the 'real' world would have lost custody of her kid. she needed to grow the hell up. and howard k? he's a letch. when was the last time he actually was anything BUT a wanna be hub to anna nicole?

71. Regardless of how many of us feel about Rosie O'Donnell, let's remember that there is an innocent 5 month old child out there who doesn't belong to anyone right now! Her mother is dead and her father has yet to be determned. My heart goes out to that poor little angel. I don't much care for Rosie myself, but for now, my prayers are with little DanniLynn. I'm sure she misses her Mommy and to have someone as UGLY and greedy as Howard K. Stern claiming to be her father, oh my God! That's what gets me about these stars; they f**k around, get knocked up and then decide to play games with the life of the innocent who they carry! Do they not realize that these children will grow up someday and feel like crap because their mother screwed around so much!

Please pray for little DanniLynn. Anna Nicole is dead, may she rest in peace, because she certainly left a mess for her baby behind. If Howard K. Stern were any kind of attorney, he would have INSISTED that Anna Nicole make out some kind of will naming him as her baby's legal guardian, regardless of whether or not he is the father. I think the dude is in it for the money. He doesn't care one iota about that poor little girl. And by the way, isn't it strange that he was present when both Anna Nicole AND her son Daniel passed away? Coincidence? I think not!

So forget Rosie for the time being, pray for the baby that was left behind with all this crap to have to deal with later in life. God bless the child.

72. Wake Up people what rosie is using I s called a Metaphor which means Anna's FAME was large like A balloon!

If you dont have the right people around you to hold the strings to ensure you dont go off course and loose balance like addiction to alcohol, having people around you a tight nit group you can trust.

Everbody Is shocked about Anna!

She was the Media punching bag and now I am sure everyone is feeling It now! Someone could have helped her! :(

73. GO ROSIE!
I would rather listen to a fat gal with a big mouth than a couple of skinny freaks on drugs. Rosie is justs saying what everyone thinks, god for her.

74. Kalona,
YOU R SO FULL OF SH*T! If you had been following this story at all, you would know that HKS (THE A**HOLE OF THE YEAR) controlled anna like apuppet. Of course he wasn't stoned he had to stay lucid so he could controi anna and more importantly "HER MONEY!" Why the hell didn't he put her in rehab if he cared so much about her? well i'll tell you, it's becouse he wanted to keep her under his thumb and away from Larry. If it wasn't for HKS anna would have stayed with Larry and they would have raised Dl themselves. HKS was after anna for 12 years but anna wasn't interested in him. (I can't imagine why?) the guy would walk into her home like he owned the joint and barge into her bedroom when she was with Larry, how sick is this guy? he couldn't stand the though of anna getting by without his greedy hand being able to get all over her money, so when she got pregnant he stepped up his plans and basically kept her stoned off her face and forced her to leave the country and isolate her in the Bahamas away from the people who really cared about her, including her mother; whom I think was willing to put the past in the past for the sake of the baby, and maitain his hold on her until she died. I believe HKS killled Daniel, Daniel was wise to him and disliked him with a passion. Anna was getting worse to, her speach was so slured and she could hardly string two words together in the end, he really did a number on her. Howard K Stern IS PURE SCUM< A GREEDY SELFISH A**HOLE WHO IS LOWER THAN DIRT. I hope he is found guilty of Daniels murder and locked up for life.
F*** U HKS!
