Britney Spears’ former “manager” Sam Lutfi, who’s alienated her whole family, has now also angered protective mama bear Rosie O’Donnell. Rosie, who says she reached out to Spears many times over the past year with offers to come live with her family, recently vented about Lutfi on her blog: “I have spoken to him in my life . . . a few times. I think he is a bad guy all around.” O’Donnell adds that Lutfi once had her paged on one of her R Family cruises and said Britney wanted to meet her – but “she was never there.”

ROSIE O’Donnell says she was boozing too much and has gone on the wagon. The moon-faced comic made the confession on her blog after telling one fan she’d shed pounds by giving up beer. That prompted another fan to ask, “So, Rosie, alcoholic or not? Just spit it out! Don’t go all Star Jones on us here. What led to you stopping the beer? You’ll only help someone else.” To which O’Donnell admitted: ” ‘Cause I was drinking too much, ’cause I didn’t want to any more, ’cause it is hard to lose weight when drinking, ’cause I can never have only one.”

ROSIE O’Donnell who just won a Blogger’s Choice Award for “best celebrity blogger” for her Web site – has been taking the videos of herself, her family and her beloved dolphins swimming in the waters in Miami with a Flip video, a hand-held, one-button camera. In fact, she has promoted the company so much, it’s now in talks with Rosie to become the camera’s spokeswoman. “She discovered Flip on her own and started blogging about it,” said the company’s rep. “We have started talking to her to see if there can be an official relationship. There was a talk two weeks ago and a talk last week. I don’t know the status yet.”

Bill Clinton Apologizes To Rosie O’Donnell For “Cheapening” The Oval Office!

ROSIE O’Donnell says Bill Clinton had her bawling like a baby during an emotional chat in which the ex-president apologized for cheapening the Oval Office with his Monica Lewinsky sexcapades.
The sapphic supernova, doing stand-up at the New York Comedy Festival Tuesday night, told the audience how Clinton sent her a card after she slammed him during a performance at the Mohegan Sun Casino Hotel five years ago, The Post’s Mandy Stadtmiller reports.
“He disgusts me,” O’Donnell recalled saying at the casino show. “And I know I’m not supposed to say this because I’m a good Democrat, but I didn’t want to [talk] to him because he lied to me when he said, ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman,’ and then put the scarlet-letter [bleep]-job on her for the rest of her life . . . I still hate you!”
When the corpulent comic called the phone number Clinton included with his note, Bubba himself picked up, she said.
“My knees got weak. I was like, ‘Can I [bleep] you?’ No, I didn’t say it, but I felt it – I was like, ‘Whoa! Whoa!’ And he said, ‘I was at your show the other night, and I was sorry that you didn’t come over and say hello to me. And I know that you’re still harboring some hard feelings,’ ” O’Donnell related.
“And I said, ‘You know, listen, here’s the deal, dude. I’ve been disappointed by men my whole life. I loved JFK, my mother loved JFK, and you were the JFK to me. And you let me down, man. You killed me and that hurt me a lot, and when you hurt me, I don’t know, I didn’t expect that out of you and I thought you could do better for your wife, for the country and just in general.”
Clinton then worked his charm on O’Donnell. “He goes, ‘I’m sorry for all the men who ever hurt you, I’m sorry that I hurt you. Everything you’ve said to me, I’ve said to myself, and I hope one day you can forgive me, and I hope I can forgive me.’ ”
Clinton’s mea culpa quickly had O’Donnell’s faucets opening up. “I’m hysterical crying,” she recalled.
O’Donnell also joked at the comedy fest about being fascinated with Britney Spears. “I want her to come live with me, but I have to stop saying that. I’m a 45-year-old overweight lesbian. She’s like a 23-year-old hot, skinny sexy girl. I think she’s going to call the police soon, you know. I mean I phone her, I leave her like stalker-like messages at the Four Seasons.”

