What does Donald Trump's previous marriages and resulting children have anything to do with him owning Miss USA and making a decision if the current crown holder should keep her crown?? Is it just me or is Rosie getting dumber and fatter by the minute? She is so judgemental and has an opinion on everything! Here's my advice to Rosie, for your children's sake, sit down, shut up and consider going on a diet so you can see them graduate from high school. Poor kids are probably going to get beat up on the play ground because there mother has such a big mouth.

"Pauly Shore says on-stage punch was a hoax"? The real hoax was getting himself booked as a comedian.

LOL at this morning's paper's "Do It Yourself TV Christmas Movie" guide.
Though I have to add that the "picturesque MW/NE town (actually Vancouver)" should also be in economic depression so that Scrooge-like actor/actress learns the TMOC (True Meaning of Christmas) while trying to shut plant/build megamall/buy vacation home.

I think I'm on Rosie's side on this one. I think she's funny and right on. Also, what does her being fat have anything to do with it?

I thought Reese Witherspoon was from Nashville, Tennessee? How can she be moving "home" to South Carolina if home is Tennessee?
I saw on the news today that the Donald was suing Rosie for her comments. Kiss your pay check goodbye Rosie cause if there is one thing Trump knows a lot about it's lawsuits.

Didn't Brad do a Heineken commercial last year during the Super Bowl?

I agree that both Rosie and The Donald are big ego maniacs. However, I am amazed that in all the printed versions of Trump's rant on O'Donnell that I have read, they left out his threat to send over one of his friends to pick up Rosie's "girlfriend"--"which should be easy." Of all the nasty comments on both sides, that has to take the cake as totally inexcusable!
The whole exchange sounds like something that might be heard in a middle school lunch room. They both need to grow up.

Rosie has many BIG problems, Her mouth is too Big. She is rude..on the view no one can get a word in except her. You can take one look at her and tell she is unhappy with herself.It sometimes seems that gay people have a problem with other people in society.Rosie is jealous of pretty women who are thin..Thats a surprize!
You all created a monster A BIG month a BIG monster by buying or watching anything connected to her...Rosie shut the pie hole up for more than 10 seconds so somebody else can talk.. It may even help the green house affect.

The problem with Trump being a mentor to Miss USA is this...who is he to talk about morals?...been married w/child had an affair divorced, been married w/child had an affair divorced. HE IS NOT A MORAL CHARACTER. LOOK IN THE MIRROR TRUMP!
You're getting old and own up to it.
Rosie is right. You just can't look the facts as they are in your life. Your are not a MIRROR OF SAINTHOOD...TO BE A MENTOR! TO ANY YOUNG NAIVE GIRL!

When are they going to toss her off the air? Trump should buy the show and then say
"your fired"

Am i the only one here that remembers Rosie is a comedian? And I'm sure leno and letterman could make similar comments, and no one would say a thing about it? It happens to be Rosie, and yeah, she's loud and obnoxious, but The View hasn't been in the news every day because of Joy Behar or Elizabeth Hasselbeck. She's there to entertain and to garner viewers, and that's what she's doing. I'm sure Trump is just glowing with the attention he's getting right now, almost enough to satisfy his narcissism.

Dang, byoolin beat me to it. I thought the hoax was that there was an audience to see Pauly Shore.
The bottom picture in the Nicole Richie link is weird, but I can't quite put my finger on why that is. It's not that she's holding an already-opened box of Honey Maid graham crackers. It's not that she's awkwardly hunched over clutching two boxes of what appear to be donuts. It's not that her sidekick is wearing almost identical sunglasses. It's not that she's actually in a grocery store. It's not that the two are apparently perusing a display of sugar or some related baking ingredient (perhaps they think it's some sort of other white powder). Seriously, I can't figure out why this snapshot is bothering me.
While I yawned over the "big split" "news", I have to say that I totally respect Reese Witherspoon for getting out of Hollywood instead of staying and playing the Hollywood game while her kids are involved. She'll obviously continue to get good roles, and can do so from outside of LA. It would be nice to see some other young Hollywood people treat their careers and more importantly their families the same way.

anyone who admires rosie odonnell needs a little mental health themselves. anything she has a opinion on should be laughed at, but not for being funny , more for being ridiculous,

1. Sharon, technically, Mr. trump doesn't own Miss USA. She is just under contract.
2. Yes, Rosie and the Don are damp with self-love.
3. I am grateful for this flap and just hope it gets hotter and bigger until everything else looks like Chicken McNuggets in comparison. Well, that happened. I mean something even smaller.
4. This just might rob a millisecond Paris Hilton. I do feel for the Hoff though. (Not often, but he likes it that way on the dance floor.)
5. I could pick Miss USA out of a crowd blindfolded, before or after a drinking shenanigan. But let me take my time in the interest of accuracy.

I would cast Calista Flockhart over Nicole Richie to play Smeagol in the stage production of Lord of the Rings. Her wiry muscularity is somehow more menacing. This did need saying. Yes, it did. Yes. Did so.
Oh, it's just a talent I've had since birth, I try not to make a big deal out of it.

I admire Rosie but not in a "I want to be her love-slave kinda way." If I could "make it so" like Jean Luc Piccard, I'd have Rosie steal Trump's girlfriend. That would rock like a houseboat in a hurricane. And when Rosie's rockin, don't come a knockin.

Trump is a total jerk for responding to Rosie's overboard comments the way he did. Instead of responding to her statements with equally juvenile comments, he could have shrugged his shoulders and said Rosie Who? Perhaps that would have been too mature for the Donald.
By the bye, interesting about Miss Nevada USA losing her title due to inappropriate photos on the heels of Miss USA's indiscretions. Perhaps the Miss USA organization needs to screen its contestants a bit better.

Ah, Rosie and the Donald, a battle of egomaniacs. I say let's start Celebrity Boxing and let the 2 of them duke it out in the ring.
Barbara Walters really needs to have a talk with Rosie and tell her to tone it down a bit (well, a large bit!). Last I heard the View was not the new Rosie O'Donnell show. The few times I switch from Ellen to the View I have to switch right back. Too much Rosie all the time.
I have to admit though that I did rather enjoy hearing Trump talked about in less than reverential tones. He's a waste of time and energy also.
