Bad luck 'O' the Irish: Apostrophe in name could get you thrown off flights in ID mix-up (IrishCentral)
5 November 2009 5:46 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Bill O'Reilly, Rosie O'Donnell and Maureen O'Hara could soon be thrown off U.S. flights under tough new airline rules. The reason? The Transportation Security Administration will soon insist on matching passengers’ boarding passes to their IDs - including any apostrophes hyphen and initials. The problem there is that most computer systems don't recognize apostrophes which means it's Bad Luck O' The Irish for people with an O' in their name - like half the Irish population. Once the new rules are in place, Mary O'Connor won't be flying unless her boarding pass says Mary OConnor. But it won't be Mary's fault. The airline systems can't handle Irish O'Names so they run the last name as OConnor. Which is not the same as the name on Mary's passport or driving licence. Irish Central founder and publisher Niall O'Dowd found this out the hard way when he was trying to book a flight to Atlanta. »
Rosie O'Donnell rises again to haunt Sirius Xm show
4 November 2009 11:02 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
Rosie O'Donnell reminds me of a sexually transmitted disease.
I might have enjoyed my first experience that brought me in contact with her. But she's grown painfully irritating over the years, and I can't seem to get rid of her now. No matter what happens, she just keeps coming back to irritate me further -- leaving me to wonder what ever led me to welcome her irritation in the first place.
When O'Donnell proved too annoying even for The View, and then flamed out on her disastrous one-off variety show, I thought we'd seen the last of her. But it looks like we'll at least "hear" from her again, as she's moved away from the TV talk circuit and taken a gig hosting her own satellite radio talk show on Sirius Xm.

Week in Review: Jon & Hailey, Rosie & Angelina, Taylor & Taylor, Ryan & the Alleged Stalker...
31 October 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Contrary to what the Michael Jackson concert film implies, this will never be it. We're used to mad happenings in Hollywood, which is just a hop, skip and a jump (or a half-hour in L.A. traffic) away from our door. We don't expect them downstairs in the lobby, though! Yet the week was capped off with one of Ryan Seacrest's more frightening fans getting busted on suspicion of felony stalking, literally right under our noses. And we thought we'd heard everything after Rosie O'Donnell said she almost hooked up with Angelina Jolie... 1. As we mentioned, a guy who copped last month to assaulting a Seacrest security escort and later went looking for Ryan at Kiis-fm's Burbank... »
Jane Lynch talks about being butch and hating bras
30 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Michael Musto says it best in his Village Voice interview with Jane Lynch: she's everywhere — and it's a good thing, too. I mean, we can't keep watching her as Joyce Wischnia on our L Word DVDs forever, no matter how great the scene where she proposes to Phyllis in the nude truly is.)
Lynch first popped up on our radar playing the hilarious butch dog handler Christy Cummings in Best in Show, a role that obviously wasn't much of a stretch for her.
Now she's part of the ensemble for Nora and Delia Ephron's Off-Broadway hit, Love, Loss and What I Wore, Musto asks her if she's replacing Rosie O'Donnell, to which Lynch says, "I know they're gonna give me the butch lesbian to play!"
It's because she does it so well, and says she's "very attracted to feminine women."
When asked if she's always been out, Lynch says:

Movies We Love: A League of Their Own
28 October 2009 2:53 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
A League of Their Own (1992) There's no crying in baseball! Synopsis When WWII steals all our base-running-capable men, one junk food magnet has the foresight to realize that women can also pick up a bat and play the game. Jon Lovitz does some "acting!" and recruits a crew of women who will come together to form the four teams of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League including two sisters who form the heart of The Rockford Peaches. While they form the heart, Tom Hanks forms the gut. Why We Love It It is rarer and rarer that a movie like this is even made. I'd even go far to say that they don't make 'em like this anymore, but that would sound cliche, and you'd think I'd be able to come up with something more original. Well, I can't. But the point still stands. Director Penny Marshall has made a movie that's funnier than most comedies and »

