Before Josh Peck was doing sketch comedies, like The Amanda Show, he was doing standup on The Rosie O’Donnell Show. How precious was the 10-year-old in that 1996 episode? So precious that, after watching this, you can see why he was in such high demand as a child actor.
In 1992, people were flocking to the theaters to see A League of Their Own, a biopic about the Rockford Peaches, a female baseball team during World War II.
Over the weekend, fans were flocking to see Rosie O’Donnell, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Bitty Schram, Megan Cavanagh, Tracy Reiner, Anne Ramsay, Freddie Simpson, Patti Pelton, Connie Pounds-Taylor, and Kelli Simpkins at Chicago’s Donald Stephens Convention Center for the Chicago Sports Spectacular.
Seeing them together is giving me tears of joy. Because, as we all know, there are no tears in baseball.
It has been a rough year for Rosie O’Donnell, she split with her second wife, quit her job at The View and today she announced that her 17 year old daughter Chelsea has been missing for a week.
She posted the below statement on her blog:
Rosie O’Donnell’s 17 year old daughter, Chelsea O’Donnell was reported missing. Nyack, New York police authorities have been looking for her in the Rockland County area since Sunday, August 16. She was last seen Tuesday, August 11. She was wearing a black sweatshirt hoodie, dark ripped blue jeans, women’s grey converse sneakers and a black backpack. Chelsea has a large tattoo on her right side of a dream catcher with the word ‘Breathe.’ She left home with her 6 month old therapy dog named Bear. The dog is a 9 lbs brown and black terrier. Chelsea stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention. Any information please contact authorities at 845-358-0206 or 911.
If you see the runaway and/or her dog please call the numbers above. Sadly, there is a lot of public transportation in the Nyack area and she can be anywhere by now. Hopefully, she stayed close to home and will be sleeping her own bed soon and back on the medication she needs.
UPDATE: Rosie just Tweeted this great news, “chelsea has been found and is safe in police custody – thank u all for the help and light #missingchildren.”

Before Rosie O’Donnell had her own talk show, she appeared on the game show Cross Wits. She looks the same now as she did when she was 24 in that 1986 episode.
Even though Rosie O’Donnell has said she was postponing her wedding to Michelle Rounds because of her health issues, turns out they have been secretly married the whole time. According to People they married on June 9th days before her wife’s surgery in a private ceremony that included just the two of them. Rosie announced the news on her site in a way only she could by saying:
my wife michelle
was diagnosed with desmoid tumors in june
a mysterious rare – too often fatal disease
that affects 3 in a million people
we were to wed 10 days ago
but her illness forced us to postpone the wedding
luckily –
as i was in ICU that day
when it rains …
things grow
like love and flowers
humans too
so on we go
we married in private
before her surgery
just the 2 of us
when we r both well enough
will have the wedding of r dreams
surrounded by those we cherish
thankful for the love and support
so many have given us
during these trying times
including all of u
stranger-friends
connected thru invisible strands
of wi fi
Hopefully they both will be well enough to have the wedding party sooner rather than later. Two close calls to death makes you appreciate what you have even more and it appears they are really appreciating what they have together.
