Rosie's Big Plan

And the queen of ~~nice~~ controversy is thisclose to being back!

Yes, Rosie O'Donnell is said to have a potential new show in the works with NBC.

According to reports, Peacock honchos Ben Silverman and Jeff Zucker are said to like Rosie's idea for a new show, one that she's had for a long time.

They hope to have the show on the air by 2009 with a similar feel to The Ed Sullivan Show.

Supposedly Rosie would like to do it live and from a Broadway theater type of setting. Somewhere that she could host skits and different acts - comedy, music, etc.

Rosie has apparently been shopping the idea around since 2002, though no one's picked it up.

We're not sure if the timing is all that great.

Jay Leno's contract will be ending in May 2009 when he steps down from The Tonight Show and reports are that NBC is very keen on having him do some type of prime-time variety show.

What do U think. Would U watch Rosie's?

cc says – reply to this

the only reason I ever watched the View was to see Rosie bitch at Hassleback. Whoopi and that Sherry lady are far too subdued.

I might even have to get a satellite dish and Tivo, just so I can watch it. Anything with Rosie has got to be good.
seria says – reply to this

31

I would surely do! Rosie was the main reason I watched The View. I don't care to know if she is nice or not. She's smart and funny and that's really what matters to me.
okay says – reply to this

32

I dont know why people hate her so much and on the other hand I also dont know why some just love her. She's just sorta there with an attitude and a mouth. So what?
@v@ says – reply to this

33

Leno will be perfect for a classy prime time Variety Show. It's about time those were brought back. He'll ultimately feel much freer after losing the heavy yoke of being tied to a desk 365 days a year. He'll get out more and will be able to smell the roses and finally really enjoy what he's reaped. Go, Jay.
lexie says – reply to this

34

Definitely I would watch - love Rosie
baby says – reply to this

35

lolz, that would be a waste of the broadcasters money to get her back on the air! who really wants to see big gay rosie whine about her love life on tv? i for one would not watch her at all! i have watched her in the past and all she does is talk about her gf….borring!
Kari says – reply to this

And her first guest will be……..ELIZABETH HASSLEBACK.

37

NO WAYY! 37th bithes. even though 69 is much sexier
CHARL says – reply to this

38

No way! I have had enough of her rants.This woman has a problem, she always needs to find the spotlight.She needs therapy to get rid of all that hate she spews.For Rosie to say the government blew up buildings on 9/11,she needs a doctor, more than another talk show.She gives gays around the world a bad name.When people hear her talk all her hate,bitterness, and just a plain old bully, they think gays are all rotten like her.And we are not!!!
A. says – reply to this

39

No..I was really turned off by her on the view
Mr. B says – reply to this

40

YES! What else is on TV that is fun to watch? I say make it a blend of Carol Burnett / Ed Sullivan / Mike Douglas / Merv Griffin.
Jeff says – reply to this

41

Just what TV needs - that insane, raging egomaniac with another forum to dribble her phoney niceness. I wouldn't watch her do anything. She is among the least interesting former celebrities out there.
Cover says – reply to this

42

No.
lulu says – reply to this

Rosie is perfect for that gig. I'm not interested in seeing Leno in that context, snooze. Team Rosie!

MJKS says – reply to this

46

GOO ROOOOOO !!!
Jimmy says – reply to this

47

YAHOO! I would welcome her back - the View has lost all of it's appeal, and Elizabitch still carries on with her Republican right nut wing conservative ways. I will take Rosie back ANYWAY we can get her ! Good news !
Casey says – reply to this

48

Hell yeah, go Ro Ro ;0)
noway says – reply to this

49

I used to LOVE Rosie, but not so much anymore, I find her big mouth now embarrasing, and wonder what I ever liked about her to begin with. But when she was on VH1 she was fucking funny. so to answer you, Hell NO I wont watch her new show, in fact I may write a strongly worded letter to anyone who picks her up!
Nope says – reply to this

