Rosie O'Donnell Opens Up About Relationships
Rosie O'Donnell talks to Howard Stern on Oprah's gay rumors, her missed chance with Angelina Jolie and her own relationship.
In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Rosie O'Donnell opened up publicly about her relationship troubles with partner Kelli Carpenter. They have been together for 12 years and have four children, and are finding they are making some big decisions about their future.
O'Donnell said on MSNBC "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."
O'Donnell even gave her option about why Oprah Winfrey gay rumors exist. She told msnbc, "I don't know. I think she's never been married and she's exceptionally close to Gayle [King]."
Oprah and King have denied rumors. But Rosie says, "When they did that road trip, that's as gay as it gets. And I don't mean it to be an insult either. I'm just saying, listen, if you ask me, that's the couple."
O'Donnell also told a tale of a chance with Angelina Jolie before Jolie found Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt.
"She ... gave me her phone number and 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."
O'Donnell was promoting her own daily morning Sirius XM talk show, Rosie Radio, which will launch Nov. 2.
