Rosie’s New Show and Madonna’s New Vows

Rosie O’Donnell is headed back to TV. A little more than a year after she got into a wicked war of words with her fellow co-host on ABC’s “The View,” and subsequently walked away from the daytime chatfest, the outspoken actress turned craft queen is closer to sealing the deal with NBC to star in her own show. According to reports, execs at the peacock network are game to give O’Donnell a chance to strut her stuff on a series that has been compared to “The Carol Burnett Show” and “The Ed Sullivan Show.” O’Donnell’s primetime deal is not set … Continue reading →

Star Blasts Barbara–She Said WHAT?

I think Star Jones’ weight loss has gone to her head. Either that or she accidentally lost a few brain cells when she trying to shed pounds in her mid-section. You’d think after all that the former “View” co-host has gone through in the public eye during the last few years she would have learned that keeping her mouth shut (and not just around food) can be quite beneficial. Unfortunately, the world learned today that Star Jones has yet to learn how powerful silence can really be. Less than 24 hours after her former boss Barbara Walters (you know, the … Continue reading →

Celeb Updates: Star Sightings, Dinosaur Dung, and Bitter DWTS Star

STAR SIGHTINGS Pictures surfaced this week of a fit looking, divorce filing Star Jones riding a Zipline in Costa Rica. However, while the former “View” co-host was coasting through a sweltering hot tropical jungle back in this country the man who is rumored to be her new love was sweating it out on national TV. NBA player Dwyane Wade was put in front of a firing squad during TNT’s show “Inside the NBA.” Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith put the heat on the Miami Heat guard peppering him with questions regarding his rumored romance with Jones—-a woman nearly 20 years … Continue reading →

It’s Over!

A number of celebrity couples are headed for splitsville, which in and of itself is not that newsworthy given that divorces are a dime a dozen in Tinseltown. However, when you are talking about a celeb who made sure her wedding was the talk of the town long before (and well after) she walked down the aisle you know tongues are going to wag. Yes, it’s true; the romance is over for Star Jones and her husband Al Reynolds. According to the former “View” co-host (who characteristically decided to release a statement to TV’s “Entertainment Tonight”), she filed divorce papers … Continue reading →

Is Rosie Trying To Ruin “The View?”

One might come to that conclusion after noting the former “View” co-host’s timing in releasing excerpts from her new book. And beyond that, the controversial jabs she takes at her former boss Barbara Walters. Oh where to begin… Rosie O’Donnell recently penned a new book called “Celebrity Detox.” (It’s scheduled for publication next month.) In it the comedian speaks out about her tumultuous tenure of “The View” (including her bitter feud with real estate mogul Donald Trump) and her relationship with each of the ladies she sat next to at the “Hot Topics” table—namely show creator Walters. Let’s just say … Continue reading →

Coming Clean—Maybe

It was a “hot topic” on the show she formerly co-hosted, but now Star Jones Reynolds says she wants to extinguish the fanfare that surrounded her dramatic weight loss. The talk show host has decided to write an article for Glamour magazine in an effort to set the record straight. “I wrote an article because I really wanted to go as in-depth as possible about the way I’ve changed physically over the last 10 years on the air,” the 45-year-old criminal justice reporter recently told media reps while promoting her new Court TV (soon to be truTV) talk show. “And … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Rosie and Katie

Many people (mainly those in the media) are wondering how Rosie O’Donnell is faring in the days since she told executives at “The View” she didn’t plan to return to the show on Tuesday—or ever! (Okay, she didn’t say “ever,” but you have to wonder will all the bad blood that was spilled during her war of words with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck if Rosie will indeed return to the show as a guest to speak on issues such as autism and adoption as she promised a few months ago.) Personally, I don’t know why members of the media are speculating … Continue reading →

Rosie vs. Elisabeth—The Aftermath

I saw it. In a strange turn of events I actually caught the on-air brawl between “View” co-hosts Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, which transpired Wednesday. If you missed the dust-up, basically the crux of the argument was rooted in the fact O’Donnell had unresolved feelings regarding Hasselbeck’s failure to defend her when media outlets suggested that she had called U.S. troops “terrorists” during a previous on-air debate. Midway through the heated exchange, O’Donnell called Hasselbeck “cowardly.” “What you did was not defend me. … I asked you if you believed what the Republican pundits were saying – you said … Continue reading →

Ciao Rosie!

The fact that CNN is calling the report “Breaking News” says a lot about the state of our world, doesn’t it? It’s the news some knew would be coming and others hoped would be coming (Donald Trump and Co.)—Rosie O’Donnell will be leaving ABC’s “The View” in June. I just watched the controversial co-host announce her departure live on “The View” and she didn’t seem to be upset about it at all. According to O’Donnell, she wasn’t able to agree on contract details with ABC (she says they wanted her to sign a 3-year deal and she only wanted to … Continue reading →

Star Jones Reynolds Returns To TV

She took a hike when she learned that she was getting the boot, and now Star Jones Reynolds says she’s ready to make her big comeback. You’ll remember last June Reynolds made her now infamous exit from daytime’s chat fest, “The View” in true diva-like fashion. (To recap: Last spring, the 44-year-old co-host was told her contract was not going to be renewed, but she beat producers to the punch by announcing she was quitting. The move angered show creator Barbara Walters, and Reynolds was banned from the program.) Now Reynolds is returning to TV as host of her own … Continue reading →
