War of the Rosies

Only four months in to her new role on The View, co-host and moderator Rosie O'Donnell has generated huge ratings, mixed reviews from fans, and, more than anything, her fair share of feuds.

Here's a rundown of her major clashes so far.

Rosie versus Kelly Ripa

There was a day in late November when Clay Aiken guest hosted Live with Regis and Kelly. During his stay, he -- in some viewers' eyes -- gave Kelly Ripa some lip and proceeded to cover her mouth while she was trying to ask Dancing with the Stars Emmett Smith a question.

Kelly didn't like it. And she lashed out.

Rosie didn't like that, so she gave her two cents: Kelly's actions were homophobic.

The comment prompted Ripa to call The View and speak with Rosie directly.

Rosie versus Donald Trump

Really, Kelly was just a warm-up. Rosie's ongoing feud with Donald Trump has not only made headlines, but has created a firestorm that dragged veteran journalist Barbara Walters into the fray.
