Rosie O’Donnell: No Interviews for Me

Looks like Rosie O'Donnell can't decide if she wants to promote her book or not. O’Donnell originally agreed to discuss her new memoir, Celebrity Detox, in a sit-down with Diane Sawyer, after refusing an offer from Oprah Winfrey. But now the 45-year-old comedian says she’s sworn off all interviews about her new book (although sources tell Usmagazine.com that O'Donnell is still likely to sit down with Sawyer).
In a blog post on rosie.com dated September 18 and titled “ms winfrey,” O’Donnell wrote:
for now
i decided no interviews
about celebrity detox
it is too raw
In her trademark haiku style, the 45-year-old controversial comic also revealed that she had difficulty putting her feelings on paper. She blogged:
the book
was hard 2 write
[…]
writing is
4 me
by far
the most revealing medium
2 work in
i do not feel ready
to discuss or defend
the things i shared
on those 209 pages
Celebrity Detox, which is due to hit bookshelves October 2, opens with O'Donnell's first day as a cohost on The View and follows her turbulent one season on the morning chat fest.
After reading the book, a psychiatrist told the New York Post that O’Donnell “shows signs of post-traumatic stress disorder and dishes out her anger mostly to women because of deep-seated abandonment issues over her mother's death.”
O'Donnell takes on nemesis Donald Trump in her tell-all, calling him a "wind-up toy with Tourette's," who is full of "mechanical meanness.” She also criticizes Barbara Walters for tossing aside women for "the rich guys' club."
The comic has insight into her neuroses - but is unable to control them, or change her behavior, clinical psychologist Dr. Robert Butterworth tells the Post.
He adds: "Freud would have a field day with this book.”

That disgusting pig has really overstepped her boundaries. Wasn't it bad enought for her to discriminate against Christians, Asians and heterosexuals, but now she is mocking people and children who have the unfortunate disability known as Tourette's Syndrome. This is an abomination and those who are afflicted with this horrible, tragic condition, along with their loved ones, should not stand by and let her get away with this. Someone needs to let her know that the world is sick and tired of her filthy public display. I am with Donald Trump all the way - she is unintelligent and a disgrace to our society. I hope noone buys her ridiculous book. What a shame!

Whew. She is keeping her mouth shut. Thank GOD. I cannot stand to even see a photo of her, much less hear her talk, I do however enjoy trashing her on this site. Ew. Yuck. Blaa. Same goes for Opie and Sawyer. What a bunch egos there. I just can't stand any of them. Ugly bit.ches with big mouths. Just what the world needs. !! Barbara Walters can be thrown in there for good measure also.

This is the greatest thing I have read in a long time. I don't have to see Rosie's mug or hear her resinating voice on my TV pushing her self promotion. Why can't this woman take her "Holier than Thou" self and fall off the face of the earth. I too used to love to watch her but I cannot stand the sight of her any longer.

Rosie what a joke. I used to actually like this women. She is so obnoxious and rude. She has definately over stepped her bounderies. Do we really care what her opinions or thoughts are. She is a loud, rude, over opinionated, and too involved in everyone elses issues/concerns that don't even effect her. My motto: If it doesn't effect you or your family, don't get involved". There is some good advice for Ms.Bass mouth cause it is always opened!

I can't believe noone said anything about the racist comment on here. Crazy, some people are just crazy. What does Opra being black have to do with ANYTHING? I'm from the south, so don't tell me everyone feels that way, oh yeah, so you know... Racists are the minority now, ahole... Get with the program, your not cool, get over yourself.

Oh Wow. I can't wait until Rosie's book Celebrity Detox is released so I can use it for toliet paper and is actually putting down toliet paper.
(Sigh)
Why don't she not do any interviews at all and move to a desert island so that we don't have to put up with her nonsense anymore.

Who does Rosie think she is? ee cummings? She needs to get over herself. Why publish a book if you don't want to talk about it? Why not leave the personal stuff out if it is too "raw"? She is just trying to garner attention.

jen1, she wrote a book about what celebrity does to a person, and how you have to step out of the limelight every once in awhile to get back to your real self. She also wrote about her childhood (she used to hurt herself in order to feel or get attention), her mother's death, and some of the people she's worked with (Barbara Walters, her feud with Donald, etc.). She said the book was very personal and is going to let it speak for itself rather than her promote it. She's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. People complain that she won't do publicity and then complain when she does.

Rosie has publicly made an @ss of herself. She's so bitter and full of hate.
Too bad, she was very cool in the past. Now I can't stand her.

Jen1 Says:
what did she put in this book that is so sensitive? Does anyone know?
Why would she write a book, publish it, and then turn down major shows when they want to promote it for her?
Rosie is weird

boy, it's a good thing oprah is around to tell fat women how to think. If Oprah wasn't around fat women wouldn't read, judge people, cry, try and then fail to lose wait. OPRAH SHOULD BE SHOT.

Wow, amazing how a psychiatrist can make an analysis without seeing the patient. Look at all the money people could save in psych bills, just write a sentence and be diagnosed!

4:06, I agree, used to love to watch the show the last few years (even when things got hot with Rosie), but now it is just ladies screaming and then saying "we all get along". And maybe it is just me, but I do think Barbara is losing it, she always looks like a deer in the headlights and is constantly making sure she can hear Bill Geddie in her earpiece. Sad.

Wow, speaking of EH, boy has the View gone downhill. Didn't realize Sherri Shephard was a religious nut who doesn't believe in evolution. The show will be cancelled within the next two years I bet due to low ratings. They all just scream over each other now, no sense of order. Babs has lost it. The only one I like on there anymore is Joy, Whoopi is okay, but she even said that it is in her contract what she can and cannot speak about.

she said all along she wasn't going to do promos for the book, so not sure why this is latebreaking news other than US is trying to get egg off their face for reporting something wrong. Let the book speak for itself, if people want to buy it, buy it, if not, don't.

Rosie is never ready, or able to defend what she says! She tries to make people like EH do it for her.
