Rosie O'Donnell and Angelina Jolie Were Almost An Item

ROSIE O'DONNELL had a chance to romance ANGELINA JOLIE before the movie star wed BILLY BOB THORNTON, but she was too afraid to book a dinner date with the actress.

The gay actress and TV personality has revealed Jolie once gave her her telephone number and the odd couple chatted, but the relationship never went any further.

In a radio chat with DJ Howard Stern on Monday (26Oct09), O'Donnell recalled, "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through.

"I was a little afraid of her. She’s scary in a sexual kind of way."

But she has never been able to get Jolie out of her mind: "I have dreams about her a lot still."
The Changeling star reportedly experimented with her sexuality before she wed Thornton - actress/model Jenny Shimizu has often claimed she was involved in a romance with the star a decade ago.
