Rosie O’Donnell

Entertainment Weekly reports that multiple sources confirm Rosie O'Donnell is in active talks with NBC to return to television with her own weekly primetime variety show.

Rosie O’Donnell laughed off published reports that she and partner Kelli Carpenter are on the outs.

“We’re hearing that the togetherness of Rosie O’Donnell and Kelli Carpenter, the handsome blonde gal Rosie calls her wife, may not be so together anymore...whatever other difficulties such a breakup might cause, there is also a house full of adopted kids they’re raising,” wrote New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams.

Not so, Ro’s peeps say.

Rosie O'Donnell's negotiations with MSNBC have ended. She just posted the following explanation on her blog:

A few months ago, a Washington state family with two moms was living a great life.

But after nearly 18 years together, one was stricken with a brain aneurysm and died. The family says the way they were treated by a Miami hospital compounded their shock and grief.

The 2007 GLAAD Media Awards were held in New York for the East Coast celebration of the group's 18th annual awards, honoring the positive portrayal of gay and lesbian issues in the media.
