  • FOX411 Exclusive: Rosie O'Donnell calls Elisabeth Hasselbeck a word that rhymes with 'swat'

    Once, things were all peaches and cream between Rosie and Elizabeth. Now, not so much.

    Once, things were all peaches and cream between Rosie and Elisabeth. Now, not so much.

    It's back on.

    Rosie O'Donnell can't seem to stop talking about her ugly departure from "The View," and the famous feud she had with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

    An eyewitness tells FOX411 exclusively that the former "The View" co-host slammed her former show and called her former co-host a vulgarism that starts with a "t" and rhymes with "swat," just four days before Hasselbeck gave birth to her third child.

    It all happened on August 5 during a stand-up routine as part of O'Donnell's "Girls' Night Out Tour" with singer Cyndi Lauper. First, Rosie cracked jokes about "The View," illiciting roars of laughter from the audience at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, N.Y.

    "Rosie started out by asking the audience, 'What was that show I was on?'" an audience member tells FOX411. "Then, instead of saying, 'The View,' she called it 'The Screw You.' She continued by calling Elisabeth Hasselbeck, 'Elizabeth Half-a-brain.' Then she jumped to another topic."

    But Rosie wasn't done. Not even close.

    The audience member says she went back to her "The View" experience. "Rosie said when she first met Elisabeth, she thought she would love her, because they're both Christians," the eyewitness says. "Then she stopped and said, 'But then she turned on me.' Then Rosie called her a 't--t.' O'Donnell then moved on to a different subject, saying she really didn't want to start a new feud, or restart an old one."

    A rep for Hasselbeck declined to comment.

I adore Rosie, but I think she should just move on (actually thought she had). That being said, I really can't stand little miss Elizabeth "Holier-Than-Thou" Hasselbeck. The way she acts, you'd think SHE could walk on water.

Frankly...Rosie is right..and as current as she wants to be and if she "illicited roars of laughter from the audience" she is hardly irrelevent. wake up people!!! if Elisabeth H is someone you think can't take it..she shouldn't/wouldn't be on the view.

This is what struggling for relevance looks like. Rosie O'Donnell is a "christian" now? What a pathetic has-been.

"Rosie who?" is right, you have to feel sorry for the Cyndi Lauper fans that have to sit through her unfunny garbage. Whether you like Elizabeth or not, it was Rosie that ran away when someone voiced an opinion that didn't agree with her lifestyle choice. Which is really odd since discussing opinions is what the show is based on.

True, Rosey has become a pathetic character, trying to convince everyone she is normal-NOT!

I agree........ Rosie lardbutt needs to keep her mouth shut... I cannot stand that woman and frankly they need to keep her out of the public eye as much as possible. She is a liberal idiot that has absolutely no class at all.

Roise is about as Christian as my dead dog. Shes the one who claimed that "Christians are even more dangerous than muslim extremists" and that we had bombs planted in the towers when 911 happened. WHY anyone would even bother giving Rosie ANY more press time, let alone the time of day is beyond me. We need to treat her like a toddler throwing a tantrum: ignore her and she will learn that it doesnt do her any good and she might mature a little bit and stop.
