So she had one with two eggs and toast.

Okay, what actually happened is just a further development in the in-fighting between O'Donnell and former fellow The View lady Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whom Rosie says she will probably never speak to again.
According to the AP, O'Donnell has said: "I haven't spoken to her, and I probably won't, and I think it's just as well. I wrote her an e-mail, and she wrote me back, and there you have it."
O'Donnell also described herself as "just like a foster kid for a year. I came, you know, we considered adoption, but I didn't really fit into the family and now it's time for the foster kid to go back home." It's always a shame when orphans are kicked out of their new homes for political differences.
Self-proclaimed D-list comedian Kathy Griffin revealed to People magazine that what really pushed her friend Rosie over the edge was the Hannity & Colmes style split-screen that the producers used during the infamous Iraq War argument between the two View hosts.
I have little doubt that they will speak again, and indeed, it shall be televised. And split-screen or not, ABC will certainly exploit it for ratings and media attention.
