Why Rosie Won’t Be Taking On Larry King

Isn’t it ironic? For months the peacock network has been courting Rosie O’Donnell for a possible primetime talk show to air on MSNBC. Then, less than a day after the acerbic comedian blabbed to the media about the pending deal, NBC pulled the plug on its offer. O’Donnell was spurned for speaking out of turn, but later laughed off the incident when speaking about NBC’s decision on her website. “Listen, I’m too old!” O’Donnell said with a chuckle. “When you’re young, you do those things. ‘Yes, I won’t tell anyone! Lock me in the NBC vault!’ ” So, here’s the … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Potpourri: Rosie’s Return and the “Dancing” Tour

ROSIE’S RETURN There’s no keeping her away. Rosie O’Donnell is ready for primetime. But are you ready for Rosie on primetime? While nothing has been set in stone, new reports confirm that the former daytime talk show host turned “View” basher is hooking up with cable news channel MSNBC to host her own show. According to The New York Times, O’Donnell is currently in discussions with MSNBC, but no deal has been inked. The paper says various scenarios are being considered including giving O’Donnell a primetime slot that would pit her show against Hannity & Colmes on FOX News Channel … Continue reading →

Barbara To Anne: “You’re a Buffoon For Marrying Laffoon.”

Don’t hold back Barbara… In a move that has made headlines in the entertainment world Barbara Walters took time yesterday to tell it like it is to Anne Heche. The actress appeared on ABC’s “The View” (which Walters executive produces and co-hosts) yesterday and had just gotten comfy on the couch with the rest of the ladies when Walters brought up Heche’s split from ex-husband Coley Laffoon. Walters, who has interviewed the “Men in Trees” star on several occasions didn’t waste time mincing words and blurted out: “I didn’t think that marriage was going to last.” A semi-stunned Heche asked … Continue reading →

Rosie & Barbara Far From Friends

Be careful what you tell Rosie O’Donnell. It’s a lesson Barbara Walters is learning the hard way. Last week, the former “View” co-host joined Roseanne Barr on stage at a local New York City comedy club and sang like a canary divulging some of Walters’s most intimate secrets. According to the New York Daily News, O’Donnell started off by telling the audience that contrary to popular belief, she was fired by the Emmy Award-winning journalist. The truth finally comes out. The revelation was a far cry from the glossy statement given by O’Donnell earlier this summer when she told the … Continue reading →

Helio says Hello to Single Life

Carefully calculated plan by a bitter blonde or just the way the cookie crumbles? That’s the question many are asking today following the weird way newly-crowned “Dancing with the Stars” champ Helio Castroneves announced his split from his fiancée, Aliette Vazquez. Okay, it’s the question I’m asking today. Just hours after Castroneves and his pro partner (and now two-time champ) Julianne Hough raised the disco-ball trophy in triumph on Tuesday’s “Dancing” finale (and I finished dancing around my house in delight) the couple hit the talk show circuit. First stop ABC’s “Good Morning America.” That’s where the 32-year-old race car … Continue reading →

Hot Celebrity Halloween Costumes

You’ve got your kids’ costumes ready, but what are you dressing up as this Halloween? Most adults turn to Tinseltown and the celebs who roam the famous streets of Hollywood for inspiration. Donald Trump’s infamous combover was once part of the hot Halloween scene, but not this year. According to a survey done by a leading marketing company, Halloween 2007 will be known as the Brangelina holiday. If you are attending a Halloween party expect to see plenty of couples donning spiky blond Brad Pitt-locks and plumping up their pouters Angelina Jolie style. The handsome duo ranks among the hottest … Continue reading →

Trump Stirs Up More Controversy

With Rosie O’Donnell recently announcing her departure from ABC’s “The View” you had to know that her rival Donald Trump would not remain silent for long. (I think it took him about 2.16 seconds to issue a statement after the news of her leaving was broadcast.) I’ll get to their ongoing battle in a bit, but first I wanted to clear up rumors about Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent appearance on Trump’s TV show “The Apprentice: Los Angeles.” For some reason I allow myself to get sucked into “The Apprentice,” season after season (this year was no different). On the March … Continue reading →
