According to Fox’s entertainment blog, Fox411, Rosie O’Donnell made some verbal swipes at her former co-host on The View and rival, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Rosie was doing stand-up and made some jokes about “The View,” calling it “The Screw,” and went on to call Elisabeth a “tw*t,” claiming “she turned on me.” In late April, 2007, Rosie announced she was leaving “The View” after just one season, saying that contract talks fell through with producers but that she would remain on the show until June 22. Then about a month later, in late May, Rosie and Elisabeth got into a heated argument (link leads to video) on the show over the way the conservative pundits were portraying Rosie’s opinion. Instead of staying to finish her term, Rosie never returned to the show and left three weeks before her contract was finished.

All of that was over two years ago, but it’s what we remember Rosie for since her holiday variety show was such a flop. I guess it’s inevitable that she jokes about it, but it’s hard not to get the impression that there are plenty of sour grapes in that bowl:

Rosie O’Donnell can’t seem to stop talking about her ugly departure from “The View,” and the famous feud she had with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

An eyewitness tells FOX411 exclusively that the former “The View” co-host slammed her former show and called her former co-host a vulgarism that starts with a “t” and rhymes with “swat,” just four days before Hasselbeck gave birth to her third child.

It all happened on August 5 during a stand-up routine as part of O’Donnell’s “Girls’ Night Out Tour” with singer Cyndi Lauper. First, Rosie cracked jokes about “The View,” illiciting roars of laughter from the audience at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, N.Y.

“Rosie started out by asking the audience, ‘What was that show I was on?'” an audience member tells FOX411. “Then, instead of saying, ‘The View,’ she called it ‘The Screw You.’ She continued by calling Elisabeth Hasselbeck, ‘Elizabeth Half-a-brain.’ Then she jumped to another topic.”

But Rosie wasn’t done. Not even close.

The audience member says she went back to her “The View” experience. “Rosie said when she first met Elisabeth, she thought she would love her, because they’re both Christians,” the eyewitness says. “Then she stopped and said, ‘But then she turned on me.’ Then Rosie called her a ‘t–t.’ O’Donnell then moved on to a different subject, saying she really didn’t want to start a new feud, or restart an old one.”

If Rosie doesn’t want to start a feud she shouldn’t be calling Elisabeth a twat, it’s that simple. I just re-watched the famous argument these two had and it made me uncomfortable to see how bad it got. Elisabeth seemed like the one who couldn’t let it go, but Rosie also kept pressing her. These two butted heads too much to co-exist on that show, and while Rosie should have stopped pressuring Elisabeth to give an answer, she wouldn’t budge an inch either.

In related Rosie news, we heard last week from her rep that the story about a supposed split with her partner Kelli was false. The National Enquirer broke that story, and they’re standing by it in a follow-up this week. They insist that Kelli has moved out of the house with their youngest child, daughter Vivienne, and that they’re living in “a luxury Manhattan high-rise” while Rosie and their three other children, Parker 14, Chelsea, 12, and Blake, 7, are staying at the family home in Nyack, NY. The Enquirer quotes a source who says “Rosie is having her people deny the split because she’s desperately trying to convince Kelli to come back to her. In the meantime, Rosie is being a trouper and is carrying on with her comedy tour.” Rosie is not a happy person and I tend to believe these stories that she’s having trouble in her marriage.
