Rosie's Staffers Were Terrorized
The Daily Beast has a loonnnggggg article about why Rosie O'Donnell's show on Oprah Winfrey's network of spiritual guidance failed. Reasons include Rosie not being a good fit for the channel, a bad time slot, no one was sure what the show's format should be, celebrities wouldn't come to Chicago to get their publicity cocks sucked, etc.
The frowny revelation is that Rosie still has a big ole' temper when shit doesn't go well and will publicly lash the fuck out at you in front of the rest of the staff. She will make you cry and confound you because you had heard that lesbians were really nice what with the dogs and the Home Depot love and everything.
Rosie filmed in Oprah's old studio, and many of The Rosie Show staff were made up of O's old crew. Those special people have been touched by an angel and ascended to a higher level than the rest of us. But that don't mean dick to Ro.
From the Beast:
Several staffers were very upset when O’Donnell clashed with Winfrey’s longtime director Joe Terry. People thought she humiliated him when she scolded him in front of a live audience for using the wrong camera shots, suggesting he didn’t know what he was doing. She fired Winfrey’s stage manager because she felt like he was ignoring her and not doing his job properly. But some of her biggest fights were with “the games department.” She couldn’t decide what she wanted—The Price Is Right, physical games, or trivia—and was constantly belittling the people who worked on them.
Rosie also reportedly treated her band leader lady like shit because she couldn't immediately play obscure Broadway numbers like the band was Tom Cruise's iPod. Ugh. She also didn't personally tell her staff that the jig was up because she'd already driven her hog (you decide what kind I'm referring to) back to New York City and was trying to get the role of Miss Hannigan in a revival of Annie.
I met Rosie once. She was big and butch (bike shorts/Tevas/lots of tattoos) and I was nervous she would put me in a headlock. She read as a nice lady, but I wasn't on her payroll. Remember when she accused one of the staffers at her magazine of lying and told her that "liars get cancer"? This is not a bitch you want your cubicle near.
And that's it for me. Thank you to the exquisitely slutty Michael K for letting me help out again! Tramp ass.

Rosie has a lot of fire, but I'm sure she's not the only host that's difficult to work for. Some executives will be nice or civil to your face, but will disparage you or backstab you when out of earshot. With Rosie you know where you stand. It's much easier working with people like her.
People feel it's ok to bash her and call her every fat name in the book. The lady is smart and am sure will be successful in another venture.

She is an embarassment to dykes and homos everywhere. A nasty, nasty piece of work.
Make her go away.
No. She's only an embarrassment to her brash, rude, crude, lard-ass, big mouth self.
I'm tired of people speaking 'for' certain minority people as if they are the sudden spokesperson for a whole group of individuals who have different beliefs even though they may have the same skin color or same sexuality. It's tiresome and one or a handful of individuals can never 'represent' an eclectic bunch of people who happen to be 'grouped' in by way of their traits.

I feel bad saying it, but in that whole ordeal, I thought Trump came off the more petty and ignorant of the two! Hey she did too but I just can't picture such a big magnate stooping to schoolyard name-calling like he did. Note, I like neither of them!! *shudders* ;)

She's a giant bohemoth gelatinous blob of shit. Never understood why anyone liked her. She comes across as a know it all bossy boy with her fat ass swagger.
Oprah gave Rosie employment simply to shut her up. At the time, Rosie was always saying that the Oprah and Gayle Road Adventures were as gay as you can get. To squash those rumors...O must've promised Rosie a show to stop talking like that.

Seriously, I believe her staff. There's this commercial for her show where she walks in the studio talking to them like they are her children. She is so annoying and her sausage fingers and dirty feet make me wanna hurl.
What's ironic is how anti-bullying Rosie claims to be, yet, it appears that she is a bully herself.

Rosie is a lunatic and she does not play well with others. I feel sorry for any chick that gets involved with her with the exception of her new gold digger wifey. Did she really send all of her kids off to live with their mom so she could chase tail?Submitted by swarm-of-locusts on

------------------------
this is disturbing on so many levels...
in other news...
...she does look like those bullies who needs to shove people around so you don't discover how unintelligent they are; so they yell at you first to scare you off... and I really don't like it when people wear sandals to formal set-ups... you're not exempt to the rules of etiquette just because you're a 'celebrity all we see in that photo is her bare foot so close up its about to touch her face... ugh... *smdh*
It's not Rosie's fault she was stuck on Oprah's piece of shit network.
Her feet remind me of my ex boss. He had disgusting ashy, banana toe feet and insisted on walking around the office barefoot. Slacks, button up shirt, tie and no fucking shoes. He would never address as to why either. It was beyond uncomfortable to sit next to him because he would cross his leg and this ashy foot would just hang there. I was constantly afraid it would touch me. Anywhoo, moral of the story is to be aware of bosses or employees who are visually obtrusive and don't give a damn.
These two deserve each other, but Rosie seems like the bigger cunt overall.
Remember when she proudly recounted telling her ex-wife's parents, "I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOUR DAUGHTER!"
Those poor people were probably mortified. TMI to your piece's parents, Rosie.
The new piece looks slightly uncomfy in photos of them together. Stiff and not totally into Rosie at all.
As at the end of her career as Rosie is, she isn't yet half as desperate as Oprah seems.
No loopy, somehow I think she'd grab you and push your head between her legs while she gritted her teeth! I don't think she'd give you any dirty talk at all, the bitch! hahaha Don't know about the lawn mower floss stuff though! LOL ;P

