Rita Cosby -- Macho, Macho Woman

Posted Apr 16th 2007 11:26AM by TMZ Staff

MSNBC star Rita Cosby hit the club scene in NYC -- and got her Y-M-C-A on.

The talk host joined original "Village People" star Randy Jones for a impromptu duet at NYC hotspot The Plumm, celebrating her recent departure from the cable network. The party was thrown by TimesSquareGossip's James Edstrom.

Sources inside tell TMZ that Cosby also sang a hilarious rendition of the theme song to the "Mary Tyler Moore Show." Sean William Scott from "American Pie" was seen applauding Rita's singing style.

Rita joins an elite crowd of celebs winging it at The Plumm, including Stevie Wonder, Guns n' Roses, Norah Jones, and Lindsay Lohan.

4. Rita has some massively beefy mitts and a voice that rivals only Barry White. Has anyone ever checked "her" for an Adam's apple (or any other spare "parts")? Lady is a straight up dude!!

11. One suggestion for Rita Cosby...COUGH!!!!! It sounds like she has a frog in her throat.

12. She is the most biased reporter. Hopefully HKS is bringing a lawsuit against her and MSNBC. She probably got hired to be Larry Birkhead or Vergie Arthurs PR representative! So glad to see her go.

13. I can't stand that woman's raspy voice. Hurts my lungs to listen to her so I don't.

15. Wonder if her departure from MSNBC was their idea. Would think so. Her reporting left a lot to be desired. Always quoting sources yet neve saying who her sources were and sometimes her information was at the least suspect. I think she showed her true character about her methods of gathering information in the Anna Nicole situation. It is one thing to attend the funeral on the coattails of Virgie A., but terrible bad taste and unethical to crash the private gathering at the house afterward saying she was invited by the home owner. How tacky.
