In her self-serving blog, Rosie admits she wanted to “gay up” The Price is Right. One of her ideas was to replace The Price Is Right girls with some Chippendale-style male prize presenters. Hmm. Lesbian hostess “gays up” a show by … firing females and hiring males? Just what kind of lesbianism is that?

O’Donnell rationalizes endlessly in her rant, saying, “In the end, they turned me down because CBS thought I was too controversial, which wouldn’t have been the case …I just wanted to ‘gay it up.’ I wasn’t going to give away a TV set and rant, ‘So you can watch George Bush and Dick Cheney lie to America on it!’”

But Rosie isn’t heading to Destination: Vacation Home Orlando just yet. Her next gig, according to several media reports, is an extended run on FX’s Nip/Tuck.

Maybe if the Nip/Tuck docs do their job right, they’ll extend the outspoken liberal’s life by 20 years by getting her down to a healthy size. But, uh… it would be unkind to hope otherwise.

One can always count on Rosie to fill the pages of Hollywood Idiocy on a slow news day…

But he’ll have to move fast to get past the sound machines the other nets are blowing her way; the latest hot rumor is O’Donnell wants to replace Bob Barker on The Price is Right.

Actually, the job could be a great fit for Rosie if she sticks to being a game show host and keeps the politics out of it. But the likelihood of that is about equal to the likelihood of Don Imus becoming the next head women’s basketball coach at Rutgers.
