Rosie Invents A New Word: "Weightist"
Amidst her accusations of American Idol being racist, Rosie O'Donnel said that they're also "weightist."
Freaking hilarious.
She was talking about Frenchie Davis being kicked off the show in a previous season because topless photos of her emerged while Antonella Barba is still competing despite the racy photos of her that have been all over the internet. According to Rosie, not only was Frenchie kicked off the show because she's black, but ALSO because she was overweight.
Um, Rosie.... can you say Fantasia Barrino? Winner of the contest three seasons ago? Fantasia wasn't extremely TAN, she's black. How about Lakisha Jones, the overweight contestant this year with an AMAZING voice who will no doubt finish in the top two or three? Then there's Chris Sligh, overweight as well but one of the top three singers on the guy's side.
I don't know why I'm even wasting time on this, I'm just feeding into the Rosie-publicity-monster. She's incapable of staying out of the limelight for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I'm sure our fine psychiatric community will come up with "disease" to explain it, perhaps related to ADD or ADHD.
