Rosie O'Donnell Moves to Ireland

Rosie O'Donnell revealed in a TikTok post this week that she's left the United States and won't return until, "... it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America."

"It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know," O'Donnell said in the video. "I encourage everyone to stand up, to use their voice, to protest, to demand that we follow the Constitution in our country and not a king, not a man. We don't have cruelty as part of our governing style."

While O'Donnell's move is drastic, not to mention out of reach financially for most Americans, it's not a new sentiment for the comedian and former talk show host. And it seems like she's adjusting well in the land of rainbows and shamrocks.

"It's been pretty wonderful, I have to say... The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I'm very grateful."

To be honest with you, I don't care where O'Donnell lives, I just want her to keep posting episodes and clips from The Rosie O'Donnell Show on YouTube. The way that show defined my entire personality as a kid. (Let's be real, as an adult too.) I need it. I'm sure the internet connection is fine in Ireland for her to continue uploading stuff. (And if it's not, I'll gladly donate to get her a good internet connection.)

That's it for me today. Keep scrolling for more entertainment news. I'll see you on Friday.

Queen Camilla: Behind The Scenes With a Working Royal

By Jack Royston 

Queen Camilla's limousine stops in front of the crowd of cheering supporters. An aide pulls open the Bentley's armor-plated door, letting in a rush of cold air. It's showtime. Her Majesty, wearing a heavy coat, hat and gloves, exits the vehicle to greet the schoolchildren who have waited outside on the clear, frosty February morning in Middlesbrough, northeast England, to catch a glimpse of their queen. It is just one of a couple of hundred events Camilla will attend this year.

Camilla's journey into royal life has been perhaps the most complicated of any, from her early relationship with King Charles III through his later marriage to Princess Diana and then the gradual move to bring her out of the shadows and into the light.
