ROSIE O'DONNELL TELLS ROSEANNE BARR SHE WAS FIRED FROM THE VIEW AT COMIX

Rosie O'Donnell and Roseanne Barr

It's always interesting hitting the town in New York City. The other night Public Relations powerhouse Claire O'Connor invited Blond Ambition author Rita Cosby down to Comix Comedy Club at 353 West 14th street, to catch Roseanne Barr in a surprise performance. And of course Times Square Gossip just happened to be there. But the real surprise came when out of the audience former View co-host Rosie O'Donnell jumped onstage for a little Barbara Walters bashing. Rosie started off by saying, "When I was fired by Barbara Walters" - the first time she didn't stick to "The View's" spin that her departure from the show was by mutual agreement. Rosie claimed onstage that Walters and other "View" hosts wear earpieces through which producers tell them what to say, which she refused to do. Rosie also confided that she and the veteran newswoman were actually so close early on in her tenure as moderator that Walters recommended Rosie use Astroglide, which, she added, took her by surprise."But she paved the way for women," Rosie allowed. "She interviewed Presidents ... " "Like Abraham Lincoln," snapped Barr. Afterwords as everyone was exiting the club, Rita Cosby ran into Roseanne Barr. When Cosby offered her a copy of her best selling book, Roseanne said: " I have it already". Only in New York !

tmz.com Then go see Anna N Smith is side bar. Click on any of the stories. At the top of that pager, type in criminal probe.

Rita has bigger balls than Howard and yet she has no balls... can you figure that one out?

She lives her morality as most of us do. Hmmm. Speaks loudly about Howie, Larry, Goen, Dr. Evil, Moe, Tas and a few judges, does it not? Rita's witnesses are better at truth than you would offer in you stuttering, eye avoidance, drama queens doing a mega glitz party for a baby who will never recall it; nor will she recall the trip to Hawaii.. She will ask questions about her mother and her brother and the host of others who never assisted her mother to a better life.

Larry thinks it is okay to get on with his life and leave the baby with nannies 24/7? Well, AIDs does a brain meltdown... the it will claim the lives of these two losers...There. I have spoken what many of us have wondered.

Which witnesses would you find not creditable and why? That is a very broad statement. You are implying that all the sources for Rita's book are being dishonest and all the time. For what gain? There are several I do not believe most of the time; they have each stated on paid TV several stories for what they said was the truth. Other words, they have lied. Do they have a reputation for dishonesty, a financial or personal gain? Yes, Those Rita interviewed as sources have not been paid, they are not into spin for dollars.

Rita is solid and this spin won't upset her.
