Barbara Walters has "no regrets" over hiring Rosie
Barbara speaks!!! Miss Walters, the co-producer of "The View" on which she also appears on several times a week, weighed in Thursday on the Rosie vs. Donald Chump feud. The Donald, with all the maturity of a third-grader, was quoted as saying that Walters "hates" Rosie and regrets hiring her to be on the show.
Walters, in a statement to In Touch magazine, begs to differ:
"Donald Trump is a personal friend of mine and has been a good friend to The View for many years," she tells In Touch. "I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of The View. I certainly hope and expect that this tempest will pass quickly."

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

Glad to see Ms. Walters standing up for her moderator. Rosie certainly has come out looking, well, Rosie in this whole fracas, while the Donald comes out looking like a petulant spoiled brat.
