Rosie to "Idol's" Lythgoe -- Blah, Blah, Blah

Posted Mar 8th 2007 10:20AM by TMZ Staff

Rosie O'DonnellRosie O'Donnell has just a couple words for "American Idol's" Nigel Lythgoe: Whatever, dude.

That, in effect, was Rosie's response to Lythgoe's stinging criticism, just a couple of hours after the "Idol" honcho called her remarks about his show "absurd," "ridiculous," "self-promotional" and "without thought or knowledge." On her blog at rosie.com, "The View's" resident firestarter had this to say [warning: spellings unchanged] --


what can u say really
from the coca-cola red couch

i call it as i see it
nigel l - sam r
same same same
1985 - 2007
blah blah blah blha
blha blha blah blha


Rosie appears to equate Nigel Lythgoe with Sam Riddle ("sam r"), the producer of "Star Search," where O'Donnell got her start by winning several weeks in a row.

16. Rosie roots on everybody. Obviously she is one unhappy person.
Rosie- why don't you go to a fat farm and work on yourself!
YOU ARE A MESS AND YOU ARE HARD ON THE EYES AND EARS
Barbara, do your show a big favor, and get rid of ROSIE! She is horrible, and MEAN!
SHE ACTS LIKE A ALLEY BULLY!!!!!!!!

17. Agree with 13. Can't believe Barbara Walters would associate with the likes of Rosie given Barbara's long and respectable career. Just don't get it???

19. Rosie will say anything to get attention. Hey Rosie, opinions are like assholes....everybody has one, and some of them STINK! What I don't get is why she thinks anybodys cares what she thinks. She must not be getting any or she's menopausal. Shut up, ya fat bitch!

23. How does she do it? She mocks Trump who is OK in my book now it's idol. Rosie really your no dime you look like those dyke chicks from the hood your style lacks your speech is impaired. She turned the View into the who hates rosie club. Honestly ro I use to like ya. Now I think your just one of those overweight women who is so unhappy with herself that she has to take it out on others. Join Jenny it works

24. I wish they would take that fat ass off T.V. forever and quit writing about her alltogether. It's just wasting time and energy . I thought Barbara Walters had better taste than that.

25. Rosie O'Tonnell opens her mouth yet again. It's amazing she could even be understood considering how that mouth is usually full of food. Rosie go back to the buffett and quit embarrassing yourself. That loud clicking noise you're hearing is your clock of fame counting off the last few minutes you'll be poisoning the airwaves with your sweaty blathering. You'll only have yourself to blame when you're asking people at the drive-thru if they want cookies with their Big Mac...

26. She did not spell Blah blha. Look again idiot! TMZ may be the dumb one.

27. I like Rosie and all, but I honestly do not understand why she goes through the effort to purposefully spell every word she writes...wrong. I visited her blog once and never went back. It is just too annoying trying to read that crap.

28. Rosie give it up!!! You must have nothing better in your life to do than pick on others. You're just a malicious BITCH...... With a big mouth. Can't wait till you are no longer on The View. You so deserve to be fired.... I no longer watch The View just because you make the show so low class!

29. I don't agree with Rosie, but I don't mind she has an opinion; however, what I do mind is the fact that any one who disagrees with her isn't intelligent or is naive and wrong. She was definitely wrong in her remarks concerning Americal Idol. It isn't racist or "weightest."
She needs to listen once in a while and recognize that she isn't always right and that other people has a right to their opinion without her criticism. I really do believe that she has really brought "The View" down. After all this show is suppose to be about everyone's view and not just her own.

30. well it is called the VEIW PEOPLE!!! and when is it a crime to say what you think. you all just did.
