She now claims that Musk 'owns the Internet'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.41.124.162 (talk) 18:29, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rosie O’Donnell’s Position in Birth Order

The section of this link for an article highlighted in yellow says that Rosie O’Donnell is a lastborn. Could that article have made a mistake, or does it refer to a different Rosie O’Donnell?

Conflicting Vocabulary

The piece states that she is an, "American talk show host, comedian, and actress."

By definition she can't be both a comedian and actress. She is either a comedian and actor, or she is a comedienne and actress. 2600:382:28B4:1CB8:F90C:B04:EF0:B843 (talk) 20:43, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Daughter’s legal issues

The last paragraph of the ‘Personal Life’ section goes into detail about her daughter’s legal issues. Is this relevant to a biography of her? O’Donnell has no connection to them, as far as I know. Joeldelusional (talk) 16:36, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. BLPN. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs) 18:32, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Daughter's legal issues, unrelated to Rosie, aren't relevant to this article. I'd support removal. Melonkelon (talk) 06:53, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it can be shortened to just mention her conviction, etc. Also she is changing her name and has been cutout of Rosie's estate. [2][3] [4]. Doug Weller talk 08:21, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
