After a 2012 that had them both dealing with serious health issues, Rosie O'Donnell and wife Michelle Rounds have started 2013 with some good news: a newborn baby.

The couple announced via Twitter on Wednesday (9 January) that they are parents: 'we r thrilled to announce the arrival of r daughter Dakota – #withloveandthanks – AMEN.'

Dakota was born last Saturday (5 January) weighing in at 5 pounds, 5 ounces. O'Donnell's spokesperson says 'Moms and baby are happy and healthy.'

Do you ever wonder what Donald Trump would sound like if he were hurling his many Twitter insults to such celebrities as Cher, Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones verbally instead of typing them in 140 characters or less?

Wonder no more!

Bravo executive Andy Cohen, host of the network's Watch What Happens Live and the Real Housewives reunion specials, guested on The Wendy Williams Show and debuted a hilarious Trump impersonation.

Rosie O'Donnell is back to work following a bad stretch that included a heart attack, wife Michelle Rounds bout with a rare disease and severe damage to her New York home from Hurricane Sandy.

The star tweeted a photo of herself, in costume, from the Toronto set of Bomb Girls on Wednesday (7 November). The television series is about women working in factories during the Second World War.

It's been a rough year for Rosie O'Donnell.

She survived a heart attack and wife Michele Rounds underwent surgery for desmoid tumors which is a rare disease that only affects three out of every million people.

Then came Hurricane Sandy.

The storm, which caused severe damage in areas of New York and New Jersey and caused nearly 100 deaths, damaged O'Donnell's home near the Hudson River.

The 50-year-old star tweeted that there has been damage to the dock and that her craft house had been flooded.

Rosie O'Donnell says the 'stupidest' decision she ever made in her life was not calling for emergency help when she feared she might be having a heart attack last August.

It turns out she was having one - the kind that usually kills people. Somehow she survived despite an artery being 99 percent blocked.

Rosie O'Donnell says after she found out she had had a heart attack, she started crying.

'I almost died - and that's not an over-exaggeration. That's a fact,' she tells People magazine.

O'Donnell shared on her blog on 20 August that she suffered a heart attack the week before shortly after she encountered 'an enormous woman' in a New York parking lot who had gotten stuck as she struggled to get out of her car.

Rosie O'Donnell is a married woman.

The actress and talk show host revealed Monday (27 August) that she and Michelle Rounds were secretly wed back in June before Rounds underwent surgery for desmoid tumors which is a rare disease that only affects three out of every million people.

'We married in private before [Michelle's] surgery, just the [two] of us,' O'Donnell writes on her blog. 'When we r both well enough will have the wedding of r dreams surrounded by those we cherish.'

A day after she revealed publicly that she had suffered a heart attack last week, Rosie O'Donnell reached out on Twitter Tuesday (21 August) to express her gratitude.

'Good morning all - thanks for all the good wishes!!!' she tweeted. O'Donnell also described herself as 'happy' and 'grateful.'

She shared that she spent the day 'listening to Barry Manilow - painting - feeling good.'

Just a month after her 95th birthday,  legendary comic Phyllis Diller died on Monday (20 August) at home in Los Angeles surrounded by her family.

Diller began working as a stand-up comic in the 1950s and is credited with paving the way for the likes of Joan Rivers, Roseanne Barr and Margaret Cho, among others.

Diller had a gay following from the beginning.

'My first audience were gay people because they have a great sense of humor,' she once said. 'They love comedy and they love to laugh. How do you think they got the word gay put on them?'

Rosie O'Donnell shared on her blog today (20 August) that she suffered a heart attack last week and is 'happy to be alive.'

The 50-year-old actress and talk show host said the attack occurred last week shortly after she encountered 'an enormous woman' in a New York parking lot who had gotten stuck as she struggled to get out of her car.

Cher sung she wanted to turn back time, but Gay Star News thinks it would be much more fun to jump into the future and see how the years have treated today’s gay celebrities.

While the Living Proof singer may have had a little help from her plastic surgery friends, GSN believes in a future where the stars age the way God intended.

When Rosie O'Donnell signed on to do a nightly talk show of the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) last year, she relocated to Chicago where the show was taped and bought a Lakeview home for $2.5 million.

But unlike her previous television successes, The Rosie Show was canceled earlier this year after just six months on the air and Rosie headed back home to her native New York.
