Rosie O’Donnell has never had any problems keeping her opinion to herself. After Oprah she was the queen of the daytime talk show circuit four years ago and had her very own monthly magazine too but her outspoken ways and adversarial nature soon short circuited both of those venues. She then took some time off before landing one the vacant Star Jones spot on “The View” which drove up ratings but also set off the start of several confrontations with co-host Elizabeth “I’m so Republican” Hasselbeck. And then there was the matter of Rosie’s very public and nasty name calling feud with the King of All Comb-Overs, Mistah Donald Trump. By the start of the fall Rosie had exited “The View” and we had just started to think that maybe we would have a couple of months without another new Rosie story.

Not so fast! According to multiple reports O’Donnell is close to signing with MSNBC and getting her own political talk show. Rosie apparently spilled the secret to fans at a book signing last weekend and as the story developed legs others confirmed that she was indeed in talks with the news network. The word is that her show would replace the ailing “Live with Dan Abrams” in the MSNBC 9 PM slot. That would place her in direct competition with CNN’s “Larry King Live” and Fox News’ “Hannity & Colmes”. The PopTherapists are interested in seeing what Rosie would do with her own political pundit show because we like watching fireworks go off as much as anyone else but we also wonder would her daytime fans flock to the late evening show? That’s a long day if you’re watching “The View” early in the morning and then Rosie’s show in the night.
