Rosie O'Donnell Punches Random Keyboard Keys to Announce Blogging Exit

i am taking off august

2 c if i can
rosie unplugged
happy summer peeps
peace in
peace out

That's Rosie O'Donnell's (temporary?) farewell to blogging, which has just exhausted the mother of four. "It's too much," says the former and maybe-future television star. Also: She was tired of all your bitching.

So why is the famously opinionated former View co-host stopping now? "It gets to a point where it’s too much. It's too draining," she says. "There's too much incoming of other people's opinions and I'm like, 'Okay, you know what? I'm gonna stop.' "

Feedback on the blog has also affected her ability to lock in future projects, including a talk show or variety show she has hinted may find its way to television. "Career-wise, something will be rumored or leaked and then I'll have 5,000 questions: "Is this true?' So I’m gonna stop for a while."

She has nothing to say, once she bolted from the View and her fight with Elisabeth was no longer news what did she have to say. Not a word, there is also a hint that she and her partner are splitting, I wouldnt be surprised.

No. 3 thefrontpage says:

We're tired of O'Donnell, too. She ruined and killed McCall's magazine, ruined a Broadway show, ruined the View, ruined her daytime talk show, ruined her connection to the public, and ruined her career by constantly angering people. She needs to find a medium or career that she likes, knows and has a talent for, and one that will not anger everyone, and then do that quietly. If she can't do that, then she needs to just stay out of the limelight, and enjoy her quiet, non-public, very private retirement.
