Rosie Reveals All to Stern!

  Erroneously written off as a homophobe by some, Howard Stern is actually a supporter of gay performers and gay rights. PlanetOut/Gay.com's Jenny Stewart can attest to that—you may have read her Howard Stern series or even heard her a few times on The Stern Show this past year.

Rosie O'Donnell did his show this week, which was a shocker to some, given their less-than-friendly history.  But it turns out that Howard and Rosie really like each other. And it was definitely the single most revealing interview Rosie's ever done...

As they chatted, Howard got Rosie to dish about everything from how old she was when she first had sex to whether she has ever thought about a celebrity while masturbating.

She was 21 when she first had sex, by the way, and she first did the deed with… a guy! What?

As for the celebrity Rosie thinks about when she is masturbating, you'd better be sitting down for this one… it is Matthew McConaughey!

Hey, that's the guy we think about when we masturbate! Who knew we had this in common with Rosie?

More highlights from the conversation:

• Rosie confessed she was a "late bloomer" when it came to sex and has had nine partners over the years. She lived with a man from the time she was 28 until she turned 30. "I lived with a guy for two years, and it was great," the celebrity lesbian said, noting that "you can have great sex with anybody."
• When asked what celebrities she would have sex with, Rosie revealed that she fantasizes about Angelina Jolie, whom she described as having the perfect combination of "darkness and quirky, weird sexuality." She also included Angela Bassett on the list of celebs she would get busy with as well as Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Diane Lane and Mariska Hargitay.
• Madonna is not and has never been a lesbian, Rosie insisted, despite her penchant for kissing young girls on stage. "She enjoys her men," Rosie said of her famous friend, stressing that Madonna is very sexual, which doesn't come as a surprise to us! "She has a wonderfully powerful male sexuality in that beautiful female package," Rosie said. "I remember during A League of Their Own [the two women met while shooting the film] she'd see a guy she thought was hot in a magazine—three days later he'd be on the set."
• Howard also got Rosie to play the "Fuck, marry, kill game," limiting her choices to the women from The View. Who would would you fuck? Who would you marry, and who would you kill? Rosie "would do Barbara. It would be over quick," she said. "I'm kidding. No, I don't think I'd play fuck, marry, kill with them. I'd fuck, marry and kill myself so I didn't have to play with them."
• When Howard asked Rosie if she watches porn, Rosie said that she and her wife Kelly do indeed, but they prefer porn featuring men. What? When Rosie watches porn with women in it, she looks at them "and feels the same way I do about Linsday and Britney. I'm like, 'Oh geez, what happened to her?"  "If you get the one with all boys, you can physically tell they're enjoying themselves," Rosie added.  Hmm...is Rosie saying she watches gay men's porn?
• Would Rosie shave her nether regions if a female partner wanted her to? Yup, Stern asked. "Never. Are you kidding me? The ingrown hairs!" Rosie said, recalling the bikini wax she had when she played a dominatrix in Exit to Eden. "Oh dear God, it was like torture!"
• Rosie said the lesbians she knows don't shave down there. She does trim, she noted.
• Rosie also talked about what inspired her to tie the knot with her long-time partner Kelly. Turns out President George Bush was her inspiration. When he had a press conference in the midst of the Iraq war to announce that San Francisco's decision to allow gay marriage was ruining the moral fiber of the country, that was the final straw for Rosie who was "so fucking mad! I was like, 'You know what, Kelly. Let's get on a plane and get married!"

Oh, and I should mention that Rosie was on The Stern Show to promote her guest role in Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Tour, which supports LGBT equality.

A great cause and a great interview -- you can listen to it in it's entirety below.

too much information

[Jason]

No kidding... I love Matthew McConaughey!

[Dale]

Fascinating, in much the same way a bus crash is fascinating. Why does this odious cow (O'Donnell) get any ink from the media? 20 years ago, she was a pretty good standup comedian. Now it seems all you need to be a celebrity is mediocrity - as long as it's very loud and very abrasive. Enought already with this worthless bitch.

[Greg of San Diego]

This is just great.... NOT! So much for my Matthew McConaughey fantasy. Rosie ruins everything. Here activism is somewhat admirable. But, we need a better role model or representative. She killed her career @ the view. Hopefully, this will be the last we have to hear about her. Unless they show her carried off in a staight jacket.

