Rosie O'Donnell Gets Silenced by the Almighty Miss Barbara Walters

Well if Rosie O'Donnell had any good, or even some slightly mischievous intentions of shaking up The View, the almighty, omnipotent Miss Barbara Walters is doing everything in her power to put an end to Rosie's inalienable right to Free Speech.

According to People Magazine, Miss B.W. has said that she wants Rosie to stop blogging on her website about The View. Well, even if Rosie continues to put her inner most thoughts to pen, B.W. really has little to fear. If you've ever taken a peek at Rosie's blog, her writing style which she claims is poetic, is actually just a jumble of non-sensical and unrelated words that are incoherent to those of us not so well-versed in her "unique poetic license."

But back to the important matter at hand, Barbara Walters, once again shows us that even an old broad like her can still flex her muscles and lay down the law. To put out any firestorm of controversy, Rosie swiftly countered, by offering a seemingly heartfelt apology to B.W. 

We guess, Rosie knows where her bread is likely to be buttered and also knows that no one is safe in the wake of Barbara’s power to ax anyone who pisses her off. Case in point; Miss Star Jones Reynolds who after nine years of servitude to Miss B.W. was gone from the View's promo shots faster than one can utter the words, Star who?, and subsequently has not been seen or heard from since. Rosie is not yet ready to suffer the same fate as Miss “I’m a Lawyer,”  Star Jones Reynolds or the rail thin, desperate to be a dumb blond, Debbie Matenopoulos both of whom, after igniting Barbara’s ire, were unceremoniously wiped off the face of the Earth.

The View is going down, Meredith Vieira says

Who knew a bunch of ladies sitting around the table with Barbara Walters could solicit so much attention? Meredith Vieira, a former cast member of The View has said she doesn’t watch the show anymore because of its decline in quality.

"I have to admit, the day after Star made her announcement, I watched," Vieira said in an interview published in Time magazine. "But I feel very sad for everything that's happened and for everybody involved."

Star Jones Reynolds unceremoniously exited The View in June amid speculation that she was wanted out because comedian Rosie O'Donnell was picked to fill Meredith Vieira’s spot — rumor had it that Reynolds was angry at O’Donnell for publicly saying Reynolds had gastric bypass surgery. There was also speculation that Reynolds, who was married last year and is accused of abusing her access to freebies and promoting wedding companies on air to get free stuff for her own wedding, was not going to be asked back.
Since Reynolds' departure, the show has brought in a series of “trial hosts” such as Renee Elise Goldsberry, Kelly Monaco, Susan Lucci, Robin Givens, Mo'Nique and Shannen Doherty, singers Brandy Norwood and American Idol contestants Katharine McPhee and Kellie Pickler, who were all hoping to take over her spot. The producers have not announced who the lucky lady will be yet.
