"Idol" Blocks Rosie's "View" -- No Clips for You!

"American Idol" is retaliating against Rosie O'Donnell and "The View" by forbidding the gabfest from showing "Idol" clips, after Rosie slammed the world's biggest TV show one too many times.

As is their habit, Rosie and the "View" crew started to talk about last night's "Idol," but had no video to go with it. Ro explained the lack of footage was because "Idol" was unhappy over her slamming of the judges, her suggestions about Paula's "possible inattentiveness," and her accusations of racism and sizeism on yesterday's broadcast.

Sagacious den mother Babwa put it best: "You don't insult them with your left hand and ask for favors with your right." And Joy suggested a solution for the problem -- putting an on-screen Ro-Screed disclaimer that warns, "Rosie's views are Rosie's."

151. Rosie is going to self destruct one of these days.....it's only a matter of time....just sit back and watch!! Maybe she needs to hang upside down for a few hours a day.....ha....maybe she wouldn't have as much rage. She just goes from one person to another to slam. What makes her the perfect woman? Does she ever have anything positive to say? I used to like watching The View.....I love Elizabeth....she's such a breath of fresh air.....but now I can't stand to watch it.....I don't even know why the other women are even on there....b/c the entire show consists of Rosie's rants....blah, blah, blah....keep talking Rosie....b/c noone is listening!! Boycot "The View"....it's the only way they are going to get the hint!!

153. Rosie should not be able to make a living (rather lucatrive one) opening her pie hole. The view has to tire of her comments and the effects of them sooner or later then she can figure out how to support herself by shutting up!!!!!!!!!

154. I love the View since Rosie arrived. She has the right to her opinions or rather views which is the point of her show. Not everyone agrees with her and that is ok. We all have that right. I can't stand the stupid Elizabeth chick. Like who is she to be on a talk show? A reality nobody. But, whatever. I disagree with her everyday, but recognize she has the right to her thoughts. Rosie speaks my thoughts 99 percent of the time and I love her. How childish is it for everyone that disagrees with her to always go to calling her a fat whatever? It is like gradeschool in here. I totally agreed with Ro about AI in her first comments. Not so much on the racist thing. But, it is curious why one got kicked off and the other did not. Just my views!

155. It must be great to be Rosie and sit on the throne handing down her judgements.
The THRONE is where she belongs so she can flush her opinions down the drain where they belong!!!

156. Well all I can say is everyone has there on opinions and I think Rosie just was voicing hers. That is what that show that she works on is about. You either agree or disagree.Also is'nt that what American Idol is about the judges voicing there opinions and alot of time people don't agree with their opinions so I don't know why American Idol have their pants in a bunch about her opinion.

157. Rosie O makes me sick! She's got something negative to say about EVERYTHING! Now she is bashing the most popular TV show in history. She is really treading on thin ice,I mean THIN! There are millions more people that enjoy American Idol than looking,and listening to her big mouth everyday. Gregg Moore

159. To the ROtund supporters. She's not saying what everyone is thinking. Read the posts here. You are a minority. She's saying what's on the small minded people of the world are saying Not the intelligent ones. When Elizabeth (who I could care less about) went to speak her mind ROtund insulted her. That's not letting others have their view. It's all about her and her opinion and no one elses. I wish she would just recognize she's depressed and rambling about nonsense. You can't just go around callling people racist and weightist. Frenchy posied for profit Antonella did not. Bottom line. I was hoping she got voted off and she did. Thank God. I liked Frenchy and NOT Antonella but right is right. Plus Antonella's were not posted on a website UNTIL she made AI and someone was jealous and wanted to slam her. Probably her "Good Friend" that was on the auditions with her. She was looked down on Antonella and gave her polite comments on camera and did this behind her back.

Also ROtund fans answer me this. Why can't you post to ROtunds site? I'll tell you why if she read all that's written about herself she'd implode on herself. She only wants to hear one view HER OWN. NO ONE ELSES. And her idiotic followers such as yourself are just mindless drones. Go follow her like Lemmings off the cliff.

I can't wait and I'll have a party the day she finally goes off her rocker. And I bet Kelly will get herself another girlfriend without all these mental issues after ROtund goes into the looney bin.

160. granted, I'm not a big Rosie OR Trump fan, but I used to be a big View fan, and I think Rosie started losing it when she attacked The Donald...now she thinks she can attack who ever she pleases and there won't be any recourse..ie Kelly Ripa, AI...I am a huge AI fan and agree I'm glad AI stood up for themselves, and while I think everybody has a right to talk , who died and made Rosie everybody's voice....

163. "THE VIEW" USE TO BE INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING... WITH ROSIE, BLAAAA

164. Rosie has her views and that's good. But when she blocks others from having views or using her bully tactics to make them look small when they do offer opions that is bad. Bad TV and bad reality. She's as bad as the people she attacks.

165. "The View" is dying. Rosie is killing it.
