Nobody Cares About Rosie…or Lance!

a77240133__opt.jpg

Rosie O'Donnell's much buzzed about new memoir, Celebrity Detox, was a big bomb, unfortunately, the new issue of Entertainment Weekly is reporting.

The book sold just 55,000 copies according to Bookscan.

Compared to other celeb books in 2007: Eric Clapton (375,000 sold), Steve Martin (198,000), Slash (70,000), Rosie came in LAST.

Slash from Guns 'n' Roses sold more than Ro! Ouch.

Only ONE BOOK did worse!

Lance Bass's autobiography sold a pathetic 13,000 copies.

Double ouch!

      Well duh nobody bought Lance's book. He was a fraud and all the old fans he had were all horny teenage girls with hormones raging. They feel betrayed and lied to so who is left to buy his book?

      Mario, You said that Ro's book was "LAST" among celebrity books released in 2007. Then right afterwards you wrote that Lance Bass' book sold less than Ro's. Why are you so stupid and fat? I've never criticized you directly before, but that's just too fucking blatant. You're a real dumbass.

    16. Elizabeth says – reply to this


      16

      Ouch! Much talked about memoir, I didn't hear anything about it until now. Although, I'm not really a Rosie follower (apparently neither is much of the rest of the population) She's kind of obnoxious. As for Lance, sorry but there's no other way to say this but didn't anyone really ever like him? Lets be honest N*Sync was all about J.T.

      um. rosies book did not sell so much bc she did not promote it hard and let it speak for itself. money is so 1998 guys.

      she did not do an ounce of publicity for the book, so considering, it faired pretty well.

      ok perez, so maybe you americans do not appreciate her, but I really do think that she is sending out a really important message. I dont think that you guys realize what the goverment is doing to your country and the economy. You guys are making millions of dollars for these gossip websites and celebrities are worshiped like gods, but do you ever stop to consider the people? her book may not have been a top seller, but she is sticking to her guns and expressing the thoughts of many who are to afraid to speak up for themselves. So she may be "annoying" but she is an inspiration

    25. stephie says – reply to this


      25

      The reason her book sold so few is because she has a book swap that her bloggers participate in where she allows people who have purchased the book to send it to people who cannot afford to buy it.

    26. CATHAZAT says – reply to this


      26

      This is SO gratifying on SO many levels! First of all, these celebrities get paid way too much advance money by publishers who think, despite the schlock they write (even with a ghost writer), that these books will be major cash cows for their publishing houses. Then, the books are highly publicized, again, because of the celebrity connections and media interest. The real writers out there who work for their craft and rarely get paid anything in advance or later on from royalties and who write far superior books are smirking right now, believe me.

      35

      I love Rosie. She could have sold more copies of her book if she'd of gone on Oprah and maybe she will later on. It was all too raw for her to promote it that way and be asked a lot of personal questions. The books says it all. I recommend the book to anyone because it is honest and a very good read. Really Perez you oughta read it and help promote it. All the proceeds go to Rosie's Broadway Kids charity. Go Ro, I love you girl!

      Sounds suspect - when did her book come out? Were all of the other celebrity books out for the same amount of time? Seems like hers came out later in the year, so it would obviously sell fewer copies.

      61

      Curious how the book’s sales have held up, I called Ingram, the largest wholesaler for independent book stores (and one of the only vendors that makes its sales data available to the public). They report that 33,247 copies of “Celebrity Detox” have sold. Generally, you can multiply that number by six in order to get a rough estimate of overall U.S. sales—so I’m figuring O’Donnell has moved just shy of 200,000 books. Not bad. Still, hardly enough to justify the hefty advance I’m sure Grand Central Publishing forked over.

      62

      Rosie's book bombed because she backed out of promoting it. Oprah wanted to interview her & she was supposed to do one of the morning programs. I think she wanted to nix the book altogether but couldn't because she signed the contract. Plus the book was not good. Still love her candidness though.

      69

      I love Rosie! She's probably one of the most interesting, honest, generous, artist, and funny celebs out there, and I'm one of her biggest fans, but ironically, I wont buy the book - who buts new books? I'll wait and get it second hand or borrow it from the library.

      Also, she doesn't seem like the competitive ass-kissing type. You have to kiss a lot of ass and do a lot of shameless plugs to get that "top selling" book and that just isn't her style. Like a true artist, she probably was more concerned about writing the book than selling it.

      If nobody really cared about Lance Bass he would not have 135842 fans on his myspace website. For Rosie I was unable to find her myspace page, but I found a fan site that connects you to her official page and that had 5872 friends on it, and then I took the liberty to search your myspace website Perez and you know what I discovered? I sure you do. A messily 41 Friends, and to be honest I surprised. I could not imagine anyone wanting to be your friend. Considering you lie through your teeth, stab people in the back and front, and would hurt someone you care about, and treat so many people like garabage or worst.

He's a iggnorant, foolish, individual. He was the one rumored to have outted Lance and that was for his own means. I would put money down and say that Lance is really not gay and Perez just outted him because he has a major crush on him. Lance would not touch Perez(MARIO) to scratch him.
