Www.perezhilton.com and www.dlisted.com both report that in her new book, "Celebrity Detox," Rosie O'Donnell tells 77-year-old Barbara Walters to retire already. Following Rosie's feud with Donald Trump this past season on The View, insiders in all celebrity gossip magazines reported that Barbara hinted to Trump that Rosie might not stay long in her tenure on The View, leading most to believe that some secret conflict was hidden on The View set. After her enormous blowout with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck in May, Rosie left the show for good with only two weeks left in her tenure. On her blog, Rosie mentioned that she would be writing a book to describe her tumultuous and controversial year which boasted the highest ratings the show had ever enjoyed. Rosie hints at Barbara's jealousy of her when she explains that during the shooting of each show, audience members would scream, "I love you Rosie!" Barbara would dryly reply, "It is impolite to say I love you to one person when there are four of us up here." About Barbara herself, she adds, "At some point, a person gets tired. It's inevitable. Barbara Walters is almost twice my age. At some point it becomes necessary to step back. Everyone has to go. Going is part of the gig." Later, she mentions, "I would be less-than-honest if I were to say that there is no trouble between Barbara and I. I mean, our differences are obvious." Personally, I am still sad to no longer see Rosie's name among the co-hosts of The View, but I suppose her book will justify everything. As for Barbara, I have to mention that I become annoyed at her incoherence and attempts at name-dropping in every show. To Barbara, no one cares that you receive Christmas cards from Tom Cruise. Leave it be. For now, I will cheer for Elisabeth. (Note: Hooray to new co-host, Sherri Shepard! She is incredibly funny! Finally, Star Jones-Reynolds' spot has been filled.) The internet is going ga-ga for the new youtube message video made by Chris Crocker, who whines and cries for three minutes about Britney's downward spiral, but more particularly, about the "b*stards" she performed for at the VMAs on Sunday night. MTV reports that "viewership for the big show was up 23% over last year! 7.1 million people watched the VMAs on Sunday." Perhaps this crazy dude was correct in his assumption that Britney was exploited. Www.dlisted.com said it best: "B*tch can wail!" Boy, that's so true! The best part is where Chris says that everyone who has something degrading to say about her has to go through him first. I think I would like his address just because it would amuse me to fight this guy. ...although they DO say never to fight a crazy person. (For the hopelessly hilarious video, copy and paste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc into your browser. Don't forget to turn the volume down because he is loud!) On Monday, the Queen of Pop, Madonna, was spotted leaving London's Claridge Hotel with a bag exposing a Purple Penetrator strap-on. Everyone knows that she has always been, by all means and purposes, a nymphomaniac, but this reaches new levels of grossness.

On a final note, www.dlisted.com and www.tmz.com both report that former Full House star, Jodie Sweetin, best known as middle child, Stephanie Tanner, is pregnant with the child of new husband, Cody Herpin. Perhaps their choice to elope in Vegas was really a shotgun wedding? Curious. On the real final note, www.perezhilton.com, among others, reports that Academy-Award winner and American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson has been cast in the new "Sex and the City" film as Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie)'s assistant. Again...curious.
