Very sad. It's hard for any child to lose a parent, especially the way Chelsea Handler lost her mom.

On The Rosie Show this week, Chelsea opened up about the passing of her mom, who lost her battle with cancer in 2005. For possibly the first time ever, fans of Chelsea see her really break down and become vulnerable as she talks about those last days with her mom and the moments they shared together.

Check out the video (above) to see poor Chelsea get very emotional with Rosie and even start to cry.

It's been a rough road, we're sure, but if nothing else, we hope Chelsea knows that her mom would be insanely proud of the person she turned out to be. Insanely proud.

You can't see this dude, but we're giving you a standing ovation.

A guy like Howard Stern, with such a widespread audience and recognizable personality, has a lot of pull in this world. What he says a lot of people hear — and more importantly, listen to. So we were nothing but proud to hear him go off on the homophobes of this country who dare to have problems with the gay community on his radio show Monday morning. From the JcPenney people who are boycotting because of Ellen DeGeneres to the mid-western women who have created a group called "No Homo," Howard doesn't hold back in his distain for them and further, let's people like David Letterman (who recognizably has a problem with Rosie O'Donnell) really have it.

Check out the video (above) to hear King Howard speak reasonably and passionately about supporting the rights and equal treatment of gays.

Thanks, Howie! You're alright in our book!

Whomp, whomp. That's what happens when the ratings just aren't there.

While Rosie O’Donnell is still trying her damnedest to find an audience for her new talk show, hard decisions were made over the weekend to ensure the show will stay on a bit longer on the OWN network.

Thirty employees were reportedly axed last week, making

Sure, they've only just gotten recently engaged, but Rosie O'Donnell is ready to expand her family with fiancee Michelle Rounds.

Michelle is looking to get pregnant and is already starting the family planning process.

Rosie confirmed the news on her show, telling her guest, Dr. Oz:

"She's trying to get pregnant."

Meanwhile, a source adds:

"Michelle is seeing a fertility doctor. She is really excited and they cannot wait to add to their family. Rosie goes to all of her doctors' appointments with her and is really supportive. She isn't pregnant yet but they hope as soon as possible she will be."

SUCH exciting news! We are just over the moon with love and happiness for Rosie and Michelle.

We're keeping our fingers crossed for you gals!

If she's not, it will be a VERY bold and telling move on her part!

It's been nearly six years since Star Jones announced live on The View that she was leaving the show for good, without giving anyone any warning of her departure, least of all Barbara Walters. But bygones seem to be bygones as the big news today is that Star is returning to the show in February.

The former co-host is set to join the ladies to promote the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign, which aims to raise awareness about heart disease in women. As both Star and Barbara both underwent open heart surgery two years ago, it's an issue they both feel strongly about. Perhaps this is the thread that pulled these two back together!

We say, leave the past in the past … but if these two can make nice, anything is possible! Maybe they'll have Rosie O'Donnell on the show and make it a trifecta!

Too much?

Sounds like these two have a cougarrific relationship! LOLz!

Check out a clip from The Rosie Show (above) in which Kathy Griffin talks to Rosie O'Donnell about her new BF, who's 18 years younger than her!

Sure, that's a big age difference, but let's be honest - we've seen worse! Ha!

Do U approve of Kathy's new relationship with her young guy???

This one's for our Broadway worshipers. If you haven't gotten out to New York to see these two live, at least you can relive this moment again and again and again!

Thanks to Rosie O'Donnell, Joel Grey and Sutton Foster took time out of their busy Anything Goes schedule to do a special performance for her new OWN show! Check out the video (above) to watch the pair SLAY their rendition of Friendship!

Isn't Sutton Foster just … AMAZING! Like, she is just so incredible to watch! And Joel Grey! That guy is a LEGEND of the stage! How honored she must feel to get to do this routine every night!

Before Rosie and other celebs came out publicly, many of Hollywood's lesbians were underground.

Rosie stopped by Watch What Happens and dished with Andy Cohen on lifestyles of Hollywood's lesbians.

The talk host spoke on clues she and Ellen gave audiences. She spoke with Ellen before she appeared on Rosie's old show about outting Ellen's character on Ellen's sitcom.

Ellen stated "We find out she's Lebanese. "There have been clues, you see her eating baba ghanoush."

Which Rosie replies:, "Maybe I'm Lebanese. I could be Lebanese myself." She explains the comments.

I didn't want [Ellen] to be out there alone, and we were friendly at the time … She had called me and told me she was going to have her character come out. I said to her, let's play it, lets walk the line … and she said OK. And I think gay people got it, but straight people did not.

Rosie also talks about how underground parties were held for Hollywood's lesbians.

She harkens to days of secret parties featuring Melissa Ethridge, Ellen, and a young Sara Gilbert.
