Rosie Slams "Idol" as Racist, Weightist

Rosie O'Donnell laid a smackdown on "American Idol" this morning from her perch on "The View," saying that "Idol" canned former contestant Frenchie Davis for her breast-baring snapshots, but kept current wannabe Antonella Barba despite hers -- because Davis is black and fat and Barba is, well, not.

"It's weightist and wacist," said Rosie, doing her best Donald Duck impression. Silly wabbit Wosie, ever heard of Wuben Studdard? Fantasia? Babwa wasn't there to comment.

Rosie, never one to hold back her opinions, also took time out during Hot Topics to blast "The Insider" for propagating the saga of 841-pound Renee Williams, who died yesterday from a heart attack.

347. Rosie is the epitome of worthless fat slag! What a monster of fatness she is. What a disgusting loud hog!

Weightism? What the heck is that?! Pointing out that someone is completely out of control with their gargantuan eating habits?

Will somebody please slaughter Rosie and feed a small hungry African village with the swaths of fat?

GAWD, she is gross!

349. Rosie is like a giant garbage truck with a giant eating disorder. On second thought, she is more like a humungous front-end loader with a lift-bucket mouth...no, no that's not it either. She is most definately like a thundering earth-mover filled with mountains of food that could be better used to feed the pretty people.

No, actually she is more like a planet swallowing comet of blubber!

350. I just googled the pic of the black 'Idol' contestant that Rosie is upset about. That woman is named 'Frenchie Davis' The pic is a disgusting bull-dyke picture of this woman with another disgusting bull-dyke in some sloppy fat lesbian embrase of fat gushing grossness. THAT is why they threw her off the show. There is no comparison with that picture to the pics of the hot white chick posing naked. One is pretty, the other is a big bowl of whale entrails. Rosie is sticking up for her dyke-sister. WHAT A COUPLE OF PIGS!

Get a life Rosie, you big fat pig!

351. Do any of you sound any better than Rosie, calling HER names and venting YOUR anger over the net? Thats like smacking a child and while telling them "don't hit your brother!" Whats makes us any better if we do the same things we are acusing HER of?
Every celeb is WAY over-rated... they have cameras in their faces 24-7... it's time we give it a BREAK!... dang... they put their pants on just like me... why are they any different?

TO ROSIE: If you ever read any of this... cause your comments are off on your blog... I think you do a lot of great things for kids and I think you are a good person, but with so much anger and animosity already in the world ... do we need any more? You shine so much brighter when you just be YOU.... Anger and Rage? Thats not you.... where's all that coming from?

353. Thank go that stupid little twit is gone!!!!

354. Meridith is great on the Today show #380........and Matt is nice to her, yes. But I've always thought Matt was nice. I think Meridith is great.....she was great on The View becasue she handled hot topics with so much more class. She said what she thought but she also knew where to draw the line. I think she is just genuinely nice and nurturing and it comes thru. I can't imagine how she would deal with this if she were sitting on the panel with Rosie.

355. Well the big "word" was dropped so the fix is in. I mean American Idol can not let that term be associated with them so an African American must win or face the wrath. Now, unfortunately, the winner will never really know if they deserved it.

356. The issue of Rosie being fat or gay is irrelevant. The fact is, she is speaking the truth; the producers of American Idol are RACIST. People keep on trying to sweep that under the rug by using Rueban and Fantasia as an excuse, but they won becuse of Americas votes, the producers had no say in that. What the producers did have say in was whether Antanella stayed or not, and the fact that she did stay and Frenchie didn't is straight up RACIST.
