That was only the first surprise. As actress Rita Wilson tells Ladies’ Home Journal: “I told Rosie (that) Parker hadn’t been circumcised, even though she insisted that he had.”
Explained O’Donnell: “I just thought, ‘Wow, it really healed good in two days.”’ After she burst into tears when she realized the mix-up, pal Kate Capshaw arranged to have the circumcision performed the very next day.

Can’t somebody please just pay her to shut up?

A little confession is good for the soul, brother
Mark Fuhrman has agreed to be interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in March, reports Esquire magazine. “He’s a big fan of Oprah’s,” a Fuhrman supporter said, “and he’s truly sorry he said those things and is doing a complete mea culpa.
