Rosie Responds to Barbara's Oprah Interview
Originally posted 05/07/2008 08:00AM
Rosie O'Donnell doesn't agree with everything Barbara Walters said about her on The Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday – but she's not holding any grudges.
"I love her," the former host of The View wrote on her Web site's Q & A page, when asked her thoughts on Walters's interview.
Still, O'Donnell used the forum to respond to several assertions made by her former boss.
For example, Walters told Winfrey that she thought O'Donnell "regretted" writing her 2007 book Celebrity Detox, and that was why she didn't promote the book.

Rosie O'Donnell: 'Leave Miley Cyrus Alone'
Originally posted 04/29/2008 01:30PM
Rosie O'Donnell has Miley Cyrus's back. She's taken to her blog to defend the Disney star after her controversial Vanity Fair photographs set off a surge of criticism.
"Leave Miley Cyrus alone," O'Donnell says in a video posted Monday night. "Disney [is] making her apologize. Ay yi yi."
While some have described the portraits as too risqué – and PEOPLE.com readers deemed them "inappropriate" for a 15-year-old – O'Donnell finds them beautiful, she says, explaining that working with celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz can be an intimidating experience.

Rosie O'Donnell Gives Up Alcohol
Originally posted 02/07/2008 11:15AM
Rosie O'Donnell is on the wagon, she says on her blog.
The former View host made the alcohol-abstinence revelation after telling one fan she'd shed pounds by giving up beer.
That prompted another to ask, "So, Rosie, alcoholic or not? Just spit it out! Don't go all Star Jones on us here. What led to you stopping the beer?"
O'Donnell posted back: "'Cause I was drinking too much, 'cause I didn't want to any more, 'cause it is hard to lose weight when drinking, 'cause I can never have only one."
Swearing off the sauce is "not easy," she added, "but I feel better."

Rosie O'Donnell Compares Britney to Princess Diana
Originally posted 01/15/2008 01:35PM
In what reads like a cautionary tale, Rosie O'Donnell, who before has risen to the defense of Britney Spears, is again back in the corner of the troubled pop star.
This time, O'Donnell, 45, suggests that being a paparazzi magnet could cause the 26-year-old singer to meet the same tragic fate as Princess Diana.
"There are only inches of separation between vulnerability and disaster," observes O'Donnell.

"Peace prevails" with Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O'Donnell, as O'Donnell confirmed to PEOPLE Thursday night that she has made up with her former foe – and even bought her a baby gift.
On her way into the premiere of The Little Mermaid on Broadway, O'Donnell said of Hasselbeck's 2-month-old son Taylor Thomas: "He's very, very cute. I saw him on TV, and I sent him a lovely gift, and [she and Hasselbeck] have been e-mailing each other. And peace prevails."

Rosie O'Donnell Addresses Being an 'Annoying' Celeb
Originally posted 12/31/2007 03:20PM
Rosie O'Donnell is answering up to an online poll that found her the "most annoying celebrity."
"I, apparently, am the most annoying celebrity, according to Parade magazine," O'Donnell, 45, states in the video blog, made while in a swimming pool with two of her four children. "Frankly, most celebrities are annoying. So, I agree, celebrities are annoying. The fact that I am one is annoying, and I suppose I am the most annoying – but, whatever."
Nearly 2,000 Parade readers voted in the poll, with 42 percent calling the former View co-host the most irksome – followed by Paris Hilton, with 24 percent of the vote.

Rosie O'Donnell Considers Doing a Show Online
Originally posted 11/09/2007 05:30PM
Courted by NBC for a possible cable talk show, then spurned for speaking out of turn about it, Rosie O'Donnell says she doesn't need the mainstream media to have a program anyway.
"I'm going to figure out a way to do a show here, in my blogville, because I really think it's the next way anyway," O'Donnell says in her latest video blog post, uploaded Friday to Rosie.com. "Who the hell wants to work for a company with three letters that's just going to get mad when you tell people what you're doing?"
