The O’Donnell ladies cheered Clay on in the Broadway production of Spamalot Tuesday night.
Rosie and Kelli will soon be embarking on the “R Family Vacations” cruise to the Mexican Riviera on Saturday. Yes, the cruise that Rosie invited American Idol’s Danny Noriega to.

Rosie O’Donnell makes peace with her former “The View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck sending her baby gifts for 2-month-old son Taylor Thomas and 2-year-old Grace.
“I sent something for him and something for his big sister,” said Rosie. “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.”
On her relationship with Elisabeth these days: “We e-mail back and forth,” she said. “She seems good. She looks like she adopted, like she didn’t give birth. She looks perfectly fit and gorgeous already.”
What in the world is going on? Is our dear Rosie getting SOFT?

Rosie O’Donnell’s character, Dawn Budge, is returning for a multi-episode arc in Nip/Tuck starting this week. Watch a video preview of one of her scenes below–Rosie gets attacked by an eagle!
“I think that I prefer this, you know, to doing a talk show and talking to other people about how much fun they had doing this,” Rosie has said. “This is a different thing. This is not about me, this is not ‘Rosie O’Donnell in . . .’ This, I’m a guest on an existing show that I think has tremendous artistic merit. And the fact that [creator Ryan Murphy], the artist, feels that the color that I create for him in Dawn Budge is something he can paint with — that’s an amazing feeling. Very different from ‘live studio audience!’ and ‘me, me, me!’ And, every time you move, being on Entertainment Tonight. The acting part, this whole thing is really fun. It’s kind of what you dreamed of when you’re a kid. Or, it is for me.”
Nip/Tuck episode “Dawn Budge II” airs on Tuesday, Nov. 20 @ 9PM ET/PT on FX.
Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell signs copies of her autobiography Celebrity Detox: The Fame Game at Barnes and Noble book store (555 Fifth Avenue) on Tuesday in New York City. All net profits from the book will support her Rosie’s Broadway Kids program.
When Donald Trump was asked about asked Rosie’s new book, he told Extra that, “The book is boring and has no educational value. Rosie is very unkind to Barbara Walters who saved her dying career. She is a very disloyal person.”
The art of Rosie will also be on display at The Gallery at New World Stages starting today. The collection of art works is titled “Solace” and features paintings created during 2003-2005. The exhibition will run through Dec. 2. More Here! »
Rosie O’Donnell turned down an opportunity to promote her book “Celebrity Detox” with Oprah, opting instead to be interviewed by Diane Sawyer. (The book slams Barbara Walters, Donald Trump and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.)
Says Rosie’s rep to Page Six, “I’m sure Rosie will do Oprah’s show another time.”
Rosie quickly turned to her blog to express her reasons why she turned down the big invitation from Oprah. Here’s her reasons why, explained on her official blog:
|
the book was hard 2 write things i could barely say aloud writing is i do not feel ready read it urself the goal always is peace |
for now i decided no interviews about celebrity detox it is too raw my no oprah is a force of nature although fueds seems 2 b all the rage with pure intent off 2 b dawn budge |
Rosie O’Donnell could not come to a contractual agreement with ABC daytime, so her run as co-host on The View will come to end mid-June.
Barbara Walters said in a statement, “I induced Rosie to come back to television on The View even for just one year. She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year. I am very sad that ABC Daytime could not reach an agreement with her for a second year. We will all miss Rosie on The View, and hope she will be back with us often next season. She remains for me a cherished friend and colleague.”
Rosie added, “This has been an amazing experience, and one I wouldn’t have traded for the world. Working with Barbara, Joy and Elisabeth has been one of the highlights of my career, but my needs for the future just didn’t dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me. To all the viewers out there, I just want to say ‘thank you’ for opening up your hearts and your homes to me this past year. But you can always find me at rosie.com. Here’s hoping there’s more confetti for all of us going forward.”
