The show proved extremely successful, winning multiple Emmy awards, and earning O'Donnell the title of "The Queen of Nice" for her style of light-hearted banter with her guests and interactions with the audience. It was also her interviews with "Superkids", and other notable non-celebrities that brought her critical and public acclaim. On the show, O'Donnell frequently highlighted various charitable projects, often boosting awareness and donations to these causes. The show also became famous for its visits from broadway. The show often featured the casts of any given broadway musical singing and dancing. Disclosure of sexuality Shortly before leaving her talk show, O'Donnell confirmed the rumors about her sexuality when she came out of the closet as a lesbian. Within the gay community this was common knowledge, and the tabloids had been hinting at it.[citation needed] In her January 31, 2002, appearance on the gay-themed sitcom Will & Grace, she played a lesbian character. She claimed various reasons for coming out, including the need for publicity and to put a familiar face to homosexuality, but her primary reason was that as a lesbian adoptive mother (with a long-time lover) she was infuriated that adoption agencies, particularly in Florida, were refusing adoptive rights to able gay parents. She hoped that by coming out, it would increase awareness of this subject. Autobiography In 2002, O'Donnell also published an autobiography entitled Find Me. In addition to cataloging her childhood and early adulthood, the book delved into O'Donnell's relationship with a woman with Multiple Personality Disorder who posed as an under-aged teen who had become pregnant by rape. The book was critically acclaimed and reached number two on the New York Times bestseller list. Relationships and children On February 26, 2004, O'Donnell entered legal union with her partner Kelli Carpenter, a former Nickelodeon marketing executive, in San Francisco, some two weeks after mayor Gavin Newsom authorized the granting of marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Her decision to marry Carpenter came after O'Donnell blasted President Bush over his support for the Federal Marriage Amendment. The license was later voided by the California Supreme Court. The couple are parents to adopted children Parker Jaren (born May 25, 1995), Chelsea Belle (born September 20, 1997), and Blake Christopher (born December 5, 1999). Their fourth child, Vivienne Rose, was born November 29, 2002 to Carpenter, who was conceived through sperm donation. Return to television During the 2006 Daytime Emmy Awards, Barbara Walters announced that O'Donnell would become a co-host on the talk show The View. Gun control advocacy O'Donnell is an outspoken supporter of gun control and a major figure in the Million Mom March. In 1999, O'Donnell interviewed actor Tom Selleck, who was promoting a film. During the promotional interview, in what some critics perceived as an "ambush", O'Donnell confronted him about his stance on guns and his involvement with the NRA, making it an infamously tense TV moment.[5] According to Selleck, the two had agreed not to discuss the topic prior to his appearance on the show. O'Donnell maintains that Selleck and his publicist had been informed that the topic would be discussed. However, she did subsequently say on her show that the interview did not go as she hoped it would. In 2000, O'Donnell outraged parents of kindergartners at the school her son attends when she was granted special permission to allow an armed bodyguard to accompany her son to school. In response, she promised that the bodyguard wouldn't actually be armed while on the school grounds. Critics charged that this was hypocrisy, citing the April 19, 1999, broadcast of her talk show, on which she stated, "You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun, I think you should go to prison." O'Donnell has since regretted making the remarks and has attempted to reconcile her stance by remarking, "I don't personally own a gun." However, O'Donnell's bodyguard has applied for a concealed gun permit, possibly to allow him to carry a gun when accompanying one of her children to public school later this year.[6] "Ching chong" controversy On December 5, 2006, O'Donnell raised controversy when she imitated spoken Chinese by invoking the phrase "ching chong". O'Donnell's remarks were made in reference to the publicity surrounding Danny DeVito's November 29, 2006 appearance on The View. O'Donnell implied that she was amazed that the controversy had become such a prevailing topic,[9] suggesting that the topic was being talked about in China. "You know, you can imagine in China it's like, 'Ching-chong, ching-chong. Danny DeVito. Ching-chong, ching-chong-chong. Drunk. The View. Ching-chong."[10] Donald Trump controversy On December 20, 2006 O'Donnell blasted Donald Trump during the "Hot Topics" segment live on The View. The Day before Trump held a press conference to announce that he had given Miss USA winner Tara Conner a second chance at holding on to her crown. This came after the pageant winner admitted to extensive partying and underage drinking in New York City. O'Donnell claimed that Trump himself is hardly a moral compass, having had two publicly known affairs which both resulted in children. O'Donnell went on to attack Trump's finances, saying that he once went bankrupt. O'Donnell also made a brief impersonation of Trump during the segment branding him a "snake oil salesman" reminiscent of those seen on the television show Little House on the Prairie. O'Donnell's words offended Trump, who lashed back at O'Donnell on several entertainment shows: "Well Rosie is a loser. Rosie’s been a loser for a long time. Her magazine failed. She got sued. She folded up like a tent. It was too bad." "Everything about Rosie, and I watch her — and actually somebody sent me a clip of what she said — Rosie is somebody out of control who really just doesn’t have it. And she ought to be careful cause I’ll send one of my friends to pick up her girlfriend, and I think it would be very easy." "Rosie’s first show had very poor ratings, and at the end she was doing very badly because the public got tired of her, and Rosie is somebody you get tired of. But her show did very poorly. Her magazine, I think it was called Rosie, was a total failure. Rosie is a failure." "Ultimately she will be a loser and you watch. Watch what happens to 'The View.' I will bet the ratings very shortly will start going down. People can’t stand watching her. She’s both unattractive inside and out. She’s got some big problems." "Well you know what, I’m worth $5 billion plus — by a lot. And Rosie said Trump went bankrupt. I never went bankrupt. She’ll say anything that comes to her unattractive mouth. She said I went bankrupt. I’m worth much more than $5 billion." "So she says things that come to her mouth. She’s not smart. She’s crude. She’s ignorant, and to be honest, I look forward to suing Rosie." "I’m going to sue her and I look forward to it." O'Donnell responded by posting portions of Wikipedia's Donald Trump page which discuss his bankruptcy, and answered questions from fans in the "Ask Ro" section of her webpage. It is currently unclear if Donald Trump will follow through with the lawsuit.
