I vote Rosie for next years Oscar host!


Rosie O'Donnell's emceed the Matrix Awards, an annual luncheon honoring New York women's accomplishments in media. The event was attended by 2,000 people including honorees Cindy Adams, Meredith Vieira, Joan Didion, Susan Lyne, Arianna Huffington and Lisa Caputo, and guests such as Rupert Murdoch, Joy Behar, Nora Ephron, Martha Stewart, and Hillary Clinton. Also there, seventeen high school girls who won scholarships to study media.

Pretty esteemed group huh? Bor--ing. Luckily for us Rosie decided it would be fun to drop a bunch of f-bombs during a self-indulgent rant about who else? Donald Trump of course! And she didn't stop there. She also grabbed her crotch and shouted "EAT ME!"

Barbara Walters was so embarrassed she lowered her head and covered her face with her hand.

Another guest, Robert Zimmerman said, "I was offended by how vulgar and common O'Donnell was. It was especially inappropriate with young people present." (Please, I'm sure the teenagers were the least offended out of anyone.)

Another woman who declined to be identified said, "I cringed and dove under the table when she said, 'Eat me.'" (My guess: Joy Behar)

Rosie's publicist attempted a little mop-up work by telling the NY Post: "When you ask for Rosie, you know what you're getting. She's not a shrinking violet. She's a stand-up comedienne. She says things that are provocative."

Also embarrassed to admit they were embarrassed was the managing director of N.Y. Women in Communications, Beth Ellen Keyes, who sent an e-mail to her handlers saying, "Rosie was fabulous. Please let Rosie know how much we appreciated her being there. She was just great."

Way to go Rosie! I bet she woke up this morning hoping it would be a bad dream. There's gotta be a video of this out there.
