Barbara Walters wants Rosie O'Donnell to stop blogging
People.com has excerpts of Barbara's "Newsweek" magazine interview, in which she admits her disdain for O'Donnell negatively commenting on new promotions for "The View."
Barbara Walters grew disappointed with O'Donnell upon learning what the comedian had posted on her Web site. "I saw the new view promos," O'Donnell innocently began. "Found myself/ in the position/ I loathe the most/ powerless."
Perhaps the last statement is what prompted Walters to tell "Newsweek," "I didn't like the blog." Walters went on to explain her hopes for the show, "I'm counting on Rosie's intelligence and sensitivity and humor... This is, after all, an entertainment show. It is based on people who like each other and are having a good time, not on people who are arguing and unhappy."
But the view got better between Walters and O'Donnell. Shortly after the interview with "Newsweek" ended, Walters called the magazine with great news. She told the magazine she had just received flowers from O'Donnell. The card attached read, "Barbara, I only want the promos and the show to be great. And I love you. Love, Ro."
