She got fired? I hadn't even heard about it.
you guys surprise me. I just knew there would be multiple threads about censorship. Make no mistake...this bull about "can't come to terms on a contract" is a cover and her firing was a direct result of her screwup yesterday at that media event she hosted in NY that Hillary went to..
She got fired? I hadn't even heard about it.
she screwed up an event? Do tell!!
BTW, now that shes fired, maybe we won't hear about the fat anymore.
Rosie finally went too far and the network said "enough!" She's an uneducated, idiotic, fat, bigmouth - good riddance to bad rubbish!
Too bad they don't get rid of that whole ing show. Christ is that annoying.

NEW YORK — Rosie O'Donnell has tossed off countless one-liners and quips in her career. On Monday, she had one line she said she never imagined she'd utter: "Please welcome Rupert Murdoch."
O'Donnell was hosting the New York Women in Communication annual awards luncheon at The Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan. Murdoch, the media mogul whose holdings include the New York Post and Fox News, was presenting an award to columnist Cindy Adams.
O'Donnell's shots at Murdoch started from her opening.
"This is a celebration of women who changed the world, and no one understands why Rupert Murdoch is on the dais," she said, adding, "I mean that in the kind, loving Post-like way, sir; it's delightful to see you in person."
She turned to the audience and finished, "I was looking for numbers on his head. There aren't any."
O'Donnell didn't say what Murdoch might have done to provoke her ire.
When Murdoch's turn to speak came, he just said, "Thank you, everyone, including Rosie."
Among the other presenters at the luncheon was Barbara Walters, who appears with O'Donnell on "The View."
"I would like to point out that Rosie's view is not always mine," she said. "I would like to say for the record that I am very fond of Rupert Murdoch."
The Matrix Awards honor women in communication fields. Among this year's winners were Joan Didion, Arianna Huffington and Meredith Vieira. Presenters included Martha Stewart, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Anna Deavere Smith.

Was Rosie O'Donnell fired from ABC's gabfest 'The View?' Did she quit? No matter a report from the newsroom at TMZ.Com says the loudmouthed talk show host is done with her stint as the resident shock jock at 'The View.' You won't have Rosie O'Donnell to kick around anymore. Reports came in on Tuesday night that insider were claiming she was out. Now a report from the Associated Press says that she is indeed done.
Rosie O'Donnell Fired, Quits? Report Says She Done With 'The View'
Rosie O'Donnell's stormy tenure on "The View" will be a short one. The opinionated host was unable to agree on a contract with ABC, and she'll leave the show in June.

"My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me," O'Donnell said in a statement Wednesday. "This has been an amazing experience," she said, "and one I wouldn't have traded for the world."
"I induced Rosie to come back to television on `The View' even for just one year," den mother Barbara Walters said. "She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year."

Get ready fore the speculation that she was forced out. She may have tanked Barbara Walters reputation in just one year
Don't ever talk smack about female college basketball players or billionaire media moguls. Didn't Rosie get the memo?
Score one for The Donald.
I induced Rosie to come back to television on `The View' even for just one year," den mother Barbara Walters said. "She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year."
No joke I at first misread vigor for vulgar.
Rumor has it that for all the nay sayers, Rosie's addition to The View has increased ratings because more people are tuning in. Is it because she's a whacko? Probably but the ratings don't lie.
So the rumor that you watch the show is true?
The fat pig wanted $10M a year. ABC said no way.
only $10M?!?!!? Damn, ABC, don't they understand that she has ONE mouth to feed?!?!?
So, is she fat or not? A lot of people seem to be on the fence about that.
Rosie is so fat she's on both sides of the fence.
That's wrong- but very clever.![]()
Rosie is so fat she pays double property tax for covering two properties.
Eh it, I was never good at the "yo mamma so fat" bs.
good riddance! they got rid of one fat (Star Jones) and replaced her with another. I got sick of listening about Rosie, and the most uninteresting fight ever (Rosie vs. Trump)
if she was fired, let the backlash begin though....
If Hollywood has the brains to cash in on this momentum someone is already putting together a buddy action comedy for her and Don Imus.
So what if she's fat? I'm sure Spurstalk is full of fatties....San Antonio sure is. There are perfectly nice, decent, good-hearted fat people all around. Being fat is not what makes her objectionable. It's the fact that she's a mean, loudmouthed, crass, vulgar, self-centered, egomaniacal that makes her so horrible. What exactly is her talent anyway? How did she ever get on television? Someone said something about....she used to be some kind of comedian?? Really?????
I wouldn't piss up her ass if her guts were on fire.