Rosie O'Donnell Thinks She and Angelina Jolie Almost Happened

How does one choose between Brad Pitt and Rosie O'Donnell? We're not sure we know (or want to know), but at some point Angelina Jolie was faced with that conflict. At least, according to Rosie. The talk-show icon blabbed to Howard Stern on Sirius Xm radio about a time before she was married to Kelli Carpenter and Angelina had tied the knot with Billy Bob Thornton. A romance, she claimed, was a-bloomin'. "She gave me her phone number," Rosie said. "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through." Fear got the best of Rosie and she wasn't able to seal the deal. "I was a... »

O'Donnell: 'I Could Have Dated Supermodel Nemcova'

Gay movie star and U.S. TV personality Rosie O'Donnell missed the chance to date a supermodel after failing to pick up love signals from Petra Nemcova when the stunner was a guest on her chat show.
The A League of Their Own star, who recently split from her wife Kelli Carpenter, insists she'd never date another celebrity - but she could have hooked up with the Czech beauty.
O'Donnell tells U.S. radio host Howard Stern her staff members made it clear that Nemcova, who has never confessed to being gay, was hitting on her - but the host was too focused on interviewing her to notice.
She says, "You would have to have a neon sign that said 'Rosie, I'm hitting on you' for me to get it... She did give me her phone number and we did talk on the phone a couple of times."
In the same interview, O'Donnell claimed she once almost romanced Angelina Jolie, but was too afraid of the actress to take up her offer of a dinner date.
She revealed, "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through. I was a little afraid of her. She's scary in a sexual kind of way." »

· Your inappropriate worship of young Taylor Lautner's physique is really getting to him. "I don't want to become known as just a body," said the actor. "If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that's not very realistic. I certainly won't be asking to do it, though."

O'Donnell & Jolie Were Almost An Item
27 October 2009 1:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Rosie O'Donnell had a chance to romance Angelina Jolie before the movie star wed Billy Bob Thornton, but she was too afraid to book a dinner date with the actress.
The gay actress and TV personality has revealed Jolie once gave her her telephone number and the odd couple chatted, but the relationship never went any further.
In a radio chat with DJ Howard Stern on Monday, O'Donnell recalled, "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through.
"I was a little afraid of her. She’s scary in a sexual kind of way."
But she has never been able to get Jolie out of her mind: "I have dreams about her a lot still."
The Changeling star reportedly experimented with her sexuality before she wed Thornton - actress/model Jenny Shimizu has often claimed she was involved in a romance with the star a decade ago. »
O'Donnell Opens Up About Love Split On Radio
26 October 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Rosie O'Donnell has spoken out about her split from partner Kelli Carpenter, a week after reports suggested the pair was living apart.
The actress and TV personality appeared on DJ Howard Stern's radio show on Monday to talk candidly about her personal problems, admitting she and Carpenter were "working through a lot of the stuff that we have".
She added, "We have come to a point where we are seeing (if) what will make everyone happiest is maybe to not live together, but continue to parent. We have different styles of living. I’m very messy. She’s very not."
But when Stern pried into the exact cause of the split, O'Donnell insisted the separation had nothing to do with sex, stating, "Kelli and I have a lot of issues and sex wasn't one of them."
Carpenter, who wed O'Donnell in 2004, reportedly moved out of the couple's home with the pair's youngest child.
Last week (ends23Oct09), O'Donnell released a statement about the split, which read, "We're a family, we remain a family and we're working on the issues. Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues.
"Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties. But everything's fine and everybody's good and we're still both raising them (their children) together. We will both continue to parent them and we're friendly and everything's all right." »

O'Donnell also touches on what female celebrities interest her. The former talk show host says that she's currently "enamored" with actress Natasha Lyonne and reveals she had several phone conversations with Angelina Jolie before she was involved with Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt. »
