On Thursday morning’s “The View,” Rosie O’Donnell dropped a bomb on “American Idol” and attacked America’s three favorite judges.
“If you keep serving people crap, they’re eventually going to think it’s a meal,” Rosie touted. “Three millionaires… one probably intoxicated. So sad.”
Rosie’s new war came the morning after an incredible 32 million people tuned in as Simon, Randy and Paula struggled in Seattle, taking aim at wannabes like Kenneth Briggs.
“You look like one of those creatures in the jungle with those massive eyes, what are they called? Bush baby,” Simon told the “Idol” hopeful.
“To make fun of someone’s physical appearance, is this what America thinks is entertainment?” Rosie challenged.
Only “Extra” had a backstage “View” pass with Thursday’s guest host, “Idol’s” season five sweetheart Kellie Pickler, who found herself caught in the “A.I.” crossfire.
Kellie came to the judges’ defense, insisting, “We all knew when we got in line for ‘American Idol’ there was a chance we could be embarrassed on national TV and humiliate ourselves; we knew that.”
Meanwhile, as Rosie ripped apart the “Idol” judges, you better believe that Donald Trump wanted in on the action too, and “Extra” has it!
“She shouldn’t be going after Simon, and she shouldn’t be going after anybody,” The Donald said. “Rosie is a mess.”
While Rosie targets the “Idol” judges, it seems Paula and Ryan are involved in a war of their own. On Ryan’s L.A. radio show, Paula attacked Ryan for not defending her behavior when he appeared on “The Tonight Show.”
“Look, I don’t look in their cups to see what’s sitting before them on that table,” Ryan told Jay Leno.
Paula attacked Ryan on the Los Angeles airwaves, as she inquired about his sit down with Leno.
“You know darn well there’s nothing in any of our Coca-Cola cups, and you know darn well I’ve never gone out drinking,” she snapped.
“I really feel like I try to keep the peace with you,” he then told Paula, who accepted his apology, saying, “I love you.”
But how long will the “Idol” love last?
Tune in to “American Idol” every week to find out!

You have got to be freaking kidding me, Donald wants to jump in the middle of this. I suppose we should start covering the CNN anchors and Early Show hosts who said the same things Rosie did and tear them to shreds as well.
But Kellie handled herself very well in this situation

Yes, our little small town southern girl, is quite a CLASS ACT...and one of a kind...always makes us very proud....perhaps the "other ladies" will learn something from our Kelliegirl....wise beyond her years...
Simon comparing that dude's eyes to a Bushbabies....
I'd like to know how many people saw that guy before he went into the room to audition and did'nt think his eyes were strange looking? I'll bet Rosie and others complaining about Simon's comment thought that. So that's kinda hypocritical. You thought it...you just did'nt say it. Now if he'd have said that to like a 12 year old girl....that would be different. That would've been cruel and i'd have had a problem with that.
There is a big difference between laughing at someone's performance like Randy often does because it is so subpar and comparing someone to a monkey.
What does Simon want the young guy to do? Have his skull replaced with a better one? Paula was a hypocrite when she called the little guy awesome to his face, and then laughed at him behind his back.
Even so, even though I can see that Rosie had a legitimate gripe, the way she ranted on and on about it was not very cool. She could have made her point that she disapproved without doing some bashing herself.
I have to take Rosie's side on this one..That young man could not change the way he looks and for the judges to make fun of him on camera was just plain un-called for...Made me want to plant one on the pointed chin of Simon...Comments like that are reserved for private talk and not on a national TV show....I would probably have taken Simon out and the other two if they persisted...I think an apology is in order ..........

Add three judges to Rosie's enemy list!
I suppose there is a difference...but i don't know if it's a BIG difference. It was'nt like Simon was making fun of someone with Downs Syndrome or someone in a wheelchair. Man,you gotta have thick skin to make it in the world these days. If you don't;and you let other people get to you so easily....you ain't gonna make it!!! And the guy got his 2 cents in when he said if Simon were going to make remarks like that to go back to England.
But then again....this ain't a beauty pageant;it's a talent competition.So i don't know.
I blame Rosie and the media for making such a big stink about it. Even CNN and MSNBC are making it a big deal.
Are'nt there more important things going on in the world right now that we should REALLY be concerned about?
Makes no difference to me what the situation you just don't make fun
about how a person looks...As far as that goes if I were to describe the three judges it would be.....Simon looks like a weasel--Randy looks like a
monitor lizzard and Paula looks like a lab rat that the experiment went wrong on..But I would never tell them to their face and laugh at them..
