Members WTGH Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 NEW YORK - A reported backstage confrontation, Donald Trump calling Barbara Walters a liar, the developer's feud with Rosie O'Donnell is a gift that keeps on giving for gossip columnists. And it can't get any tougher for the broadcast legend caught in the middle. Trump sent a letter to O'Donnell on Tuesday, distributed by the TV show "The Insider," saying Walters told him in a private conversation that working with O'Donnell is "like living in hell." Trump said Walters called him while on vacation trying to end the feud by apologizing for O'Donnell's behavior. She supposedly told him "Donald, never get in the mud with pigs" and "don't worry, she won't be here for long," according to the letter. He also said he ran into Walters at Le Cirque two months ago and asked how O'Donnell was doing, and Walters said, "Donald, do you have to ruin my meal?" On her daytime chat show last week, Walters said she had never told Trump she didn't want O'Donnell on the show, as he has claimed. "Nothing could be further from the truth," she said. Walters, he said in the letter to O'Donnell on Tuesday, "lied to both of us." The New York Post gossip column Page Six claimed that O'Donnell angrily confronted Walters backstage at "The View" on Monday. She called Walters a liar, too, adding an expletive, the newspaper said. O'Donnell was reportedly angry that Walters didn't call Trump a liar. The newspaper sourced its story about the confrontation by saying "according to spies." Besides keeping "The View" constantly in the news, O'Donnell has substantially increased the show's ratings this season. Trump appeared to get no lift from the feud in the ratings when the latest season of "The Apprentice" started Sunday. The program's ratings fell short of those from last spring's season premiere. Does anyone remember how this feud began? Oh, yes: when O'Donnell said Trump had no right "to be the moral compass for 20-year-olds" as he decided whether Miss USA would keep her crown. He owns the pageant. Another woman caught in the middle — spokeswoman Cindi Berger, who represents both Walters and O'Donnell — said neither had any comment but cryptically suggested viewers tune in to "The View" on Wednesday. "It will be a great show," she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 God. Both people need to go the hell away stat. Even Donald, who I previously supported, needs to shut up more than ever. I think Barbara is too classy to ever say those things. She's the lady Rosie will never be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bree Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 Probably not, but I know this stupid feud has got to be only helping The View. With all that's going on in the world, you would think these losers would have more important things to worry about. They're making four year-olds sqaubbling at daycare look more mature.

Members King Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 AGAIN, I HATE THEM ALL! This is so hard! I don't know who to choose. Especially because, in this case, we don't know what the truth is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daysfan Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 I really don't care, I hate all of them right now. I used to like Donald but currently.....nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tishy Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 It all just makes me laugh. I don't care about any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R3dheartz Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 Wow! This is really getting out of hand. It seems that they are making it a way bigger deal than it is and I woulnd't be surprised if the reasoning behind it is for ratings. It's kind of funny that the ratings have dropped. Remember last year when the apprentice was about to premeire Martha Stewart and Donald were having a feud about Martha's "failed" apprentice.

Members Roman Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 It's amazing how every time TA gets ready to start a season, he always gets involved in some type of hype. Then after the season is over, he really has nothing to say. I'm jus surprised anyone still listens to him. As far as she is concerned, she must have taken C4 to every single bridge in her career and dynamited it to smitherines. She has ruined every ingle professional relationship in her career because she thinks everyone gives two damns about her opinions. This whole thing started, once again, because she doesn't know when to say something and when to STFU. Maybe her words would have more weight if she would not always run off at her arrogant mouth. Barbara needs her head examnined for every letting that woman on her show. It may have boosted her ratings, but it is costing her her name. She's becomming just as big a joke as Rosie has been for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 Barbara called Donald a pathetic man today on the View. And I'm glad Rosie mentioned that Donald's ratings tanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
