Rosie Finds Her Man In Detroit

Last week, Rosie O’Donnell was in Detroit on a scouting mission for her new film, "America." Rosie co-wrote, will star in and is producing the Lifetime movie about a teenager who is caught up in the foster care system. She was in town looking for a teenage boy to play the film’s lead--and found him at a small restaurant where he was having lunch with his family. Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

While in town, Rosie checked out Kathy Griffin’s stand up act at Detroit’s Fox Theater and then took the time to write about the whole experience in her blog. According the Detroit Free Press, Rosie wrote:

I am in Detroit, Michigan / Where the recession is already the depression / Hard 2 believe -- unless u see it / We must save this city.

Way to uplift the community, Ro!
