Rosie's new target? Naughty Paula

Rosie O'Donnell is one of the 37 million TV viewers watching "American Idol," but don't count her among those who liked what they saw.

It's only one week into the new season and the scandals begin. Two episodes in and judges are already accused of going too far.

For the second day in a row, "The View" co-host suggested Paula Abdul was drinking during the show and lashed out at the show for making fun of the people auditioning. O'Donnell and her co-hosts played a clip from Wednesday night's "Idol," in which a contestant, following an off-key audition, was roundly mocked and rejected by the judges. "That's compassion for you," O'Donnell said. "Isn't that what America thinks is entertainment, to make fun of someone's physical appearance? And then, when they leave the room, laugh hysterically at them -- three millionaires, one probably intoxicated."

The 44-year-old Abdul canceled all media interviews the following day, saying that she had a sore throat after sitting in the chilly studio Thursday. "She never drinks," Ballard said. "I have known Paula since she was 13, and I have never seen her drink ever in my life. ... And no, she is not on any kind of medication." Is this the new Trump versus Rosie battle? You be the judge. Round two...
