Rosie Slams "Idol" as Racist, Weightist

Rosie O'Donnell laid a smackdown on "American Idol" this morning from her perch on "The View," saying that "Idol" canned former contestant Frenchie Davis for her breast-baring snapshots, but kept current wannabe Antonella Barba despite hers -- because Davis is black and fat and Barba is, well, not.

"It's weightist and wacist," said Rosie, doing her best Donald Duck impression. Silly wabbit Wosie, ever heard of Wuben Studdard? Fantasia? Babwa wasn't there to comment.

Rosie, never one to hold back her opinions, also took time out during Hot Topics to blast "The Insider" for propagating the saga of 841-pound Renee Williams, who died yesterday from a heart attack.

62. I too am tired of Rosie's pontificating on just about everything! She never has the grace to state that it's her opinion, just tries to jam it down your throat. I also read that frenchie was paid for her photos whereas the other girl's wee sownloaded without her permission. Leave it to Rosie to try to make something out of nothing without bothering to check out all the facts!

64. I'm so freaking tired of people play the race card. One person's pictures are nudes, the other's are party pictures ( pictures NOT disclosed by her, meaning she wasn't trying to make $$ from them).. 2 different things.

65. What the hell is weightist? Pretty soon she will start saying, "that is Rosieist" for anyone that disagrees with her.
Blubbering softball player. Hey I killed two birds with one stone.

67. Babs should be so embarrassed that she hired such an enormous oaf as a co-host. Rosie doesn't know her ass from her elbow yet she yaps on and on and on and on. Sewer mouth!

68. What a dummy. Who cares what she says anyway. Antonella will be gone soon because of her voice and like everyone else has already pointed out, Frenchie's nudity was for monetary gain..Antonella's was just bad judgment. Rosie is a big mouthed cow...who can't even do a good Donald Duck impersonation. Barbara should can her ASAP.

70. I also agree with Rosie but I have to say that things have changed much in the world of celebrities since the Frenchie incident. We have so many celebrities with questionable photos that it's just plain old white bread now.
They show "it" enough that it becomes acceptable and our teens copy it and the media does their job in life...........It's like the media making us think we are losing the war in Iraq! They tell us we are enough that we begin to think it. yikes............

71. Rosie is just too quick to flap her gums about issues. First of all Frenchie posed topless on a web site for money. The bucky beaver chick took these pictures with her boyfriend who leaked them to the press. There is a difference. Rosie once again looks like the pile of cow dung that is she.

72. And you all hate rosie becauuuse? Shes Gay, Overweight, or speaks her mind? What did she ever do thats ilegal, immoral or indecent? Shes right, 1 rule should apply to everyone, regardless who, what and where they are, beauty sells, beauty changes rules.. look at our supposed "role models" to date? Hiltons, Spears, Anna Nicole Smiths, I would rather my kids listen to the rosies then the hiltons, spears, ANS ect... idiots!! Whats the difference if an opionion is stated in our living rooms or in the public eye, thats why we have freedom of speech, go attack Ann Coulter, shes the pig, but its OK for her to speak HER mind publically, because shes straight and somewhat attractive...

73. She claims "idol" is being "weightist" but what is she doing showing the lady that was so big and had the surgery and died, doesn't that put her in the same place. She seems to think she has the final say about EVERYTHING even if she has no clue what she is talking about, which is MOST of the time.

74. Even though I agree with Rosie on this one, I believe there are classier ways to get your point across. She's alienating everyone. She needs more dick and less pussy.

75. HMMM makes you wonder why on "the views' website http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/show.html you cannot email ROSIE you can email everyone BUT Rosie. Another bully move, she can dish it she can't take. I think we all need to over load the view's email with bullshit about Rosie!!
