Rosie O'Donnell Wants to Buy a House for Honey Boo Boo

Rosie O'Donnell Wants to Buy a House for Honey Boo Boo (ABC News)

Rosie O'Donnell, who is on the mend from a recent heart attack, tells People.com she's a fan of the reality TV series "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."

"I love Mama June. I love Sugar Bear. I love Chubbs…I love 'em all," the 50-year-old said.

O'Donnell also thinks very highly of 7-year-old Alana Thompson, the cute, blonde-haired, star of the show. The comic says Alana, aka Honey Boo Boo, is a lot like child actress Shirley Temple because she has "a presence and an intellect that goes way beyond her years."

Fans of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" know the family lives in a home with railroad tracks running through the backyard in McIntyre, Ga., but O'Donnell would like to change that. She told People.com, "I'd love to meet them, and buy them a house."
