Everything’s Coming up Rosie!

Watched Rosie O'Donnell's first week on The View (thank you TiVo, you're the best spouse anyone could ask for), and I have to say this: I missed her a lot.I missed the brashness. I missed the in-your-face jokes. I even missed the discussion of her kids. I adore Ellen DeGeneres, but these days I'm enjoying Rosie and company (Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck are fine, but it's really Rosie's show now -- in this photo it looks like Walters is pulling out one of O'Donnell's infamous chin hairs).At the end of the week, Rosie wished to express some disappointment that four whole shows had gone by and they hadn't done anything Broadway. Then she proceeded to give the audience tickets to The Wedding Singer. OK, so it's not exactly a great give-away, but it's a national plug for a Broadway musical. Go, Rosie!And I'm sure we can count on Ms. O'Donnell to liven up The View with more Broadway stars and performances.You've probably heard of Rosie's blog (Walters was supposedly miffed by it, but they squashed those rumors last week). If you haven't read it, you should check it out. It's a stream-of-consciousness flow of thoughts that reads sort of like poetry. Sample it here.
