Rosie Is Leaving The View! Trump Is So Pleased With Himself.

Rosie O'Donnell announced that she will be leaving The View mid-June of this year once her contract with ABC expires. Rosie opted to sign a one year deal with ABC Daytime, where the network had wanted her to sign for three.

"This has been an amazing experience, and one I wouldn't have traded for the world. Working with Barbara, Joy and Elisabeth has been one of the highlights of my career, but my needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me. To all the viewers out there, I just want to say 'thank you' for opening up your hearts and your homes to me this past year. But you can always find me at rosie.com. Here's hoping there's more confetti for all of us going forward."

Barbara Walters reponded to say that she had nothing to do with Rosie departure and wishes she would stay.

"I induced Rosie to come back to television on 'The View' even for just one year. She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year. I am very sad that ABC Daytime could not reach an agreement with her for a second year. We will all miss Rosie on 'The View,' and hope she will be back with us often next season. She remains for me a cherished friend and colleague."

"We have had, to say the least, an interesting year … an exciting, fun-filled, provocative year. We have all gotten together and you will be missed," Walters said, adding, "I do not participate in the negotiations for Rosie. It was between your representatives and agents. This is not my doing."

Brian Frons, president of daytime programming for ABC said, "That's the business, and something we knew was a real possibility the entire time. So we part as friends, and hope that we can entice Rosie back next year to take part in a series of one-hour specials for us like our recent show on autism. And maybe, if we're lucky, we'll be able to convince her to guest co-host once in a while as well."

The View should prepare themselves for a big ratings dive. That is unless they get another colourful commentator.

Gwyneth & Courtney - New BF's

Courtney Love & Gwyneth Paltrow have been spending quite a bit of time together in Los Angeles lately. You might say Gwynnie is the one who got Courtney on the macrobiotic diet she says helped her lose over 50 lbs. Courtney completely denies surgery of any kind, just good old fashion diet and exercise. Gwyneth has been macrobiotic for years and is practices yoga and pilates religiously. The odd couple were seen out at Wolfgang Puck's Beverly Hills restaurant Cut on Monday night.

That's not all. The pair was lucky enough to run into The Cruise's while they were dining.........

Usmagazine.com has learned that Paltrow, 34, and Love, 42, who first met in 1997, have rekindled a friendship that had broken off after Paltrow began spending most of her time in London.

A source tells us now that Paltrow is back working more in Los Angeles, the pair has been hanging out and "bonding over yoga," which Love recently began practicing in earnest as part of her new health regime (Love has lost 50 pounds since December).

"Gwen's happpy to see Courtney healthy and happy again and wants to be there for her and help her acting comeback," says a source, adding that Paltrow refers to Love's recent era of substance abuse as a time when the rocker was "out sick."

Fellow Cut diners Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at one point in the night stopped by Paltrow's table to say hello, with Cruise putting his arm around Love with the kind of exuberance we haven't seen since he went on Oprah. "You look like a movie star!" Cruise was overheard telling Love.

Aniston Signs With SmartWater

Us Magazine has learned exclusively that Aniston is closing a deal with Glaceau, the makers of smartwater, to be the face of its next worldwide advertising campaign.

Aniston, who over the years has appeared in ads for everything from Heineken beer to Lynx deodorant, is expected to appear in ads for smartwater, an "electrolyte enhanced" drink with the slogan "water that's the envy of all water."

Says a source close to the deal, "Jen has a clean image and that's smartwater's whole image, so she's perfect for it."

I totally believe this rumour. Since I, and others, posted pictures of Jen with a bottle countless times a over the last month, I had noticed some readers had found my site by googling Aniston and smartwater. At least a couple dozen times. Glaceau obviously caught wind of this. Or Aniston's people contacted their people about all the free publicity they were getting. I hope she can put the bottle down once in awhile.

And ya, it may just be water, but damn it tastes good.

And my boobs are completely out of control.
When my milk comes in, I'm going to be able to feed a small village."

The rebel against the skinny jean is here and it's not going to stop. Wide-legged denim is popping up all over Hollywood.

This issue of Life&Style Weekly gives us their picks for the hottest styles on the racks. What do you think? Can you see yourself in a pair?

Brit's Father Won't Back Her Up

Britney Spears father, Jamie, says she has no one to blame but herself if her career is toast.

In a statement to Page Six yesterday, Jamie sticks up for Britney's manager Larry Rudolph - who was fired by Britney last Friday, as we first reported.