Rosie O’Donnell in Talks to Join MSNBC

Rosie O’Donnell, who abruptly left “The View†on ABC last spring after drawing attention and ratings for her opinions on everything from the Iraq war to her co-hosts, is in serious discussions to return to television atop a new soapbox: a prime-time show on the cable news channel MSNBC, according to executives on both sides of the negotiations who have been briefed directly.
Under one scenario, Ms. O’Donnell would be given the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, where she would go head-to-head with two heavyweights of cable talk: “Larry King Live†on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes†on Fox News. Her show would replace “Live with Dan Abrams,†a relatively low-rated program that only recently replaced “Scarborough Country,†which was also little-watched.
But NBC executives, speaking on condition of anonymity because the conversations are continuing, cautioned that there were many elements of a potential deal yet to be resolved. These include when such a show would appear, what Ms. O’Donnell would be paid, and whether she would also be seen on the NBC broadcast network.
Ms. O’Donnell alluded somewhat cryptically to a possible new job in a speech she gave at a book-signing on Sunday night in Miami, according to a report that appeared on a website, lyingonthebeach.com. A podcast on that site described Ms. O’Donnell as saying that she would soon begin competing against “the guy with the suspenders and the long, long face,†an obvious reference to Mr. King.
NBC has been courting Ms. O’Donnell in recent months for any number of jobs, including host of a possible new game show.

BILL O’Reilly has once again targeted Rosie O’Donnell, sending a cameraman and a field producer to her latest book signing on Long Island to taunt and tape her while she autographed copies for adoring fans.
O’Donnell was taken aback when O’Reilly producer Jesse Watters interrupted her as she was signing “Celebrity Detox” for more than 500 fans at the Huntington Book Revue on Friday, reports Page Six’s Marianne Garvey. “This is for Bill O’Reilly,” said the producer. “He wants to know if you regret saying 9/11 was an inside job.”
Watters then bombarded O’Donnell with questions about why she ignores calls to appear on O’Reilly’s show and why she chose not to do an interview with talk queen Oprah Winfrey about the book.
O’Donnell kept her cool while the tape rolled, even allowing O’Reilly’s crew to stay for a few minutes.
“He knows how to find me. If Bill wants me he should phone me himself,” O’Donnell calmly told the producer. “He’s a big boy.”
O’Donnell even convinced her brother, Ed, not to toss the bullying duo, because, “It makes it all worse when he puts it on the Bill O’Reilly No-Spin Zone.”
“Don’t throw them out,” O’Donnell said as her fans waited patiently in line behind them, including a young boy with cerebral palsy in a wheelchair whom O’Donnell comforted following the incident.
“Ed, it’s OK. Everybody stop. That’s what they want you to do,” she said.
But O’Donnell repeatedly asked the cameraman to “turn it off – can you turn the lens to the floor?” as a security guard covered the lens with his hand. The security men finally had enough and made O’Reilly’s men leave, prompting O’Donnell to tell the pair, “Goodbye, goodbye,” adding, “Sir, you’re done. Skip home happily, you got it.”
Last night O’Reilly aired his version of events, calling the segment “Rosie’s Rage.” But O’Donnell beat him to the punch, blogging about it over the weekend. “BO [bleep]wipes showed up. Cocky young white men. They were bullied out not soon enuf4 my liking,” she wrote.
O’Reilly had no comment.

NOBODY says no to Oprah Winfrey – except Rosie O’Donnell. Insiders say Winfrey wanted to have her on her show to talk about O’Donnell’s book, “Celebrity Detox,” which bashes Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Donald Trump and others. But while many would kill to be on Oprah’s program, which sells books by the boatload, O’Donnell declined. “She’s doing an interview with Diane Sawyer instead,” our spy said. Cindi Berger, O’Donnell’s rep, said, “Rosie has always been booked with Diane. We gracefully declined Oprah’s offer. I’m sure Rosie will do Oprah’s show another time.”
