Round 7: Barbara Weighs In

Show of hands for everyone who is tiring of the Rosie-Trump feud...

Yep, that's what I thought.

The whole thing -- which started off as mildly shocking and wildly entertaining celebrity banter has devolved into a rather lame situation where Trump keeps repeating his same five "Rosie is stupid" talking points while Rosie pretends she doesn't care, but actually ends up getting The Donald revved up for more -- has grown tired.

The saga continued Wednesday on The View where, it seems, Rosie and Barbara Walters tried to put the whole thing behind themselves.



We'll see if Donald retaliates (I'm guessing the characterization of The Apprentice "tanking" will catch his ear), but for now I think everyone except the Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood producers are ready for this one to be over.

Round 6: Fear the Letterhead

The Trump-Rosie feud continues, but it seems like Trump is the only one throwing punches.

The latest? An odd letter to Rosie, signed by The Donald, printed on "The Trump Organization" letterhead.

In part, it reads:

Barbara [Walters] called me from her vacation (I did not call her) in order to apologize for your behavior. She had heard that I was going to retaliate against you and tried to talk me out of it.

...To be exact, she said that "working with her is like living in hell" and, more pointedly, "Donald, never get into the mud with pigs" and "don't worry, she won't be here for long."

One can't help but think that we are about a week or two away from Trump asking his contestants on The Apprentice to work on a challenge that hones the vital business skill of lashing out at a celebrity.
