Ellen wins Emmy and pays tribute to Rosie...

ellen.jpgHappy Saturday... I'm in Palm Springs for a getaway weekend at La Dolce Vita Resort working on the tan and trying to get some reading done! But the blog beckons because I just found out that Ellen DeGeneres won the Emmy last night for Outstanding Talk Show host...again. Can't complain really because Ellen rocks. But was rooting for the ladies of "The View" who have never won because it would have been a tribute to Rosie O'Donnell's provocative year on the show.
Ellen was generous to Rosie during her acceptance speech, she told the audience that O'Donnell should have won: "I liked what she did. This was the year she should have won. I wanted to acknowledge Rosie because she has done a lot. ... I don't know who should replace her, but I don't think it should be Paris Hilton. That would not work," she said.
According to TMZ.com, retiring "Price is Right" host Bob Barker also gave props to Rosie and said he thought she'd be a great replacement for him. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know."
A lady host? Bob really is 83 years old...
