Rosie O’Donnell

A fan asked famed lesbian Rosie O'Donnell what she makes of Star Jones' impending divorce from Al Reynolds. O'Donnell, employing her poetic gibberish, replied: "we all fool rselves/sometimes." What, oh what, could she be talking about? [R Blog via Gawker]

Famous lesbian Rosie O'Donnell denied The Globe's front page allegations that she bullied her son. The story - entitled "Raging Rosie Bullies Her Boy" - spurred this response: "The story is absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous. There is no truth to it whatsoever." [HuffPo]

Is It Contagious?

The Center For Disease Control went on high alert today after Clay Aiken and Rosie O'Donnell exhibited symptoms of severely annoying silly face. Though initially thought to be gay face, these images prove there's something for more sinister at work.

The Vatican has also been called in for good measure.

Be. Very. Afraid.

Ellen Tops <em>Out</em>'s Power List

The time is upon us once again for the second time: Out magazine's annual Power Issue. While we didn't make the cut of the 50 most powerful homos, funny lesbian Ellen DeGeneres did - and, in fact, takes the cake, beating out the likes of Joe Solmonese, editor Adam Moss and fallen queen of the lesbians, Rosie O'Donnell.

Also in this issue, Michael Musto offers a follow-up to last year's The Glass Closet, which called out people like Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper for not coming out. This year's essay, Shattered Glass, examines the parameters of coming out. Sure, Jodie Foster intimated at her lesbianic ways, but does it matter if she's not willing to talk to the fag rags.

It's the eternal question: If a gay comes out, but doesn't follow up, does anything change?

Twisted Sisters.

King On O'Donnell's Shit List

Celeb-war mongering Rosie O'Donnell's got a new target: Larry King.

O'Donnell took to her blog this weekend to criticize the legendary "journo" for making fun of Fran Drescher's Spanish-language Clinton endorsement.

O'Donnell posted a poll on her Web site over the weekend asking readers to vote on whether King should "retire soon."

The poll appears under a picture of King and a headline that reads: "It's getting tough 2 watch."

The site said about 8,400 votes were recorded and 88 percent said yes to the retirement question.

Alright, we know Larry King ain't a hard-hitting journalist, but who else would tell Snoop Dogg that he always "gives [it] to the Jew". No one!

Community Marketing just sent out a very sapphic press release: "Community Marketing researchers are often asked, "What’s new in lesbian and gay market trends?" This year, the most important insights come from new, statistically significant research findings into lesbian consumers. Based on this new wealth of research and analysis, we are calling 2008 "The Year of the Lesbian…" With the help of CM's new findings, marketers can mine useful information about lesbianic buying habits. For example, did you know that the top three lesbian magazines are People, AARP, and O Magazine. Queen lesbian and failed magazine publisher Rosie O'Donnell had no comment.

We never took Rosie O'Donnell as a booze hound, but apparently the lesbian comedienne thinks otherwise. She admitted to a fan recently that she's been drinking too much and hopes to stop - and lose weight as a result: "[O'Donnell] made the confession on her blog after telling one fan she'd shed pounds by giving up beer… [Another fan asked] "So, Rosie, alcoholic or not? Just spit it out!…What led to you stopping the beer? You'll only help someone else." To which O'Donnell admitted: " 'Cause I was drinking too much, 'cause I didn't want to any more, 'cause it is hard to lose weight when drinking, 'cause I can never have only one." [Page Six]

Despite the fact that his parents hate his guts and he owes coppers $20,000, the kids has absolutely no contrition. When asked if he has advice for other kids who want to follow suit, he replies: "Have me do it." Why? "Because it was the best party". Sweet!

Rosie and Elisabeth Kiss and Make Up
New Baby Brings Peace!

Oh, happy day! After months of feuding, Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck are friends again:

O'Donnell threatened never to speak to Hasselbeck again after they had a heated argument on the hit TV show "The View."

But the comedienne has had a change of heart since leaving the talk show last year and has bought Hasselbeck's two-month-old son Taylor Thomas a present to show there are no hard feelings.

O'Donnell tells People.com, "He's very, very cute. I saw him on TV, and I sent him a lovely gift, and we (she and Hasselbeck) have been e-mailing each other. And peace prevails."

Could little Taylor Thomas be the second coming?

Happy Endings: Ups and Downs

• A majority of American citizens support same-sex civil unions, according to ABC News, but not all opinions are created evenly:

Overall, 55 percent favor allowing homosexual couples to form legally recognized civil unions, giving them the same rights as married couples in areas such as health insurance, inheritance and pension coverage. That's up from 45 percent in an ABC/Post poll in 2006; the previous high was 51 percent in 2004.

On civil unions, support peaks among adults under age 30, and tanks among seniors. It's highest in the East and West, notably lower in the Midwest and South. Whites overall are more apt than blacks to support gay civil unions, and the idea wins more support among women (59 percent) than men (51 percent, and 47 percent among married men).

Interesting divide between single and married men, no?

Bubba Broke O'Donnell's Heart
Projection Propels Lewinsky Breakdown

Rosie O'Donnell really took the Monica Lewinsky scandal to heart.

Unemployed O'Donnell told her New York Comedy Festival audience that she once used her stage to rail against Bill Clinton's philandering ways. The lesbian entertainer didn't know, however, that Clinton had been in attendance. Upset by her rant - during which O'Donnell said she hated the then-president - Clinton sent O'Donnell a note and his phone number. Impressed by his balls, O'Donnell dialed up Billy Boy, whose apology apparently brought tears to Rosie's eyes. Page Six relates the story she related.

"And I said, 'You know, listen, here's the deal, dude. I've been disappointed by men my whole life. I loved JFK, my mother loved JFK, and you were the JFK to me. And you let me down, man. You killed me and that hurt me a lot, and when you hurt me, I don't know, I didn't expect that out of you and I thought you could do better for your wife, for the country and just in general."

Clinton then worked his charm on O'Donnell. "He goes, 'I'm sorry for all the men who ever hurt you, I'm sorry that I hurt you. Everything you've said to me, I've said to myself, and I hope one day you can forgive me, and I hope I can forgive me.'"

It's then that O'Donnell says she lost it and cried like a baby whose deep psychological issues cause severe, debilitating, presidential projection.
