Rosie has new girlfriend, TV show

Rosie O'Donnell has a new girlfriend: Melissa Rounds, a corporate headhunter for an IT company.

O'Donnell introduced Rounds to the public Monday night at her annual Rosie Theater Kids Gala in Manhattan.

People magazine reports that the pair met at a Starbucks a few months ago.

O'Donnell has four children with former partner Kelli Carpenter, whom she married in 2004. They separated three years later.

O'Donnell and her last girlfriend, Tracy Kachtick-Anders, reportedly split in February after more than a year of dating.

The Commack-raised O'Donnell will be returning to TV on Oct. 10 with a new, Chicago-based talk program, "The Rosie Show," on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network.

The Chicago Tribune reported last week that O'Donnell was buying a 6,000-square-foot home in the Lakeview area of the Windy City, for $2.5 million. The home comes with a heated three-car garage and a sports bar.
