''JaHeRo'' is the video blog (vlog) started by Rosie O'Donnell on her website Rosie.com answering fans questions, giving behind the scenes information and serving as a video diary. Originally featuring only O'Donnell and her hair and make-up artist Helene Macaulay they were soon joined by her writer from ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show'', Janette Barber. O'Donnell, her producer Barber, and Macaulay created unscripted video blogs Monday through Thursday prior to taping, during which they answered user-submitted questions. Called ''Jahero'', composed of the first two letters of each of their first names, they occasionally had short cameo appearances by ''View'' co-hosts Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Barbara Walters. Jenny McCarthy appeared once briefly, as has Hasselbeck's mother-in-law and O'Donnell's mother-in-law, her wife Kelli's mother. Kathy Griffin also appeared, where she read some of the questions. It became so popular that O'Donnell and her creative team considered an "on the road" version of the video blog utilizing fan-submitted suggestions. O'Donnell was the front runner for the "best celebrity blogger" category in the 2007 Blogger's Choice Awards which she won. They adopted Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" as their unofficial theme song with O'Donnell quite frequently singing the chorus as "I Need JAHERO" after it was suggested by a blogger on Rosie's site. ''The New York Times television critic and journalist Virginia Heffernan praised O'Donnell for being able to be "so watchable" even though she has "no commercials, no scripts, no music, no wardrobe, no crew."〔Virginia Heffernan|source="Really, Really Rosie", ''The New York Times'', June 21, 2007〕 ==History== The video blog debuted on March 27, 2007 in the makeup/dressing room of The Viewat ABC Studios New York. Originally featuring only O'Donnell and Macaulay, on April 18, 2007 Barber joined the cast. Occasionally Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Barbara Walters made short cameo appearances. Jenny McCarthy appeared once briefly, as did Hasselbeck's mother-in-law and O'Donnell's mother-in-law (wife Kelli's mother). Kathy Griffin also appeared, during which she read some of the user-submitted questions. Rosie left the View on May 25, 2007. JaHeRo reunited to create blogs twice at Rosie's home during the summer of 2007. In January, 2008, Rosie confirmed on her blog that she will re-unite with Helene for some blog videos when she tapes her appearances for "Password," hosted by Regis Philbin. Rosie also said Janette will not be present. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jahero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
