OK Rosie, why aren't you wearing red for your heart and Valentine's Day?  Rosie's hue choice is the only somber element of this show, which had us laughing out loud.  Our humor column, (did you even know we had one!) is called Laugh with Peachy, and it's not as populated as it could be yet because some people find themselves funnier than we find them.
Rosie O'Donnell is truly funny.
When you make it to the weekend, you know you need a laugh and you deserve one as well.  Rosie's unique 52-year-old perspective coupled with her being a parent to five lends itself to many tales of hilarity, and we surmise if you are a parent of teenagers you will find this especially entertaining.  Plus Rosie O'Donnell is a nice Irish girl.  We learned quite a lot of important things like why Colin Farrell should join Cirque du Soleil, and pondered with Rosie what kind of bushes might be growing in her backyard.  Rosie O'Donnell exudes an adept ability to make fun of herself with the best humor and keep her audience in stitches.  Find out how she nearly died trying to eat healthy...(cherries!).  And we would be remiss if we did not mention the multiple Barbra Streisand mentions....the Miami segment is delightfully amusing.  Save those crumbs, Rosie!
Not only is Rosie funny, but also, and more importantly, she tells you about 
HEPPP
What on earth?  you might say.
We will tell you she might save your life!  Did you know Rosie suffered a heart attack?  
If you ever feel 
Hot 
Exhausted
(have) Pain
(look) Pale
(and literally) Puke
Did you know you are having a heart attack most likely?
We did not, and we bet you might not have either. 
Rosie is a bit of Dr. Rosie in this stand up, and you'll see a side of her we hadn't seen before.
Heart Disease is the #1 killer of women....
For everyone that likes to laugh and has a heart, Rosie O'Donnell: A Heartfelt Stand Up Exclusively on HBO is a total must-see. Happy Valentine's Day! 



A unique fusion of comedy, confession and life-saving information, ROSIE O’DONNELL: A HEARTFELT STAND UP finds one of America’s most beloved comedians using a familiar platform – the stand-up stage – to deliver an important message when it debuts on Valentine’s Day, SATURDAY, FEB. 14 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO. 

Other HBO playdates: Feb. 17 (9:00 a.m., 7:00 p.m., 11:45 p.m.), 20 (1:15 p.m., 4:30 a.m.), 21 (7:00 p.m.), 22 (3:00 p.m.), 23 (12:45 a.m.) and 26 (9:15 a.m.), and March 7 (12:30 p.m.), 18 (8:30 a.m., 7:00 p.m.) and 23 (1:30 p.m.)

HBO2 playdates: Feb. 18 (3:00 p.m., 12:30 a.m.), 20 (9:00 p.m.), 24 (11:15 a.m.), 26 (9:00 p.m.) and 28 (5:05 p.m.)

More women die from heart disease each year in the U.S. than from all forms of cancer combined, making it the leading cause of death among American women. But the majority of them don’t call 911 at the first sign of heart trouble. “I wanted to raise awareness about women’s heart disease, since I found out the hard way that I knew nothing about the number-one killer of women,” says O’Donnell.

Taped at the Levity Live Comedy Club inside the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, NY, the special showcases O’Donnell’s skills as a laugh-out-loud stand-up comedian, while incorporating a vital message literally near and dear to her heart. A newly remarried wife and the mother of five, she shares her hilarious and earnest take on the joys and trials of family life, her ongoing infatuation with Barbra Streisand, her second chance at marriage with wife Michelle, and everything in-between.

After a raucous stand-up act, O’Donnell opens up about her life-changing 2012 medical emergency with characteristic candor. Not realizing she was exhibiting the key symptoms of a major heart attack for women, which are different from those experienced by men, she didn’t seek treatment for two days. Against all odds, she survived.

In ROSIE O’DONNELL: A HEARTFELT STAND UP, she stands up to heart disease, revealing life-saving facts to help women at risk. O’Donnell closes the show by sharing a useful acronym of her own creation – HEPPP – to help women remember the symptoms of a heart attack: Hot, Exhausted, Pain, Pale and Puke. Between the pathos and laughs, she offers this critical message: “Please call 911, know the signs and save yourself.”

ROSIE O’DONNELL: A HEARTFELT STAND UP was written by Rosie O’Donnell; directed and produced by Dan Chaykin; director of photography, Sam Painter; edited by Geof Bartz; produced by Larissa Bills; supervising producer, Jacqueline Glover; executive producers, Sheila Nevins and Rosie O’Donnell.
