O'Donnell: Trump is 'obsessed with me'
13 minutes ago

NEW YORK - Rosie O'Donnell says Donald Trump is a man obsessed. "It's the way I look. He can't resist. I love when people say you're fat like you don't know," O'Donnell joked Monday on ABC's "The View." "... It's always the first comment of someone who disagrees with you if you happen to be on the plus side."

Trump has been hurling insults at O'Donnell since she criticized his news conference with Miss USA Tara Conner last month. Trump announced that Conner would be allowed to keep her title, which had been in jeopardy because of underage drinking.

"Boy, did I hit a nerve with that guy," O'Donnell said Monday, calling Trump a "comb-over bunny" for his relentless attacks on her, which include saying that Barbara Walters, creator of "The View," had told him she didn't want the 44-year-old comedian on the show.

Walters said Monday that Trump's remarks were "totally untrue" and expressed a wish that "we could rise above it."

"It's not we, it's him," said O'Donnell. "He's doing every show in America. He's on QVC talking ..."

"The guy, he's obsessed with me, obviously," she said.

Trump, in a statement to The Associated Press, said O'Donnell had gotten it wrong.

"I used the word `slob,' I used the word `degenerate' and I used the words `not very smart.' The word `fat' played a very small role, if any, in my description of her,'" he said.

On Monday's show, O'Donnell said she went shopping recently and "all of these plus-size women" with "tears in their eyes" approached her with words of support.

"He wounded millions of women by saying that I was fat, you know?"

Trump is the owner of the Miss Universe Organization, which includes Miss USA and Miss Teen USA.

The new season of his NBC reality show, "The Apprentice," premiered Sunday night.

oh boy, these two will never stop. i do think d.t. did go overboard by calling her "fat"...i can't stand rosie either, but he shouldn't called her fat.

I'm fat and not wonded at all that The Donald called Rosie fat. He's not obsessed with her, he's just finishing what she started. And Barbara has already gotten caught in 1 lie re: Star, so it wouldn't suprise me if she is lying again re: The Donald.
BTW, why would the fat women have tears in their eyes. Give me a break.

Was wondering same thing.

This was amusing at first...now it's just annoying. I don't like either of them so maybe that's why my tolerance level is low.

Cagematch!!!!

MsChiff · January 8th, 2007, 06:51 PM

Oh brother.. the tears in eye thing is a little far fetched.

spinmonkey · January 8th, 2007, 07:15 PM

Can't stand either of them, but Rosie is really pouring on the drama there.

Rosie thrives off of picking fights with other people. The most pathetic thing is the way that she'll then go write some insulting thing about them in her blog. It's usually in the form of a poem, riddled with spelling and punctuation errors, and intended to look really "deep". I don't think that Donald calling Rosie fat is any worse than her making derogatory remarks about his comb-over. They're both insulting sensitive aspects of the other's physical appearance.

OK Rosie you can shut up now. We get it. We're paying attention. But we don't want to be.

SlimandSexxy · January 8th, 2007, 09:58 PM

NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo played out!!!

I watched today when she said all of that. It was actually quite funny. She said it tongue in cheek and made a face at the end. I'm not on Rosie's side because she did start it with Dump...er Trump, but he went so overboard. He must have gone on ten talk shows and all he could say was "She's fat, she's a loser, she's fat...oh yeah, she's fat!" It was so juvenile.

I was just wondering if all the comb-over men have come up to Donald with tears in their eyes?

Awesome, gave me a great laugh with that one.

The reason the combover remark was funnier than the fat one is because he can rectify his stupid hairstyle way easier than Rosie can rectify being fat.

Everyone and their brother has ragged on his lame ass "do" for eons. He knows it's ugly and out of style. The fact that he refuses to change it is solely because of his ego. Now that's something just begging to be made fun of. But Rosie should take it with a grain of salt that this guy called her fat and disgusting. This is a guy who has referred to more than one woman who was actually very beautiful and much, much thinner than Rosie (and sometimes married to him and pregnant with his child) using pretty much the same words.
