THE VIEW: More Rosie/Star Tension

[King]

That's good?

God, the look on her face is priceless.

[Ms. Walsh]

If Star leaves before Rosie comes on, it would be so anti-climactic.

I was watching this show on CNN this weekend, and it mentioned that Rosie wrote a poem about Star Jones on her blog. Here it is:

"Star View"

29 March 2006

there is drama at the view

regis went on yesterday

and said

hey there is an elephant in the living room

no one likes to pretend

as if it were real

there comes a point

where u become complicit

star jones had weight loss surgery

she had part of her stomach bypassed

that is how she lost 1/2 herself

she refuses to say this

which is her right

but we do not have to pretend

we do not know

any fatty will tell u

it is nearly impossible to go

from where she was

to where she is

without medical intervention

dats da fact jack

and it is ok

talk to ur doctor

decide for yourself

if this is the option for u

by all means do it

it is hard to be fat

u get tired

ur knees hurt

people stare at u

think u less then

u feel less then

when i see one of r own

fly away from planet plus

i wave with misty eyes

proud astonished worried

we have a high recidivism rate

we us r tribe

sis and bros we

large

so star shrinks b4 our eyes

we know the truth

but nod as she talks about

pilates and will power

i am sure star jones

beneathe the beyonce bravado

is a scared lil girl

who grew her body big

strong and safe

there is no delete button

in real life

george bush

talking about the success

in iraq

with star like showmanship

he thinking we still believe

what we know is not true

we dont buy it

peace to star jones

every wave hits the shore

It's kind of funny, but it sounds like a 6-year-old wrote this crap! Rosie, it's called SPELL CHECK! WTF!

Rosie's blog is...well, interesting!

Star has so many enemies. My favourite feud is between her and Conan O'Brien. I remember he did a Star joke when Barbara and Joy were on...he doesn't care! All he has to say is, "Star Jones is in the news today..." and the audience is on the floor laughing b/c they know that he doesn't care b/c she probably hates his guts.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Rosie's blog SUCKS ASS. I really don't know what is wrong that poor girl. These AREN'T POEMS. They're not art. They're blogs. Stop writing them in this form!!!#$%#$%#$

[Pine Charles]

Why should you care how she writes her own blog? Is she forcing you to read it?

[JERSoapsFan]

I can appreciate that you think I'm overreacting, Pine Charles, and understand why you might think that. And who knows, perhaps I am, but to answer your questions, 1) Because I'm her audience, I get to care how she writes her blog and 2) In a way, yes, she is forcing others outside her personal friend circle to read her blog due to her celebrity. I might add that I also felt it was my duty to call her out on the ridiculous format because she's deceiving people who aren't educated enough to know the difference in good poetry and bad poetry (or in her case, faux poetry, which looks like a poem, reads like a poem but ain't a poem!) As the U.S. Supreme Court affords anyone the right to offer fair comment on a public personality, I will choose to exercise that right whenever I see someone quoting her blog and calls it a poem. Honestly, it's not a poem. It doesn't mean I want her head for this faux pas (that would be overreacting), but I am currently lobbying for a change to her format, if not a public apology for discrediting legitimate poets everywhere.

Well looks like fireworks are flying already with Star and Rosie and she hasn't even started working on the set of The View yet.It'll be interresting to see who stays on there the longest Star or Rosie.My dibs are on Rosie.

[DevotedToAMC]

If it means Starr gets up and quits, I love it

[GENERALHOSPITALTHEBESTSOAPONTV!]

I agree

[WTGH]

Star is BY FAR the lesser of two evils.

I hate Rosie.
