Donald Trump Rosie ODonnell

In possibly the least surprising political pronouncement of the year, liberal media commentator Rosie O’Donnell has expressed her displeasure at the success that Donald Trump’s presidential nomination campaign has enjoyed so far, describing it as “a nightmare”.

O’Donnell, 53, has publicly clashed with the billionaire White House hopeful on many occasions in the past, and she was asked about his campaign during an interview on Monday night (November 23rd) ahead of her guest appearance in Wednesday night’s ‘Empire’. She bluntly told the Associated Press "it's a nightmare”, before simply saying “that’s my quote”.

Not Enjoying The View: Joy Behar Steps In As The Voice Of Reason After Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Comment


Rosie ODonnell Elisabeth Hasselbeck Joy Behar

Wait, what’s happening over on The View? This is meant to be our relaxing daytime viewing, but recently, after the rumoured appointment of Rosie O’Donnell to the panel, daggers have been flying – in the form or some uncalled for comments.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Hasselbeck wasn't really enjoying the view after O'Donnell's tentative return.

It all started with the tentative plans to bring O’Donnell back to The View. When the announcement was made earlier that week, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a former host of the ABC panel show and current Fox News contributor, interrupted her vacation for the sole purpose of calling in to Fox & Friends with some rather harsh words for her former co-host.

Rosie O'Donnell
O'Donnell will make her long-term comeback to The View this coming fall season.

“The worst kept secret ever is Rosie is returning to the show — it’s definitely happening!” a source tells HollywoodLife.com. “ABC wants to make the big announcement of her return during the TCAs along with the other new members of the cast.”

Hand Over Your...Memory Card! Justin Bieber Sued By Miami Photographer


Justin Bieber Rosie ODonnell

Another week, another Justin-Bieber-doing-something-bad story. This time, a Miami photographer is suing the little blighter claiming he had his bodyguards steal a digital camera memory card. According to TMZ.com, snapper Jeffrey Binion filed a police report on June 5 claiming Bieber's bodyguards attacked him while he was trying to take snaps of Justin outside Miami's Hit Factory recording studio.

Now, Binion says in a lawsuit that Bieber's bodyguard Hugo Hesny threw him against a wall, grabbed his throat and "displayed a gun" holstered under his shirt while some other heavies took the memory card out of his camera. Binion, who says he is a professional photographer and NOT a paparazzo, says he suffered bodily injury, pain and suffering and mental anguish over the attack. His lawyer Russell S. Adler told TMZ.com, "Justin Bieber is now an adult, and he should act like one. He needs to learn that he cannot use bodyguards as weapons to harm innocent people. Bieber's violent behavior toward photographers must end, and he should take responsibility for his actions." He continued, "No amount of fame or fortune justifies Bieber's shameful and outrageous conduct. To send him that message and deter his misbehavior in the future, we will seek punitive damages against him as allowed by Florida law." 

Adler - a high profile lawyer who has previously handed cases for ROSIE O'DONNELL - claims Bieber's heavy Hesney is not licensed to work as bodyguard in the state of Florida, nor does he have a concealed weapons permit. Oh oh.

Michelle Rounds Adopts With Wife Rosie O'Donnell, Daughter Named Dakota


Rosie ODonnell

ROSIE O'DONNELL and her wife Michelle Rounds, who tied the knot last summer, have welcomed their new adopted baby daughter to their home. They have named her Dakota - a name, for which, we must commend O'Donnell and Rounds on, because it isn't entirely ridiculous, bravo. 

O'Donnell announced the news via her Twitter page, with an attached photo of the couple with the baby, wrapped up warm. "we r thrilled to announce the arrival of r daughter Dakota -#withloveandthanks - AMEN", she said.  The photo looks as though it was taken in a hospital and the baby seems to be pretty much a new born, so there's speculation that they had opted to adopted the baby prenatally. 

2012 was a tough year for both O'Donnell and Rounds. Their wedding was timed to be just before Michelle underwent surgery to for her desmoid tumors. That was in June, then in August, O'Donnell had a heart attack. "I will gladly stay home," O'Donnell told People Magazine, after the event. "I want to try to work hard at getting myself healthy, on Mich and I getting started and maybe finding a baby."

Here Comes Rosie O'Donnell To Rescue Honey Boo Boo's House.


Alana Thompson Rosie ODonnell

ROSIE O'DONNELL expressed her adoration of Honey Boo Boo, the pre-teen 'go go juice' addict, a couple of weeks ago when she offered to buy Honey Boo Boo and her family a new house. Having been graciously turned down, O'Donnell hasn't given up in her plight to help the family out, and she has now offered to renovate their existing house instead after Mama June mentioned that it really needed some work doing to it.

