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.

61. Britney better be careful. O'Donnell is liable to put the moves on her while she is counseling her! This is all too funny. Can you imagine O'Donnell trying to counsel someone?

64. Doesn't she already have a mother.....................that she wants nothing to do with. Face it Britney fans, she doesn't want to be around people who will help/be a positive influence. It is really pathetic.

66. I was hoping the terroists would cut Rosies head off so we would never have to hear from her again we would be all be so happy if this would happen to her since she doesn't like to live in the United States anyhow and prefers the ways of the other Counties she should move their!

69. HEY ,Leave Brit alone I mean could you possibly imagine the stress of being the pop princess of our generation, a mother of two, and a sorry but husband like K funk or whatever his name is. Shes trying but people won't let her get better knowone will give her a chance to help herself. The photographers are there for her tears and breakdowns they eat it up , I mean how would you feel put in a status like that. Everyones trying to break her down. I feel for her and her family whatever happened to compassion?

71. Everyday TMZ gets more and more clueless - not to mention that they cannot leave Britney alone for one day either. Do we see anything about K-Fed and his partying and boozing it up and he HAS those kids? Heck NO! Do we see K Fed having manditory drug & alcohol testing and again, he has those kids? Hell NO! If either should be tested, it should be HI. And in person. None of this "well being the sample back in when you're finished" He could get anyone to do it. He's sly as a fox and damn strange to me, TMZ doesn't say a peep about him even since he has had full custody. Too busy stalking every moment of Britney's life. BTW -- You also can NOT judge a person because of some of the wilder things they did in their past. Another one of TMZ's wonderful habits. Roseanne, at this point in her life, if you LISTEN to her, makes a LOT of sense these days when speak about most anything. She would probably be a HUGE help to Britney as obviously her own mother hasn't staged any type of intervention. Where is she at, trying to promote the other daughter since Britney is not making the big money that she was so momma Lynne is busy with lil sis because her cash flow is down - not supporting her daughter in crisis. At this point in her life, I DO hope Roseanne calls on Britney. I believe that she can help her through a "mother-daughter" type relationship. Roseanne has gotten wise through the years whether her past was a mess or not. At least she even made the offer - no one else has. I hope thst she does follow through and calls Britney and I hope that Britney accepts her help. It could very well turn Britney's life around if she had a mentor whose life was once a huge mess herself. Say your worst, but I pray that it works out that Roseanne DOES help Britney through all of her problems now and I DO pray that Britney keeps her word about checking into rehab this weekend. Roseanne - you're an AWESOME lady to even bring that up. I bet you'd make Lynne Spears look like Mommie "I could care less I have Jamie to make me my money" Dearest!! My money is on IF Roseanne steps in, she WILL do Britney a world of good..and TMZ has to look at Roseanne NOW and not in the 1980s when SHE was a mess. TMZ ALSO needs to start going after K Fed instead of bashing Britney 7 days a week, 365 days a year... TMZ Do you have NO ONE else in Hollywood to pick on or is it a Britney fetish??? And they say that Britney is the one with "mental" problems.

Posted at 9:46AM on Oct 5th 2007 by You are so clueless-Roseanne would be PERFECT!

72. Ron, I hope that comment wasn't toward me I'm a 25 year old female with three kids of my own going through a very stressful divorce. I just wish people would see through all the garbage and look at the reality and cruelty of life and no I'm not fat

73. How do some of you folks sleep at night? There is an attractive and talented young woman who is in an obvious, downward spiral and desperately needs help. But, what does she get from the papparazzi and her (dubious) fans? She gets hounded 24/7. Her parents seem to be more concerned about the end of the gravy train than the well being of their daughter. The photographers are only concerned about a big payoff for sleazy pictures. I have a question for all the sleaze bloodhounds. Will you continue until she becomes the next Anna Nicole or Princess Diana? If that happens, hold your tears because you will have been guilty of feeding the frenzy that brought that to bear.

74. Rather than picking on Rosie, how about focusing on problems that are effecting so many people. There's a war going on in Iraq, people are losing jobs, lobbyists, insurance companies, etc, have politicians in their pocket. These are the real problems of today!!

75. These posts crack me up but I HAVE to respond to HG -- I'm sorry to hear you are going through a lot too. It's true, NO one has compassion anymore. I believe Ron's comment was probably directed at Roseanne.. calling her a fat loud mouth is SO very productive. Can't comment on the topic, let's call people names because I am so mature! People like him make me SICK. Don't worry HG, I am sure it wasn't directed at you. Roseanne is very wise in her older age. I think she would really HELP Britney at this point and be a true mother figure. She has been through it all already (other than TMZ didn't tear her a new butt EVERY day) Look at the headlineson the side - Briyney's Got trouble, Heidi pulls a Britney, Britney Rocks (not a good one), Britney lost her kids - the list goes on. TMZ will NOT Leave that girl alone and they will NOT go and haunt K fed though (Or go haunt a house, just leave Brit alone) I saw Brit is checking into rehab this weekend and she DID get her license..I hope she shows ALL the doubters and haters and I DO hope Roseanne can reach her. She'd be a better mom to Britney than Lynne ever was..she's a money grubber. Roseanne has been through it so she could help the most. Anyway, again HG - hang in there and my prayers are with you. Ihave been there and I KNOW it's very hard to go through.. you made a GREAT post too.. people are mean and not compassionate at all anymore. Take care!
