Rosie Loses Her View

OUT Rosie
Rosie O'Donnell just bid farewell to her View cohosts, explaining that, "I've decided and we couldn't come to terms with ABC ... I will be coming back and guest hosting, doing one-hour specials on autism ... I'm just not going to do the every day thing ... They wanted three years. I wanted one year ... And that's showbiz."

Barbara Walters was the next to jump in, gushing, "You will be missed very much." Then she added: "I would like to make one thing perfectly clear, that I did not participate in the negotiations for Rosie. I'm going to read that I did this and I did that, and it brings back a lot of other things I was accused of doing and I didn't do ... This is not my doing or my choice."

O'Donnell said she'd be around until the end of June. "They're not kicking me out, don't worry."

Too eager...too "sincere"...reads smoke screen to me. Imagine, plotting how to fool the audience: "Okay, you say..., and then I'll say..., and be sure it sounds real... You promise? I don't want anyone thnking I was fired!" This is all very sudden and un-Rosie like.
