So, no, she hasn’t done very many *good* movies, but don’t pretend as though she wasn’t getting big roles or having successful movies. And, there were the rare good ones (Sleepless, A League). Plus, her daytime show was *very* successful for many years, something that may have set the stage for Ellen years later – and when Rosie joined the View, the ratings at least became relevant again… she was just, indeed, too ‘in your face’ to last on that show any longer than she did.

I highly, highly doubt that this is the last we’ll see of Rosie. She’s one of those people who always manage to keep themselves relevant and rise out of the ashes after they’ve had a few bad years. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her get a TV show in the future, maybe not even a comedy, or a cable news show at night (MSNBC was close to signing her – maybe CNBC will?). Or, maybe she’s feeling ‘done’ and wants to spend more time with her kids. That does seem to be a priority in her life, which is more than many celebs can claim. She’s loaded, has had a strong career and wouldn’t be the first to call it quits before it gets called for her.

re: No. 6 · Sapphocrat
there was no deafening silence during prop 8. Rosie sent out 3 different newsletters to everyone on her blog/fan list encouraging people to get out and vote and to support prop 8. She also sent the same newletters to people who had requested info on her cruises. I know because I’m on both lists. She also had a large support prop 8 button on herr sidebar with a link to more information.

But because she didn’t support Prop 8 in the way that YOU deem proper she’s on your sh*tllist? Wow, just wow.

Incidentally, this is probably the funniest post with Japhy’s name attached. Pure hilarity!!
