Rosie O'Donnell Reaches Out to Britney Spears

As Britney Spears suffers the fallout from her disastrous MTV Video Music Awards performance, she has found one unlikely ally: Rosie O’Donnell.

Rosie writes on her blog that she’s “been trying to get to her” in response to a fan’s insistence that she would be a good influence on the troubled pop star.

Rosie dropped another bombshell on her blog: that her new book, “Celebrity Detox,” actually upset former “View” co-host Barbara Walters!

Though “Extra” reported yesterday that Barbara has read the book and says she wants to “concentrate on the love that she sent,” Rosie is admitting there is a different story.

In response to a fan asking what Barbara thought of the book, Rosie writes, “It hurt her feelings.”

As for the expected firestorm surrounding the release of the book, Rosie writes, “Engage deflector shields.”

The reason she can offer “mental-support” to “Brittney” is because “Misery” likes “Misery”. Hey….. I wonder if “Rosie” really did show “Brittney” the ropes, you know from up-side down. I heard that “Rosie” considers this “rope-hanging” thing HER “mental-therepy”. Oh-boy…..”stupid is, stupid does”!

You know, throughout Britney’s career, I never cared for her music and wouldn’t let my son watch her video’s, but cut her a little slack. I hear everyone dragging her through the mud without any consideration to the fact that she’s had two children (and I’ve had one…her tummy looks a whole lot better than mine), and lets not forget that she’s going through some pretty big emotional rollercoasters. I know a lot of women who have broken down going through a divorce and custody battle. I think she’s handling it the best she can. Not that her personal life is any of our business. So she didn’t do to well for her first performance in awhile. Britney will be back, she always does. And don’t think for one second that I’m standing by her career, I’m standing behind her as a woman. She’s doing her and if she doesn’t respond to her fans as much, so be it. She’s got a few things that are much more important going on, one of them is being a mother. And don’t throw the partying out there, because I don’t know anyone who has kids that doesn’t party. There are women out there beating there kids and shaking them until they have brain damage. All I see Britney doing is trying to put the pieces of her life back together the best way she knows how.
