She often has to undergo multiple operations to remove damaged parts of her bowel and takes numerous medicines each day for her condition.

Rosie O'Donnell sends pointed message amid her war of words with Trump
Rosie O'Donnell sent a pointed message after President Donald Trump threatened to revoke her American citizenship. The U.S.-born actress, 63, rocked a 'New York' themed outfit at the London premiere of the Burlesque musical. O'Donnell, who was born in the U.S. but now resides in Ireland, has been embroiled in a recent war of words with Trump, but has long been at odds with him. After Trump said he was seriously considering revoking Rosie's citizenship last week, she set out to fully embrace her American roots in unforgettable fashion on Tuesday. Rosie's paint-splattered grey jacket featured a repetitive 'New York' pattern along with a Big Apple design front and center. Even her trousers were inspired by her birth state. Rosie, who was born in Commack, New York, sported black trousers with 'New York' painted in neon across both legs. On the red carpet, Rosie continued her criticism of Trump as she recommended a list of musicals for him to watch. 'Hamilton, so he can actually learn about our founding fathers, and understand exactly what it means to have the role that he has,' she told Attitude. 'I believe he feels we're in a reality show and he's acting like it's some sort of ridiculous television program. 'Les Misérables. Must my name before I die, be more than just an alibi? Must I lie? How will I ever face my fellow man? How will I ever face myself again? My soul belongs to God, I know I made that bargain long ago. He gave my hope when hope was gone. He gave me strength to carry on. 'And probably the third one would be something like La Cage aux Folles. Just so he could know how wonderful gay people are and stop his ridiculous marginalization of us. And I stand in unison with every gay person all over the world, and especially trans people who are being marginalized by this very abusive government we have now in the United States.' Her appearance comes weeks after the president threatened to revoke Rosie's American citizenship, calling the comedian and longtime critic a 'threat to humanity' in a fiery post on Truth Social. 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Trump, 79, wrote to his Truth Social. 'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!' Under US law, a president cannot revoke the citizenship of an American born in the United States. O'Donnell was born in New York state. She subsequently went scorched earth on Trump with a series of posts claiming Trump was on Jeffrey Epstein's client list and was a guest at the billionaire's infamous island. Over the course of almost a dozen posts the comedian and former chat show host laid into Trump and any association he may have had with Epstein, but some focused squarely on the president himself. 'Thirty-plus years of sexual abuse - The known victims,' O'Donnell posted earlier this month along with a profile shot of Trump and a list of women who have accused him of sexual abuse dating back to the 1980s. Earlier this month Trump said he was considering "taking away" the U.S. citizenship of his longtime rival Another posting showcased a photo montage showcasing Trump meeting Epstein and his convicted sex trafficker girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. In the center was a Truth Social from Trump pleading for people to 'STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!!!'. Other posts designed to irk the president further saw a photoshopped picture of Trump wearing one of his signature red MAGA caps only with the words changed to read: 'I'm on the list' referring to the supposed client list Epstein kept. Earlier this month the White House has said that there is in fact no 'client list,' a narrative that some question. 'Let's not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about,' Trump later wrote on Truth Social, casting the controversy as a ploy to derail his political momentum. One of O'Donnell's messages earlier this month was aimed squarely in response to Trump's suggestion to revoke her citizenship. 'Hey Donald - you're rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours. you call me a threat to humanity - but I'm everything you fear: a loud woman a queer woman. a mother who tells the truth an American who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze,' O'Donnell began. 'You crave loyalty - I teach my children to question power you sell fear on golf courses - I make art about surviving trauma you lie, you steal, you degrade - I nurture, I create, I persist,' she went on. 'You are everything that is wrong with America - and I'm everything you hate about what's still right with it. You want to revoke my citizenship? Go ahead and try, king Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan 'i'm not yours to silence i never was - Rosie.' Responding directly to Trump's threat she wrote how the president opposes her because she 'stands in direct opposition with all he represents.' 'The president of the USA has always hated the fact that i see him for who he is - a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself - this is why i moved to Ireland,' O'Donnell wrote in another posting that day. 