From ‘Fortunate’ to ‘This Woman’s Work,’ ‘Pretty Wings,’ and more, Maxwell has gifted modern R&B music some of its most memorable hits.

Rosie O’Donnell may have once ruled the airwaves as ‘Queen of Nice’ while she hosted her hit 90’s talk show, ‘The Rosie O’Donnell Show,’ but fans of stars who have been on the receiving end of her commentary or criticism wouldn’t quite dub her as such.

In 2017, O’Donnell made headlines when she ticked off Whitney Houston fans for weighing in on the late Pop diva’s sexuality – asserting she knew for a fact the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer was romantically involved with longtime friend, Robyn Crawford.  The assertion came two years before Crawford published her memoir, ‘A Song for You,’ confirming the rumored relationship.
