Rosie O’Donnell is clearly Team Coco, as she had this to say about Jay Leno: “He’s pretending like he had nothing to do with it: “I don’t know what NBC is doing. I don’t know.” What? No. You know. And you are a coward, and if you really think that you still got the goods at 60 years old, if you really think that you are cutting-edge and poignant and that your interview style is so exemplary, then you know what you should do? Go to Fox and compete against Conan. But to have Conan have that . . . [weak] lead-in of him? It’s like he did everything he could to sabotage him. It’s like worse than “All About Eve,” because he is not an up-and-coming guy. It’s like a guy who fell water-skiing and then refuses to let go of the tow rope. You know, I think it is going to drown him. Frankly, I think if he had any dignity, he would say, “You know what? I am done.” [LATimes]

I’m certainly not the future. I was the future when I was younger. Now I’m happy to be the present.”-Patti Smith [Guardian]

“One of the magazines admitted that it had added extra weight to the pictures, and it concerns me that young girls reading those stories don’t know that. All they know is that they are sitting at home, maybe four or five sizes bigger than me, and their role model is called a ‘big house’ – what does that do to them? Young girls don’t know what has been airbrushed and what hasn’t and I think it’s very irresponsible. I think we are feeding eating disorders; we are promoting sickness to girls using celebrity role models.”-Jennifer Love Hewitt [DailyMail]
