"We followed Rosie's passion and compassion, her feuds and fearlessness, her humanity and humor."Walters said she and O'Donnell "remain respectful and affectionate friends."Roseanne Barr comments on Sacha Baron Cohen, also known as Borat. "He does offend some people's sensibilities, but the youth of today are offended if they're not offended," she wrote.Scorsese wrote the praise for DiCaprio and described him as "true actor.""DiCaprio is another guy a lot of us underestimated as a pretty-boy type," Adi Ignatius, a deputy managing editor at Time, told AP Television News.The list included Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, Tyra Banks, Cate Blanchett, America Ferrera, Tina Fey, John Mayer, Brian Williams, Michael J. Fox, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller.
