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.

61. Who gives a rat's ass about Rosie's depression????????? She's just trying to avoid looking like she's not the ugly, obnoxious, rude person she is and blame it on "depression". Hey, Rosie, can you imagine how poor Anna Nicole Smith must have felt like - having given birth at her age, her beloved son dies mysteriously, she was estranged from her family and alone and being controlled by a man who only cared about making money off her? No, because you're a selfish, whiny, controlling, big-mouth ass!! I can only imagine her at home: slob, demanding, whiny, controlling and probably lashing out at her "partner" and the kids she's adopted. No one else on The View talks about their sexual preference but her - she's constantly trying to shove her lesbian ways down the public's throats! I think there's a word for people like that and they're usually dictators - they think their opinions are the gospel truth. Heaven help us from people like her. Don't know why they don't just pay her off and get rid of her - I predict she'll never work again and she'll just keep getting fatter and more miserable - she is a walking example of a MISERABLE person who lashes out at anyone she's jealous of. Hey Rosie: Confession is medicine for the soul - take advantage of it.

62. I am convinced that she is receiving some kind of financial compensation for all of these outrageous comments. I believe that Trump and now Idol are padding her wallet to SPIN this like she has been.

63. Actually, Rosie lost on Star Search. Sam Riddle, the show's producer told her she was too tough and too much of a tomboy.

64. Since Rosie came out of the closet the former "QUEEN OF NICE" has become the biggest loud mouth BULL DYKE the media has ever seen.
I'm all for free speach but Rosie has consistantly created media drama since this LOUD MOUTH has come onto the View. For some reason she feels the need to get on her soap box and criticize everyone with any celebrity just so she can grandstand. I think Rosie is a screaming insecure fat slob that has self esteem issues and gets off on criticizing people so she can feel better about herself.

Rosie go back to where u been hiding all these years cause NO ONE really cares about your LOUD ASS MOUTH. Barbara Walters must really be kicking herself in the ass for ever bringing her on the View.

65. YOU PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT...................:
She gets paid to create controversy. She's outspoken, opinionated, activists, liked, admired, and respected among the american people she represents, and she's funny.
The View is a "Freedom of Speach" show. It's about VIEWS. It's about "FREDDOM OF SPEECH". Because of her attitude, this is her job. If you all watched the how before doing the samething that herein Rosie's being slammed for doing, and of course you all had some intelligence, you will get it. You will laugh, and you will move on. The more you talked about it, her and everything it reveals, the more ratings the show gets, the more advertisers eant to be exposed in that time slot and the more money they make.
You are all IDIOTS of the system, and this is why this board/blog exists.
What ever dudes!!!!!!

66. The View's ratings are way up now that Rosie is on there and the more publicity she gets by pissing everyone off, the better the ratings. Obviously we keep watching because we like the brew ha ha. But miss thang will be brought down if she doesnt cool it, cuz one day she will piss off the wrong person. What goes up must come down...and Rosie will be going down(not literaly).

68. I never understand why people post to holler at people who post .... save the middle man and holler at yourself because we don't care what you say. This is a free way someone can express their opinions.

On to Rotund, Why do you cause a lot of hoopla then only retort you have is a lame limerick and a whatever dude. OMG YOUR SO PROFOUND!!! Go after the things that are really important other than AI. Go after things like war, starvation, murderers, child molesters, and the likes. All she can do is spout out stuff about AI and it's judges. Oprah she'll never be. Hate or love Oprah .... she's doing something for people here and abroad. All ROtund wants to do is call names and run roughshot over people with her uneducated and ignorant accusations. And the best rebuttle???? Whatever Dude!! OMG ROtund YOU ARE SOOOOOO PROFOUND!!

Next time you do your inversion therapy ..... stay there!!

69. Why, why, why didn't Rosie go after that tranny-like, reich-winger, Ann Coulter. Is Annie, the trannie, too balsy for her?

70. What a whore! What a slob! What a pig! Somebody do the world a favor and shut her up!!! I hate Rosie.

71. Oh, Rosie! You can't spell, hell, you can't even write a complete sentence that makes sense. You are showing just how ignorant you can be. Combine that with making stupid statements and what do you have? Someone that needs to retire from the public eye. Rosie you do not belong on TV anymore.

72. I'm going to say this in such a way that Rosie O'Donnel can understand...

Mooo moo moo moomooooo mooo moo mo!
Moo moomoomoo moo moo "Moo moooooooooo moo!"
Moo mooooo fat dyke moo mooo. Moo, moo moo "Oink oink oink?"
"Mooooo!" mooooo, Rosie.

That pretty much sums the whole thing up.

73. I guess that Blah, Blah, Blah is the full extent of Rosie's limited vocabulary. That's about the extent of her diminished mental capacity and probably the far reaches of her intellect. Essentially, she needs to stop trying to promote herself with misinformed criticisms of everyone and everybody. Obviously she is a depressed, mentally challenged and very insecure person who finds it necessary to utilize reaction formation as a means of bolstering her own low self-esteem. She comes accross as nothing more than an obese, surly and low-life personality. Oh well! I guess it's what gives her the money in this capitalistic society. Obviously, that's all she cares about. Publicity, Publicity and more Publicity. Somebody needs to have the guts to shut her mouth. Maybe Donald can be the one to do so. Obviously, he is not someone to mess with. Perhaps she should also engage in a discourse with Simon Cowell. That would be a great show by itself. My hope ils that she descends deeper in to that contrived depression that is supposedly present and perhaps become catatonic. That would be a great victory for sanity.

Well i watch the view just to hear hot topics, i really like Rosie alot better than Elizabeth,BUT Rosie chill sweetie you talk a bit too much and the insults aren't as funny as you'd like them to be. Stay above the belt , and your low self esteem doesn't have to affect others negatively,Barbara W you have completely ,and officially lost my respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

75. TO ALL: The show is called "The View", listen to the opening credits, it'll tell you a lot. Barbara has NOTHING to do with what Rosie says, or anyone else for that matter, and most days isn't even present. Joy Behar is the reason i tune in daily. Her wit is lightning quick, and she doesn't seem bitter and argumentative, which seems to be Rosie's leaning. In my opinion, she needs to stop trying to look thru the perspective of "Fat" or "Gay" OR "race"...not all things are about that. Hey all, remember that the "Idol" show results are from the callers/viewers, and they can/do call repeatedly, and yes, it can and is a "popularity" contest, in spite of the judges constant reminders otherwise. I do think, most of the time it winds up right, or close to it, judge from record sales who the "real" winner is/was. What bugs me the most is that Rosie dumps on all these people and shows, singling them out and accusing them of being "racist, fatist, sexist" and then mocks people's own looks, such as she did with Trump, seems to me, to be pretty much what she bitches about others doing. Everyone knows his hair sucks, he even says so himself, but is stuck on the look, for whatever reason, and loves that everyone talks about his stupid hair. Her mocking comb-over, and pouting her lips to represent his small-mouthed speech, seemed, looked just as "lookist" as she grips about what other people do. If she doesn't want people picking on her for her weight and looks, then she should remember that when she grips about others. END OF STORY. -Reta
