Rosie's View

Rosie O'Donnell announced today that she is leaving her position as moderator on The View in mid-June when her initial contract with the show expires. Apparently, she was unable to reach an agreement on a contract renewal with ABC. Despite her leaving the show, creator, producer, and fellow co-host Barbara Walters says they are leaving on good terms.

Too bad. As much as I think she can be a heinous bitch at times (and look how sweet she looks in this picture...there is a certain sense of fire underneath her smile though, isn't there?), I was quite enjoying her comeback to TV. And the increase in Broadway performances she brought to The View.

She should create a new form of The Rosie O'Donnell Show...one where she doesn't have to be so sappy sweet. I think she ruined that image of herself after the show ended. She's really great with talk shows, though. I'd like to see her make a full comeback.
