Rosie O'Donnell pranced over to The Today Show to discuss with Meredith Viera her upcoming (and ill-advised) variety show that is scheduled to torment your television sets this week. Naturally, the two former View moderators discussed Rosie's latest feud with Barbara Walters, which is likely not going to end anytime soon seeing as how Ro just can't keep her mouth shut. |

» Still Pissed…
Michael Petrelis is still mad at Rosie O'Donnell and today highlight's the fact that the lesbian entertainer once donated to anti-gay Republican Elizabeth Dole, yet hasn't helped fight for California's gay marriages. [Petrelis Files] |

Meanwhile, Bill Maher Takes On Right (Of Course)
Just finished checking Rosie O'Donnell's Rosie.com blog and find it kind of mind-boggling that she is writing about "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and old Reese Witherspoon movies and not a word about Proposition 8. I am curious about why Rosie, always so outspoken, has been so out of the picture … |

First there's that NBC variety show, which will be piped in coast-to-coast on Thanksgiving eve, and now comes word that the lesbian entertainer will soon headline a new Lifetime made-for-the-boob-tube movie: Rosie O'Donnell has signed on to star in and exec produce America, a telepic for Lifetime about a 16-year-old boy's struggles within the foster-care system. For those of you who never saw Riding on the Bus With My Sister - and, really, who can blame you? - O'Donnell played a mentally disabled girl. It was, in a word, absurd. Don't believe us? Check out a clip down below. (PS: Toilet seat!) |

Over a year after leaving The View in a huff, Rosie O'Donnell has struck a deal with NBC to host a special one-hour variety show on November 26, the day before Thanksgiving. And, if all goes well, the show could spin-off into a regular gig for the lesbian comedienne. |

None of these outings were that surprising, but they have all slowly changed gay acceptance of Hollywood and, in fact, the world. Aiken's outing differs, however, in two notable, intrinsically entwined ways. And the aftershocks could help change the State of gay play. |
» Twins…
Rosie O'Donnell does not approve of former colleague Elisabeth Hasselbeck's attacks on Michelle Obama. So, in a bit of revenge, she penned one of her famously disorganized blog poems. And, for once, this one makes sense - O'Donnell says Hasselbeck and Republican running mate Sarah Palin are "identical twins" who "hunt in high heels." She then urges readers to "take pause."

» Outtie 5000.
Lesbian entertainer and troublemaker Rosie O'Donnell's taking a perhaps permanent vacation from blogging. Whatever will we do without her nonsensical poetics?! We wonder if this has anything to do with her rumored NBC variety show? [Jossip] |
» "Family" Fun.
"R Family Vacations is led by Rosie O’Donnell, the entertainer and talk-show host; Kelli O’Donnell, the pixieish entertainment executive who recently became her wife; and their business partner, Gregg Kaminsky, and caters to gay and lesbian families. But anyone who might have signed up looking for something sexy or even illicit — for a Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name Boat — well, that ship had left the harbor. Whatever their sexual orientation, this was an extremely straight bunch." [NY Times] |
» Waiting Game.
While some gay celebrities are jumping straight into marriage, Rosie O'Donnell and her gal pal Kelli Carpenter are waiting until everyone can marry: "[We're] going to wait until it's legal everywhere, because otherwise, I said to Kelli, we'll be going around touring the country on the marriage tour every state by state. Once it gets to be at the federal level, once every state recognizes the marriages of every other state, I think that'll be the time we would do it." Wow. We actually agree with Rosie O'Donnell. What is the world coming to?! [AP] |

The two pals hope to star in The New Thirty. Sounds perfect for a mid-season crisis! |
» Love Lost
Rosie O'Donnell appears on Rachael Ray's television show tomorrow and breaks the heart-breaking news that she's no longer in love with Tom Cruise, her famed straight crush. And she coldly told him via email: “Tom knows, I wrote him an e-mail: ‘Sorry it’s happened, I didn’t think it would.’" That'll learn Cruise not to be such a raving lunatic. [MSNBC] |
