Ain’t that Rosie O’Donnell just the cutest thing? Clearly delusional, “Ro” apparently believes that there are still people out there who want to see her on television. To that end, she is working on a sitcom pilot with author Alice Hoffman, featuring herself in the starring role as “an Erma Bombeck type” with a blended family, whose ex-husband (???) is forced to move in with her.
O’Donnell, best known of late for her horrifically unflattering haircuts, her rambling political rants, and her creepy online poetry, went on to indicate that she is writing the pilot with Colin Quinn in mind to play the ex-husband role, and Sharon Gless to play the dead ex-lover to whom Rosie/Erma speaks while writing her newspaper column.
To which I say: Sharon Gless could do way better than Rosie O’Donnell. I mean, seriously. Come on. This is Cagney we’re talking about. Or possibly Lacey. I never could remember which was which.
But either way, to the network programming heads out there: Please spare us this blight on humanity. We beg you. We may have to start begging you in creepy online haikus, if this thing goes into production.
