Rosie O'Donnell Strikes Out With MSNBC
"You all heard about the whole big MSNBC thing?" Rosie O'Donnell said in a video on her blog this afternoon. "We were in the bottom of the ninth inning. We were almost there, the game was almost over!" But after she let slip to a blogger in Miami that she was in negotiations with the network to host a one-hour show, the network "panicked" and reneged, she wrote on her blog last night:
2day there is no deal poof my career as a pundit is over b4 it began
According to the Times, however, it wasn't panic that caused MSNBC to cop out, but the fact that Rosie would only commit to a one-year contract — as she had done previously on the View. "It's all right," Rosie sighed on her Webcam. "Maybe being a pundit wasn't what's best for me. You gotta believe, what happens is supposed to happen." We bet Dan Abrams, who's time slot she would have taken, believes that, too!

Rosie Suffers Television Relapse
Rosie O'Donnell's new memoir, Celebrity Detox, is, according to Amazon, all about "withdrawing from celebrity life — and the terrifying dangers of relapsing into the spotlight." But apparently whatever plans her Rosiness had for a simpler life have been put on hold. This past weekend, she was down promoting the book at the Miami Book Fair when she let slip to a superfan, Steve Greenberg, who runs a site called Lyingonthebeach.com, that she had just signed a deal for a new TV show, "competing with the guy with the suspenders and the long, long face." The Times subsequently confirmed that Rosie is in talks with MSNBC to replace Dan Abrams in the 9 p.m. slot, opposite Larry King. But why is she eschewing normal life for the spotlight again? On her Website, a quote from Martha Graham suggests that the girl just can't help it:
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
That's right! If Rosie doesn't share her 9/11 conspiracy theories and smack talk with the world, then there's a chance those brilliant insights will be lost forever. It's not just Rosie's business, it's her responsibility. Rosie O'Donnell to Host Her Own TV Show?

Jessica Simpson's people say she didn't drink and dash at the Box — her friend just accidentally took the receipt slip with him.

Trump Triumphs Over Soho, Tumbles Under O'Donnell
Donald Trump comes out a winner and a loser in the Post today. It's reported that the city will back his 46-story condo-hotel in Soho, despite neighborhood protests that it will change the character of the area and that it violates zoning laws. The building is already eleven stories high, and Trump says, "it will be one of the finest buildings of its kind anywhere in the world." Which is all great and happy-making, but we're a little disappointed with his performance in his latest spat with former View host Rosie O'Donnell. "Page Six" reports that in O'Donnell's book, Celebrity Detox, she takes some potshots at the real-estate mogul. She calls him "a slug," "a torn scarecrow," and "wrinkled, old and empty, with a Jell-O orange combover." Pretty poetic imagery! But all that the usually verbose Trump can come up with in response was "Rosie is a loser and a very sad case — unattractive both inside and out. I'll wager my book sells a lot more than hers." Oh, come on! It's Monday morning. At least call her fat! Trump Triumphs [NYP] Rosie and Trump 'Slug' it Out [NYP]

Harvey, Hillary, and Michael Moore
Michael Moore's new documentary, Sicko, points out how much money Hillary Clinton raises from health-care companies, and Harvey Weinstein tried to get him to remove a scene about it. Angelina Jolie claimed she was sorry Fox News was banned from her A Mighty Heart premiere, but then she banned Us Weekly and Life & Style (but not People and OK!) from the print-press roundtables. Former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey might adopt a kid with his partner. Rosie O'Donnell really wants to host The Price Is Right, but the show's producers may not be into it. Lindsay Lohan may spend her 21st-birthday party in rehab because she is taking it seriously this time. That, or because Pure won't host a party for her. Former senator Al D'Amato may play a judge on Law & Order.

RIP, Isabella
The death of Isabella Blow by either cancer or suicide dominated conversation at the Costume Institute Gala last night.

The widow of Dr. Robert Atkins is embroiled in a legal battle for her late husband's $100 million trust. Rosie O'Donnell is angling for the host slot on The Price Is Right.
