Rosie O'Donnell to premiere new stand-up show Common Knowledge in Dublin
Actor and comedian Rosie O'Donnell has announced her new stand-up show, Common Knowledge, to premiere in Dublin on June 27. It will be her first stand-up show in almost a decade and will focus on her newly adopted hometown, Dublin. The show is a reflection on O'Donnell's move over the pond, the cultural differences that came with it, her family life and 'the humbling and hilarious realisation that maybe you don't have it all figured out.' Common Knowledge is described as being a 'fresh take from a comedy icon, chock full of sharp insight, big laughs and brilliantly personal storytelling.' In March of this year, O'Donnell was a guest on the Late Late Show, where she talked about her move to Ireland and her public feud with Donald Trump, which has been ongoing since 2006. The now 63-year-old actor has won multiple Emmys for her talk show 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show' and has starred in film classics like Sleepless in Seattle and A League of Their Own. Tickets for her new stand-up show go on sale Friday, June 6, at 10 am here.

Rosie O'Donnell sold NYC penthouse for nearly ‘half its price' when she left US for Ireland
city sale | The comedian's Midtown East home that she bought for $8 million in 2017, was sold for $4.75 million last month Rosie O'Donnell The comedian's Midtown East home that she bought for $8 million in 2017, was sold for $4.75 million last month, according to the New York Post. The penthouse located at 255 E. 49th Street features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a glass-enclosed room with a view of the East River, a sauna and a rooftop deck. The 63-year-old originally listed the penthouse for $8.3 million in early 2023 but later dropped the price. The star who gave up the home before Trump's inauguration in January, had previously said she was motivated to move to keep her non-binary child, Clay, safe. 'I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are,' she explained. 'You know, I'm happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.' O'Donnell, whose grandparents are from Ireland is reportedly in the process of obtaining her citizenship in Ireland. In another video made since her move she said: 'I feel healthier [and] I'm sleeping better without the stress and anxiety over what was happening politically in the country The TV personality who is a parent to kids Parker, 29, Chelsea, 27, Blake, 25 and Vivienne, 22 is to make her comedy debut on a Dublin stage this week. Having starred in films such as Sleepless in Seattle, A League of Their Own and The Flintstones, she has also had her own talk show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, and has appeared in the likes of HBOs Curb Your Enthusiasm and Netflix's Russian Doll. Now, the 62-year-old is performing at a number of Dublin venues this week including the Craic Den Comedy Club in Workman's, The Comedy Cellar at the International Bar, and In Stitches Comedy in Peadar Kearney's pub, according to the Irish Independent.

She took to Instagram to say: 'Tuesday and Wednesday nights this week, I will be trying out some new stand up as I prepare for Edinburgh Fringe Festival - come by and say hello.' According to the Craic Den Comedy Club, 'Rosie is a rockstar comedian with a stand-up career spanning four decades.' A long-time critic of the US President, when Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited Mr Trump ahead of St Patrick's Day, a reporter asked about Ms O'Donnell's move to Ireland in the Oval Office with Mr Trump responding: 'Do you know who she is? You're better off not knowing.' Last month she told CNN's The Situation Room that 'not a day has gone by that I thought it was the wrong decision'. Revealing that she already decided to leave the country if Trump won the presidency, she told CNN: 'And although I was not one of the celebrities who announced that that's what I would do, I made the decision within my family and my therapist should he win.' She said that both her and her son were 'gone before he was inaugurated' and are now both settling into her new life in Ireland. 'We chose Ireland and didn't really know where to go,' O'Donnell told Us Weekly. 'Someone said Dalkey and I found a house online that was in Glengarry. But when the people who were helping us move in went there, there was mould in it.' She said she couldn't move there 'especially with an autistic child who has some allergy issues', and so they ended up in Howth, where they stayed in an Airbnb. Once their time was up there, O'Donnell and Clay officially settled in Dublin and 'couldn't be happier'. 'There's a great, great school there,' she said while discussing her Hulu documentary special Unleashing Hope: The Power of Service Dogs for Children With Autism. 'And Clay has done very well. And they were really welcoming. 'And I love the little town, the little village. It's in the heart of Dublin, but it's still a village where you know the name of the grocer and you know the name of the cashiers. People are unbearably kind in a way that shocks me every single day.'

The Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres feud, explained
Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres are both lesbian comedians with successful acting careers. They've both had major daytime talk shows, and both fled to Europe because of the current political climate, and yet despite how much they have in common, they've been feuding for more than two decades. In a new interview with Us Weekly, O'Donnell is speaking out about the deterioration of her relationship with DeGeneres and what led to the falling out between the former friends who have such a long and shared history. Although there have been years' worth of simmering animosity, O'Donnell said she doesn't have any 'malice' toward her old friend. 'I don't want to fight against another gay woman. It's not like we're tenaciously opposed to each other. We're just very different people. We have had some stuff in the past that we never resolved,' she explained. But how did the feud start, and where do the women stand now? The two women both came up in the stand-up comedy scene at the same time in the '90s so they ran into each other frequently and according to O'Donnell they used to go to parties together with other lesbian celebrities. 'I had known her for years doing stand-up and as young entertainers in Hollywood. Me, Melissa [Etheridge], k.d. [lang] and Ellen, we all would go to parties together,' O'Donnell told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview back in 2023. The League of Their Own actress explained that they were such good friends that right before DeGeneres came out on her sitcom Ellen and then on the cover of Time, she came on The Rosie O'Donnell Show and teased coming out. To support her friend, despite still being in the closet herself, O'Donnell made a lesbian joke on air. 'It was a good relationship. We were friends,' O'Donnell said. 'We supported each other. Which is why when she came on my show, I said, 'Let me not have you standing there by yourself. Let's get a joke in there.' And we sat down and came up with that, 'Oh my God, I love Casey Kasem. Maybe I'm Lebanese.' It became a big thing.' The relationship between the comedians deteriorated when DeGeneres appeared on Larry King Live in 2004 and acted like she and O'Donnell weren't friends. 'She said it on Larry King Live. Larry King said, 'Whatever happened to Rosie O'Donnell's show? She went down the tubes as soon as she came out.' And the quote that Ellen said was, 'I don't know Rosie. We're not friends.' I was watching TV in bed with my wife going, 'Did she just say that?'' The reality of what DeGeneres told Larry King is slightly different: "I don't really know Rosie that well. I mean, I've spoken to her, but we're not really friends," she said. On an episode of Watch What Happens Live in 2022, O'Donnell admitted that she was hurt by DeGeneres snubbing her on Larry King Live. "It hurt my feelings like a baby and I never really got over it," she told host Andy Cohen after relaying the whole saga. O'Donnell also claimed in the interview with THR that DeGeneres hired the staff from her talk show to work on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which started in 2003, shortly after O'Donnell left her own talk show. 'She used the same staff from my show — Jim Paratore, Andy Lassner. So that was odd. It was very similar to my show,' O'Donnell told the publication. "And then I asked to go on because of something I was promoting, and she said no. And I remember going, 'Seriously?' After she said no that one time, whenever they would ask [me to appear] on the show, I would say no." O'Donnell told THR back in 2023 that after she appeared on Watch What Happens Live, she received a text from her old friend apologizing and admitting that she didn't remember saying that to Larry King. But at the time it doesn't sound like O'Donnell was ready to live and let live. 'She wrote, 'I'm really sorry and I don't remember that.' I guess she saw me talk about it on Andy Cohen's show. I remembered it so well, I had T-shirts printed and I gave them to my staff that said 'I don't know Rosie. We're not friends.'' O'Donnell said that at one point the two women were so close that they knew each other's family, but after the feud started, she no longer trusted DeGeneres. 'I have a picture of her holding [my then-infant son] Parker. I know her mother. I could identify her brother without her in the room. I knew her for so many years. It just felt like I don't trust this person to be in my world,' she said. While DeGeneres hasn't spoke publicly about the feud, O'Donnell went into detail about her feelings toward DeGeneres in the new Us Weekly interview. 'I don't want to fight against another gay woman. It's not like we're tenaciously opposed to each other. We're just very different people,' she admitted. 'We have had some stuff in the past that we never resolved. And not in any way as, as partners or lovers or anything like that, just as friends and comedians, but I wish her the best. I seriously do,' she told Us. 'I think that there's enough room in the world for all of the gay comedians, and we all need to stick together because gay people are the next group to be threatened. And the way they attack trans people is absolutely terrifying. If people don't understand that they're a vital part of the LBGTQIA+ community, that's tragic because we protect our own, especially the most vulnerable.'

