Drumroll, please. Here, with a heavy heart and a pained grimace, I present you with the 100th Suburbarazzi post about Rosie O’Donnell. Yes, we counted.

The latest news on the South Nyack rabble-rouser is that, while doing stand-up before a 1,500-person audience on her cruise for gay and lesbian families, she explained part of the reason she didn’t get “The Price is Right” gig.
Naturally, she also lashed out, again, against her twin nemiseses (nemisee?) Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Donald Trump. Which of course is hardly news. But what did shock a few was the persistent level of vitriolic hate fir Hasselbeck and the bizarre threat she made towards The Donald. Us Weekly even shows a giant photo of the former that she doctored up to look like the devil.
As for “The Price is Right,” part of the reason CBS passed is that she wanted to “gay it up.” Some excerpts from the show are after the break.
On Hasselbeck: “Her only f—king credit was Survivor. Come on!”
On The View: “Before you know it, you’ve got a Jimmy Choo in your back!”
On Trump, according to one witness: “Rosie said she’d love to break into his apartment and rub her belly all over him.”
On “The Price is Right,” via TV Guide: “They thought I was too controversial to host the game show .. I just wanted to ‘gay it up.’”
Among Rosie’s proposed changes to the game show: Replacing Barker’s beauties with a chorus line of Broadway hunks, confetti, musical bumpers, and a much-needed set makeover “so the colors actually match!” Sigh If only she’d realized that all CBS really wanted was belly rubs. If she’d just offered to rub her belly all over the contestants, they surely would have gone for it! Oh well, Ro, better luck with NBC.
