It's True

Rosie's leaving. Just watched her announcement on the show. Chalked up to failed contract negotiations. They went to GREAT (too great?) lengths to clarify that Rosie was not being kicked out. In fact, they wanted her to sign a three year deal, she only wanted one. It went back and forth. Babs made it clear it wasn't her doing. She had no part in the negotiations. It was between Rosie's reps and ABC TV. Blah, blah, blah...

Rosie will stay through the end of her contract in June and then she'll still be on the show from time to time as a "guest host".

They have not thought about replacements yet because they were hoping she was coming back (don't they realize we know this is an outright lie?) Donald Trump might be available - does anyone still watch The Apprentice?

OK, Joan. I haven't checked your blog in a little while, but I see you're doing VEEEERRRY well. (Yes, so sad about Rosie, isn't it?) Here's my question: do you think some of this television viewing time might be better spent with a couple of glasses of wine? :)

Seriously--you're hilarious. I think you could start a whole new career. Send me a note when you manage to break away.

Kirsten! So glad your deadline is past. I'm sure you met it with flying colors. I'll send you a note "on a secure channel" (so Jack Bauer) to pick a date for a visit. Wine and cheese may be involved.

xxoo
