it was 2 good 2 b true. Rosie will NOT host a show on MSNBC.

Rosie O'Donnell's negotiations with MSNBC have ended. She just posted the following explanation on her blog:

"msnbc

live
following keith olbermann

we were close to a deal
almost done
i let it slip in miami
causing panic on the studio end

well
what can u do

2day there is no deal
poof
my career as a pundit is over
b4 it began

just as well
i figure
everything happens for a reason
bashert - as we say

and on we go"

A few days ago the New York Times (and several other media outlets) reported that Rosie was in serious discussions to return to television in a prime-time show on the cable news channel MSNBC.

Under one scenario, Rosie would have filled the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, to compete with “Larry King Live” on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes” on Fox News.
