Rosie O'Donnell is known for her fierce opinions -- but when it comes to former "View" boss Barbara Walters, Rosie harbors no bad feelings. "I love her," O'Donnell wrote on her recently upgraded website.

Barbara's surprising tell-all with Oprah this week might have inspired Rosie to respond to things Walters said about her. Walters told Winfrey she believed Rosie boosted ratings on "The View" -- with her vitriol! Barbara said, "the audience tuned in every day to see who [Rosie] was going to hate."

While the former co-hosts may butt heads on certain issues, they do bear a certain respect. Walters told Oprah that she would "always have the greatest affection for [Rosie.]"

Rosie O'Donell is giving up alcohol.

The outspoken former "View" co-host wrote on her blog that she couldn't have "only one" drink and has decided to stay off the booze.

In response to a fan's question, "So, Rosie, alcoholic or not? Just spit it out! What led you to stopping the beer?" Rosie explained, "'Cause I was drinking too much, 'cause I didn't want to any more, 'cause it is hard to lose weight when drinking, 'cause I can never have only one."

Rosie O’Donnell won’t be hosting her own show after all. Talks for a one-hour MSNBC talk show hosted by Rosie have fallen apart, she announced on her official blog.

“We were close to a deal,” she writes. “2day there is no deal. Poof. My career as a pundit is over
b4 it began.”

Rosie had reportedly been in talks to host a primetime show on the network in a timeslot that would pit her against “Larry King Live.” Yesterday, her former “The View” co-host Barbara Walters told “Extra” she supported the move, saying, “Rosie is a marvelous talent and when she can do her own show she will be perfectly happy.”

Rosie O’Donnell took aim at several stars last night as she took the stage at New York’s Comedy Festival.

The former “View” co-host, who began her career in standup, at first reached out to Britney Spears, saying, “I want her to come live with me.”

As rumors swirl that Rosie O’Donnell will soon be landing her own TV show, Barbara Walters is telling “Extra” that she supports the decision.

“I think it’s wonderful that Rosie might be getting her own show, if it turns out to be the case, and she would very good at it,” Barbara said. “Rosie is a marvelous talent and when she can do her own show she will be perfectly happy.”

Rosie is reportedly in talks to host a primetime talk show on MSNBC. The time slot would pit her against CNN’s “Larry King Live” and Fox News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes.”

Bill O’Reilly sent a camera crew to ambush Rosie O’Donnell as she signed copies of her book “Celebrity Detox” in Long Island on Friday.

Rosie was peppered with questions from a producer with “The O’Reilly Factor,” who said, “This is for Bill O’Reilly” and asked Rosie if she regretted saying Sept. 11 was “an inside job.”

In his first TV interview since “Celebrity Detox” was released, and as he announced plans for a global collection of Trump hotels, Donald Trump, flanked by kids Donald Jr. and Ivanka, spoke out about Rosie O’Donnell’s new book to “Extra.”

Trump admitted he has not read the book saying, “No, I won’t read it, but there’s nothing to learn.” He declared, “It’s not a very good book and my book comes out in two weeks, and I guarantee it’s going to sell many, many more copies than her book.”

He added, “The book is a piece of garbage.”

Rosie O'Donnell is giving a bombshell confession in her new video blog.

Is her controversial new book, "Celebrity Detox," actually an old project?

Rosie O’Donnell’s book “Celebrity Detox” has hit shelves, and she’s not holding back about how she really feels about her fellow celebrities.

She writes she felt like an outsider on “The View,” saying she considered herself “hugely threatening.”

She says Elisabeth Hasselbeck “continued to appall me with her almost glib comments about torture…but the feeling of baseline love stayed.” Rosie left the show after a heated on-air fight with Elisabeth about the Iraq War, when she argued that Elisabeth wouldn’t “defend” her against negative publicity.

It’s a similar sentiment in her dealings with Barbara Walters.

Did Jane Fonda once ask Rosie O’Donnell if she and Madonna were lovers?

Yes!

The bizarre revelation comes from Rosie’s new book, “Celebrity Detox.”

Rosie said Jane’s question even surprised the seemingly unshakeable Rosie.

She said she and Madge were never lovers – just best friends.

Rosie O’Donnell is taking aim at “The View,” fighting back at recent reports that the show has had a ratings boost since she left.

In her latest blog entry, titled “Truth in Advertising, Baby!” Rosie writes, “While I’m all about creative use of ratings, I think we need to do something with the lovely people at ‘The View’ insisting that the ratings are up without Rosie when in fact they are not.”

She claims that while the gab-fest has gained older viewers, the younger crowd is actually smaller now.

Rosie blasts, “They should really use the actual real numbers in their press statements.”

Is Barbara Walters maintaining a rosy outlook about her relationship with Rosie O’Donnell?

In her upcoming book “Celebrity Detox,” Rosie urges Barbara to retire and admits they have their differences.

But Barbara is still taking the high road with Rosie.

“Extra” caught up with Barbara as she took in an opera in New York, where she said, “Rosie has a good deal to say. I have great affection for her, and I think that’s what I’d like to say.”

Rosie O'Donnell has canceled her interview with "Good Morning America's" Diane Sawyer.

The sit-down, meant to discuss her new book "Celebrity Detox," was set for Oct. 9.

A spokesperson from the show says, "We were looking forward to having Rosie as a guest on the program. Unfortunately, today we were informed she has decided to cancel all of her interviews."

Rosie's decision comes just after she refused an invitation from Oprah Winfrey to chat about her book.

The snub sparked rumors of a feud, but Rosie insisted the two were not fighting and simply said she wasn't ready to talk about the book, saying it was "too raw."

Rosie says she will not do any interviews about "Celebrity Detox."

The book hits shelves Oct. 9.

Rosie O’Donnell has turned down Oprah Winfrey’s offer to chat about Rosie’s upcoming book, “Celebrity Detox,” igniting rumors that Rosie is feuding with the media mogul.

Fueling the fire are new reports that Rosie has opted instead for a tell-all with Diane Sawyer.

Rosie’s rep said, “Rosie has always been booked with Diane. We gracefully declined Oprah’s offer. I’m sure Rosie will do Oprah’s show another time.”

Today on her blog, Rosie denies any hostility toward Oprah, calling her “a force of nature” whose invitation to speak on her show “made her cry.”

Stories from Rosie O’Donnell’s childhood are emerging as her book “Celebrity Detox” gets ready to hit the shelves, and the details are heartbreaking.

According to a new report, Rosie writes in her book that she broke her own hands and fingers when she was a little girl.

She supposedly broke her bones with either a baseball bat or a wooden hanger as a cry for attention and sympathy after her mother died when she was 10 years old.
