Rosie: I Actually Auditioned for "Price Is Right"

Not only did Rosie O'Donnell come on down and meet with CBS execs to discuss taking over Bob Barker's orthopedic slippers, TMZ has learned she actually had to audition for the job and even filmed a "Price Is Right" test show. Do you know who I am?!

Rosie made the revelation during a crowd-pleasing twenty-minute standup routine on the L.A. stop of the Human Rights Coalition's True Colors tour on Saturday. The outspoken Democrat joked that one of the reasons the "Price" gig didn't happen was because she ad-libbed the line, "Don't forget to spay and neuter your Republicans." Arf!

O'Donnell's good friend, '80s popstar Cyndi Lauper, created the tour in order to raise awareness of issues and discrimination faced by gays and lesbians. The show featured musical performances by Cyndi, Erasure and Debbie Harry among others.

A source at CBS told TMZ that, to their knowledge, Rosie did not do any "Price" test shows.

I am really, really trying not to hate Rosie O'Donnell, but I am finding it very hard. She is disgusting in every way. I cannot imagine that someone would find her physically attractive, (that she could find someone who would let her touch them, and maybe touch her, OH GOD) she lies like a dog, her children look pathetic, she obviously is mentally ill, has no credibility whatsoever, and is one of the most bitter, hateful and belligerent human beings walking the planet. I can really find absolutely nothing good about her, except maybe that she gives to certain charities. She literally makes the bile rise in my throat as I detest everything she is and stands for. To my knowledge, she never killed anyone, but she's right up there in the running with O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, and others for biggest FREAK of all time. Goodbye Rosie, you make me so sick I can't even comment on you any more.

21. THIS REPUBLICAN LIVES TO SEE YOU DIE, ROSIE. You should have been an abortion and today you are an abortion who looks like a fat abomonation. You are not the least bit attractive nor are you someone anyone listens to anymore. Trump was right, you know how to lose fans and make foes their friends. Ugly inside and out, Rosie is.

22. Ugh. I don't think you can believe a word that comes out of her mouth. She's really gone off the rails big time. A looooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggg time ago in the late 1980's I thought she was funny, that's before she came down with what I like to call MJS, or Michael Jackson Syndrome where celebs get so famous and make enough money that they lose touch with reality and believe their own hype. Many unfortunate celebs have come down with this syndrome, soo sad.

I think CBS wouldn't bend over backwards for her ( MOVE TPiR to New York? Away from the Bob freakin Barker Studio?! HA-Ha! Yeah Right!) and so she had to save face somehow and said she turned them down. Now she's making up all this stuff about auditioning and taping? Well if she did then she must have done a crappy show so CBS passed!

I am bummed Cyndi and fhe forever smokin' goddess Debbie are mixed up with Rosie! Bleh!

23. Rosie must have foisted herself onto Cyndi Lauper's tour. All she could say after it was announce that she would be leaving "The View" was she wanted "to be in the sun" and "stay home with her family." Her family probably can't stand her either!

26. Rossie would only blab out the price of food before the contestants can say it.

27. The Price Is Right and CBS is surely too smart to ever ruin a revered show by hiring Rosie...Good Grief..I know Barbara Walters fell into the "ratings trap"...but surely TPIR is not even considering her....please tell everyone they never even interviewed her...I hope Kelly's family in Baton Rouge...are absolutely horrified about Rosie's actions and the welfare of the 4 children...instead of appearing on tv, they need to be checking on those children...maybe that was what they were doing so often during The View days...Good Luck to those 4 precious babies...I have 2 adopted children...I know the value of stabilitly...and rational behavior....bej