Britney was furious with Rudolph for forcing her into the Promises rehab clinic in February after she went out almost every night for a month, posed for photos in her underwear with New York dancers and shaved her head.

Jamie Spears told us in an e-mail: "When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done. She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life.

"The Spears family would like to publicly apologize to Larry for our daughter's statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney. For this, we will forever be grateful to him."

Britney told us via her rep, "I am praying for my father. We have never had a good relationship. It's sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman's love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now."

A pal of Britney said the pop tart "had no drugs in her system when she was admitted to Promises - they [tested her] and there was nothing. She was embarrassed she had to go in there when she knew she was suffering from postpartum depression, not a drug or alcohol problem."

Paris Is This Close To Jailbait

Paris Hilton was ordered Tuesday to appear in court May 4 for allegedly violating her probation in a reckless driving case by driving with a suspended driver’s license.

City prosecutors are seeking to revoke Hilton’s probation on grounds that she violated its conditions, which could result in a sentence of up to 90 days in jail.

In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood and was sentenced to 36 months’ probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

On Feb. 28, she was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license after her car was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard. Police said they saw her car speeding with its headlights off.

Hilton, 26, wasn’t present for Tuesday’s hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer. The hearing was conducted almost entirely with lawyers at the bench speaking in hushed tones with the judge.

Hilton’s spokesman, Elliot Mintz, has said that at the time, Hilton wasn’t aware that her license had been suspended.

Not only is she forgetful - she's a liar.

Paula Acts The Diva - Passengers Laugh

Paula Abdul was booked on a sold-out Southwest Airlines flight from San Jose to Burbank. She demanded first class treatment even though there was no first class section on the airline.

“She asked to be let on the plane and seated first,” an “eyewitness” told the Star. When Abdul was told that only young children, people with disabilities and the elderly were allowed to board early, she reportedly declared, “But I’m famous! I need to go on first!”

A number of fellow passengers heard the exchange, and one shouted at her: “You’re no Sanjaya! You have to board like everyone else.” That, according to the source, prompted a round of laughter from the others — except Abdul.

Once boarding began, Abdul pushed her way in front of the rest of the passengers so that she did get on first, and tried to keep the seat next to her empty, telling others it was taken. Finally, a flight attendant told her she had to give up the seat because the flight was full. Abdul kept her head bowed and reportedly was “twitchy” during much of the trip.

Linds Has Lost Her Mind....Again

Lindsay Lohan granted Allure Magazine a rather strange interview.

"When my friends and family are around me I feel like they're safe . . . When my friends have left me - I've just seen everything collapse. They're not safe without me," the starlet eerily told the magazine. Lohan also discussed her quick stint in rehab, explaining that she doesn't plan to stop going out to clubs and partying and declaring, "That's my life!"

She also compared herself to Marilyn Monroe and claimed to be shocked she ended up needing treatment: "It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said I would die before I went to rehab." After clearly stating her plans to continue club-hopping and to keep her friends close for their protection, the conflicted party girl adds, "Everybody's tired of hearing things about me and them . . . I think it's just better for me to lie low and get better."

Huh?

She Said It

"I was a member of a group called the Kissy Girls. I was very sexual in kindergarten. I created a game where I would kiss the boys and give them cooties. Then we would make out and we would take our clothes off. I got in a lot of trouble!"

"I had started having sex with my boyfriend and the sex and the emotions didn't feel enough. I was no longer a little girl. In a moment of wanting to feel closer to my boyfriend I grabbed a knife and cut him. He cut me back. We had an exchange of something and we were covered in blood, my heart was racing. Then whenever I felt trapped, I'd cut myself. I have a lot of scars. It was an age when I felt adventurous and after a few beers things happened."

Engaged

Did you know? Do you care?

Harrison Ford, 64, popped the question on April Fools Day to girlfriend of 5 years, Calista Flockhart, 42.

Harrison enlisted the help of Calista's six-year-old adopted son Liam for the proposal.

A friend of the couple told Grazia magazine: "He coached Liam to run up to Calista and give her a rehearsed message, 'Mr Ford is going to be my daddy.' Calista just laughed but it was no joke. Harrison then told her he wanted to marry her. She and Liam are absolutely thrilled about the proposal.

"Harrison knows after five years that Calista is the last love of his life. He's been telling everyone he felt it was the right time."

The couple are said to be planning a wedding to take place after the filming of Indiana Jones 4 is complete in the Fall.
