Rosie is always a great sport when she drops by - she wore a Glinda the Good Which costume for Halloween and performed a song and dance routine for Rachael's birthday - and this time she is taking a spin on our turntable and answering rapid-fire questions from the audience!

Rosie is also taking a moment to get serious and raise awareness about Auditory Processing Disorder, which her 10-year-old son Blake was diagnosed with two years ago. "By the time he got to first grade he was furious, he was full of rage, he was angry. You couldn't really understand what he was saying, so we went and had him tested for everything and what he came back with was a diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorder. So for Blake, he does not hear the same way we do ... when it gets transferred to his brain it gets jumbled up."

Rosie sought treatment from Lois Kam Heymann, who has been working with Blake for more than two years. "[She] totally transformed this child," Rosie says. "I would cry almost every week after the session ... it was witnessing a miracle... I said, we have to give this to people who don't have this kind of resources." Rosie and Lois are now out with the book titled The Sound of Hope to help parents of children with this disorder. Click here for Lois' tips!
