It Was All About Money

Filed under: TV News > Rosie O'Donnell

news022a__opt.jpg

Though she claims the network was pissed that she "let it slip" early, the real reason Rosie O'Donnell ended talks with MSNBC for a new show is over money.

"The network couldn’t afford to make a deal for Rosie just based on a nighttime show," reports Fox News. "It would have to have been tied into something else on daytime. The problem with that? O’Donnell doesn’t want to return to a grueling daytime schedule while her kids are in school."

Rosie is also said to be reluctant to sign a deal longer than one year.

Hey, if you wanna play in the corporate world, you gotta play by their rules.

But Rosie doesn't have to! She can just do a show on the Internets!

      Perez-

      Fox News and Rosie O'Donnell have been feuding since 'The View' days. Fox News is just like The Insider or Access. They really don't know, they just want to give Rosie another headache.

      I would love to see Rosie back on the air, especially if she has a pundit type of show where she can talk about important issues. Those harpies at The View kept drowning her own and were incapable of talking about anything important. Bring it on, Rosie!

      That is not what she said on her blog. She admitted they dumped her and did not go into details.She admitted they were mad because she let it slip in Miami. I think her statement at the comedy show last week,"Men is suits yelling at me on the phone are scarey" helped end her negotiations.
      BACK TO TODAY'S SHOW ON THE VIEW. WHY HAS WHOOPI BEEN SCOLDING SHERI FOR HER STATEMENTS IN THE LAST WEEK? THEY GOT INTO A BIG ARGUMENT TODAY. WHY DOES WHOOPI THINK SHERI WAS NOT HIRED TO SHARE HER VIEWS? IS BILL GETTY TELLING WHOOPI TO START A FEUD TO BOOST RATINGS AS IT IS SWEEPS WEEK? FIND OUT FOR US PEREZ!!!!

      I just love Rosie and would love any show she will do. I feel sad about the men in suits dictating what can be said all the time. She is a wonderful kind person. I couldn't afford her new book and was getting it at the library and instead she sent me a free copy. I was so humbled and impressed as NO ONE else would do that for a blogger.

      Why do you post anything on Rosie? It's always stupid and boring. I don't even read it, it's like a waste of space. Who cares if she ever comes back to TV? Everyone already knows her opinions about everything. She's a joke.

      Rosie is a has been - she is poison. Nobody will hire her, she can't get along with her co-workers and fights with anyone who won't agree with her. Now the Irish Catholic is pretending to be Jewish. She is just a mess. She use to be The Queen of Nice and today she is just the Princess or Crazy. Her career is over - nobody will hire her. If she keep investing in bad musicals and travel companies for her girl friend to run into the red she will be bankrupt before long!

      What the hell is "the Internets"? Last I heard, it was called the Internet, singular. Stop talking like a f**. Oh wait, you are one. You make it so easy to make fun of your kind.

      32

      Look folks. It's always about the money. If MSNBC thought Rosie would make them money, they would have gone through with it. They got a huge outpouring after Rosie blabbed that they were talking to here. That outpouring was overwhelmingly negative. Rosie is no longer funny. She is no longer fun to watch…unless you have anger issues yourself and love stupid conspiracy theories.

      Rosie's done. She ain't no Ellen.

      Hi I'm Rosie O'Pigface. I am a great big fat Lesbo who hates men and my country. I wish I lived in Iran so I could wear a burka and get my big fat ass beat if I showed my hair. I now live in a country where a big fat loud mouthed dyke could get her own talk show and spew vile venom about my country, but I hate it here. I would love to live where they are more tolerant and are freedom fighters like Syria or Afghanistan. Love Pigface.

      Sorry, but after she bad mouthed all her coworkers and boss, Barbra, when she left the view she is damaged goods. Any network would be biting their fingernails once she left. Who would work with her? Rosie is so tolerant. Yea right. Only if you agree with her. The lady is a mess. There are also rumors that she hits Kelly. Beats her is more like it.

"Radical Christians worse then Islamic terrorist, Troops are mercenaries who killed 600,000 civilians, WTC #7 was an inside job." She's irresponsible & STUPID. "I never heard of steel melting." WHAT an IDIOT! NBC bagged out because public outcry, I'M SURE.

      Re: mel – "faux news" My how original! Can't you dumb liberals come up with something new? FOX news has higher ratings then ALL the other news outlets combined. So sit on that a spin a while.

    51. Sandee says – reply to this


      51

      Actually, the Fox article was on the whole a very supportive one. It is lame to emphasize the breakdown of negotiations because of the money, though. I understand completely why Rosie would like to be home for her kids when they come home after school, and she's sticking to her guns about a one year contract, virtually unheard of in T.V. Land. I hope she is able to find something that will showcase her kindness and compassion…I don't think an evening news show is the best fit. A focus on comedy, her greatest talent, is something that would be very appreciated by her fans and admirers.

      **********************************************************

      Even the "Haters" take time to visit her blog and post rude and insulting messages, WHY? Because they know she'll give them the time of day, so they're acknowledging, through their own actions, that Rosie has a caring heart and will make time for people.

I'd rather watch Katie Couric's colonoscopy - live! I think she should tell us more about how people who lie get cancer. Nice, really nice and classy - not! ;)

AS YOU CAN TELL, I ESPECIALLY HATE WOMEN AND MAKE THE MOST VILE REMARKS ABOUT THEM. THIS IS DUE TO MY MOTHER MAKING ME SERVICE HER WITH MY TONGUE TO THIS VERY DAY! I LIKE TO PRETEND THAT ALL WOMEN ARE FAT & LONELY WITHOUT SELF-ESTEEM BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY OWN DISMAL LIFE. I HAVE NO BRAIN & PISS ALL OVER WOMEN WHENEVER I GET THE CHANCE. OF COURSE I WILL NEVER HAVE A WOMAN OF MY OWN BEING THE ASSHOLE I AM. I WILL HAVE TO BE CONTENT TO STICK A DILDO UP MY ASS & DRINK MY OWN JIZZ FOR FUN. IT’S PROBABLY THE STD’S THAT HAVE ROTTED MY TINY MIND & TURNED ME INTO THE FUCKASS YOU READ ON THESE PAGES. SHIT SUCKER TO THE END!

      Many Americans would naturally assume Gore follows the green lifestyle he widely promotes, and they would be wrong. Gore and his wife Tipper, whose children all live elsewhere, reside in a behemoth 20-room mansion outside of Nashville that used nearly 23,000 kilowatt-hours last August, more than twice the annual-yes, annual-energy usage of a typical American home. Gore’s preferred mode of transportation between stops on his international publicity tour is his private jet, which spews out CO2 emissions at the rate of a small army of SUVs.
      Though 100 percent correct, this is certainly not something you’d expect to read in a college newspaper.News flash… AL GORE IS A BIG FAT HYPORITE!!!!!!!!!

      She's a looser…and obviously off centered a bit. Fox News is a good source for those of you that doubt… no they haven't been getting along lately, but a few years back Mr. O'Reilly was very fair to Rosie when she appeared on his show to discuss adoption problems in some states (apparently they frowned on same sex couples adopting). Mr. O'Reilly actually supported and AGREED with Rosie on that issue…. however, who in the hell can agree or support her lunatic behavior now? Only others that are as luney as she is do.

      Used to love her… don't give a damn about her sexuality….do care a great deal about how she rants on about how she hates and distrusts this country. Makes me sad for her that she is so unhappy.
