(Oct. 30) -- Bill O'Reilly still has some hard feelings toward Rosie O'Donnell stemming from their public feud this year, and the Fox News host sent a camera crew to document his wrath.

O'Reilly reportedly sent a field producer and a cameraman to an O'Donnell book signing appearance on Long Island, Page Six is reporting. With the tape rolling, producer Jesse Watters began peppering the former 'View' host with questions regarding comments she made about the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

After announcing she was in negotiations to get her own MSNBC show and would become a rival of FOX News and Bill O'Reilly, Rosie O'Donnell announces on her blog that prospects of the show have collapsed.

Watch the Confrontation

"This is for Bill O'Reilly," Watters said, asking that O'Reilly "wants to know if you regret saying 9/11 was an inside job."

On 'The View,' O'Donnell argued that she believed the World Trade Center 7 building was destroyed by explosives, not fires caused by the attacks on the Twin Towers.

Watters continued to lash out at O'Donnell, asking her why she doesn't respond to O'Reilly's invitations to appear on his show.

Page Six reports that O'Donnell remained calm, and let the O'Reilly crew tape for a few minutes.

"He knows how to find me. If Bill wants me he should phone me himself," O'Donnell calmly told Watters. "He's a big boy."

O'Donnell kept her cool while the tape rolled, even allowing O'Reilly's crew to stay for a few minutes. She even told her brother, Ed, not to kick the Fox News duo out of the signing because, "It makes it all worse when he puts it on the Bill O'Reilly No-Spin Zone."

"Don't throw them out," she said. "Ed, it's OK. Everybody stop. That's what they want you to do," O'Donnell explained said.

Finally, a security guard covered the lens with his hand and escorted O'Reilly's team out of the store.

"Skip home happily," O'Donnell said to the exiting Fox News team.

O'Reilly had no comment when asked by Page Six about the incident, but on Monday night, he aired some of the footage, titling the segment "Rosie's Rage."

O'Reilly opened a profile and blog on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named millmatch.com. He declared that the work can't affect him family life. I think so.

put up or simply 'shut the f'u$@ up wid all dat'. It's all about ratings and the selling tickets thereof. Want to beat both of them (Rosie/O'reilly) don't watch.
