If The View were smart they’d snatch this lady up and put her on air. Everyone knows stylists hear the best gossip and according to Ro, Helene’s worked with Edie Falco, Mariah Carey, Susan Sarandon, Liam Neeson, Jamie Lynn Sigler, and the freakin’ Queen of Jordan.

Also: Just becuase you spent the last half hour going through all 388 of Rosie’s personal pictures doesn’t mean you’re sad, weird, or voyeuristic. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.

On his right arm
—The names of his wife and children
—The word “death” drawn in a way that looks like “life” when viewed upside down
—A ring of fire inspired by the Johnny Cash song

Across his chest
—A bluebird and a cardinal (the latter is the state bird of Indiana and Ohio, where his family is from)

On his shoulder blades:
—Four running ponies that he calls “my four fillies”

On his back
—A design that appears to be a door with a knocker shaped like a lion’s head. “My wife’s last name is Leon, and the door leads into the ‘chambers,’” he explains.
—A giant No. 7. “It’s known as the lucky number in Vegas, “Chambers says, “but it’s know as the number of perfection in biblical terms.” It also happens to be the exact number of people in his family.

Because we’re on the cutting edge here at The Journal News, not only can you get celebrity gossip via this blog, but you can also get your fix by way of the Regional News Network (Channel 19 in Westchester and Rockland if you have Cablevision, some other channel if you live elsewhere and have other cable companies.). Between 6:30 and 7:00 tonight, join us in laughing at Robert Zeliger as he sits down to chat with anchor Paul Mueller about Donald Trump, The Sopranos, Denzel Washington, and more. First person to get the clip up on YouTube wins.

Quick! You only have 7 days 4 hours and 35 minutes to beat out “bigbidder” for a rendezvous with the ravishing Richard Gere. Charitybuzz, which holds online auctions for nonprofit agencies, lists Gere as Lot# 3601. The bidding began on March 20th at $200 and is already up to $13,500.

The dreamy date will take place at Gere’s new Bedford inn, which is scheduled to open this fall. Gere, wife Carey Lowell, and business partner Russell Hernandez, bought the 14-acre site at 954 Old Post Road—home to the former Hoppfield’s Inn—for $2.7 million January 2006. Gere, a Pound Ridge resident, plans to renovate the beat up building into a 125-seat restaurant and a nine-room inn, complete with a yoga studio, bar, cafe, and horse trails.

It will be the perfect place to discuss the Dalai Lama over a cup of joe before hopping on a stallion and riding him into the sunset. No, not that stallion…the horse. I’m talking about the horse.

Happy Birthday. From the folks who know you best (Chris, Danielle, Ted, Robert, and Erica)...

After the jump, check out our birthday greetings to Rosie.

Dear Ro,
Happy birthday! I don’t have anything snarky to say, mostly because I fear that if I did, you would run me off this mortal coil as you inadvertently(?) did with your foreshadowing wish for Anna Nicole Smith.
Koosh balls forever,
Christopher B. Serico

Ro-Ro,

Since your magazine and talk show have both ceased to exist, how about you come work for us? We can put you in print and on the air. You’ll be bigger than Barbara. If not, i’ll see you around the hood. Big up to Rockland. What. What.

Love,

Danielle

Dear Rosie,

Thank you for all the laughs, all the tears, and all the home videos. Here’s a poem just for you:

Rosies are red

Violets are blue

I never thought as a 20-something male

I’d actually enjoy “The View”!

But I do, Ro.

And it’s because of you!

—Robert

Hi Rosie,

You may not know me. My name is Erica and I’m shy. I may not write about you a lot but I love you all the same. Happy Birthday, my little bundle of joy.

XOXO,

Erica

Yo Ro,

Hang in there, sistah. I know 45 can feel old, and sure with fellow comedian Richard Jeni and baseball player Kirby Puckett keeling over at that age, it might seem like a death sentence. But remember, they don’t have inversion therapy to stay in peak physical condition (I don’t believe the weightist turkeys at Out magazine, who say your body fat is 31.3%—I say 30%, tops). Stay strong, ching chong,

—Ted

Rosie, over the past year we’ve been through a lot together. Without your fiery feuds with The Donald, and Oprah, and Star, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and, well, everyone else, we’d have about as many hits as Juggling Acts. I guess, what we’re really trying to say is: Dearest Rosie, without you there would be no us. So, in honor of the miraculous day of your birth, we hereby declare this National SuburbaRosie Day. Please, take the day off. Blog. Write cryptic poetry. Hang upside down. We will commemorate the day with multiple posts in your honor and, of course, a 50 Koosh salute.

Woosh…Woosh…Woosh …Woosh…Woosh… Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…
Woosh…Woosh…Woosh …Woosh…Woosh… Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…
Woosh…Woosh…Woosh …Woosh…Woosh… Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…
Woosh…Woosh…Woosh …Woosh…Woosh… Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…
Woosh…Woosh…Woosh …Woosh…Woosh… Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…Woosh…

Thank you, Rosie. Thank you. And Happy 45th.

She turned 44 Sunday and looks damn good. How do I know? Because she’s going to be in Intown Westchester Magazine. No spoilers here, though. To see the pics and read the interview, get your hands on a copy of our May issue, which pubs April 26.

Also, tomorrow: The big Ro turns 45.

After a long battle with cancer, Angelina Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the Associated Press reports. She was 56.

Bertrand, a former actress best known for her roles in Lookin’ to Get Out and The Man Who Loved Women, raised Jolie and her brother James Haven after divorcing from actor Jon Voight in 1978. Three years later, Bertrand purchased a home at 182 Woods Road in Sneden’s Landing, a few miles from where Jolie attended elementary school in Orangeburg.

According to a statement released by the family, Jolie, Haven, and Jolie’s boyfriend Brad Pitt were with Bertrand when she passed away. A private funeral is planned and the family is asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.

Blondie sits pretty.
Tries to talk; no one listens.
Her head is empty.

Of course both sides are denying the rumors. But then again, so did Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey and we all know how that turned out.

The Mount Vernon-born mogul also admitted to sleeping with Porter during his love affair with J.Lo. Porter, who’s still regaining the ability to walk, is currently knocked up with Diddy’s twins.

Hate the game, kids. Not he Playa’.

Well, it is hunting season…

No word yet on whether Cheney was seen exiting the plane in a bright orange Carhartt jacket and goggles.
