Closing Time!

NEW YORK –  Oprah Winfrey's OWN network is pulling the curtain on "The Rosie Show" after five months on the air.

The show premiered in October to about 500,000 viewers but lost about half that audience within days of its debut.

Recently, it changed the format from taping before a studio audience to a one-on-one interview setting with celebrities such as Kathy Griffin, Chelsea Handler and former Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich.

In a statement released by OWN, Winfrey thanked O'Donnell. She called O'Donnell "an incredible partner" who worked to put on the best show "every single day."

O'Donnell also was quoted as saying she loved working with Winfrey and in Chicago and "wished" the show had better ratings.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I despise BOTH Oprah AND Rosie the Riveter. I will, however, say that this news made me smile and not despise O-Dog for about .5 seconds. I am hopeful that no one will ever have to see Rosie's Mr. Potato Head like mug on national television on a regular basis ever again. I also hope that Oprah disappears as well, but for now, I'll be happy with this. 

Please enjoy this collection of "Rancid Rosie Photos" I've compiled to amuse myself on this lazy Tuesday:

Getting this for Big Ran as a mouse pad.

Ever hear the expression, "Death warmed over"? 

So much so say, all so inappropriate....

Something tells me NEITHER team wants to claim her...

Really?
