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 am sure it's all my fault that rosie turned out the way she did. If I only could make her feel better. I plan on putting her in my fave 5's.

I AM NOT A ROSIE FAN AND I WISH SHE WOULD GO AWAY!!!
not shirleyDec 27th 2007 1:05PM
Shirley, do you really think we care about fat ugly men haters like yourself and rosie? Try going to the store and loading up on some more fat crap and batteries for the holidays. Peolpe like you make it difficult for normal people to have live.
Also it takes one to know one if you know what I mean.
Brent O PoplinDec 27th 2007 1:06PM
I would have thought her favorite gadget is an industrial sized vibrator.
JeanaeDec 27th 2007 1:10PM
Hey Rosie miss you..The View is so dull without you. I hope you get another talk show. You have so much talent.
Good luck with whatever You decide to do.
God Bless
Love Jeanae from Mass.....

Rosie is who she is and as a citizen and human being who has worked hard to get where she is, she has a right to say and do whatever she wants as long as it is legal. It is what it is, so deal with it.

THAT IS ONE FUGLY WOMAN IF IT IS A WOMAN.

OINK! OINK! OINK!

Who cares what sick, sinful lesbians like or don't like? I don't like AOL sticking Ellen and others like her in front of our faces! Period!

You know what, I really dont think I want to know anything about what gadget Rosie likes. Makes me shudder. UGH.....
josephineDec 27th 2007 1:27PM

You can always tell a right winger--by the hate they spew--they get a lot of it from faux news and the likes of Limbaugh--now there's a hater! BUT--they are the Christians, don't cha know--ya right! I like Rosie and the fact that she isn't afraid of people like you haters--drives you nuts, doesn't it?
Michele BeaverDec 27th 2007 1:56PM
I used to like Rosie, but now she has an "attitude" problem and needs to lose weight. I'm sure she can afford to go to one of those fancy weight loss clinics or go on the South Beach diet, or get paid by Weight Watchers to lose weight. It's not just how she looks, it's bad on the health also, as we all know.
Saundra GordonDec 27th 2007 2:03PM
Christians are NOT as negative as Jenn and others may think. We love people, but hate sin. We not only have that right, but according to our life's manual (the Bible), we should always seek to uphold purity. The gay lifestyle truly thumbs its nose at God! It has always, and will always, be wrong! Period!

Anyone who thinks President Bush was behind 911;
( just think how many people would have been involved ) how stupid could anyone be and Rosie believes this. Why doesn't she get her fat ass out of the U.S.A. and go somewhere else on this or another planet. She is a trator to the U.S.A. and to God. What a scam artist she is. I can't stand looking or reading about her. I just had to respond!!!!! She should wish for a new brain for the future in gadgets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you keep putting this woman on the page? She isa disgrace to the female race.

Female isn't a race, dumbass, it's a gender.

And yet, you took the time to read the article and actually post. Astonishing. Reminder: Jesus Loves Everyone, even hateful people like you. Heal thyself.

Rosie is disgusting.
BarbaraJan 4th 2008 5:37PM
I think Rosie is G-R-E-A-T! she has a wonderful sense of humor, is very generous, very talented, is a great Mother & life partner. Those of you who don't agree......TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN LIFE. Are you all doing the best you can? Don't be so quick to judge others. This world would be a better place if people were more tolerant!! We are not all alike....and what is wrong with that!! Rose is a GOOD PERSON...and we are very lucky to have her among us!!