Why is her feets black?

I noticed that as well. I think it must be tattoos
"Shalikla!"
Tevas are lesbian footwear? I have 2 pairs....does that mean I am gay?
I never bought into that bullshit about Rosie when they were calling her the Queen of Nice back when her old talk show was popular. She gave off a phony bitch vibe back then and it turned out to be totally true, called it.
I loathe Camille Paglia, but she was dead on when she described Rosie as "that viper masquerading as a sunny populist".
Rosie looks just like Diane Schuler, that child murdering, alcoholic cunt.
Seems appropriate.

Rosie crossed Barbara Walters yet Oprah thought she could handle the beast.
There is nobody left who would give her the time of day.
Hmm, for the most part I believe the statements. She does send out bitchy/know-it-all/not afraid to be mean/huge asshole vibes. Never really understood what people liked about her. I guess it's one of those things that from afar look hilarious but if you're the one being humiliated by that beast it's not so funny.

Louise Brooks, you know the ladies is packed full of drunk, pissed off, crying chicks. The mens is not as crowded so you can find a stall - even if you have to hover.
...not only does she come off as a huge bully, but she's obviously the kind of person who can't take ownership of her own issues...everything is always someone else's fault...
...plus, I'd wager she has some kind of mood/personality disorder for which she is receiving treatment off and on...but I can just imagine how difficult it would be to treat a patient like her...knows everything and it's always the doctor's fault she's not getting any 'better'...
...oh and too much pie...that's another obvious problem...

Remember her whole alleged crush on Tom Cruise? So fake.
I love everyone's celeb encounters!
GG- why were you in the men's room? LMAO
Thanks for the laughs and your time J.!
No shock about Rosie. She was on Dr. Oz about a month ago trying to explain her weight gain and why she doesn't (but at the same time does) want to lose it.
It was a very pathetic attempt to act serious and get people to feel sorry for her. He said one thing (can't recall it now) and the look she shot him was lethal.
As in, if looks could kill he would be 20 feet under.
I'm not even a fan of the guy but I instantly hoped he had security. I for one would NOT want to piss off that woman.
Edit: Come to think of it I think he made a comment about her role in Exit to Eden and wondered if her children ever asked her about what it was like to be skinny/healthy. Also if they ever asked her why she chooses to stay fat. Something like that.
J Harvey say it ain't so! Back to the potato bar with you, it was fun, throw some bacon bits our way now and then oh and some sour cream, oh and maybe some chives, a stick of butter....
Submitted by louise_brooks: "The rage just radiates off of Rosie like stink lines off a cartoon character. She's going to have a cardiac incident if she keeps up like that."
LMAO. Yes, I never bought her nice act, or her straight act when she was doing it. Cardiac incident? Yup.
Love the Donald who is gloating that she got fired!
He absolutely called it. She is aweful human being.

Wow, she sounds genuinely awful. Bummer cuz I've always sorta liked her. Gah and fuck.
... because she couldn't immediately play obscure Broadway numbers like the band was Tom Cruise's iPod.

Two of my celeb stories:
I used to know Jay Mohr quite well (well enough that i had his cell phone) when I lived in L.A. Legitimately nice guy, truly.
In the mid-90s I got into a (minor) physical altercation with Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs.
She was awful to her crew during her first show in the 90s (if you believe the reports....which I do) when she was still closeted smiles and sunshine Rosie. What a bitch.

Awww...those are nice ones! I saw Jeff Foxworthy in line at IMAX at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Not nearly as good as any celeb encounter story from anyone ever.
I second cutting loose with the celebrity encounter stories! *hops up and down*
My two:
* Parents took me to Vegas with them. I was about 4 years old. We had dinner, after which Wayne Newton performed. I fell asleep face down on the table after supper and woke up to Wayne Newton holding my hand and singing "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast."
* I'm 99.99% sure that I sat next to Woody Harrelson (sp?)on a plane. (I didn't ask.) I was harried as I had broken my wrist on the trip and nearly missed my flight. He was super nice and down to earth.
