Rosie Takes on 'American Idol' Judges

On Thursday morning’s “The View,” Rosie O’Donnell dropped a bomb on “American Idol” and attacked America’s three favorite judges.

“If you keep serving people crap, they’re eventually going to think it’s a meal,” Rosie touted. “Three millionaires… one probably intoxicated. So sad.”

Rosie’s new war came the morning after an incredible 32 million people tuned in as Simon, Randy and Paula struggled in Seattle, taking aim at wannabes like Kenneth Briggs.

“You look like one of those creatures in the jungle with those massive eyes, what are they called? Bush baby,” Simon told the “Idol” hopeful.

“To make fun of someone’s physical appearance, is this what America thinks is entertainment?” Rosie challenged.

Only “Extra” had a backstage “View” pass with Thursday’s guest host, “Idol’s” season five sweetheart Kellie Pickler, who found herself caught in the “A.I.” crossfire.

Kellie came to the judges’ defense, insisting, “We all knew when we got in line for ‘American Idol’ there was a chance we could be embarrassed on national TV and humiliate ourselves; we knew that.”

Meanwhile, as Rosie ripped apart the “Idol” judges, you better believe that Donald Trump wanted in on the action too, and “Extra” has it!

“She shouldn’t be going after Simon, and she shouldn’t be going after anybody,” The Donald said. “Rosie is a mess.”

While Rosie targets the “Idol” judges, it seems Paula and Ryan are involved in a war of their own. On Ryan’s L.A. radio show, Paula attacked Ryan for not defending her behavior when he appeared on “The Tonight Show.”

“Look, I don’t look in their cups to see what’s sitting before them on that table,” Ryan told Jay Leno.

Paula attacked Ryan on the Los Angeles airwaves, as she inquired about his sit down with Leno.

“You know darn well there’s nothing in any of our Coca-Cola cups, and you know darn well I’ve never gone out drinking,” she snapped.

“I really feel like I try to keep the peace with you,” he then told Paula, who accepted his apology, saying, “I love you.”

But how long will the “Idol” love last?

Tune in to “American Idol” every week to find out!

hello
I wouldn’t say wot u did is alrigth
Thank you, Mr. O’Donnell, for your comments about American Idol. The show is crap - just the kind of stuff that you would expect from Rupert and Fox. I think someone ought to set Simon up in an audition - do really well and then tell him to stick it in his ear.

Why do the producers/hosts of Extra do except exploit humanity and detract people from what is going on in their country?

Ever wonder why Trump (and Delay) wanted Rosie to be quiet? Try researching, your future and your children’s might depend on it.

You blind fools……you should be more worried about what is being done to you in this country by the government and the FDA.
Chemicals are being put into the food you eat and the products you buy!
Why do you think Cancer and diseases are at an all time high than ever before in history!
The Pharmaceutical Companies make “billions” of dollars each year profiting from you getting sick.
There will be no cure found just more drugs made so that americans can be spending enormous amounts of money each year on perscription drugs.
They profit by keeping you sick!!!
Nixon declared war on Cancer over thirty years ago and still no “cure” just more and more and more drugs for you to buy.
That keeps the pharmaceutical companies pockets nice and fat. They are not going to give up those profits by finding a cure!
Open your eyes people don’t be stupid.
“PROPYLENE GLYCOL” is the main ingredient in antifreeze and used in brake and hydraulic fluids, paints and coatings.
Also something called “SODIUM LARETH SULFATE” and it’s in the food you eat and in the products you use!
Those chemicals are everywhere yet it gives you cancer!
Go ahead….go check your cabinets you’ll find it in your food, toothpaste, shampoo, underarm deodorant, conditioner, lotions, soaps, pet food, baby wipes, processed foods, etc.
Go look………go see for yourself, in addition to causing cancer, propylene glycol also causes kidney damage, dermatitis and liver abnormalities.
There is so much more about the meat you eat the way cows are genetically modified and bred, how they are fed diseased feed, ground-up other diseased, sick animals, and routinely eat their own feces and urine.
Cows are injected with bovine growth hormone, causing the animal to be highly diseased.
They are given large amounts of antibiotics and other drug injections.
The same is said for pork and chicken.

A bridge in California has collapsed after fuel from a tanker truck crash ignited and melted the steel road bed. Some body needs to call and tell Rosie. This is the secound time in the history of the world that fire has melted steel. What a nitwit ! And people listen to her,like maybe she knows what she’s talking about. Who’s dumber,them or her ?

Rosie is right. If you keep serving people crap they will begin to enjoy it as a meal. I dont care for crap and therefore i have stopped watching the view. The whole trump thing was just a 2 year old tantrum and her getting away with all that “crap” gives her license to spew on anyone. I mean come on…she rationalized Alec Balwins behavior toward his daughter. Does rosie call her children ignorant pigs??

Rosie has admitted on the view, that she has been “suffering from depression,for years,since the Columbine tradgedy. I have learned, that if you are depressed, you may lash out at others, to unconciously, take your mind off your own problems. Rosie, needs to do some serious soul searching, look into her own life.

Rosie is the one that should be fired!
She spews out hateful diatribe all the

Send her packing!! Leave Don Imus alone.

Ask Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to
apologize for the hateful bashing of
the members of the Duke La Cross team
for 13 months. They had these guys
convicted before their trial! Keep
Sharpton and Jackson off TV, they
wouldn’t have a job if they didn’t

If enought people will boycott abc something just might be done about O’Donell. But just complaining about her will not do any good. The entire station has to be cut from your viewing, not just ‘The View’.

Freedom of speech is Americans greatest right. But that freedom is not freedom of consequences. Rosie has the right to her small minded, ill perceived rants - We just need to turn her off, whether she is there or not, eventually the advertisers will want her gone. She is a bitter, middle aged has been that can only generate attention by being a loud mouth bully. It is the only attention she can generate and obviously she feels bad attention is better than no attention. Just turn her off, and ask your friends to do the same.

Rosie is fighting with everyone all the time…I am tired of it and now when The View comes on I turn it off. She is always fighting with someone. Who wants to hear her rant and rave about everything she disagrees with? I sure don’t. She owes a lot of people an apology and if ABC cares for it’s viewers they will get her off television. Today she went over the line fighting with Joy and Elizabeth on politics. No one, not even Rosie will tell me how to think. Get rid of her, ABC!
