"Idol" Producer Slams Rosie, Defends Show

31. Rosie starts fights every week and it's getting old like Babwa Wawa! No one will fight her because she'll just sit on them anyway. What a way to go - deceased due to a fat-depressed celebrity-hater sat upon...Well at least she can't crie homophobia because word is Nigel is gay! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

32. Rosie is a slovenly pig who gets attention with her crazy comments. The View used to be a classy show.

33. Rosie is so bad she brought Barbara Walters down to her level. She is a failed freak and she is a loud mouth who should never be heard. He is right. Idol is a success, but she wants to go after after success to get noticed. I noticed her, and she is a pig, a slime.

34. Does Rosie O'Donnell ever keep her big mouth shut??? All she ever does is start crap with one person or another. I think she is a big mouthed bitch

35. American Idol is racist and weightest I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ROSIE however you cannot only blame Idol, the viewers LIKE ALL OF US WHO WATCH THAT LAME SHOW WHEN NOTHING ELSE IS ON , are to blame as well who do you want to see a beautiful girl on TV or a fat ugly one? My bet is on the beauty we are so superficial and we will never change because beauty sells ugly smells it is truth.

36. The FAT Chick was on a porn site and got paid.

Antonella was not paid for what she did, nor was it a porn site.

Rosie is nothing but a big fat carpet muncher that needs to get laid by a man to get rid of all that pent up rage. But, the problem is, what man would want a fat slob like her?

37. The time has past when the removal of Rosie would have helped The View. Just by keeping her on the show and allowing the garbage that flows from her mouth to be aired has lost the show any of the credibility that it once had. It is sad that she speaks without thought and is probably the most miserable person I have heard on TV. Please won't someone muzzle this woman.

38. Farrah, votes for the Idol contestants are made by viewers for the Idol contestants, so the show isn't racist; I guess all of the callers are racist? Must be a conspiracy. So, how do you explain Rueben and Fantasia becoming successes? Or, how about trying to explain how that screamer no talent Hudson has become a success? You and O'Donnell are both mentally challenged in your assessments about Idol, and everything else. O'Donnell hates heterosexuals, and you, well, you hate everyone, regardless of race and color. Racists? Your term "cracker" is just as insidious and racist as the "n" word.

41. Wasn't Frenchie kicked off because she took those pictures specifically for posting them on the web and made money off them? She sold her naked bodies image for cash.

I'm not a fan of Antonella Barba; the girl can't sing and she's full of herself. But as of right now, as far as anyone knows, the pictures posted of her were pictures taken with her friends, not for posting on the web. They were private photos not taken for cash. She did not sell her naked body image for cash.

This is what I believe is the difference. Granted I could be wrong. I think Rosie needs help, she's nutty, but then again she always has been this opinionated biatch from massapequa. Rosie needs to take a lesson from Ellen DeGeneres and Melissa Ethridge, there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian but comport yourself with dignity and decorum. BE BETTER THAN OTHERS, BE HUMBLE, SET A GOOD EXAMPLE! The world needs people like this.

In the end, Frenchie wins, because she has talent and will have a half-way decent career on Broadway. Antonella is doomed to Girls Gone Wild or Playboy.

Ana ... this was just my humble opinion

42. I agree with #30. Rosie has brought Barbar Walters, a formerly respected newswoman, down to her level. It's sad to think Barbara's career will be remembered for being associated with a pig like Rosie.Rosie is a unkempt slob. Don't call me homophobic, as I think Ellen has more class in her sneaker than Rosie has in her entire 300 pound bod.

43. I actually agree with the idol insider they interviewed. Frenchie's photos were for money. When she had them taken, she knew they were going out there for the public to see. Antonella's photos were distributed by (ex) friends, unbenknonst to her, and I'm sure against her wishes. If they dredged up dirt on every contestant, they could surely find something that the American public would disapprove of. Underage drinking, sex, etc. They've all done it. We've all done it. The difference was the Frenchie did it publicly. Good lord, Rosie. If American Idol were weightist, then Ruben never would've won, let alone made it to the Hollywood round. And as far as racism, I've really never seen any hiints of that on Idol. That being said, I'm sure that the AI producers keep a couple of the "prettier" contestants around just to boost ratings. That is the only thing that explains why Sanjaya and Antonella have made it that far. But that does not warrant the tirade that Rosie went on.

44. Oh please! If these pictures were so "private", how could they have been leaked without Antonella's permission? We all know that she had them leaked. Good move, too,because she's at the top of Yahoo's search.
American Idol producers can't be stupid enough to think that people don't leak their own stuff for attention.

45. I wish I could meet Rosie in person, so I could throw eggs at her.
