Rosie O'Donnell Talks Love Woes, Missed Romance With Angelina Jolie

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 27th 2009 08:28AM

In an interview last week, Rosie O'Donnell promised she wasn't going to talk about her assumed split with longtime lover Kelli Carpenter. But that was before she sat down with old pal Howard Stern on Monday, when the former daytime Queen went as far to say the couple was kaput without actually saying it.

O'Donnell told Stern she and Carpenter had "different styles of living" and have "come to a point where we are seeing [if] what will make everyone happiest is maybe to not live together, but continue to parent."

The couple married in San Francisco in 2004 and have three adopted children (Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12, and Blake, 9) as well 6-year-old Vivienne, whom Carpenter carried.

When Stern pressed for more info behind her relationship woes, O'Donnell offered up a dish of TMI: "Kelli and I have a lot of issues and sex wasn't one of them."

O'Donnell told Stern she isn't thinking about dating anyone. "I'm not a trier," she admitted.

In an interview with USA Today a week ago, the former 'The View' moderator said she and Carpenter are "working on our issues" and that "those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever."

The National Enquirer reported in August that Carpenter had moved out their home and into Manhattan.

Since it was becoming clear she wasn't going to fully open up on her woes, Stern steered his convo with O'Donnell to the star's love life before Carpenter. O'Donnell admitted she had a phone fling with Angelina Jolie, before she hit the big time.

"We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through," she said.

"I was a little afraid of her. She's scary in a sexual kind of way."

I have never been able to stomach Rosie O'Donnell -she is total trash! Low class, loud mouth no talent! Where the hell did she come from? And I agree, who supported this no-talent pig? The fact that she had to make a statement that the marriage did not break up because of "sex" is a tell tale sign - that yes - that was the problem! He who protest too much! I've always wondered how Kelli Carpenter could even stand being around this disgusting loud mouth - let alone - sleep with her.........!!!ugh!

Rosie was always the one with the physical demo of love. Kelli never seemed the same to me.

Listened to the interview, Rosie was great! She was honest, a good sport, funny.

She also told a great story about telling Woody Allen to f-off after being offered a role in 'The Sweet Low Down'.

Good grief? Why so much O'Donnell hate? If you don't like her...why comment? People suck.

People who have to knock others' mates are often severely lacking in their own satisifaction of their love lives. Non-perfect people with flaws across the world are loved because they have mates who look past the nonsense of outer beauty (which fades, dumba$$es). That's the beauty of women: we find people attractive for who they are, not how they look.
