Hokey Comedy With an Enemy List (Chub alert)
New York Whines ^ | ALESSANDRA STANLEY

Rosie O'Donnell's Wednesday night special on NBC, "Rosie Live," was supposed to be a tribute to the variety shows of the 1970s, but she added a Nixonian twist: Christmas songs, tap-dancing twins and an enemies list. Ms. Her opening monologue was a riff about her weight, focused on her Spanx support garments, which she described as "onesies for chubby fortysomethings."

Didn't see the show (thank you God) but I'm gagging at just the thought of Rosie in Spanx.

we were channel surfing and came upon this as Rosie was singing with Liza, we laughed so much at how drunk Liza was.

Who in the world would think that anybody would tune in to see Rosie O’Donnell? Is NBC not bleeding enough money as it is? Their parent company GE is lining up for bail-out money while these dolts throw money at O’Donnell and Liza Minelli? Not long ago, this would have been a gag skit on Saturday Night Live and now it’s actual programming. I gotta up my meds, I guess.

You would know Spanx if it was smothering you.
