Lets Get This Party Started
Rosie -- I Wuz Fired by Babwa

So, yes, it was on stage at a comedy club, but Rosie O'Donnell made it clear what she thinks happened to her at "The View."

Rush & Molloy report that when she took the stage at Roseanne Barr's set at Comix the other night, Rosie began her bit by saying, "When I was fired by Barbara Walters," which isn't what they politely told the world back in June. Then, they claimed it was a mutual decision.

In the Dept of TMI, Rosie also joked that she and Babwa were so close when she started that Walters recommended she use Astroglide. We'll just stop right there and let that roll around in the public's collective consciousness.

Owen Wilson – Back in the Game


Owen Wilson is back and shaggier (and healthier) than ever, appearing with his castmates at the L.A. premiere of "The Darjeeling Limited."

Wilson took the stage with co-stars Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman to talk about the movie, and director Wes Anderson said of him, "I've never made a movie without him and I hope I never have to." It was Wilson's first professional appearance since his reported suicide attempt in August.

16. I love Owen and I'm so glad to see him feeling better, but it's time he made a statement to his fans. Other people are talking. Wes Anderson was recently quoted as saying (about Owen's attempt),"...but being to death is not an accurate description of what he experienced." Really? Then what DID happen? Has it all been overexaggerated while I (and others around the world) have been distraught over the sitaution? If Owen feels up to attending movie premieres, he can release a statement to his fans or even (holds breath in anticipation) give an interview.

17. Who cares if she was fired, as long as she's gone?

20. TMZ...you are a good diet incentive. I don`t want any breakfast now that I just saw that not so flattering pic of Ho Ro.
Is there such a thing as a flattering pic of her?

21. Rosie is such an attention whore. The view is great with Whoopi, I have almost become a regular viewer something I would have never have thought I would be. WG is fab. I don't think Rosie can stand that the show is doing well without her and everyone seems to have moved on.....except her. Why else would she keep stirring the pot with such old news?

She needs to get a life, a real one and stop being so hateful and mean spirited towards people. Enough already, grow up.

22. Being fired has to be difficult for a liberal or a conservative to deal with. But, at least Rosie is finally "man" enough - Ha! - to tell the truth for once.

25. Actually, I have renewed respect for Barbara Walters--I'd wondered what she was thinking keeping Rosie--and maybe that her mind had become a little foggy!

She should have told Rosie to disappear quietly and not denied the firing!!

27. Rosie Fired!!!! YEAH!!! YEAH!!!

Hilarious! Totally fitting that she would be fired just like Star Jones-Reynolds. For real: who the hell cares!!!!

28. Normally I hate everyone, but Owen Wilson is one nice guy and has a good heart and it's good to see him getting back into the game. He's about the only non-douchebag person in Hollywood.

As for Rosie, they should pump her stomach to get rid of the tampons in it. She'd look a lot thinner.

29. I have always loved Owen Wilson and wish him the best for a speedy and healthy recovery from whatever it is that he is suffering from. He is a very talented and grounded actor, he deserves the best!! We love you Owen and hope to see so many more movies from you, you are a very talented man. God Bless you.........and hang in there!!!

30. Barbara Walters stated after Rosie had left that "a contract not being renewed is the same thing as being FIRED". They both said all along that Rosie's contract was NOT being renewed by ABC. Barbara told the truth in that statement BUT when he she said she did not say what Donald Trump said she said about Rosie when Rosie was still on The View, Barbara LIED. Barbara did not think that Donald would quote her. Rosie holds nothing back and she is just too much for morning TV. I don't agree with everything Rosie says but what she says she believes is the truth. Truth is too much for the catty little women of The View, Bill Getty, and ABC. Rosie was making jokes at the comedy club with Roseanne. TMZ , you quote her like she is testifying in court. GIVE HER A BREAK, TMZ. I hope Rosie gets a show on cable where she can be herself. ROSIE ROCKS!!!
