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

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.

31. With each passing day, The View becomes nothing more than "Jerry Springer Lite." Baseless, inflammatory, and uninformed opinions tossed out ONLY for the sake of ratings. Or on the ohter hand, if these really are the true feelings and opinions of Ms. O'Donnell, then she has absolutely no business on ANY tv show spouting such ignorance.

ABC execs and Barbara Walters claim that ratings have risen since Rosie's arrival. But have they risen because people think the show is really better, or is it the same instinct or reaction that makes us watch or gawk at a car accident? I vote for the "car accident" mentality, and what does that say not only for ABC, but also about those who watch?

32. I am sure nobody in the respective camps are unhappy about Rosie's ignorant comments because the commotion she created is keepimg the show and Rosie herself, unfortunately, in the spot-light. An ad agency cound not do better in keeping this pot on a high boil. It's all abount show-business.

34. Rosie is looking to make everyone as depressed and miserable as she is. This is typical behavior from someone with a multitude of insecurities.

35. I stopped watching the view after Rosie came into the picture. She is rude and a hypocrite! She wants to say whatever she thinks about anyone.. slamming people for supposidly doing the same thing she is doing to people day after day. There is no dignity left in this show. Barbara use to be one of the women I admired most, not anymore! She is going ratings over good taste and just plain common decency. The view has become a glorified "Jerry Springer" type show. I use to like Rosie when she had her own show and showed fellow stars love and respect, now it's all about "who can she slam to get attention about".

36. Rosie, the fat, lard a$$ bag of hot rotten smelling fart wind as open her mouth and let garbage out again.

Just think that she likes this attention, even if it is negative attention. She is talentLESS, and boring. Her show didn't work, so she bullied her way way on to the view. So now they can say they have three females and one male on this panel, as she has more testosterone that a linebacker. But let's get back to a panel of women where there are 3 LIBERAL and 1 CONSERVATIVE-CLASSY women, and get rid of the one male on The View

Also to Stella, it's not like the show keeps on the "talentless bimbos". The first wave are whittled down by the three judges from the millions that try out, then the ones that go to Hollywood, then the 24. It is the callers who vote off. And thanks to a bunch of goof balls who want to ruin the show they have started a VOTE FOR THE WORST campaign. They think it is very funny that a mediocre singer stays longer than a better singer. What they don't realize is that they may be sabotaging a career for the better singer. But those callers have no conscious. And then they give false hope to the mediocre and bland. Why else would Antonella, who must know, that she "just isn't good", argue with the judges, and say "Simon was wrong about Jennifer Hudson".

Note to the marginal talent who keeps saying that........................Simon didn't vote off Jennifer Hudson, or anyone in the show once they get to the top 24. America VOTED THEM OFF. (That's where the monkey wrench from Vote for the worst comes in. Stop blaming Simon. Record your singing, then listen, you may not be as good as your friends say (who are egging you on to make a fool of yourself).

40. You Jackasses ought to think about the fact that our guy's are DYING EVERYDAY so selfcentered people like her can speak freely and stand to look at herself in the mirror. God forbide you speak out against the guy who sent us there tho, you'll be on his hit list and here comes the Tax Man! Something is going on and it's a hell of alot more important than Rosie or 'Am.Idol...

41. BARBARA I would not accept to work with ROSIE if I were you... I would not even want to sit across from from her, next to her, or in the same building...

42. I feel sorry for Rosie. She is a sad sad person, who has lost her way in life. She needs to be heard, to get relief from the pain. If we stop listening, she will stop talking.

I went to her blog yesterday to see if I could understand her better. She is on there saying that the twin towers fell because of a bomb. She says the planes couldn't have brought them down that fast. This is clearly not the voice of a well read person, but one who must be involved no matter how little she knows.

It is true she is paid to give her view. We hopefully wish she knew what she was talking about.
