While promoting her upcoming variety show
Rosie Live yesterday, Rosie O'Donnell shocked exactly no one by dishing dirt on her former
View cohosts. "[Barbara Walters] wanted everyone to believe and think and act as if we get along and are really good friends and happy and hang out together, and, you know, that's just not the reality," O'Donnell
said . "I'm not saying they loathe each other, but the fact of the matter is, there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera." We've heard
similar stories , but O'Donnell's comments at least compelled the co-hosts to summon some
on-screen camaraderie today in order to denounce both Rosie and
intermittent Barbara-basher Star Jones. Sadly, we fear that their ridiculously transparent "The Former Co-hosts Who Must Not Be Named" shtick will only open the door for a publicity-hungry Debbie Matenopolous to attempt an unsolicited, aggrieved rebuttal in the pages of
Life & Style.
