ROSIE O'DONNELL--BACK ON T.V.

Rosie O'Donnell says not to expect any politics or arguing on her upcoming variety show, Rosie Live.O'Donnell says she talked about contentious issues on The View because it was part of her job. But on her variety show, set to air on NBC at 8 pm/ET on the night before Thanksgiving, her only job is "to give people an hour to forget about their troubles," she says."Variety shows were a big hit in the '70s when the economy was in the crapper, and gasoline was scarce, and people's belief in the political system was shaky. It's the right time" to do a variety show again, she told reporters Wednesday.The show should be packed with entertaining guests: Guests include Alec Baldwin, Jane Krakowski, Ne-Yo, Alanis Morissette, Kathy Griffin and one of O'Donnell's childhood heroes, Liza Minelli. O'Donnell said the Cabaret star will sing a song audiences haven't heard in 30 years.
