More Rosie O’Donnell Chatter
October 8, 2007 by Jeanne
Instead of being interviewed by heavy weights like Oprah Winfrey and Diane Sawyer, Rosie O’Donnell chose to interview herself, videotaped it and posted it on her blog. Of course, she can’t resist talking about The View. Her book “Celebrity Detox” comes out this week. The proceeds from the book will go to her children’s charity.

Body Guard Blames Princess Diana’s Death on Security
October 8, 2007 by Jeanne
Uh huh… It’s possible that security is responsible for her death but it’s gonna take a lot for me to think that’s the only cause for that fatal crash in Paris 10 years ago. I may be in the minority but they are going to have to prove that Princess Diana was not murdered by the Royal Family. It’s just too much! Here’s the story from the Today show:
The official inquest into Princess Diana’s death will find no conspiracy behind the tragedy in a Paris tunnel a decade ago, nor should it blame pursuing paparazzi, Diana’s former bodyguard said Monday on TODAY.
“I don’t think the paparazzi played a role,” Ken Wharfe told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira. “My view is that there are no conspiracies.”
