The Sydney Morning Herald: Madonna sides with Rosie.

Rosie O'Donnell has a powerful ally in her feud with Donald
Trump: her close friend Madonna.

"People are giving Rosie a hard time," Madonna, who starred with
O'Donnell in 1992's A League of Their Own, said on
America's Today show. "I wish they'd stop. I don't think
it's fair."

The 48-year-old pop star told Today co-host Meredith
Vieira that she had first heard about the flare-up between
O'Donnell and Trump while holidaying "in the middle of the Indian
Ocean" and quickly emailed O'Donnell.

"I have to hear it from the horse's mouth," Madonna said.
"Basically, I mean, she's a stand-up comic. I think all stand-up
comics talk about provocative things in their monologues before
shows, and I think that's a commonplace thing."
