Rosie O'Donnell quit The View last week, and in case anyone cares, the 52-year-old star posted a video on her website explaining why she left.
In the clip, which is titled, "A Heartfelt View – on we Grow," Rosie says it had more to do with personal reasons than not getting along with others on the show. Well, sorta.
“The truth is I had a heart attack two years ago and stress is very bad for heart attack survivors. You should minimize your stress, maximize your exercise, and control your diet,†Rosie says. “So that’s what I’m doing. I’m minimizing my stress by leaving The View and the stress that I’m having at home was not as easily remediable. It’s hard. Marriage is complicated and I’ve got five kids, four of them are teenagers and there’s lots of stuff going on at home, and lots of stuff going on at work. The only thing I can really control is the work, by leaving. I can turn that volume down all the way to zero.â€
After a 7-year hiatus, O'Donnell returned to The View in 2014, but she announced last week that she was leaving yet again. Think she'll be back?

Will Smith and Margot Robbie are getting some serious love from serious fans!
The actors, who are co-stars in the upcoming film Focus, were mobbed by fans upon arriving at LAX on Monday night. The duo are currently making the rounds to promote their new flick, which opens on Feb. 26
Focus centers around a veteran grifter (Smith) who shows a young woman (Robbie) the ropes, however things take a turn when the two become romantically involved.
This is one of the Independence Day actor's first films since bombing at the box office two years ago. Earlier this week, Smith talked about the box office failure, After Earth, which cost $130 million to make, but only grossed only $60 million. The box office hero spoke to Variety about the film's flop, saying, “After the failure of After Earth, a thing got broken in my mind."
But it appears as though things have mended for Smith. The actor is slated to star in five upcoming films, including Bad Boys 3 and Suicide Squad, which also stars Robbie.

Bruce Jenner stepped out on Tuesday to grab coffee in Malibu, and this marks the first time he's been seen in public since his involvement in a horrific car crash on Saturday that left one woman dead.
Bruce was very somber when he left Starbucks, and he stayed silent when photographers asked about the fatal crash. Since his Cadillac SUV is currently smashed up and in the shop, Bruce was driving a much smaller Ford Fiesta, which is presumably a rental. Bruce wore his hair in a ponytail and wore his usual getup of baggy jeans and a hoodie, and he kept his hat and shades covering his face.
Between the accident and the news that he's transitioning from a man to a woman, he has a LOT on his plate right now. But with all this going on, Bruce will continue filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians, along with his own show, with will follow his gender transition.
Earlier today it was confirmed that Jenner hired high-profile attorney Blair Berk to represent him, and though he reportedly wasn't speeding or texting at the time of the crash, he could face misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charges. A number of sites have published photos of the reality TV star smoking a cigarette moments before the crash, and TMZ reports that Jenner may have been following the car he hit too closely, which is a traffic violation. According to California traffic laws, a violation that results in the death of another motorist could be grounds for manslaughter.
Bruce said in a statement on Monday, "My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident. It is a devastating tragedy and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible."

Kelly Osbourne made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and we still wish the Fashion Police host would get rid of her purple locks, but we do love her outfit!
And apparently Jimmy did too, as he complimented Kelly on her getup and asked her how much she feels the need to dress up on a daily basis. After all, her job is critiquing the wardrobe choices of other big celebs, and we've always wondered why she gets to speak her mind when she's frequently on the worst-dressed list.
Click the video below to see what she had to say about that ... her answer may surprise you!

