Rosie's b-day celebration on "The View"

| | Comments (1) |

aaaro.jpgIt was a lovefest this morning on "The View" which was devoted to Rosie O'Donnell's 45th birthday. The casts of the Broadway musicals "Les Miserables," "A Chorus Line" and "The Color Purple" all performed in honor of Rosie, one of the biggest boosters Broadway has ever had.
Said Rosie: "Come to New York! See a Broadway show. You will love, love, love it!"
Rosie's co-hosts gave her presents including Joy Behar who gave Rosie a toy dump truck that had Donald Trump's face in the drivers seat. Dump Truck is O'Donnell's nickname for Donald Trump. To see a video of that gift exchange, click HERE.
Elisabeth Hasselback gave Rosie a very personal gift: a pair of clogs decopaged with the names of Broadway shows. Such a thoughtful gift comes a day after Rosie and Elisabeth had one of their biggest verbal sparring matches while discussing guest Rory Kennedy's "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib" documentary for HBO. While asking Kennedy a question, Hasselbeck continued at length her opinions on the detention facility angering O'Donnell.
"You have to stop," Rosie stated. "You can't just blather on your opinion. She's here to talk about that, ask her a question."
Apparently the two made up after a series of emotional emails after the show: "I know that I'm loud and I know that I'm twice your weight," Rosie said to Elisabeth, whose conservative views often clash with the very liberal O'Donnell's. After blowing out the candles of her birthday cake, Rosie wished "for the rest of the season there are no feuds!"
