Ready for ‘Rosie Radio’?

O’Donnell (The Spokesman-Review)
From Wire Reports

Rosie O’Donnell is returning to the airwaves.

The former talk show queen will host a daily radio show for Sirius XM Radio Inc. Launching this fall, “Rosie Radio” will feature the 47-year-old comedian-actress discussing news and entertainment as well as chatting with occasional guests.

O’Donnell plans to broadcast her two-hour call-in radio talk show from a studio being built inside the guesthouse on her New York property where she raises four children with partner Kelli Carpenter.

Perez v. Peas, part two

Perez Hilton struck back Wednesday with a civil lawsuit filed against the Black Eyed Peas manager accused of hitting him outside a Toronto nightclub.

The celebrity blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, sued the Peas’ road manager in Los Angeles for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is seeking unspecified damages of more than $25,000.

The suit states Hilton is seeking to protect his rights to free speech and claims Polo Molina attacked him because he made critical comments about the Black Eyed Peas’ new album.

A little too ‘real’

One of the stars of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” has stopped an ex-boyfriend from releasing a sex tape — at least temporarily.

A judge on Wednesday ordered an injunction banning the release of any sexually explicit video or pictures of Danielle Staub and her former boyfriend Stephen Zalewski pending a hearing next month.

Staub, 46, says Zalewski is trying to get back at her because she broke up with him last year.
