Rosie O’Donnell is still talking about picking up her lil young thang at the Starbucks…”my gaydar was off”.. In an interview set to air Monday on “Nightline,” O’Donnell, 49, discussed how she first met her new girlfriend, gorgeous tech headhunter Michelle Rounds. “I walked into a Starbucks in the summer and she was holding a little puppy,” explained O’Donnell, who was on “Nightline” promoting her new talk show. O’Donnell struck up a conversation because she herself was in the market for a second dog, considering she had just moved to Chicago to film her show. The comedian and talk show host claimed she had no intention of picking up Rounds when she first approached her. “I thought she was a 28-year-old heterosexual girl because that’s what she looked like to me,” O’Donnell said. In fact, if O’Donnell had known Rounds, 40, was a lesbian, she claimed she would have been scared off. “I think if I had known she was gay, I wouldn’t have been brave enough to talk to her.” The funny lady conceded that perhaps her ability to pick up on whether a lady is eligible to date was in need of some tuning. Putting it bluntly, she said, “my gaydar was way off.” O’Donnell recently told People just how serious she and Rounds now are, despite her initial misreading of their situation. “I’m in menopause, and I’ve been having really bad hot flashes,” she said. Her therapist, however, had a different opinion on what was warming the comic up. “She said, ‘[It’s] because you’re also in love.’” Source