[Jim]

Rosis is a hideous, obnoxious fat cow. Her history of treating people like shit, particularly her own staff, is well known and symptomatic of what an egomaniacal, self-righteous bitch she is. Her laughable dabbling with 9/11 trutherism revealed that she is an intellectual midget and a laughingstock. The only good thing this load ever did was "Riding the Bus With My Sister" because she didn't have to reach far to find that character within her - a ranting, raving, retarded fool.

[Tim]

Lay off Rosie! --Your comments about her are ludicrous. She sticks up for what she believes in. I'm sorry u all lack the insight to see what a caring individual she really is. Her stance about gay rights regarding parenting should speak volumes. Your remarks are hurtful and unsubstantiated. Please from now on keep your harsh judgements to yourself!

[Tim of Northern Michigan]

And another thing your comment about her performance on "Riding The Bus With My Sister", is quite disarming! How dare u malign people with learning disabilites. It's one thing to attack Rosie, it's a whole different ball game
when u start attacking mentally deficient individuals. I have volunteered with area Special Olympics, and they r the most loving and happy people I've ever met! Shame on u Jim!

[nathan in san diego]

lay off rosie, she is an icon, and the truth, shes ballsy in your face and unapolagetic, some people find that unbecoming, but i find it liberating, howard stern is an act for the media and ratings,he does like gay people, he sells str8 male fantasies........2008 people... wake the fuck up

[Joe]

Shocked to see all this negativity surrounding somebody who is on our side here. Completely unwarranted and inappropriate. No one should be described with the words that are being used to describe this nearly 50 year old mother. Get your head out of your ass and listen to what the 'intellectual midget' is saying - she's a lot smarter than you and a hell of a lot more successful. queens on the rag man... you guys are brutal.

My issue with Rosie is her abrasiveness. She is the type of person who allows you to think what you want to think and have your own beliefs, as long as they match hers. Anyone who differs from her in any way is a brain-dead, evil, hick, who needs to be "educated" to her "correct" way.

I think they got a lot about her character right in the Trapper Keeper episode of South Park. "People like you preach tolerance and open-mindedness all the time, but when it comes to middle America, you think we're all evil and stupid country yokels who need your political enlightenment. Just because you're on TV doesn't mean you know [expletive] about the government."

You can't be open-minded if you immediately assume somebody who holds a different opinion than you is stupid and wrong.

[Dan]

Rosie is a loud-mouth. But that's what I love about her. She's not afraid to say what she thinks, she's a defender and participant in the gay community and she's raw. On the other hand, I wish Robin would shut up and let Howard conduct the interview. Her questions are predictable and boring. Keep on keepin' on Rosie!

[Splash]

At least Rosie believes in something and goes out there--sometimes too far out--but at least she doesn't live in her little bubble that forgets there's a big world out there and it needs everyone one of us to act up.

[hateration]

For real, Rosie is fat, what right does she have to enjoy life...you people have it all figured out, don't you? I wish I saw what you saw when I looked in the mirror so that I, too, could say a fat person should go away. And no, I'm not fat, nowhere near but my gosh, show some intelligence. If you are going to down somebody, let it be with some merit, not something as half-witted as calling her a fat cow. Remember, you think you're better than her, you should represent that accordingly. Shallow idiots suck.

[hateration]

Jim up there, you crossed the line big time. I don't really know who you think you are but you just made yourself appear far more clueless than you accuse Rosie of being. Couldn't you have expressed your opinion and disagreed without attacking people who cannot help the way they are and calling her names? Surely you know the difference between being tactful and just plain tacky, don't you? Why should ANYBODY least of all, Rosie, give a rat's ass what you have to say? Are you really Perez Hilton?

[Taylor]

I think it's great that Madonna could order a hot sexy guy from a magazine she read to appear on the set (or wherever) for her fun whenever she feels like it. Lucky her.

[Lezzie Linda]

Hey - I LOVE gay male porn! You go Rosie!

[Lorrie]

With all her money I wish she'd buy a book or two about the world. Still clueless and after reading this I see she's still classless too.
