I bet Rosie O'Donnell's publisher is going bananas over this one. Rosie has turned down an invitation to be on Oprah to talk about a new "tell all" book she wrote, called Celebrity Detox. According to the New York Post, she has granted Diane Sawyer the one and only interview about the book.But Rosie's personal blog tells a different story. I'll spare you her haiku/text message writing style and tell you what it says: Basically, the book is full of emotional stuff and Rosie's not ready to talk about it. She says she is not doing any interviews regarding the book and makes no mention of Diane Sawyer.
I don't know if the information in the book is really too "raw" for Rosie to talk about, but I'm glad she's declining to do interviews. The last year had an over-saturation of Rosie and I'd honestly rather see no Rosie at all than a bawling Rosie on Oprah or Primetime.

I don't think the story should be how stupid she is for turning it down, but if she's dieing or something. Rosie has never said no to anyone that was willing to listen to her trash.

Good grief...is it possible she is afraid of Oprah's interviewing technique. Is it possible she is not ready to reveal what she meant by the cast being protection? Is it possible Diane Sawyer said she'd not ask certain questions and Oprah wouldn't agree to that. There is so much YOU and I do not know. This is hurtful stuff and part of a human's search for healing. Let it be.

I think Rosie and Oprah understand one another - Rosie is the real deal, and so is Oprah.

Rosie is misunderstood by Nazi scum. She should rule the country.

So she rejects Oprah for Diane Sawyer. Isn't that the same mistake that Michael Jackson did?

I think Rosie pretty much explained it all when she said she doesn't want or need to be exploited even more by the "news media". Please, people, either buy or borrow her book from the library or leave her alone.

OMG.....ROSIE IS A TRAIN WRECK AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HER HATRED AND IDIOT SPEWINGS. She needs to say home and be the good little,,,er....good wife, husband or whatever role she plays these days. It is so much more enjoyable to listen to any show...now that we don't have to puke at the thought of her and let alone, listen to her communist rantings and ravings.
thanks for not putting us through your pity party, Rosie....thanks.

LOL, yesterday media cable and other MSM had the SCOOP that Rosie had DISSED Oprah...or at least is how presented unless one caught the actual factual "reporting" which had Rosie issuing a THANKS to O for her gracious comments about the book which O had perused and called unvarnished. Trying to stir the pots and pans and whatever , much like the attempt to make a bruhaing out of Manilow saying HIS appearance on the View was conditioned by preferring either WHoopie or Joy or Babs herself doing HIS interview on air as he further explained he did NOT have a "rapport" with Lizzie (not alone there for sure !!!) LOL, that one too seems a bit manufactured to fil airtime/printime and online space. O does NOT have a problem with Rosie declining and LOL, those dissing Rosie as if she somehow dissed O by declining at this time, are the same ones who majorly DISS and HISS at and about Rosie so why do they blather on and on for as much as they claim to dislike Ro, would seem they would NOT have been in the audience anyway so comes down to just innane blathers to blather !!!

Uh, too many prefer to ignor the fact that Rosie HAS been quite a charitible contributor to various causes..childrens and wounded vets and more...Rant and rave because you object to her "orientation" or dislike her political stances, but how about a morsel of NON hate offered in regards to the charitible and good workings she has willingly, sincerely contributed and continues to contribute...The book PROFITS GO TO THE CHILDRENS CHARITY not in HER pockets and as for going with Sawyer as the only "marketing", shorter gig, Oprah would have been far lengthier and Dianne will just gloss it and move on to next segment. Further note, books are NOT rapidly written nor printed..this book was in process long befor her exit from the View and likely known about as well. Even her ABC contract had various "stipulations"/etc....

a) Rosie said she doesn't want to talk to Oprah because the content of the book is emotional and she can't talk about it yet? Why did she write a book?
b) No one even cares that Rosie is a lesbian. It isn't even an issue, if it ever was. She has brown hair too, I think more people care about that.
c) She has played a strong and positive roll in charities and that work shouldn't be discredited. However that should not exonerate her. Also, many more people than Rosie do a lot more everyday and we'll never know their names.

For Bozzy at #14:
Blather? Blathering?...seems your blather about blatherers and blathering became so much blather it became hard to tell which blather and which blatherers you were blathering about. Blather on, blatherer!
