Riding The Bus With My Sister: Rosie O'Donnell Is Frightening

Remember when Rosie O'Donnell channeled Animal from the Muppets to play a retarded person in Riding the Bus with My Sister? Her interpretation of mental disability was actually so retarded that it was offensive to the mentally disabled, and just plain ol' scary for the rest of us. The television afficionados at TV Carnage created this little clip of Rosie's performance freaking out John Ritter (whose own acting antics actually freaked out a good number of people as well) for its DVD release A Sore for Sighted Eyes. There aren't really many other words to describe this. Just watch it.
P.S. When he wasn't being all fake/real gay on Three's Company, John Ritter was totally bangable back in the day.

Mariah Carey E-Mails Vogue Editor From Honeymoon

  • [Mariah Carey] is very happy. I've spoken with her and she is superb. She is over the moon. I received an email from her [Monday] and she is so happy.

Barbara Walters On Oprah: "Star Jones Was So Obese She Could Barely Walk Onto The View Set"

Barbara Walter's memoir Audition hit shelves today, and she appeared on Oprah to talk about it. Babs has spilled her guts into this book, and it's a true tell-all, since she's telling every fucking thing there is to tell. She went into detail on some of it with O, namely, Star Jones (first she was fat and nice, then she got thin and annoying), Rosie O'Donnell (she has severe emotional problems and would scream at Barbara in fits of rage), her torrid 2-year affair with a married black politician (she never considered herself a mistress), her troubled adopted daughter (who was on drugs and ran away from home), and her mentally-disabled sister (whom she resented for being mentally-disabled). B. Dub said she was actually considering naming the book Sister, because her sister has been such a huge influence on her life. (Could you imagine!? Nobody would ever guess that Sister was an autobiography of a white woman knocking on 80 years old!) Clip above.

Rosie O'Donnell Offers Unflinching Glimpse Into Martha Stewart's Jailhouse Soul

They've been counting down to Rosie O'Donnell's appearance on Rachael Ray forever now. But after watching today's much-hyped episode, I can't help but think that what they should have been counting down to was Rosie O'Donnell's phenomenal vocal-impression of Martha Stewart and her tale of visiting the her in a West Virginia women's prison back in 2004, when Martha confessed that what she missed most about life on the outside was "lemons". Clip above.

Barbara Walters Talks Shit About Former View Co-Hosts

  • In her new memoir, Auditions, Baba Wawa gives the dirt on Star Jones' and Rosie O'Donnell's departures from the View; On Rosie: "The premise of 'The View' is that of a team working together, but for Rosie it was more like Diana Ross and the Supremes, as little by little she took over." [NYDN]
  • The problem with Miss Jones was not just her diva behavior (though Walters et. al. were embarrassed about her fiasco of a wedding to Big Gay Al) it was that Star made her View-mates lie about her gastric bypass. Walters writes: "Joy [Behar], in particular, resented having to go along with a lie that implied all one needed to do was situps and ingest one cookie instead of two."[NYDN]
  • The septuagenarian Babs is so scandalous! She also talks about her adulterous affair with Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke, the first black Senator since reconstruction. [NYDN]
  • Jimi Hendrix's sex tape? A hoax, cries the company that owns the rights to Jimi's music. Sigh. We'll always have Cynthia Plaster Caster. [Reuters]
  • Marilyn Monroe's sex tape? The FBI cries fake! It's amazing how many stars can issue denials from the grave. [MSNBC]

Night Of Too Many Stars? Or Night Of Too Many Bloated Dudes?

Aw, comedians who care! Or so was the premise of last night's "Night of Too Many Stars," the Comedy Central-backed benefit show which brought the big names in funny together to help children with autism. Only some of these pros brought the hotness however. (See Tina Fey at left.) But the men — Kelsey Grammer, Matthew Broderick, and even Robert Kennedy, Jr — all looked bloated in both face and ego. Thank goodness Jonah Hill was there to make up for it! The full Good, Bad and Ugly of "Night of Too Many Stars", after the jump. More »

Madonna Gave It To Justin Timberlake In The Ass

  • While Justin Timberlake was working with Madonna on her album, Madge offered JT a B-12 shot. "She proceeds to pull a Ziploc bag of B-12 syringes out [of her purse] and says, 'Drop 'em.' I don't know what you say to that, so I immediately dropped my pants," Justin says. "She gave me a shot in my ass and looks at me and says, 'Nice top shelf.' That was one of the greatest days of my life." [People]

