ROSIE'S DREAM DEAL

That nasty behind-the-scenes battle on "The View" rages on: ROSIE O'DONNELL wants to quit, BARBARA WALTERS wants her to split - but suddenly there's a new game afoot, and ABC network honchos are saying, "Not so fast, ladies!" Even though Rosie's a troublemaker, she's a ratings-breaker, and the bigwigs fear losing her to rivals...so now they're discussing a dream deal even "Nanna" Barbara's starting to love: In exchange for drawing eyes to "The View" for just one more year, ABC will hand Rosie a deal to develop her own half-hour comedy show for a Fall 2008 debut! Stay tuned, MR. TRUMP.
