Rosie Clams Up on Britney

The passionate, fiery, outspoken, relentlessly frank Rosie O'Donnell suddenly went quiet yesterday on one of her favorite topics, Britney Spears.


TMZ caught up with Ro as she came out of Comix, where she took in Roseanne Barr's show -- and even jumped in mid-act to do her own bit. But when we asked her about the popwreck on everyone's tongues, Rosie used that ever-trusty answer-avoidance technique -- the quick, loud, preemptive farewell.

Another Ro -- Roseanne -- had a bit more to say about Britney. "I'm gonna call her," said Barr. "She needs a mother." That thought should put a nice shiver through your bones.

76. How is it possible to be stupid enough to actually think that Rosie is smart?

Rosie is keeping her mouth shut because the one discussion she can NOT afford to get involved with is one about unfit mothers who take drugs and drink in front of their children. Even children that aren't even yours,but were bought.

77. OMYGOSH --- The FIRST post I have ever seen who has the SAME beliefs that I do!!!!!
(SEE POST BELOW) Unbelievable! I DO also believe it is post partum depression and I have said so for MONTHS. Since Britney even went into rehab. Two babies in two years and the girl has EVERY Symptom. It can't get more obvious!!!! Just a side note for those who can NOT read -- It is ROSEANNE not ROSIE O'DONNELL who offered to help Britney..99% of these posts (that aren't name calling only since people are too lazy to post sense) are all yakking about Rosie O counseling Britney..It was Roseanne who said she was going to call her DUHHHH and I think she could help Britney too!! BRAVOS to those who can see Britney needs compassion now and not hate. MANY KUDOS to this post here: You are, I believe, 100% CORRECT! I'm HAPPY you can see it too!!
WTG Teethlover52!! My money has been and stays on Brit having severe PPD!!

37. I really think britney needs an older wiser person to help her be a better mother. Anyone ever thought this girl might be going through post partum depression??? Give the girl a break and somebody anybody please help this child before she really hurts herself!

78. Not even Britney's mother can help her. If she pushes everyone out of her life that is trying to help her. You can not help anyone who does not want your help!!
I know I have tried to help family members that way and the only thing it did was made them mad at me.
Until Britney see she has a problem with drugs and drinking no one can help her. In her mind there is not problem to help her with, she is just going out and having fun! That is her way of being the center of attention, with all the people taking her picture. They should just stop taking her picture. It is just adding gas to a fire that is out of control.

79. Why would you say that about Rosanne Barr. She is right, Britney does need a mother. I think it would be very nice for Rosanne to call her and try to help her. Why would you say "Another Ro -- Roseanne -- had a bit more to say about Britney. "I'm gonna call her," said Barr. "She needs a mother." That thought should put a nice shiver through your bones."
That is very rude thing to say. She is a good mother and that would be better than Britney's own mother has done for her. She has no one in her corner and needs that.

80. Roseanne is so stuck-up. Why couldn't she sign autographs? HELLO these people came to see her perform. I can't believe how selfish and incredibly lazy she is. I used to really like her but she is just like the rest of Hollywood!
