Rosie Clams Up on Britney

The passionate, fiery, outspoken, relentlessly frank Rosie O'Donnell suddenly went quiet yesterday on one of her favorite topics, Britney Spears.


TMZ caught up with Ro as she came out of Comix, where she took in Roseanne Barr's show -- and even jumped in mid-act to do her own bit. But when we asked her about the popwreck on everyone's tongues, Rosie used that ever-trusty answer-avoidance technique -- the quick, loud, preemptive farewell.

Another Ro -- Roseanne -- had a bit more to say about Britney. "I'm gonna call her," said Barr. "She needs a mother." That thought should put a nice shiver through your bones.

16. Why would you all put the words Rosie and Clam in the same sentence, Now I gotta think about THAT!

17. Loudmouthed Rosie doesn't have an opinion on something? I don't think so. She just didn't have a big enough audience. Stick her in a studio where she can feel like the centre of attention and then watch her shoot her mouth off. As for Roseanne, she's had her own share of controversy but she had a fantastic show that spoke to blue collar ordinary working class people everywhere and she never got enough credit for her brilliance as a creator. She told Larry King not long ago that she felt she accomplished her life's dream, she had a hit show.

18. Someone ought to start making T-Shirts like that---a great line. "Save Britney save the world." or "Can Brit be saved?" Either would be good, it is sure the main topic of all the shows.

19. What do you expect? Every word she says is disected by the media, twisted, used for their own purposed. TMZ did you REALLY care about her answer, her thoughts? Absolutely not, you just wanted another thing to post on your site. It's not her responsibility to give that to you, especially in light of past postings you've done on her.

Just because you are a celebrity it doesn't mean you always have to be "on". She was coming out of a show, getting in a vehicle...if anything it's rude of you guys to just interrupt that and ask questions that you weren't invited to ask.

23. Which means.. 'Now that she lost the stinky crying kids I can date her. She's not sassy and brassy like Madonna for sure, but a good enough skanky rich substitute..'

25. Reply to piuntigailydnas: Rosie SMART - rofl - she doesn't have a brain in her head. I think the only reason she defendsBirtney is because she has the hots for her.

26. Rosie should keep her big fat mouth closed. Just jump on a plane and go to Iraq you fat cow!

27. Just what we needed; another Rosie sighting. And would it kill the woman to put on a little make-up? She looks like an unmade bed. Ugh.

28. Rosie like all liberals are dumb. I hope her book bombs like her tv show and her time on the view.

29. Reply to piuntigailydnas: Rosie is SMART - rofl. How can anyone make Rosie LOOK CRAZY when she alread IS CRAZY. She's on meds for her craziness and it still doesn't help. I think Rosie just defends her all the time because she has the hots for her.