Loose Lips Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix had baby number two on January 12th! They are pretty damn adorable, and Summer gets points for being in SLC Punk. • Gwyneth is out of the hospital and "ok", says her rep. God, even her flack sounds tepid and lame. • Rosie O'Donnell sounds off on Britney on her blog: "By 17, she had sold 25 million records. Where were the sidewalk-skinned knees, the chalk stained hands, the monkey bars, the passed notes? A Disney set is not a childhood, no matter how many bright colors they use, or how cheerful the script." [Us, Us, Perez Hilton]

Pretty Bitch Jessica Alba Has It All

  • Britney Spears and paparazzo Adnan Ghalib checked into the Rosarito Beach Hotel just south of the border in Mexico on Wednesday. They shopped; Brit bought a knockoff Gucci purse and Adnan purchased a rosary. His photo agency says they are "happily dating." [People]
  • Oh! Britney and Adnan are back in L.A. That was quick! Please God don't let them have gotten married in Mexico? Kthxbai. [TMZ]
  • Meanwhile, cops found a bite mark and bruises on Britney's son, Jayden James.

Miss France Feels Heat; Miss USA The Next James Frey

Pageant contestants never cease to be reliable sources of diva debauchery/ inevitable redemption. The latest tale of beauty queens gone wild comes courtesy of Miss France, 22-year old Valerie Begue. Having just won her title three weeks ago, Begue is battling criticism following the release of the inevitable "sexy" photos making their way around the Internets. (One photo, oddly enough, features Begue "licking what appeared to be yogurt or evaporated milk." Shades of Miss New Jersey!) Perhaps she could use some advice from former Miss USA Tara Conner? Conner, who, in 2006, was caught doing lines and chugging 40's like it was nobody's business and given a "second chance" by Miss USA pageant-owner Trump, has just signed a lucrative book deal for a memoir on her time in rehab, she announced this morning.

Shocker: Liberal New Yorkers Hate "Hormonal" Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Rosie O'Donnell's memoir about her time on The View, Celebrity Detox, came out yesterday! In honor, I headed up to a midtown Manhattan Barnes & Noble to pick out a personally-inscribed copy (on a side-note, 100% of the profits from the book go to O'Donnell's nonprofit, Rosie's Broadway Kids, which brings musical theatre education to the poorest public schools in New York.) While I waited in line — which literally stretched around the block — I decided to poll my fellow fans about their feelings about O'Donnell's evil nemesis Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Their responses, after the jump. More »

Rosie O'Donnell's memoir, Celebrity Detox: The Fame Game is a "train wreck," and full of "self-help psychobabble" writes Jocelyn McClurg of USA Today. But it also manages to be "fascinating and brutally honest." During the Donald Trump incident last season, Rosie told her mentor Barbara Walters, "I have been a good, loyal daughter to you. And I want you to be a good mother to me. Don't let the bad man hurt me." Interesting, since, according to McClurg, Rosie's book recounts a "fuzzy recollection" of a man climbing in through her window as a child to molest her — until her mother cut down the tree. The book boasts lots of other personal stuff, including bowel habits, bath time with the kids and the "insemination" of her partner, Kelli. [USA Today]

Many of us broke the limbs of our Barbies (or, uh, younger siblings) to express our pre-adolescent angst, but Rosie O'Donnell broke her own. In O'Donnell's upcoming memoir, Celebrity Detox, she confesses that she used to break her own bones as a child after her mother's death as a means of assuring herself that she "had some value, enough to be fixed" and since "There were many benefits to having a cast. In the middle of the night, it was a weapon." [Fox News]

Rosie O'Donnell just got the first copy of her book Celebrity Detox only to discover that her publisher effed up big time on the book jacket bio. It reads: "When Rosie O'Donnell's mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1968, ten year old Rosie thought fame could cure her." Rosie responds on her blog (in her weird haiku-esque way):
"i was born in 1962
my mother was diagnosed in 1973
WTF !!!!!!!!!!
this book has been more of a pain in the ass
than it was worth"

Donald Trump's Sound Bites Are As Charming As His Hair


That Donald Trump! Such a gentleman — and what a way with words! Check out the Access Hollywood clip above for proof. First he said that Lindsay Lohan needed to get a new set of parents. Then he backpedaled, saying Dina Lohan "is really a terrific woman." Then he randomly lashes out at Rosie O'Donnell. Stay classy, Don!

Are Lindsay Lohan And Samantha Ronson Finger (Banging) Buddies?

  • Lindsay Lohan to best friend forever Samantha Ronson: "Babe, if I don't have you in my life then I should just go die. ... I want to marry you and have children with you." Oh god we wish that were actually physically possible. [Gatecrasher]
  • Rosie O'Donnell kind of needs to look into, you know, growing up at this point. [US Weekly]
  • Paris Hilton saw Sicko and was inspired to move to Cuba. Joke! But we can wish! [TMZ]
