Rosie Claims ABC Silenced Epstein Survivors
Rosie O’Donnell says ABC pulled the plug – so she went rogue.
The comedian claims she wanted to interview survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse during her final night guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“My idea for the last night was to do the Epstein reveal,” O’Donnell recalled, saying she was told officials were “certain that could not happen.”
“So I said, ‘Well, then I’m going to do it myself,’” she said. O’Donnell then met with eight survivors and shared footage online. She now hopes to turn longer interviews into a documentary or online project.
ABC hasn’t publicly explained the decision.
Lionel Hospitalized Again Amid Heart Issues
Lionel Richie is putting “All Night Long” on hold.
The 77-year-old singer has canceled three upcoming shows after being hospitalized with atrial fibrillation and undergoing a minimally invasive heart procedure.

“Lionel is doing great but will take some time off and will be back on stage soon,” they added. The scare marks Richie’s third hospitalization in three months, including an August ICU stay after appearing weak during a concert.

Kim Kardashian is blooming… and barely wearing a thing.

Trump TV Flops With Just 8,000 Viewers
Trump TV is already fighting for eyeballs.
President Donald Trump’s new 24/7 YouTube channel launched with 8,000 viewers – but just two hours later, that number had crashed to 3,000. By 6 a.m. the next morning, fewer than 1,000 people were watching.
Critics wasted no time piling on, with the Lincoln Project declaring: “So, state-run media. Donald Trump is the communist.”
The channel arrived days after Trump barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. Deputy assistant Kaelan Dorr said it was needed because “the press, in some cases, reported inaccurately or not at all on the Administration’s many record-breaking accomplishments.”
Trump TV may be on 24/7… but viewers aren’t exactly glued to the screen.
