Rosie O’Donnell and Fran Drescher are developing a new sitcom about two women coping with mid-life crises. The two pals hope to star in “The New Thirty.”  

Okay, who’s behind this?  An Ear Nose & Throat version of Dr. Kevorkian who does mercy work by shoving knitting needles in your ears and then pouring in a stream of lye?  Or a coven of shrieking battle-axes looking to make themselves look dulcet by contrast?   If this gets on the air and is a hit, male consumption of beer stands to increase by 60%, heroin and morphine by 140%, and the Good Samaritans might as well just set up nets under bridges.  Dear God, and I thought I was dreading the Sex and the City movie….

Rosie O’Donnell has announced that in the house run by her and her lover Kelli Carpenter, “We have a no media policy. The school (their kids) go to has a no-media policy. There’s no television and no computer access. It has changed our lives.”   Kind of odd considering the mansion in which she allows no media was paid for by TV; presumably she figures if the kids don’t watch TV or log on, she can protect them from the bizarre truth that in some houses, one of the parents is a guy.

Rosie just can’t let it go.  On her cruise for gay and lesbian families from New York City to a private island in the Bahamas  and  in front of a 1,500 people she trotted out a giant photo of Elizabeth Hasselbeck doctored up as the devil, made a “crazy” gesture at the poster and said, “Her only f–king credit was Survivor. Come on!” 

 Nice language for a family cruise.  Nice role model for children.   All right already.  Rosie, you both had differing points of views politically, but isn’t that what made watching The View so fascinating and compelling tv.   Isn’t that we all tuned in each day.  We wanted to hear what you and Elizabeth were going to say.  No one else had anything interesting to say.  Otherwise, everyone on that show thinks the same way.  How boooring.

Rosie can’t seem to stop talking about Donald Trump either.  Someone on the cruise says “Rosie said she’d love to break into his apartment and rub her belly all over him.” Rosie, move on.

Rosie O’Donnell posted a photo on her log of her four year old daughter Vivienne Rose dressed up in a military costume complete with ammo belt filled with toy bullets around her chest.  Her fans reacted.  “Many, many people responded to it/in a variety of ways/wild really,” O’Donnell wrote in verse, as she often does.  Some people called the picture  “horrible” and “disturbing” and others calling it “brilliant” and “powerful.”  Rosie explained how it came about.  What do you think?
