What would a day be without a couple of Rosie O'Donnell items?
Rosie makes the world so much more interesting. Sometimes, I worry that she goes to far but overall, I share many of her sensibilities.
On her blog, Rosie had a litte something for "American Idol" producer Nigel Lythgoe who her remarks about his being show being racist and weightist "absurd," "ridiculous," "self-promotional" and "without thought or knowledge."
This is from Rosie.com:

Rosie appears to be equating Lythgoe with Sam Riddle ("sam r"), the producer of "Star Search," where O'Donnell got her start by winning several weeks in a row.

On Friday's episode of "The View," which was pre-taped earlier in the week, was devoted to women and depression and Rosie shared that she began treatment for depression after the Columbine school shootings and hangs upside down for up to a half-hour a day to improve her mental state.
When teen gunmen killed 13 people at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, O'Donnell said she felt as if it had happened to her children.
''I couldn't stop crying,'' she said. ''I stayed in my room. The lights were off. I couldn't get out of bed and that's when I started taking medication.''
She says anyone concerned about the stigma of taking medication for depression (like her one-time boy crush Tom Cruise?) should know that ''it saved my life,'' she said.
When she began taking antidepressants, Rosie says she began yoga and ''inversion therapy,'' where she hangs upside down by a swing for 15 to 30 minutes a day. She demonstrated it on the show.
O'Donnell said she also has seasonal affective disorder, often called SAD, the wintertime blues that can strike when the days grow short. SAD is characterized by recurrent major depressive episodes during the fall and winter. She says she is ''instantly happy'' on sunny days but feels as if she's being tortured when it's cloudy. She feels the most important thing to do when you're feeling depressed is to get up and move.
''Like in 'The Wizard of Oz' the color goes out,'' she said. ''That is what happens in depression. Everything gets gray.''
