Exclusive: Rosie's New Show

What I'm told is that Ben Silverman and Jeff Zucker like the idea - and it's a great one that Rosie's had for a long time. The new show could turn out to be a 2009 version of Carol Burnett or even "The Ed Sullivan Show.'
The latter would even be better with Rosie presenting it all live - as in not on tape - from a Broadway theater, possibly on Sunday night. The show would have skits but more importantly O'Donnell could feature all kinds of acts from comedy to drama to music - exactly what's missing from prime time.

P. Diddy Takes Broadway Like the N.Y. Marathon
I think Puffy has nothing to be embarrassed about in his Broadway debut. It's obvious that if he chose this profession he could make lots of progress. But I don't think that's what this is about. Combs is a PR bungee jumper. He's willing to take risks just to show he can survive them. There's been far worse stunt casting on Broadway over the years.
Third item.

A 'Tony' Ending for 'The Sopranos' By Roger Friedman

The 61st annual Tony Awards were a mixed bag from where I sat in Radio City Music Hall Sunday night, and that was on the edge of the orchestra section near where the seat fillers line up.
Some of the show was very entertaining, but a lot of it didn't make sense.
