Say Goodbye To Hollywood
Movin' on is a chance that you have to take
Any time you try to stay - together
Whoa
Say a word out of line
And you find that the friends you had
Are gone forever
ForeverSo many faces in and out of my life
Some will last
Some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
(Billy Joel, Say Goodbye to Hollywood)
Assuming this report is true - and it appears to be so judging from the comment from the star's rep quoted at the end, Rosie O'Donnell might want to brush up on the lyrics of Billy Joel's classic. Because she may well need them soon.
O'Donnell is fuming because Trump went on Larry King two weeks ago - after she had called Trump a "snake-oil salesman" - and said Walters told him she regretted hiring O'Donnell. Trump also blasted the comic as "a horrible human being and a loser."
During her vacation, Walters issued a carefully worded statement saying, "I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of 'The View.' "
After O'Donnell's outburst at Walters yesterday, Geddie jumped in and told her, "You've crossed the line." O'Donnell retorted, "Cameras are now outside of my house where my wife and kids are." She turned to Walters and said, "You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, 'Donald is lying.' You never called him a liar."
When Walters tried to defend herself, O'Donnell erupted, "Are you looking me in the face and denying you didn't tell him you didn't say this? You're a [bleeping] liar."
Rosie is, at very best, a b-list celebrity. Barbara Walters has more than enough inside pull in the industry to make sure even that little bit of stardom goes away for Rosie. Stunningly foolish move. Say goodbye, Rosie.

There’s an old saying about getting too big for your stretch pants…
