Early departure
Memorial Day Weekenders are not the only ones ducking out early today.
Rosie is not returning to The View following Wednesday's smack down between her and Elizabeth Hasselbeck. They always fight, but this one was different and got extremely personal. I heard rumors that Rosie trashed her dressing room after the show. She did post on her blog that night that she wouldn't return, so today isn't surprising, just official.
TMZ's report:
Rosie to Leave "The View"
ABC has just announced that Rosie O'Donnell will not be back on "The View."Brian Frons, President of ABC Daytime, issued the following statement:
"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to 'The View' and wish her well."
Barbara Walters said "I brought Rosie to the show. Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at "The View." I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."
For her part, Rosie said "I'm extremely grateful. It's been an amazing year and I love all three women."

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I stayed up very late last night watching The View clips on YouTube and while I'm disappointed that Rosie left, I can't blame her for not ever wanting to see Eliz's face again.
I'm surprised it never happened before now. I imagine this show will be unbearably bland without her.
And no need to be embarrassed - that's what Friday nights are for!
