Rosie O'Donnell Agrees With NB Headline: She and Helen Thomas are 'Role Models'

March 4th, 2011 5:15 PM

From the Making Mischief Department, NB reader Thomas Stewart sent in a NB link to Rosie O'Donnell's "Ask Ro" feature on Rosie.com. My headline on a February 27 blog post was "Rosie O'Donnell Offers 'Giant Hug' to Helen Thomas: A Summit of Role Models?" When faced with this link, O'Donnell simply answered "yes that is true".

Some think this could mean she was again complimenting Helen as a "role model," as she did when they met up at CNN. But the question was whether this was a "summit" of role models, meaning both women were stellar human beings. 

O'Donnell also said "YES" to the question if she would appear on the CBS clone of "The View" (called "The Talk") to promote her new show in the fall on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