O'Donnell originally likened Alana Thompson, aka Honey Boo Boo, to Shirley Temple, and added "She has a presence and an intellect that goes way beyond her years." With the initial offer of an entirely brand new house rejected by HBB's Mama June, O'Donnell agreed to do renovations, saying, with a degree of excitement, "We're in! Are you kidding me? Of course...They do that Extreme Makeover show - hello! I will call David Zaslav [President and CEO of Discovery Communications] when I get home. I will say [the family is] very into an addition, maybe we get Home Depot to chip in, and we make it the Christmas special: Rosie O'Donnell and Honey Boo Boo's Renovation', reported People.

O'Donnell really wants to muck in and help the with the house's renovations personally. Plus, she'd love to meet the family and has praised the show 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' with realism and humanity. "They're taking a family that is supposed to be perceived as 'less than' and showing them [to have] humanity and value," she said. "I don't watch that much TV anymore - some of the shows like the Real Housewives, I never got into that. People are mean to each other. It's not my thing." 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is looking forward to some upcoming specials for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Rosie O'Donnell To Buy Honey Boo Boo A House?


Rosie ODonnell Alana Thompson

7-year-old Honey Boo Boo may have been mocked on a recent episode of South Park, though millions across America appear to have fallen in love with the beauty pageant 'veteran'. Honey and her family are pulling in around 2.2 million viewers every week on their popular reality show, and it appears comedienne ROSIE O'DONNELL is one of those who tune in.

O'Donnell, 50, told People magazine, "I'd love to meet them....and buy them a house." So there you go Honey, if you're looking to put your first payment down on a new home, Rosie's your woman. It seems the television star is a genuine fan of the 7-year-old, saying, "She has a presence and an intellect that goes way beyond her years." Network TLC had previously volunteered to buy Honey and her family a new home, though matriarch June Thompson reportedly refused because the clan's Christmas decorations are a staple of the community in McIntyre, Georgia. It's unlikely that Honey and co require any charity these days anyway - according to the New York Daily News, the family recently got a salary bump from $5,000 to $20,000 per episode of their show 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.'

In South Park's recent episode 'Raising The Bar', Cartman comes to accept that he is obese though rather than resolving to lose weight, he uses a mobility scooter for transportation. His attitude is shamelessly embraced by other obese Americans, including one Alana Thompson, aka, Honey Boo Boo.


Rosie O'Donnell Wants To Buy Honey Boo Boo A House


Rosie ODonnell Alana Thompson

It appears as though comic actress Rosie O’Donnell has a soft spot for Honey Boo Boo, and wants to buy her and her family a house.

There are many things to do after a heart attack; go on that trip you’ve always wanted to go on, see the sights of the world, spend more time with your loved ones, read War And Peace, or even maybe have a little rest. Rosie O’Donnell doesn’t want any of those things, no; she loves Honey Boo Boo and wants to buy her a big old family house. "I love Mama June. I love Sugar Bear. I love Chubbs," she says referring to some of the family members by their nicknames in an interview on People TV "I love 'em all." O Donnell’s tongue in cheek appraisal doesn’t stop there, as she compares the show's 7-year-old star, Alana Thompson to Shirley Temple. "She has a presence and an intellect that goes way beyond her years," she explained, somehow managing not to burst into tears before asserting: "I'd love to meet them, and buy them a house."

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has come under close scrutiny of late, with some claiming that feeding a toddler a concoction of Red Bull and Mountain Dew (affectionately coined Go Go Juice) which is tantamount to two cups of coffee per serving, is wrong. “There are far worse things… I could be giving her alcohol,” her mother explained to Fox News.

Tarzan (1999) Review


Very Good
Tarzan the Ape Man gets the Disney treatment this year. For some classic characters (Snow White, Bambi), the transition has been a positive one. For others (Pocahontas), it's been a disaster. Thankfully, Tarzan is among the former group.

The last time we saw Tarzan, he was saving a Lost City in the worst film of 1998 (shockingly titled Tarzan and the Lost City). The story is a bit more traditional this time, with Tarzan adopted by gorillas after his human parents are killed by a leopard. When he grows up, a group of British explorers stumble upon him, and after the "You Tarzan, me Jane" exchange, the British bad guy, Clayton, decides he's going to take all the gorillas back to Britain for sale. Adventure ensues, along with a love story and singing.

Beautiful Girls Review


Excellent
With a cryptic title like Beautiful Girls, one starts to wonder to whom this film is being marketed. Is it the frat boy model-ogling crowd? Is it a self-help flick for teenage girls? Is it soft porn? The answer, of course, is none of these: Beautiful Girls is a date movie, and quite a good one at that.

Something like The Big Chill meets Generation X, Beautiful Girls is one of those ensemble character movies that really defies description in terms of plot points. The ostensible main character is Willie (Timothy Hutton), who is ambivalent about girlfriend Tracy (Annabeth Gish) so heads back home to Knight's Ridge, Massachusetts to sort things out during his 10-year high school reunion. Here, he hooks up with old pals Tommy (Matt Dillon) and Paul (Michael Rapaport), each of whom is also flailing helplessly in his own romantic mess.
