It's nice when former enemies come together and make nice. Rosie O'Donnell appeared on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show yesterday morning. She spoke about what really happened during her abrupt exit from ABC's The View last year, and offered to audition to take over the hour after Howard's program.

Way back before Rosie was out and was always talking about how she had a crush on Tom Cruise on her old talk show, Howard used to mercilessly taunt her ass. She even addressed it on her show one time to the applause of her audience. Then, as if by magic, she came out of the closet and started being really truthful and Howard seemed to develop some begrudging respect for her. Apparently, the two have buried the hatchet.

Rosie says that she wanted to leave the View because she wasn't enjoying herself, and that she didn't like the fact that she was paying someone to watch her four children. She claims that producers threatened to sue her if she left early.

An ABC flack says she's somewhat confused.

"That is completely inaccurate," a source says. "It just not true that the producers wanted to sue her." One of those "producers" would be Barbara Walters, by the way. Who just totally effed Ro over in her new memoir. They have been engaging in a subtle war of words since Rosie suggested that Babwa retire in HER memoir.

Another source supports the theory that Rosie isn't remember events accurately.

"Rosie had been rocking the boat for a while. She didn't have much time left in her contract -- there was less drama in having her go than keeping her there," another "ABC insider" says.

Rosie was her usual unafraid of controversy self, and told Howard about her 9/11 conspiracy theory. She says that the World Trade Center buildings could not have fallen on their own and that explosives must have aided in their collapsing. Oh boy.

Howard, perhaps realizing that her brand of outspoken crazy could boost the ratings on his Sirius channel, offered her an audition.

Did any of you even listen to the interview?

It was great, opinions aside.

no no no. she wasn't talking about the View, she was talking about HER show. the Rosie O'Donnell Show. She left THAT show because she was missing out on her kids' lives and because fame had become very toxic to her. The people at her MAGAZINE threatened to sue her and did sue her because she didn't want the magazine to be like the Rosie show she had just left. If you had listened to the interview, there is just no way you would have confused these things. And there are a lot of people who question the official version of 911. look into Willie Rodriguez's story. Come on people, I'm only saying! Check out the story before you write something here! or is this really how gossip works?

The buildings were aided by explosives. Did you see building 7 collapse. Come on. Think for yourself.

Rosie is 100 percent correct.

Alot of respected professionals and military people think 9/11 was an inside job.

Howard insulted her for years and always talked to people who said she was very cunty backstage on her show but he has always said he gained huge respect for her for putting her career on the back burner and coming out.

I really hope she gets a show, I will definately listen.
