Fat Actress - has a blog that diminishes her

Not Kirstie Alley, who I can't figure out.

Nope, we're talking - hehehe - Rosie O' Donnell. Though she allegedly has her own Web site, OnceAdored.

And I say allegedly because she has quite a nifty Web site of her own - no bells and whistles, very simply designed. but her blog is on blogspot.

Also all the posts are poems. I smell the odor of a prank and a jest going on at the expense of the New York Times who ran a piece on Rosie O' Donnell as a blogger, since December, though only barely and picked it up more regularly in February:

She once had a cuddly relationship with millions as the warm and hilarious television personality with a visible crush on Tom Cruise, but she complicated her public image by quitting her show, announcing she was a lesbian, starting and then quitting her eponymous magazine before producing a Broadway musical starring Boy George. In the end, Ms. O'Donnell ended up with a measure of privacy, but she began to drive her friends crazy with all of her opinions.

"One of them finally said that I should start a blog," Ms. O'Donnell said in a telephone interview from her home in upstate New York

Away fromm her talk show I always thought she was funny. I didn't see the talk show much at all - it being in the middle of the day, but when I saw it or just clips, it always seemed manic and a little gooey.

She says in the NY Times piece she hasn't got what it takes to write a book the way a book should be written - so she comes to the blogs to lay it out there.

Or as she describes her blog on her blog: *the unedited rantings of a fat 42 year old menopausal ex -talk show host * -married mother of four- read at your own risk - my spelling sux (add * ocd * adhd * lmnop * suv * dvd * y not me)

    Here she blogs about meeting Martha in prison.

    Thanks for pointing me to her site, I like celebrity blogs. I go to Margaret Cho's, RuPaul's, and Wil Wheaton's blogs regularly as well as blogs that give you inside scoop on celebrities like popculturejunkies or socialiteslife. Which is odd because I've never bought a Star, Enquirer or even a People, and I don't watch ET or anything else like that. I guess it's better when it comes straight from the celebrities mouth. But why again does it diminish her?

    Steve, diminished only to the extent that one, she's on blogspot, and two, her posts are just weird. Poetry isn't going to get a mass audience and that poetry isn't going to have me coming back often. Though I love poetry it is the most subjective art form there is.

    maybe she doesn't want a mass audience but a place to put her thoughts/opinions?

    But now I understand the point you want to make.