17 Inappropriate Actor Age Gaps In TV Shows And Movies Between Adult And Child "Couples"
1. Brian Bonsall was only 11 years old when he filmed a literal makeout scene with a grown woman in Disney's Blank Check. He had just turned 12 when the movie came out, and Karen Duffy, the older woman, was just shy of her 32nd birthday. Disney Karen played an undercover FBI agent in the movie, so, like, she definitely should have arrested herself by the end of it. Instead, the characters shared a long "goodbye kiss," which served absolutely no point and easily could have been replaced with a simple hug. Karen was born in May of 1962, and Brian was born in December of 1981. 2. Mila Kunis was only 14 when she lied about her age to get cast on That '70s Show. She was 15 when it came time to film her first-ever kiss, and costar Danny Masterson bet Ashton Kutcher — who was 20 at the time — $10 to French kiss her with tongue. Ashton Kutcher previously spoke about how awkward and inappropriate it was when it came time to shoot their first kissing scene together, saying, "It was really weird. I was like, 'Isn't this illegal? Like, am I allowed?' ... She was 14! She was like my little sister." But a newly resurfaced interview from The Rosie O'Donnell Show revealed that costar Danny Masterson bet Ashton $10 to kiss Mila with tongue. Ashton laughed while telling the story, and Rosie replied, "And then the cops showed up, and you got arrested?" to which Ashton said, "They should have, but they didn't." 3. Keira Knightley was 17 when she filmed Love Actually. She played a married woman in the movie and was 18 when it was released. Her onscreen husband (Chiwetel Ejiofor) was 26, and the home-wrecker (Andrew Lincoln) was 30. Universal Pictures In the movie, Keira had kissing scenes with both actors. She was born in March of 1985, Chiwetel was born in July of 1977, and Andrew was born in September of 1973. 4. Trina McGee was 28, married, and a mom in real life when she first appeared as Angela, a junior in high school, on Boy Meets World. Rider Strong, aka Shawn Hunter, played her love interest, and he was only 17 at the time. Trina McGee recently revealed that she was also six months pregnant while filming the "And Then There Was Shawn" Halloween episode in Season 5. She was born in September of 1969, Rider was born in December of 1979, and their first episode together ("Boy Meets Real World") aired in October of 1997. 5. Taissa Farmiga was 16 when she started filming American Horror Story: Murder House. She had her 17th birthday just a few weeks before the series premiered, and her onscreen love interest, played by Evan Peters, was 24 years old. 6. Hilary Duff filmed A Cinderella Story when she was only 15 years old, and she turned 16 when the movie was released. At that same time, her onscreen boyfriend, Chad Michael Murray, was just shy of his 23rd birthday. 7. Emmy Rossum turned 17 a couple days before production started on The Phantom of the Opera, while the two men who vied for her love, Patrick Wilson and Gerard Butler, were 30 and 33, respectively. Warner Bros. Pictures 8. Frankie Muniz was just 17 when his Malcom in the Middle character started dating Reagan Dale Neis, who was 26 years old at the time. Reagan was born in September of 1976, and Frankie was born in December of 1985. Their characters started dating for the first time in a 2002 episode. 9. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is more than a decade younger than her onscreen boyfriend in Never Have I Ever. She was 17 when she was cast and 18 when the series premiered, and at that same time, Darren Barnet was 29 years old. 10. Danielle Campbell was 14 when she started shooting Disney Channel's Starstruck. Her love interest in the movie, played by Sterling Knight, was 20 years old. The movie came out on Valentine's Day in 2010, two weeks after Danielle Campbell's 15th birthday and only a couple weeks prior to Sterling Knight's 21st birthday. 11. Katherine Heigl was only 14 when she filmed My Father the Hero. She had just turned 15 by the time the movie came out, and her love interest, Dalton James, was just shy of his 23rd birthday. Touchstone Pictures Katherine Heigl was born in November of 1978, and Dalton James was born in March of 1971. 12. Keira Knightley was only 17 when she filmed that kissing scene in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and Orlando Bloom was 25.
