That which we call a Rosie, by any other word would probably smell just as contentious...

I'm all about having strong opinions. I mean, I don't exactly have any, but I admire those who do. However, there's something about the volatility and pushiness of Rosie O'Donnell's delivery, that lacks the boozy, cleavage-laden charm of a Janice Dickinson, for example.

And Rosie's most recent target is "American Idol," which she labeled this week as "sexist and weightist" on "The View." Citing similarities between the nude photo fiasco which surrounded former contestant, Frenchie Davis and the one that currently plagues Idol wannabe, Antonella Barba, Rosie believes that Davis was booted from the show, while Barba continues to compete because of their differing size and race. I don't know...I mean, I just can't get too excited over this, mostly because I haven't really watched that much American Idol. All I know is that Jennifer Hudson didn't win and she seems to be doing just fine, despite the fact that from where I'm standing, she doesn't appear to resemble a skinny white girl.

Rosie's also recently revealed that her bout with depression was alleviated greatly by medication, and she stated that, "it saved my life." Is it too much to ask that a Rosie O'Donnell/Tom Cruise blowout happen? If she's going to pick a fight, then she should at least pick one I'd have an interest in watching.
