STRAIGHT WHITE WOMEN FROM THE VIEW LOSE, LESBIANS GET THE LAST LAUGH!


Ellen Beats The View at Daytime Emmys

Not even Rosie O'Donnell and her big-fat-lesbian headline-grabbing year at The View could top Ellen DeGeneres.

DeGeneres's show won six trophies, including her fourth straight win for best talk show and third straight victory as best talk-show host.

Speaking about her View competition, the other gay daytime queen added, "I really am shocked. ... I thought Rosie brought a lot of new viewers to daytime television and it was interesting."

And with that, she decided she wanted to follow Rosie, Elisabeth and company and become more controversial, the Associated Press reports.

"I know this might not be popular and I don't care because that's what I'm doing," she said. "I just want to say it – I think Bob Barker is a quitter."

It was a big night for Barker, 83, who got the call to "Come on Down!" from DeGeneres to receive his 19th award for best game-show host.

Backstage, when asked who could fill his shoes as host of Price Is Right, Barker floated Rosie O'Donnell as a possible successor.

"I believe they're going to have a meeting with Rosie," Barker told reporters backstage, according to AP.

"She knows the show. There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show," he said.

"Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know. I've never heard that discussed. As far as I know, they've only auditioned men."
