Rosie O'Donnell: Giving Birth to 'A Flaming Child On The Floor Of An Igloo' Preferable to Watching 'Melancholia' Again

It's the Rosie O'Donnell-Lars von Trier debate you've been waiting for! O'Donnell, never one to mince words or hold back emotions, recently had some very unkind things to say about Von Trier's "Melancholia," at the National Board of Review Awards Gala.

"If I had the choice between giving birth to a flaming child on the floor of an igloo, or watching that film again, I would choose the birth of my child," said a candid Rosie.

The part-time actress and full-time talk show host wasn't finished, as she also managed to insult Lars, the country of Denmark and Woody Allen in one fell swoop: "I'm happy to hear that Lars von Trier is not here today. He's from Denmark. Fuck it, I don't know where that country is, I'll never look for him, or Woody Allen. Pedophile? Who's to say?"

Who knew Rosie had such pent up aggression toward the Danish (or apocalyptic movies or "Midnight in Paris")?

Although von Trier is, apparently, no longer talking to the press, maybe he will make an exception here? C'mon Lars, you can't let O'Donnell get the best of you!

"Full time talk show host". Considering her abysmal ratings and they are really bad she won't be one for long. How she convinced Oprah that a paranoid 911 conspiracy theorist was a good fit for daytime TV eludes me.

The Danes are not Dutch. They are Danish. The Dutch are from Holland. Seems the writer doesn't know where Denmark is either.
