Months after stepping down as the bombastic moderator of The View, Rosie O'Donnell finally admits her real reason for her abrupt exit: Barbara Walters had her canned. The ugly truth came out during Roseanne Barr's late night set at Comix (where, incidentally, the laughter was also canned) where O'Donnell also shared a few of Barbara's more intimate nighttime rituals.

Rosie started off by saying, "When I was fired by Barbara Walters" - the first time she didn't stick to "The View's" spin that her departure from the show was by mutual agreement.

Rosie claimed onstage that Walters and other "View" couchmates wear earpieces through which producers tell them what to say, which she refused to do.

Rosie also confided that she and the veteran newswoman were actually so close early on in her tenure as moderator that Walters recommended Rosie use Astroglide, which, she added, took her by surprise.

And while we're not particularly shocked by O'Donnell's admission that Walters showed her the door, we are slightly traumatized by the fact that we're now privy to Barb's preferred brand of lubrication. In fact, it's pretty much the second grossest View related news we've heard all week, right behind the revelation that Whoopi Goldberg's always fantasized about a Nancy (and Paul) Pelosi "sandwich."
