Rosie says; “I don’t know. I think she’s never been married and she’s exceptionally close to Gayle [King],” Rosie, who was promoting her own Sirius XM show, “Rosie Radio,” which stars next Monday, said. “I don’t know that she and Gayle are necessarily doing each other but I think they are the emotional equivalent of “A gay couple,”"When they did that road trip, that’s as gay as it gets,” Rosie said. “And I don’t mean it to be an insult either. I’m just saying, listen, if you ask me, that’s the couple.”
Oprah and Gayle have long denied the rumors.
Rosie also spoke openly about her relationship with long time partner of 12 years Kelli.
“We’re working things out,” Rosie said. Rosie told Howard. “We have different styles of living. I’m very messy. She’s very not.”
“I don’t know that we’re going to be together,” she said. “I think we’re working through what’s best for all of us.”
Rosie also went on to say that before Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt,she had a chance to hook up with Angelina Jolie.
Rosie said; She gave me her phone number and we talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that,” Rosie revealed.
“There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through,” Rosie added. “I was a little afraid of her. She’s scary in a sexual kind of way. I have dreams about her a lot still.”

Chris Brown says in a statement to MTV News, “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us.”
Chris Brown
In the Diane Sawyer interview, Rihanna said that Brown, 20, put her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers. “He had no soul in his eyes,” Rihanna, 21, told Sawyer. “He was clearly blacked out.”
And the singer — whose new album Rated R drops later this month — explained why she is speaking so publicly. “I knew I had to do this in order to move on for me and in order for my fans to move on . . . I don’t want that five years from now every time they see Rihanna, they think of Chris Brown beating me. That’s not who I am.”
She also wishes her ex well in the interview.

In his statement today, Brown continued, “I do appreciate [Rihanna's] support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions . . . Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”
Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, six months of community service and one year of domestic violence counseling.
Rihanna sat down with Diane Sawyer on ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday in her first TV interview since she was assaulted by Chris Brown (the entire interview airs Friday on 20/20). “So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.”
Rihanna
Rihanna says it was “humiliating” and “traumatizing” to admit the incident happened and that it was “wrong” of her to take Brown back.
“So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.”
During the interview, she confirmed that Brown, 20, held her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers the night before the Grammys.
“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” Rihanna said. “But again … I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I’m not perfect.”
But the 21 year-old said she was motivated to leave Brown by the knowledge that young girls look up to her.
“When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result into some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part,” she said in the interview.
“I couldn’t be held responsible for telling them, ‘Go back.’ Chris, even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say that their boyfriend won’t,” she said.
Rihanna – who drops a new album, Rated R, Nov. 23 – said she wanted to speak out now to help others who may be in a similar situation.
Oprah Winfrey is removing gospel singer BeBe Winans from her show’s “karaoke challenge” until charges against him for allegedly pushing his ex-wife to the ground are resolved.
Oprah
Winans appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” last week and was seen in promos for future appearances. Now he’ll be cut out of the segment, said Winfrey spokesman Don Halcombe on Thursday.
Winfrey was criticized by some bloggers this week for including Winans after she had taken a strong stand against domestic violence earlier this year. She did a show on the topic when singer Chris Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Winfrey was criticized by some bloggers this week for including Winans after she had taken a strong stand against domestic violence earlier this year. She did a show on the topic when singer Chris Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
The daytime TV leader said at the time: “Domestic violence is something that I wouldn’t tolerate. Period.”
It was not clear if Winfrey had been aware that Winans was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault in the Feb. 13 incident, where Winans and his ex-wife Debra were allegedly arguing about their children. Winans has a court date set for Jan. 20.
Many wonderd if Winfrey had overlooked the charges because the Winans were friends or because there were no photos that had become public as in Rihanna’s case.
Glamour has named singer Rihanna one of their 2009 Women of the Year in there December 2009 issue — and now she’s speaking out to the magazine for the first time about the Chris Brown incident and the message she wants to send out to young women everywhere.

“It taught me so much,” she says of being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend and the aftermath that followed. “I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, What, there are helicopters circling my house? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can’t go back home?”
Making the media circus even worse was the fact that photos of her badly bruised face circulated on the Internet.
“That is not a photo you would show to anybody,” she says. “I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.”

Venus Models Online was at the 2006 Sema Show in Las Vegas when superstar Jay Leno showed off his EcoJet mid-engine turbine coupe with General Motors, Ed Welburn, and Frank Saucedo, who heads the automaker’s west coast studio, penned the design concept.
EcoJet
Leno has both a motorcycle and a pickup truck powered by “jet” turbine engines, so the plan was to create an automobile that would run on a similar powerplant fueled by biodiesel.
The EcoJet was initially a static exhibit, but one thing about Jay’s Garage is that everything runs. So Jim Hall, Bernard Juchli and the other wizards in the Burbank shop set about to turn the EcoJet from a barely rolling display into a complete running automobile.
It was a challenge to turn a static show car into a running automobile. Problems like mating the electronics of the turbine to those of the gearbox and then creating a dashboard display so Leno can monitor functions when driving.
Jay Leno with his Echo Jet
Now the EcoJet is a runner…like 150-plus mph in one test. We had a chance to spend a day with Leno and the jet machine and can confirm it is impressive.
The EcoJet is without a doubt eye catching and is cruising and is cruising it looks like something from star wars or the Jetsons.
