Rosie O'Donnell Tells Switched All...About the iPhone!

It's safe to say that Rosie O'Donnell has done it all, from stand-up and comedy movies to talk shows and even a video blog (that she actually updates regularly). She's also involved in R Family Vacations, a cruise line aimed at gay and lesbian families, which was designed to let the kids of gay and lesbian parents meet other kids from similar families. This year, Rosie and her partner, Kelli O'Donnell, who have four kids, will once again be part of the entertainment on board, along with other celebrities including Cyndi Lauper and Sam Harris. The parental pair took a few minutes to answer our Switched Questionnaire, and it turns out they're pretty stacked in the mobile phone department. To find out more, read on....
What gadgets do you always bring with you to the set (for down-time)?
Rosie: We always have our Nextel cell phone plus an iPhone when I travel.
What cell phone do you have right now and what do you love/hate about it?
Rosie: We have a Nextel phone because we love using the two-way radio service with the family. It's easy for the kids to use, plus it seems to work many times when regular cell service does not.
Kelli: I also have an iPhone that I have become addicted to. There are so many cool aspects to it that I have not even figured out completely.
Who's the last person you sent a text message to and what was it about?
Rosie: We sent a text to our oldest son before he was beginning his swim meet race to wish him good luck.
Where do you go (site or service) pretty much every time you get online?
Rosie: We frequently go to The Drudge Report and the Huffington Post almost every time we're online.
What annoys you most about your iPod, cell phone, or laptop (or any other gadget)?
Kelli: I wish that my iPhone had the two-way radio service so I did not have to bring both gadgets with me. Other than that, I am constantly amazed at how far technology has come and have very few complaints.
Name one thing you wish your iPod/cellphone/laptop (any gadget) could do that it doesn't do now?
Rosie: I wish that you could iChat from your iPhone -- wouldn't that be cool?!?!
What upcoming gadget can you not wait to get your hands on?
Rosie: There are no new items that I can think of. I feel content with what I have.
You're stranded on a desert island: What gadget do you bring?
Rosie/Kelli: I would bring my iPhone. You can do just about anything -- from e-mailing and surfing the 'Net to listening to music, watching movies, and taking photos -- on it. What more do you need? Well, besides someone to share it with on the island!!!!
What's the most-played song or artist on your iPod?
We love Broadway show tunes, but we also love Annie Lennox, Robbie Williams, and a number of '80s tunes that make us feel young again!
What's the longest time you've ever spent playing a video game in one sitting and what game was it?
Rosie: We don't play video games.
"Do you use/have a Mac or PC? Why?"
Kelli: I have a PC 'cause it makes the most sense with how my brain works.

I grew up a few miles from Rosie O'Donnell in Long Island. I consider her worthless trash, just like my nephews from Coram, a few miles away.

I think Rosie sucks. She is a FAT, UGLY, BIOTCH and is just looking for attention.

I think Bob and Becky are cranky haters on a lovely Thursday morning, and Rosie and Kelli have a life to lead, were asked to answer some questions and did so. Who asked you 2 joyous lovebirds to read the blog? Hello?

Trying to humanize Rosie.... it's too little, too late...
Her mouth has made it so that pretty much no one cares what "gadgets" she carries or what she likes...
Rosie, go call someone who really cares...
I certainly don't ...and by the way, what does that other girl see in her??
oh wait.. $$$$ ok, I get it.

I love Rosie. *Raspberries* to all the haters. Such senseless negativity you allow to consume yourselves. I'm actually sad for you. I hope you find more wisdom and compassion in the world than you're expressing from yourselves.

I wish you would stop showing and doing articles on Rosie O...She is discusting and I just can not stand her and the only reason I clicked on this link was to voice my opinion. I wish she would just go away. I will never read or watch anything that has to do with Discustin Rosie!...

I think it is interesting that all these people trashing Rosie are reading about her. There is so much hate in this world, why be a part of spreading it further. We are all human beings. I do not agree with Rosie and Kelly's lifestyle but I also do not hate them for it. There are much worse people in this world than Rosie. Give me a break.

Why are people so full of hate and so quick to judge. I'm not a fan of hers, but I can't imagine what could cause such meanness in most of you. Are you a young group of folks with little wisdom and less maturity who choose to appear in blogs? Or has the whole world gotten a little meaner. It's a mystery to me. I'm from the generation that thinks Love is the answer to everything. Try it for a change.

If you're on a deserted island, no doubt that you couldn't use your phone=no towers!! try driving in the California desert, no towers in some places. When you buy a phone, be sure you ask if their company has towers where you're going to visit etc.

Interesting how threatening Rosie is to all of you Rosie-haters. I guess it's scary to be confronted with TRUTH. She's brave enough to say what she thinks .. and you're afraid to hear it? I guess that's it. Keep it up Rosie. I want to hear it.

Im glad you asked her I for one like her and Kelli, If you do not have something nice to say than do not say it. Did your mother or father teach you any manors. Funny how all of you came to read this about Rosie
