Writing about Ellen DeGeneres and the success of her daytime show earlier today led me to wonder how that force of nature, Rosie O'Donnell, will fare when she joins the women of "The View" this fall. Will the liberal Rosie and the conversative Elizabeth Hasellbeck be able to get through "hot topics" without killing each other? Will Rosie and Joy Behar be knocking each other down for laughs? Will Barbara Walters wish she'd have hired Hugh Downs instead?

Tune in this fall!

Seriously, it is fantastic to have two of the world's most high-profile lesbians hosting shows in daytime. The world, and Rosie, have changed a lot since she debuted 10 years ago as "The Queen of Nice" on her own show which had a successful six year run. Since she pulled the plug on the show in 2002, Rosie has become very public about her private life, a life she shares with her partner Kelli O'Donnell and their children. The couple flew from the East Coast to get married in San Francisco in 2004 when the city was briefly granting licences to same-sex couples. They also recently made the documentary "All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise" on the maiden cruise of R Family Vacations, a travel company the couple founded.

I think it will be GREAT to have Rosie back in our lives on a daily basis. I have a feeling her thoughts will make headlines and will often find themselves posted on "Out In Hollywood."