Bobbi Kristina Brown will be taken off life support tomorrow, reports TMZ.
Brown's father Bobby has finally realized that it's time to say goodbye to his 21-year-old daughter, and a source told the site that Cissy Houston, Whitney's mother, supports this decision to "bond mother and daughter for eternity." Tomorrow is the third anniversary of Houston's death.
Last night family and friends gathered at the Riverdale Town Center amphitheater in Riverdale, Georgia Monday to hold a candlelight vigil for Bobbi Kristina, and though Bobby and Cissy were not present, Bobbi Kristina's uncle, Tommy Brown, as well as aunts Tina and Leaola, spoke. Riverdale mayor Evelyn Wynn-Dixon was there, and about 300 people came out to show their support. Tommy Brown said, "I know she thanks all of y'all. Continue to pray for us. Remember when you wake up we should all pray for each other."
Brown was found facedown in her bathtub a week and a half ago, and after being placed under a medically induced coma last Monday, her condition has not improved. Though it was initially labeled as an accident, police have now launched a criminal investigation into the incident after discovering new evidence. "Foul play is begin investigated, including drug use and possibly cover-up to remove evidence from the crime scene," a source told People.
UPDATE: Us Weekly is now saying that Bobbi Kristina will NOT be taken off life support, and a Houston family source told the mag that there is "no truth to [the reports] at all." Hmm, who to believe?
Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC, legal counsel for Bobby Brown, added in a statement:
"[T]he false reports that continue to appear in print and on the internet are egregious, false and will be dealt with at an appropriate time. In particular, the false reporting of TMZ, The National Enquirer, The Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Daily Mail (UK) citing, police sources, family sources and Bobby Brown himself, will receive my attention. The desire to be “first†has clouded the judgment of many reporters as they forgo accuracy. This is a criminal investigation and the integrity of that process requires silence."

It was only a matter of time before this happened...
Miley Cyrus has submitted her short film "Tongue Tied" to the NYC Porn Film Festival, which kicks off on February 27.
In the clip, the 21-year-old starlet appears covered in black tape and latex, and at a few points she's fully nude. Seeing as we recently had our eyes assaulted with Kim Kardashian's greased up vagina, this isn't really that bad -- though it has kinda ruined one of our fav Alt-J songs for us. Oh, and if this black and white montage looks familiar, it's because Miley played it at the beginning of her Bangerz Tour shows last year, and we posted the clip online shortly after it first hit the web.
"It’s a pop take on S&M," festival founder Simon Leahy told reporters. "She’s starting to become more of a contemporary artist." The festival is sponsored by the free video site PornHub, and according to The New York Post, the opening night party will feature a screening of Tila Tequila's latest sex tape. Um, didn't she JUST give birth? We're terrified...
And we have to admit, Miley does look pretty good here -- but given how skimpy her concert wardrobe has gotten over the years (not to mention her penchant for sticking out her tongue), this isn't really anything new:

Bruce Jenner has hired attorney Blair Berk to represent him after his involvement in a horrific car crash over the weekend that left one woman dead. Berk famously represented Lindsay Lohan back in the day, and her other celeb clients include Mel Gibson and Britney Spears.
Despite reports that Bruce caused the accident by rear-ending the woman, Sgt. Philip Brooks from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station said in a statement yesterday that the crash was caused when a Prius stopped on the highway. The car was then struck by a white Lexus, at which point Bruce rear-ended the white Lexus. The Lexus was pushed into oncoming traffic and struck by a black Hummer, and the driver of the vehicle died shortly thereafter.
Police have determined that Bruce was not speeding, but Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Lecrivain did note that there is no evidence that Bruce was being chased by paparazzi. Jenner took multiple sobriety tests and offered to give police his phone records to
prove he wasn't texting while driving, but a number of sites have published photos of the reality TV star smoking a cigarette moments before the crash, and TMZ reports that Jenner may have been following the Lexus too closely, which is a traffic violation. According to California traffic laws, a violation that results in the death of another motorist could be grounds for misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.
Bruce said in a statement on Monday, "My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident. It is a devastating tragedy and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible."

Khlo looks fab, but Kimmy K looks drab!
Kim Kardashian headed out to do some shopping for daughter Nori at Trico Fields today in NYC, and the reality star didn't let the cold temperatures stop her from displaying her cleavage in a white crop top, which she paired with the most unflattering camo cropped pants ever! Who let her leave the house looking like this?!
Khloe, meanwhile, caught a flight to the Big Apple today after hosting the E! Grammy after party last night, and she managed to pull off the cropped pants and boots ensemble far better than her older sister.
Kanye's wife needs to realize that sometimes less is more when it comes to rocking trends. She better be careful, too, because her rapper hubby claims the only reason the K sisters are famous is because they're pretty. "The Kardashians wouldn’t be famous if beauty wasn’t important,†he boldly declared during an E! interview.
This quite possibly could be Kim's biggest fashion fail to date!
