ROSIE BACK ON TV

Rosie O'Donnell is in talks with MSNBC to return to TV, The New York Times is reporting.

The paper is reporting that the network is in ongoing negotiations with the talk show host.

NBC has been aggressively courting Rosie in recent months for a number of jobs, including host of a possible new game show.

O'Donnell is now being lined up for a 9:00 PM show, which would replace MSNBC's little-watched Live with Dan Abrams.

That highly competitive time slot would see Rosie take on Larry King at CNN and Hannity & Colmes on Fox News.
