New love: Rosie O'Donnell who has admitted that the single life is not for her

Rosie O'Donnell has confirmed that she wants to return to daytime television with a new talk show in the fall of 2011. The timing is considered significant because that's also the time The Oprah Winfrey Show is scheduled to end.

O'Donnell may have her sights on the Queen of Daytime TV's throne, but she'll have to compete with other major daytime hits like The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dr. Phil and Judge Judy.

O'Donnell's new show will focus on a single subject with in-studio guests, according to the press release. It will be filmed in front of a live studio audience five days a week in Manhattan. O'Donnell previously hosted the Rosie O'Donnell Show from 1996-2002.

"Come fall 2011, daytime television will change in a very dramatic way," said O'Donnell. "I want to build on what Oprah began and excelled at for 25 years, in my own style and with new adaptations and ideas. I would like this show to make a difference in viewer's lives, to be real, uplifting, authentic and focus on life, love and laughter."

No matter what side of the fence you're on, with only 24 hours in a day and several truly intelligent commentators out there, why would anyone spend their time listening to this vicious, tunnel-vision, raving idiot? Hope her staff advises her against signing a long term Manhattan lease.

One creep replacing another. Rosie has changed and not for the better as did Oprah. Many of us in Illinois say "good riddance".

I don't consider her a straight talker, but a mean, slanted, bitter, person. It was nice not having to avoid her nastiness, now I will have to start looking to avoid her foulness again. Too bad she can't rise above it all.........

I think she'll be a breath of fresh air. Rosie's a straight talker and a good egg. I'll be watching for sure.

When Rosie was on tv before, she was known as the "queen of nice". When she left, she revealed her true colors. I have no problem with her being gay or overweight; I do have a problem with her being a hypocrite. My husband can't even stay in the room when she's on because she's such a phony.

God! Yizzer all so mean to Rosie. I liked her show and it's fun that she rubs some people up the wrong way.

Oh no say it isn't so. I hoped never to see that loud mouthed, uncouth moron ever again. Please, someone, spare us the pain and the agony. I can tune out her show, but if she gets that forum again, she will be every where. Spare us, please!!!

it pains me to see IC promote the likes of rosie odonnell, who is admittedly gay and ultra liberal, while castigating conservative talk show hosts. methinks IC is not 'FAIR AND BALANCED".
