After months of rumors and one feud with Donald Trump that has gone on way (WAAAAAY) too long, Rosie O'Donnell may be leaving The View. According to TMZ, she is expected to make the announcement on air this morning, but stick it out on the show until the end of the season. Rosie has been surrounded by both controversy and praise since she joined the cast.
Her just under a year on The View will probably be best remembered for her extremely (and annoyingly) public argument with Donald. It's honestly hard to remember what it was originally about (Miss USA? Really?), but it got particularly ugly when he brought Barbara Walters' rumored distaste for Rosie on the show into the picture.
Who knows what the full reasons are for Rosie's supposed exit, like whether it was her doing or she was urged out, though something tells me we'll find out. Secrets don't seem to exist with that bunch. May I respectfully suggest that Barbara take this as a cue to shut down the show entirely? The tension between the women on that show is palpable these days. Stay tuned for updates as we figure out the full story!

As many of you know Madonna holds a very special place in my heart. She's more than an entertainer to many of us - she's an inspiration. We just want to congratulate Madonna on 25 years of fabulousness - music, fashion, motherhood and more. We can't wait to see what she has in store for us in the future. Here's more from Madonna's official website:
It may seem like only yesterday but 25 years ago on April 24, 1982, Sire Records honcho Seymour Stein released a single called "EVERYBODY" on Warner Bros. Records by an unknown singer from Rochester, Michigan by the name of Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. To say the world would never be the same is an understatement. The song went on to become a huge dancefloor hit and was heard all over the radio in the Summer of 1982. That little girl from Michigan would go on to become one of the most famous entertainers and cultural icons in history - selling close to 200 million records and remaining a star of enormous magnitude and influence for the next 25 years. She's just getting started. Long Live the Queen and Happy Anniversary to Madonna.
Ashlee and Pete continued their love fest by sharing Frappuccinos the other day in Beverly Hills. Pete is about to venture into a different kind of drinking world. He is opening up a bar called Angels & Kings in NYC next week. He recently sat down with New York Magazine to tell them all about it. We were hoping he'd say something about Ashlee since the last time he bad mouthed her, but no such luck. Here's more:
What kind of changes will you make to the bar?:
Dudes can use the chicks’ bathroom and vice versa, so that girls don’t have to wait in line. And we’re raising the D.J. booth because the D.J. should be like God. He shouldn’t have to deal with anyone trying to talk to him. We’re not trying to make a pile of cash and have this place that’s written up everywhere —it’s just a cool idea.
What about the tentative opening night, April 30. Are you planning anything special?
For sure! I’m gonna watch all my friends get wasted and puke everywhere. It’s gonna be really funny. And since I was little dude, I’ve always had a dream of sliding somebody down the bar. You know what I’m talking about? Like they did in cowboy movies? I think I might make that a reality.
Sometimes it's hard to really visualize what these two would talk about when they're together. I guess there's always the pseudo punk thing, the skinny jean look and eye make up tips.
The stars of Heroes were out in their Springtime best last night to celebrate the show being back on air after a hiatus (and what an exciting episode it was). Noticeably absent from both the show and the party was Hayden's character Claire's BFF, Zach. Apparently he was written off Heroes when his manager had a fit over the character of Zach being gay. Wow, you'd think that the young actor's management would want to do what they could to keep him on the hit series. I'd also like to believe we've come farther than that in the field of typecasting. The show must go on, however, and judging from last night's episode, there's a lot more excitement to come this season!
