'Look at her she's skinny and perfect,’ the former View panelist said when a picture of Michelle was shown.

‘I first was checking for a Mattel stamp on her somewhere. I thought, “Do gay women come in that model?” But, they do. She is lovely inside as well.’

So in love: The happy couple

The rare disease, affecting only three in one million people, can cause life threatening problems or even death if allowed to grow unchecked near vital organs.

'We married in private before [Michelle's] surgery, just the [two] of us,' Rosie shared on her website.

'When we r both well enough will have the wedding of r dreams surrounded by those we cherish.'

According to the New York Post, Michelle signed a prenuptial agreement which stated that 'she gets nothing if she cheats.'

Meanwhile the coming year may bring a new job for Rosie, if Howard Stern has his way.

The radio DJ reportedly wants Rosie to join him as a judge on America's Got Talent.

'Rosie and Howard have had a tough past but now they are great friends. He thinks she is a great talent and will bring a new energy to that show,' a source told the Huffington Post.

'Just think what Rosie did when she joined The View - suddenly the show became must-see TV again. At the moment, a list of names exists, but if it were solely up to Howard, Rosie would get the job.'

'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains why he is sensitive about being African American

Jamie Foxx has revealed that he finds himself facing racial challenges in everyday situations of his life.

The African American actor explained during an interview with Vibe magazine that he is always sensitive about his skin colour.

Jamie, 45, admitted that 'Every single thing in my life is built around race'.

Tough times: Jamie Foxx, pictured on Thursday in New York City, says that he always sensitive about being black

He told Vibe magazine: 'Cause as black folks we're always sensitive. As a black person it's always racial.

Super stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington and Jamie spoke to Vibe magazine

'I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese.

'I'll be like, ain't this a b***h. Y'all didn't know black people was coming.'

In the same vein he explained that if he turned up to the photo shoot and there was fried chicken and watermelon, he would also be annoyed at the stereotype.
Jamie also admitted that he feels that he must act and talk in a certain way around white people and in his day-to-day job as an actor.

He told the magazine: 'But the minute I leave my house, I gotta put my other jacket on and say, 'Hey, Thomas, Julian and Greg.' And I gotta be a certain person.

'But when I get home my other homies are like how was your day? Well, I only had to be white for at least eight hours today, [or] I only had to be white for four hours.'

Foxx was speaking extremely candidly alongside Django Unchained co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kerry Washington, who all defended the Quentin Tarantino directed movie.

 

The project attracted a lot of negative reactions from prominent African American entertainers such as Tyler Perry.
DiCaprio, 38, who plays a murderous plantation owner said he knew that the film would create controversy because of its slavery themes, but stands by the project proudly.

He said: 'It is Quentin's re-creation; this character doesn't exist. There's nobody that is documented to do what Jamie's character has done at the time.'

Strong male: Jamie plays a slave who turns into a bounty hunter in the controversial film

This is not the first time that Tarantino has been criticized for his use of the n-word, as Spike Lee took issue with its use in the 1997 film Jackie Brown where the controversial director allowed it to be used 38 times.
The latest film, which will open on Christmas Day, focuses on the partnership between a former slave who becomes a bounty hunter who enjoys killing white people in his pursuit for his captured wife.
A screening of the film on Tuesday led to reviews that warn of extreme violence and excessive cursing.

Top class: DiCaprio was nominated for a Golden Globe for his starring role as an evil plantation owner in Django Unchained

'Quite naturally, given the historical setting, the N-word gets a heavy workout, by whites and blacks alike. But much more forceful is the cruelty dispensed by the Southern whites, both as punishment and whim,' a review in The Hollywood Reporter says.
Among the scarring acts are instances when attack dogs are released on a man, and black fighters are forced to fight to the death in an ornate drawing room simply for the entertainment of a white plantation owner.
Foxx has some personal connections to the racial prejudices shown in the film, and during one press event he said that he was frequently faced with the n-word while growing up in Texas.

'Being called a n***** as a young kid by white people was something I had to deal with,' Foxx said.
'Having that done to me I was able to grasp what was going on in the script. When a project becomes magic and special it means that at certain points in the script it parallels your story.'
He is not the only prominent African American to have embraced the sensitive material, as the actor said that a number of his friends including Oprah Winfrey have seen the film and, because they came in braced for the typical Tarantino level of violence, they enjoyed it overall.
