Rosie O'Donnell Secretly Married Girlfriend Michelle Rounds In June

Aug 27, 2012 12:15 PM

Rosie O'Donnell secretly married her fiancee Michelle Rounds this past June, the talk show host revealed on her blog today. "We were to wed 10 days ago but her illness forced us to postpone the wedding," she explained.

It has been a rough couple months for the couple. Rounds was diagnosed with desmoid tumors, which is a rare, cancer-like disease that required surgery. Then, on Aug. 14, O'Donnell suffered a heart attack, which landed her in the hospital.

"We married in private before her surgery just the two of us," she added.

They have yet to throw a celebratory bash, however! "When we are both well enough, [we] will have the wedding of our dreams surrounded by those we cherish. [We] are thankful for the love and support so many have given us during these trying times," she expressed in the heartfelt note.

The couple plan to hold the ceremony in summer 2013. Congrats lovebirds!

Rosie O'Donnell Suffers Heart Attack

Aug 20, 2012 02:00 PM

Rosie O'Donnell suffered a heart attack last week but is now recovering at home, she revealed on her blog today. "Thank god/saved by a tv commerical/literally," the 50-year-old writes.

Apparently the talk show host began to notice symptoms following her assistance of an "enormous woman" struggling to exit a car in NY on Aug. 14. Hours later, the funny woman began to experience chest pains, soreness in both arms, and clammy skin. She credits speedy Internet research and taking Bayer aspirin she'd seen recommended in an ad with her survival.

Doctors found that her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked, so a stent was inserted in an emergency operation. "They call this type of heart attack/the Widow Maker/i am lucky to be here," she explained of her condition.

This isn't the only health scare Miss O has experienced recently! Her fiancee, Michelle Rounds, was diagnosed with desmoid tumors earlier this month.

Get well soon Ro!

Rosie Continues To Talk About Lindsay's Career, Compares Her Troubles To Whitney Houston

Rosie O'Donnell is talking about Lindsay Lohan once again on The Today Show ... this time comparing her to Whitney Houston.

Earlier this week, the outspoken 50-year-old talk show host came under fire after saying that Lilo shouldn't have been given the role of Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime's upcoming Liz and Dick.

This time around, Rosie said the following to Matt Lauer:

    "I (was) watching Whitney Houston's funeral, and I remember thinking why didn't more people say what they knew? We all knew, when she would not show up to do this show, not show up to do my show, we watched 'Being Bobby Brown' and it was like watching Sid and Nancy, they were people who were in the throes of addiction. But all that anyone cared about was that the show was getting ratings, not that this woman, this talented individual, this human being, this mother, this daughter, was worth saving... To look at Lindsay Lohan you can't help but feel for her. I don't think she is not talented, I think she's quite talented."

In our X17 poll, we asked if you agreed with Rosie's comment about Lindsay being "incapable" of playing Elizabeth Taylor.

Overwhelming, 62% agreed with Rosie, 19% of you thought another actress should play Elizabeth Taylor and 10% said O'Donnell was being too harsh.

Rosie O'Donnell Slams Lindsay Lohan: I Don't Think She's Capable Of Playing Elizabeth Taylor

Apr 24, 2012 07:50 AM

Lindsay Lohan has officially been signed on to play Elizabeth Taylor in the upcoming Lifetime movie, Liz and Dick.

The casting announcement came while Rosie O'Donnell was appearing on The Today Show with Matt Lauer and guest Donny Deutsch.

After hearing Lilo had landed the role, O'Donnell said:

    "I feel very sorry for her ... I think she needs a lot of time away ... She's had a lot of trouble doing every single movie, including SNL. She was out and not in rehearsal. I think she's not in a place to work."

Deutsch said to Rosie, "She's our generation's Elizabeth Taylor."

Rosie replied:

    "You're out of your mind! You're a crackhead! The last thing she did good she was sixteen. I don't think she's right for the role and I don't think she's capable at this point to portray that character."

Yikes! The movie's producer, Larry Thompson, feels differently. He tells E! News. "Well, we have more than a Plan B actually ... [because] Lindsay Lohan may be the most insured actress that ever walked on a soundstage."





X17 Poll

Do you agree with Rosie's comment about Lindsay being "incapable" of playing Elizabeth Taylor?

No way! Rosie is completely out of line with her comments. Lindsay is a pro!
Absolutely! Lindsay is a trainwreck and has no business portraying a screen legend.
Either way, I think a better actress should be playing Elizabeth Taylor.
I don't plan on watching the movie anyway!

rosieodonnellhouseinset460

Rosie O'Donnell has sold her Chicago townhouse for $2.5 million ... and she's only lived there for less than a year.

The talk show host, who purchased the 6,000 square-foot pad last year for $2.25 million, bought the Lakeview area home after landing her gig with the Oprah Winfrey Network.

After one day on the market, it was snatched up! The townhouse features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, eleven foot ceilings, formal dining room, profession kitchen, a movie theater and a game room.

O'Donnell, who is now dating Michelle Rounds, split from her wife Kelli Carpenter back in 2007. The two are the parents to four kids.

At Friday's taping of The Rosie Show, the 49-year-old comedian told her audience that she and Rounds will say "I do" over Christmas. A source told Us Weekly, "[Rounds] is very attractive and friendly. Rosie was really proud and showing her off ... They seem really happy."

Rosie O'Donnell's Talk Show Debuts To Low Ratings

Oct 12, 2011 02:00 PM

OWN

Rosie O'Donnell's new talk show, The Rosie Show, debuted on OWN Monday night, and the ratings are in.

How did it do? Though the network's first daily talk show got fairly positive reviews from critics, it didn't score with audiences.

Rosie, airing at 7 p.m., garnered only 497,000 viewers.

This is bad news for OWN, which has basically seen ratings only decline since its debut earlier this year.




X17 Poll

Will Rosie O'Donnell's talk show make it?

No! I haven't watched it and I won't! Don't care!
Yes -- it just needs time build an audience! I love Rosie!
Maybe ... O'Donnell is funny, but OWN is a dying network!
