Rosie Sticks to Her Guns
By Unloading Kmart Gig
osie O'Donnell is out as Kmart's top
pitchwoman.
The daytime talk host is walking away from her
starring role with the company over her stance
on guns.
A vociferous gun-control advocate, O'Donnell said yesterday that
she thought her future efforts on the hot-button issue would make
it difficult for her to continue hyping the gun-selling retail giant.
"It's only fair to Kmart that I stop doing
commercials," she said.
"Rosie intends to be proactive in her gun
control efforts . . ." added Lois Smith, her
spokesperson. "It was important for her to
take herself out of commercials so neither she
nor Kmart would be further criticized."
But Kmart insiders told us yesterday that the
company gave O'Donnell her walking papers because it had
grown tired of the negative publicity her gun stance was bringing
them.
O'Donnell and Kmart deny the charges and emphasize that they
have not severed ties. Rosie will appear in two final holiday
commercials and Kmart will continue to support her For All Kids
Foundation, the company said.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my relationship with Kmart, and I am
extremely pleased with the amount of money we raised together,"
Rosie added. "I will continue to be involved with Kmart's
philanthropic activities."
