After originally indicating that she had turned down an offer to host The Price Is Right because she didn't want to move to the West Coast, Rosie O'Donnell said on her blog Wednesday that CBS simply didn't want her on the show. "They thought I was too controversial," O'Donnell wrote, adding that network execs thought "I just wanted to 'gay it up.'" She said she had suggested that the show include Broadway hunks, confetti, musical bumpers and a set makeover.

Rosie O'Donnell has told so may lies to gain attention she probably was turned down right away by the Price Is Right producers. What exactly did she mean when she said they probably thought she just wanted to "gay it up?" I am not prejudice against gays or any race or ethnic background---after this woman posted the picture of her innocent, little adopted daughter on the internet with a strap of bullets over her little shoulder (fake or not) this woman needs some help and sets no example at all for future gay parents who would like to adopt. Elizabeth Hasselbeck needs to sue her for libel and slander after that stunt on the gay cruise ship.
