Rosie O’Donnell’s Estranged Wife Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt

Radar Online is reporting that Rosie O'Donnell's estranged wife, Michelle Rounds, was recently hospitalized after a suicide attempt in a hotel room, about a week after photos surfaced of her ex on a "romantic getaway" with new girlfriend Tatum O'Neal. Not sure how much of this to believe -- Rounds has always seemed flaky and I'm not convinced Tatum and Rosie's aren't just friends -- but there's one thing I am sure of: Rosie has had a rough couple of months, between her custody battle with Rounds, her father's passing and her daughter running away.

Tatum O'Neal and Son Kevin McEnroe Talk Addiction, and More

Was stunned to read that John McEnroe and Tatum O'Neal's son Kevin just published an acclaimed debut novel based on his damaged maternal grandmother, for which signing the deal led to his notorious drug arrest. The New York Times has a great chat with them HERE.

Even more stunned to read Tatum is now into women, although dating John probably has had that effect on more than a few.

You Cannot Be Serious!

John McEnroe’s son Kevin, 27, busted with cocaine, painkillers, morphine: source 

The Daily News reports that Kevin McEnroe, the 27-year-old son of John McEnroe and Tatum O'Neal, was stopped by cops on the corner of E. Fourth St. and Avenue A about 11:24 p.m. Tuesday after making an apparent drug deal, police say. His alleged dealer, 22-year-old Niro Meneses, of the Upper West Side, was also arrested and charged. This is heartbreaking for any parent, but it must be especially difficult for John, who watched his marriage crumble as the result of drug abuse by his first wife. Read HERE.. 

Paramount's Pinnacle

Great article in this week's Village Voice about Paramount Pictures, which is using its centennial to celebrate its peak: the 1970s, when pictures like "Chinatown," "The Godfather" (and its sequel), "Harold and Maude," and "Paper Moon" were produced during a "moment of magic born from the fires of institutional chaos."
