Humor is one of the best ways of coping with stress, and comedienne Rosie O'Donnell has had more than her fair share of drama lately thanks to very public feuds with Donald Trump and her more conservative View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, which ultimately lead to the eleven-times Day Time Emmy Award winner parting ways with Walters & Co. in June, three weeks before her contract with ABC was due to expire.
Not one to be down and out for long, the ever-resilient O'Donnell made the most of her unexpected free time. She left her troubles behind and jumped on the True Colors tour bus with longtime pal Cyndi Lauper.
O'Donnell, who came out in 2002 after a guest appearance on the sitcom Will & Grace, married former Nickelodeon exec Kelli Carpenter in San Francisco in 2004. The license was later voided by the California Supreme Court. The couple have four kids, three of them adopted, and Rosie has worked tirelessly raising over $60 million for her For All Kids Foundation which gives grants supporting early childhood care and education.
Here's some of the killer cracks and words of wisdom that O'Donnell imparted to the True Colors crowd from the stage of Hollywood's Greek Theatre.
On Donald Trump and Larry Ling talking on air about how they don't find her sexually attractive:
"As you can imagine it was devastating to me. It's been a goal of mine for many years to give a bald billionaire and a toad a boner."
On Mexican men and their healthy attitude towards larger ladies:
"Bone is for the dog. Meat is for the man. So I'm moving down to Mexico"
On Paris Hilton:
"I would have had a lot more fun in prison than she did."
On abortion:
"I don think anyone should have control over my body except me and Angelina Jolie."
On algebra:
"It's impossible."
On fame:
"It's just me and Aretha Franklin. We're the only fat famous people left."
