1. Rosie O'donnell
   Rosie O'Donnell [A]ttended both Dickinson College and Boston University, but she dropped out to pursue her career in comedy. She had first taken the stage at 16, pirating a show she had seen Jerry Seinfeld perform. She was later told she would have to write her own material. She toured comedy clubs from 1979-1984 before becoming a five-time comedy champion on the television show "Star Search." She was one of very few women doing stand-up comedy at the time. She drew enough attention as a comedian that she was asked to become host and executive producer of "Stand-Up Spotlight" on VH-1.
2. Rosie O'donnell -- Talks
   The afternoon talk show The Rosie O'Donnell Show established O'Donnell as "The Queen of Nice" after its 1996 debut. O'Donnell was a former stand-up comedian whose career took off when she landed a role alongside Madonna and Tom Hanks in the 1992 baseball movie A League of Their Own. She played the wisecracking second fiddle in other films like Sleepless in Seattle (1993, with Meg Ryan), until she moved into daytime television in 1996 as a cheerful, upbeat host. The Rosie O'Donnell Show focused on pleasantries and entertainment rather than conflict and issues, separating it from the shows of Oprah Winfrey and other daytime hosts of the era. O'Donnell won the Daytime Emmy Award as outstanding talk show host in 1997, 1998 and 1999. She left the show in mid-2002 and was replaced by actress Caroline Rhea.
3. Rosie O'donnell -- Miscellaneous
   Rosie is a classic limousine liberal. She doesn't want anyone to have guns, until it's her child she wants to protect, and then she expects to be able to hire an armed bodyguard to do for her exactly what she wants to deny the less well-off the ability to do.
4. Rosie O'donnell -- Queens
   Rosie O'Donnell's mother died of cancer, and was buried on O'Donnell's eleventh birthday. Her parents had kept her illness from the family, leaving O'Donnell and her siblings unprepared for her death. Her father did not allow the children to attend their mother's funeral, and she says he "wasn't very available" after that. The children were raised mostly by each other, with help from neighbors and teachers. O'Donnell shielded herself from all this by developing a sharp sense of humor, and idealized fictional families from The Sound of Music to The Brady Bunch. In high school she was a good athlete, homecoming queen and class president, but says she never dated.
5. Whoopi Goldberg -- Rosie O’Donnell
   Whoopi Goldberg has proven to be no Rosie O’Donnell. While Rosie’s successor on "The View" does lean to the left, she has taken some conservative positions like attacking the death tax. The January 22 edition was another example.
6. Rosie O'donnell -- Barbara Walters
   On March 27, 2007, O'Donnell started a video blog on her website Rosie.com answering fans questions, giving behind the scenes information and serving as a video diary. Originally featuring only O'Donnell and her hair and make-up artist Helene Macaulay they were soon joined on April 18 by her writer from The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Janette Barber.[109] They call themselves Jahero, which has each of their first name's letters in it. Occasionally Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Barbara Walters make short cameo appearances. Jenny McCarthy appeared once briefly, as has Hasselbeck's mother-in-law and O'Donnell's mother-in-law, her life-partner Kelli's mother. Kathy Griffin ... appeared, where she read some of the questions. It has become so popular that O'Donnell and her creative team are currently considering an "on the road" version of the video blog, in which Jahero would star. Although they are unsure of the locations, fan-submitted suggestions will likely influence the tour.
7. Rosie O'donnell -- New York
   Roseann Theresa "Rosie" O'Donnell was born on March 21, 1962 in Queens, New York. Her first big break occurred with Star Search and after this success moved on to sitcoms, with her series debut on Gimme a Break! in 1986. In 1988, she transferred to VH1, hosting Stand-up Spotlight. More
8. Rosie O'donnell -- Abc Tv
   Rosie O'Donnell is one of the few celebrities to create a truly successful website, selling advertising, generating free publicity and keeping her fans busy between her gigs. Now the comedian and former TV host is trying to use the site to draw in her longtime obsession, Britney Spears. O'Donnell has admitted "I leave [Spears] stalker-like messages" and said she wants Britney to come live with her; now she's using the "Ask Ro" section of her site to trash the most important people in Britney's life, one by one, in a longshot attempt to lure her into Rosie's waiting arms. She started with Britney's mom and dad, then moved on to Sam Lufti, her recent hanger-on-turned-crutch: more
9. Rosie O'donnell -- Celebrity Detox
   Rosie O'Donnell's new memoir, Celebrity Detox, is, according to Amazon, all about "withdrawing from celebrity life — and the terrifying dangers of relapsing into the spotlight." But apparently whatever plans her Rosiness had for a simpler life have been put on hold. This past weekend, she was down promoting the book at the Miami Book Fair when she let slip to a superfan, Steve Greenberg, who runs a site called Lyingonthebeach.com, that she had just signed a deal for a new TV show, "competing with the guy with the suspenders and the long, long face." The Times subsequently confirmed that Rosie is in talks with MSNBC to replace Dan Abrams in the 9 p.m. slot, opposite Larry King. But why is she eschewing normal life for the spotlight again? On her Website, a quote from Martha Graham suggests that the girl just can't help it:
10. Rosie O'donnell -- Elisabeth Hasselbeck
    Moments ago "The View" co-host Rosie O'Donnell found a golden opportunity to resurrect her conspiracy theories on the collapse of World Trade Center Tower 7 (WTC 7) as her fellow co-hosts were discussing Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign. Co-host Joy Behar faulted Giuliani for keeping the NYC emergency command center in the World Trade Center complex. That's when O'Donnell noted that the command center was in WTC 7. This time around... token non-liberal Elisabeth Hasselbeck pushed back on Rosie's loopy conspiracy theories.