50

I think the majority of people can't stand her. She needs to go away already. Hasn't she had enough chances and failed?
MP says – reply to this

51

There's no way Jay Leno is going to stay w/ NBC after his run is over. Didn't he just say something semi-snarky about them a week or two ago? He'll go to ABC or FOX for a late night show. As for Rosie's show, if she keeps politics out of it I think it's worth checking out. But she has the Tom Cruise syndrome…she went crazy and now no one likes her. Not sure how well her show will do.
Joyou says – reply to this

52

No way Jose! Won't watch the Beeeattch!
jewel says – reply to this

53

I would soooooooooooo watch this. I'm sick of all the crap on TV. An old school Carol Burnett show would be awesome to watch and Rosie could pull it off.
James says – reply to this

54

HELLZ YEAH! I Heart Rosie.
Dana says – reply to this

55

Well, I do love Rosie but variety shows have pretty much had their day. It's Rosie I want to see, not acts she introduces.
chris says – reply to this

56

Of course I would watch Ro….she is a great talent…it took me a while to realize it as I had some wrong impressions about her…I think she will do well at whatever she decides to do. Hopefully, NBC will back her and try to get her some good talent to work with. I think she could easily do a sit-com too. Maybe, she should model her show after Gleason…and, do some of her own skits. She has more talent than Ed Sullivan that's for sure.
Jenni says – reply to this

57

I'd watch anything with Rosie, I love her!
Heath says – reply to this

58

She is one miserable, hate- filled, sad individual. I think she offers nothing to our society. I won't be watching anything she does.
Charl says – reply to this

59

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
Lynne says – reply to this

60

She'll never get her own show. She made her choice…because her opinions are so important..she has succeeded in pissing off more than half of the viewing public. That's a big number..one the networks don't like. Not only wouldn't people watch, they'd probably boycott sponsors. I'm not for that, I don't condone it, I'm just reporting it. The bottom line is she went from entertainment's most liked performing, to one of the most disliked. She did this to herself because she doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. Personally, I turn the channel when i see her.

heeha says – reply to this

67

hell no! snoozefest for sure!!! nobody wants to hear her loudmouth any more on tv!
true says – reply to this

68

If Rosie stuck to what she knows best, comedy then maybe. But she won't. Here's how things will go; Month one; Be a nice variety show, no agenda just fun. Month 2; The 1st cracks about politics begin, but all in fun. Month 3; Politics get heavier, less fun, Rosie starts getting angry. Month 4; Fun is all gone. Turns into political platform for her to spew her venom about her country. She turns into monster bitch. "Why does all this happen?" Because Rosie is a phony deep down. She wants to be political without becoming a politician because there is less money in it. She wants her cake and eat it too.

"The Rosie Ooo Song".

.

Sung to the tune of the Scoobie Doo Song

“Rosie Rosie Ooo,
Where are you?
We miss your rants on TV now,

.

All the other gals,
Are just cows,
You wore the pants for sure gal.

.

When it is all said and done you had your fun,
You rocked, you had your way,
hey hey, hey,

.

Now you are doing something new and they can screw,
Your through eating their hay,
hey, hey, hey,

.

Rosie Rosie Ooo,
We luv you,
In spite that you are Rosie,

.

No one else we know,
Can do a show,
The way that you do what you do!”

The Rosie View Song
sung to the tune of ‘The Flintstones Song’
.
Rosie, she’s our Rosie,
She spouts to our unending glee,
.
from her home of The View,
She skews the news for all to see,
.
Someday, will our Rosie lose the fight,
Go straight, join the Republicians and the Right,
Oh no, we don’t think so,
.
She’ll have a gabba gabba do time,
More gabba do time,
She’ll have a gay old time!”

Ewww I can't believe someone is giving this Hater a chance to dictate her ideas again! Seems like the only one who can have an opinion is Rosie, if you don't totally agree with her, she shouts you down and won't speak to you ever again. We should all be so lucky.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