'He is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity- i stand in direct opposition all he represents ... ur a bad joke who cant form a coherent sentence.' In other blatant attacks on Trump, O'Donnell posted artwork of the president stating 'He rapes', while in another she posted a tweet stating: 'Damn, I wish Trump would go after the Epstein list pedophiles the way he's going at Rosie O'Donnell rn.' Rosie has continued to share similar content ever since, including posts generally critical of Trump. O'Donnell, a longtime target of Trump's insults and jabs, moved to Ireland earlier this year with her 12-year-old son after the start of the president's second term. She has said she's in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship based on family lineage. O'Donnell, said in a March TikTok video that she would return to the US 'when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America.' Trump's outburst followed O'Donnell's July 7 HuffPost interview, in which she discussed her decades-long feud with him and her 2024 move to Ireland, made ahead of Trump's reelection. Trump's disdain for O'Donnell dates back to 2006 when O'Donnell, a comedian and host on The View at the time, mocked Trump over his handling of a controversy concerning a winner of the Miss USA pageant, which Trump had owned. 'I look at America and I feel overwhelmingly depressed,' O'Donnell, 63, said, citing her need to protect her mental health and care for her 12-year-old son, who has autism. 'I knew what [the Trump administration] was planning to do, because I read Project 2025. I know what he's capable of. And I didn't want to put myself through another four years of him being in charge.' Watching Trump's second term from abroad, O'Donnell added: 'I think it's as bad as everyone worried it would be. I believe fascism has taken a foothold in the United States.' She also criticized a new bill she claims grants Trump his own 'secret police,' with a budget 'greater than the money we give to Israel, which is already unbelievably high.' 'I look at America, and it feels tragic,' she said. 'I feel sad. I feel overwhelmingly depressed. I don't understand how we got here.' During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly brought up O'Donnell, including during the first Republican primary debate in August 2015. When moderator Megyn Kelly questioned his use of terms like 'fat pigs,' 'dogs,' and 'slobs' to describe women, he replied, 'Only Rosie O'Donnell.' Her name eventually resurfaced during a debate with Hillary Clinton, when Trump said, 'Rosie O'Donnell has been very vicious to me. I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody would agree she deserves it.' O'Donnell responded in a now-deleted post on X, calling him an 'orange anus.' After Trump's first election, O'Donnell told W Magazine in October 2017 that she struggled to cope with his presidency, saying it took her a year to regain emotional balance. 'I seriously worry whether I personally will be able to live through [his presidency] and whether the nation will be able to survive,' she said. 'It's a terrifying concept, on the brink of nuclear war with a madman in charge.' Trump's latest jab at O'Donnell seemed to be in response to a TikTok video she posted this month mourning the 119 deaths in the July 4 floods in Texas and blaming Trump's widespread cuts to environmental and science agencies involved in forecasting major natural disasters. 'What a horror story in Texas,' O'Donnell said in the video. 'And you know, when the president guts all the early warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government, these are the results that we're gonna start to see on a daily basis.' The Trump administration, as well as local and state officials, have faced mounting questions over whether more could have been done to protect and warn residents ahead of the Texas flooding, which struck with astonishing speed in the pre-dawn hours of July 4 and killed at least 137, according to Reuters.

HAPs, warriors and power ponies: what to say about the Lionesses
W ell, here we are again. England's women footballers are into the Euro 2025 final, their third consecutive major final, having knocked out Italy in a match that left the nation hiding behind the sofa, well after its bedtime. That followed a quarter-final against Sweden that ended in a penalty shoot-out and during which I chewed my nail varnish clean off. Some things never change in English football, then. But when it comes to the Lionesses there are new faces, more lucrative endorsement deals and weddings to report. At least our Dutch manager, Sarina Wiegman, still wears her trademark white T-shirts. So what do you need to know? Here's your guide to the team before Sunday's match. Chloe Kelly has been a household name since celebrating England's 2022 Euros win in her sports bra. But as recently as January the super-sub was considering giving it all up and in a 'dark place' after being left out of her Manchester City side and at risk of dropping out of the Lionesses due to a lack of regular match play. Thankfully, a successful loan to Arsenal — where the Londoner began her career aged 12 and with whom she signed permanently just three weeks ago — led to her securing her spot at the Euros.
