In what could quite possibly be the only GREAT news I heard all weekend, Rosie O'Donnell has single-handedly killed the television variety show once again. After one--and mercifully ONLY one--appearance on NBC on Wednesday night, Rosie Live is dead.
Semi-celebrity O'Donnell, most famous these days for her public feuds with fellow semi-celebrities Donald Trump and Barbara Walters, managed to turn off most of America with her first show which was seen by an even smaller audience than NBC's stellar remake of Knight Rider. As Rosie herself put it on her blog, "there will b no more...no ratings/bad reviews/yet still a thrill 4 me," evidently not even mustering up enough enthusiasm to use proper English and complete sentences. Maybe she'll get a new job writing vanity license plates.
The good news is Rosie can now go back to fighting with Barbara Walters full-time, something we have absolutely no problem ignoring. We're silently praying they both kill each other, or, at the very least, get hit by a bus while arguing in the middle of Times Square.
Especially during the holiday season, it's important to pursue your dreams.
I couldn't be happier for her!

Could have been worse. She could have come out on stage in her birthday suit!
