Rosie O Donnell rips the Letterman show
Tue Apr 26, 5:34 PM ET
If there was any doubt the Queen of Nice had officially abdicated her title, we submit this.
The formerly friendly Rosie O'Donnell, who has waged several public battles over the past few years, has now turned her venom on a new target--The Late Show with David Letterman.
O'Donnell says she has turned down an invite to appear on the show to plug an upcoming project. Instead, she posted a poetic polemic on her official blogosphere site onceadored.blogspot.com.
In the blog entry cum poem, she blasts the show and executive producer Rob Burnett for a slight she claims to have suffered more than five years ago, when she offered to take on guest-hosting duties when Letterman was undergoing heart-bypass surgery.
The gist of her beef is that she told CBS overlord Les Moonves that she would be happy to sub for Letterman while he was hospitalized in January 2000. She claims she called Burnett, who in turn allegedly slammed her for sneaking behind his back.
Per her grammar-challenged, e.e. cummings-aspiring blog entry, it went down like this:
"hello rob i said and off he went: how dare i try to steal daves gig by calling les 'you are not a friend of the letterman show - rosie.'"
Burnett says he is surprised by O'Donnell's ire. "I don't know how to respond to something that never happened," he told the New York Post. "And the last thing I want to do is get into a fight with a powerful celebrity who has a blog read by tens of people."
Because of the perceived diss, O'Donnell won't make the trip to the Ed Sullivan Theater to promote Riding the Bus with My Sister, the Hallmark Hall of Fame special she will be appearing in Sunday on CBS costarring Andie MacDowell and directed by Anjelica Huston.
"i don't see how i can, i doubt i would be comfy," she writes, "as the 'you are not a friend of the letterman show' tape would run on a loop as daves mouth moved and i heard the charlie brown teacher waa waa waaa."
Lest O'Donnell seem overly angry, she did end the entry with a shout-out to Letterman himself, giving him props for being a good father to son Harry.
"i like dave, i wonder how he has changed, since his boy arrived from black and white to color, life, i know he grew a new heart, with harry."

She went from mediocre comedienne to super popular cloying talk show host to bitter bulldyke. All those phases and she was never funny or relevant. Go figure.

"So Dave, you'll be out for a few weeks...Cosby and Seinfeld have volunteered to host the show in your absence...but, you know, we could ditch those two and go with Rosie O'Donnell!"

She doesn't have the talent contained in David Letterman's 58th pube, why the hell does she think she would even have a chance in hell to get Late Show as a permanent gig? Time to get your head out of the crotch, bitch!

The previews for it are just hilarious...she has Downs Syndrome, so talks different. With any other person, it might work, but with that fat bitch doing it it's just funny as hell, showing how far she has sunk.

It's really hard not to laugh at that picture. I'm sure even real retarded people are embarrassed at how ridiculous she looks.
She's on Leno tonight if anyone cares, according to interbridge. It'll be interesting to see if she mentions her tiff with the Late Show. I remember the last time I saw her on Leno she did a yoga pose with two chairs and I kept hoping she'd fall on her face and put a big crack in his stage. Yes, I'm cruel like that

Everybody on this forum knows that their mom's will be watching this. ;-)
Seriously, is this showing on Lifetime? That's the only place I can picture this film being on.
