Rosie's Vow Of Silence

Filed under: Rosie O'Donnell

rooooosie.jpg

Rosie O'Donnell recently turned down an invitation from Oprah Winfrey to appear on her talk show to promote her upcoming memoir, Celebrity Detox.

At the time, O'Donnell's publicist said, "Rosie has always been booked with Diane [Sawyer]. We gracefully declined Oprah’s offer. I’m sure Rosie will do Oprah’s show another time.”

Rosie herself wrote this blog post recently about the Oprah incident.

Well, now O'Donnell has cancelled on Diane Sawyer!

Why?

Her publicist is now saying, "The book is a very personal snapshot of a certain time in Rosie's life, and she felt she bared her soul on those pages. She feels people should read the book and take away from it what they will. She does not want to do any interviews."

And there you have it.

We're sure Rosie will talk about it (at least a bit) on her blog, though.

      ROSIE,Is one of the few decent celebs. She may be loud, arrogant, and opinionated, but she knows this about herself. Its her authentic self, not a put-on act.
      When she had her own show and on the view, she talked about relevant, important world and nationwide issues. Whether or not U agree W/ her is irrelevant, whats important is her opinions get news coverage and sparks conversations. Important conversations that need to be haved.

      Rosie needs to be taken out and shot like a dog in the street. NOBODY CARES. Her book is a bunch of self-important drivel designed to make people believe she actually has a soul. She is an attention-seeking moron who thinks that letters like "r" and "u" are actually acceptable words in the English language. If she didn't want to answer questions, if this "work" was so personal and private, why the fuck did she publish it in the first place? I'll tell you why. Because like everything else in her life, she wanted to gain attention and popularity without answering to anyone or being questioned in any way about her decisions/"life". I could have puked a better book. I love/loathe how self-indulgent she is. "I was drawn to the canvas". Shut the fuck up.

      What happened to Rosie? I think she is seriously bipolar. She used to be easy going and funny. She needs some serious antidepressants and psychotherapy. I miss the old Rosie. Why can't she be a more happy go lucky lesbian comedian like Ellen Degeneres? Take a long vacation girlfriend and keep your mouth shut. Get some therapy …you need help!

      I hope Rosie sues the media outlets that got quotes from her book BEFORE it came out on the market. They have broken copyright laws. Most them have discussed on TV, OJ Hammer is one, the fact she broke her bones herself for attention but do not mention the TRUTH!!! The bone breaking incidents were from her PAST when she was a child and they fail to mention that it was from her PAST. She is sharing this to help people who are hurting themselves now. If this happened to Oprah, Diane Sawyer, or Barbara Walters and many others as a child and they shared it in a book, the news media would praise them. Rosie shares it and the news media mocks Rosie and criticizes her. If you were Rosie, would you go the the news media's outlets knowing they are going to attack you face to face??? I hope she sues all the news medias that broke the copyright laws of her book to boast their TV show ratings.

      Re: rosie fan no longer – "I think she's seriously bi-polar"UM if u were evr a fan u would know that Rosie speaks openly about being under the treatment of a psychiatrist and taking medication for her very serious bi-polar condition. Its not a joke, its a horrific, incurable mental illness brought on by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Her books Find Me and Celebrity Detox are not meant to be comedy. They heroically deal w/ some really intense personal issues. Whether U like her comedy, political opinions, lifestyle, or not ; most people will find s-thing from her personal struggles that they relate 2. She's a person not a performing monkey.

      136

      O'Donnell is a rapid mental processor, she sometimes acts so fast, folks with normal processing speed cannot understand her actions for days. She is
      a bit "out there" to "normal" folk. This woman is a celebrity that is accessible to many of her fans via her blog, openly and honestly answers their questions, and shares glimpses into motherhood, celebrity, marriage, etc.
      She probably helps many more folks than the NARCISSISTIC LAURA SCHLESSINGER…SO just let her go and do her thing. What is this need to make fun of somebody that gives millions to charity and lives as she likes.
      She doesn't hurt anyone, ONLY HERSELF!

      137

      Rosie has shown time and again that she can dish it out, but she can't take it. She wants everyone to know her opinions about events and people, but she doesn't want to be challenged on those opinions, not really. If she is going to trash people in her book, then she should have the guts to take the heat when she is questioned about her views. If she can't do that, then she shouldn't have written the book. Throwing this book out there without defending it is not one of Rosie's best moments in her life.

      Everthing about Rosie O'Donnell is phoney.
      She has been a fake from day one when she was pretending to be a fat girl in love with Tom Cruise.
      I wish people would just ignore her. She could be a halfway decent character actress (let's see three or four characters she does over and over but still) but her fame and loud mouth and horrible personality gets it the way.
      She needs to go away for a long time. She has made her millions. Why does she linger on?

      I'm gay and many of my friends are. We all agree that Rosie is an obnoxious fat cow! You are an embarrassment to the gay community. Shut your fly trap and disappear! Leave this country with fat ass Brit, Lohan and Paris. Go to Canada or France where you will fit in better. She has nothing of value to offer the world.

      Did you tell the adoption agency you used to break your own bones when you applied to adopt kids? Of course not. Lying for whatever gets you what you need at the time….. just go away, no one cares

      Re: Danielle – Danhell R U a Psycho? "Taken Out and shot like a dog" Um angry much? Did u even read what u were writing? "She's an attention grabbing moron" that DOESN'T do interviews W/ Oprah? and Diane Sawyer? Ok thats a wee bit confusing!!! She wrote a book to gain "attention and popularity w/out being questioned"…..and u call her book drivel! Y the F would someone desperate for attention and popularity turn down an interview w/ Oprah, The most popular TV personality on the planet? Maybe u could "Puke-up" a halfway intelligent response to something that obviously makes u moronic w/ rage and envy! Jealousy is even ugly on faceless bloggers!
