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 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."

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.

"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.

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?"
