Rosie O’Donnell gushed about her bride-to-be Michelle Rounds and their upcoming wedding.  Rosie always keeps it real:

“She’s like Ann-Margret.  I constantly go, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ ”

“I’m not a Barbie. She has Mattel stamped on her a**.  She’s literally perfection.”

“She’s so unbelievably connected and refined.  I so love her embracing her femininity in a real feminist manner. To be able to be a lesbian, feminine, feminist is pretty sexy.”

Her kids are excited about the upcoming nuptials:

“They want to be in it. They want to be in tuxedos and dresses and do the whole thing. They’re really excited!”

Rosie says of the planning portion:

“It’s kind of weird, like we met with some swanky-ass people,”

You gotta love Rosie.  No matter how rich she is, she just says it like it is.

Heading back to the air in a brand new setting, Rosie O’Donnell will be heard and not seen. The familiar TV face is launching her own daily, two-hour show for Sirius XM Radio this fall, to be called – what else? – Rosie Radio.

O’Donnell says that the deal came through after she yakked on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM show earlier this year.

“He’s been very encouraging,” O’Donnell, 47, said about the shock jock, the Associated Press reports. “After I did his show, they called and asked if I was interested. I don’t really listen to radio, so I started thinking about it and listening. I asked if they could possibly do it at my house because that would really make it convenient for me with four kids, and they said yes, so I was like, ‘Wow. Let’s try that.’ ”

Essentially off the air as far as a regular gig was concerned after her headline-making departure from ABC’s The View in 2007, O’Donnell will host her new show from a recording facility currently under construction inside the guesthouse on the New York property she shares with partner Kelli Carpenter and their four children.
