Los Angeles, CA � Rosie O'Donnell will be a collaborator for the OWN Documentary Film Club, selecting key films and hosting specials that inspire deeper conversations following their on-air premiere. It was announced today by Lisa Erspamer, chief creative officer, OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

OWN will air a one-hour special hosted by Rosie O'Donnell following the world television premiere of "Becoming Chaz" in May, featuring Chaz Bono, his girlfriend Jennifer Elia and filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato.

"We are thrilled to have Rosie be a part of the OWN Documentary Film Club," said Ms. Erspamer. "She has a great enthusiasm and sensibility for documentaries, and is the perfect choice to host the specials."

"I love watching every documentary. It excites me to know that OWN is as passionate about documentary films and storytelling as I am," said Ms. O'Donnell, whose new talk show "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," will premiere on OWN Fall 2011.
