Rosie O’Donnell & Elisabeth Hasselbeck Mend Friendship

The once bitter feud between Rosie and Elisabeth, former co-hosts on “The View”, has apparently been put to rest.

The duo, who were known for their politically charged verbal sparring wars during the show’s “Hot Topics” segment, have bonded again through their mutual motherhood, according to a report in People.

While attending “The Little Mermaid” on Broadway, Rosie said of Hasselbeck’s two-month-old son, Taylor Thomas, “He’s very, very cute. I saw him on TV, and I sent him a lovely gift, and [she and Hasselbeck] have been e-mailing each other. And peace prevails.”

So what did Rosie pick out for little Taylor Thomas?

“I sent something for him and something for his big sister (two-year-old Grace),” Rosie told People. “Because, as the mother of four, I know that when the newborn arrives, the most important thing is a sibling gift. For [Taylor], it was a lot of clothes, because babies spit up a lot. I go to Baby Gap. There is a standard newborn gift pack – as much as you can buy at the Gap without being arrested. And a learning gift, a soft shape sorter. And then for [Grace] who is older, I got a tea set that she loves.”

The Rosie and Elisabeth friendship appears to be so strong, that Rosie was all compliments for her former co-host, saying ” She seems good. She looks like she adopted, like she didn’t give birth. She looks perfectly fit and gorgeous already.”

Hasselbeck returned to “The View” with newborn son, Taylor Thomas, on Jan. 7.
