SHE'S A GONER

Rosie O'Donnell confided to The View's Joy Behar that she is definitely leaving her talk show next year. As Behar spilled to Viewers on Thursday: "September begins her very last season, so all of this press about how she's staying, she's gonna stay for three more years, is not true. Rosie is leaving — Tom Selleck can work again!" Behar also revealed that O'Donnell's decision to leave was the reason she resubmitted her name for Daytime Emmy consideration. And regarding talk that [Today's] Katie Couric has expressed interest in replacing O'Donnell, Behar offered: "She could get up later. I mean, think about it. The poor woman gets up at three in the morning."
