Rosie O’Donnell Is Getting Married — Again

Dec. 6, 2011 7:06am Billy Hallowell

Rosie ODonnell Engaged to Michelle Rounds May Wed Over Christmas

Rosie O’Donnell, the talk show host and comic who sometimes finds herself in the headlines for making some pretty bizarre political comments, is getting ready to the the knot — again. The comedienne and her girlfriend, Michelle Rounds, are engaged.

Rounds, 40, is a headhunter for an information technology company. This will be O’Donnell’s second marriage, as she and her partner Kelli Carpenter wed in San Francisco back in 2004 — just two weeks after the mayor there authorized same-sex marriage. These licenses were later voided by the California Supreme Court.

The Huffington Post has more about Carpenter and O’Donnell’s amicable split:

O’Donnell and Carpenter, who have four children together, divorced in 2007 after three years of marriage. “[The divorce was] Humbling. And humiliating,” O’Donnell told Oprah. “In the O’Donnell family, no one had ever been divorced.”

She explains that the couple’s separate interests contributed to their split: “[Carpenter] wanted to play tennis at the country club, and I don’t do country clubs. I tried. They made an exception for a gay family, and we joined. It was a big thing: ‘They let in a gay family–whoo!’ So I show up to play with her, and somebody comes out and says, ‘You can’t play unless you have tennis whites.’”

The 49-year-old talk show host met Rounds at a Starbucks coffee house earlier this year and the couple made their first public appearance together in September. While the AP is reporting that no wedding date has been set, Daily Mail and US Weekly are claiming that the vows may take place over the Christmas holiday.

Both O’Donnell’s publicist and a spokesman for the Oprah Winfrey Network say the host of “The Rosie Show” told her studio audience about the engagement Monday during a commercial break. O’Donnell, who has had a long career in the entertainment industry, debuted her new show on Oprah’s television network this past September. She tapes in Winfrey’s former Chicago studio.

O’Donnell recently purchased a $2.5 million town home in Chicago.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Isn’t she too fat to be a talk show host? What will the columnists have to say about this?

  They divorced over tennis whites? Sounds like racist discrimination.
  
  I guess no one in the O’Donnell family was as stupid,gross or gay as her as her. Hence dee-vorce.
  I just can’t believe that being the same gender means you have to have the same interests as well to fulfill a commitment of marriage magnitude.

  “Rosie O’Donnell Is Getting Married — Again”
  
  It’s really pitiful that she’s unable to understand that she would be much better off if she woud elect to get CURED instead of married.
  
  Her life is a total failure by having a mental condition that makes her the same as an alcoholic or drug addict, because homosexuals are not born “that way.” They’re not victims of nature. They’re manipulators of nature who are sick. They’re made that way and are too weak to get well.
  
  Her life is a total waste.

  Being a lib-feminist means you have to experience all the benefits of liberalism.
  Divorce, drug rehab, gay lifestyle, now she needs an abortion for the hat trick.
  Then she’ll have lib-cred.

  Homosexuality is learned trait and an addiction, the same as alcohol or drugs. If you do not know that it is because you are ignorant and uneducated.
  
  http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,840542,00.html
  
  Those like you have been tricked into believing homosexuals are born that way and are victims. They are not. Like addicts they enjoy their perverted lifestyles and too often they include children in their relationships which destroys the lives of the children forever.

  “Wow, the homophobia runs deep with you.”
  
  Embeded in every normal organism is a desire to procreate with the opposite gender. It is an instinct of bare survival that assures the perpetuation of the species. Only those organisms that are altered through outside influences are without such an instinct, as in made-made homosexuality.
  
  It is nature that instills in all normal people a natural disgust of anything outside the drive to perpetuate the species. It is embeded deep within most everybody.
  
  If you like, call it homophobia or what have you…. I don’t mind….but the feeling of disgust at same sex unions is implanted in everybody, and same gender pairing is unknown throughout the rest of the animal kingdom.
  
  Have you ever seen two male birds building a nest together?
  
  Homosexuals have not only inundated the psychiatric organizations to suppress the freakishness of homosexuality, they have went nearly berserk flooding the entire landscape with false data that has changed their status into victims, rather than people who are too weak and settled in their ways to want to return to normalcy.

  LibertyLuvingMom – my jaw dropped when I read that comment, also. Here the country club changed the rules so that a gay couple could join, but ROD walked away because she didn’t want to wear tennis whites. For real?? How’s that for shallow? I guess she couldn’t barge her way past that rule and walked off in a snit.
  
  And what kind of commitment was there with her first “partner” if she’d toss that aside over tennis whites? My spouse doesn’t particularly care for classical music, but attends classical concerts with me. I’m not a big fan of sc-fi, but we watch shows because it gives us common ground.
  
  I wonder how long this “marriage” will last? And I wonder how the four kids will feel with a step parent? It’s gonna be interesting for sure.

  Everyone is missing the point here, connect the dots. The Military just allowed sodomy and beastiality, she is getting married again. She met a service woman and they had to legalize beastiality so they could legally get married, a Service Woman and a Dog.

  I was wondering how 2 gay women can have “4 children together.” That’s why the left pushes gay marriage…so there will be no procreation and the population will go down.

I use to love Rosie when she had her talk show in the 90′s I would watch her everyday, she was so funny and non-political. Then Hollywood and Politics destroyed her sense of humor, now she’s just angry and hateful. It makes me sad to see someone go from making people laugh and happy, to making people angry and mean.

  Blaze – your headline is false, Rossie is not getting married again. She and her equally warped gay partner will partake in some sort of evil and fake ceremony, and call it a marriage. By definition, marriage is the union between a man and a woman. This is an imorale union, not a marriage.

The mainstream media can criticize Republicans for being overweight but Rosie O’Donnell gets a free pass. I do not think she should be criticized for being overweight but fair standards by the media would be an improvement, also it seems impossible.
