Rosie turns down Oprah

Everyone knows if you want to gain mega media attention you go on Oprah. Not only does she have one of the biggest fan bases ever, but every book she recommends becomes an instant bestseller. If Oprah asks you to come on her show, you do it. Oprah is the shit plain and simple.

So when Oprah asked Rosie O’Donnell to be a guest on her show to discuss her new book, “Celebrity Detox” Rosie turned her down because she already promised Diane Sawyer a nice little sit-down chit-chat. Her rep is stating that she will probably go on the show another time. Even if she promised Diane an interview, if she really wanted to sell books she should make an appearance on Oprah. Granted Oprah will probably confront her about her blantanly rude comments on Elisabeth Hasselback, Barbara Walters and Trump, she’ll still get lots of media exposure and thus make more money off of her books.

Here is what Rosie posted on her website:ms winfrey

the book
was hard 2 write

things i could barely say aloud
alone in a room
made their way to the comp
thru the key board
or tape recorder

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

read it urself
take away what u need
leave the rest
it is what it is

the goal always is peace
self revelation
sharing - learning - teaching
balance
wax on wax off

for now
i decided no interviews
about celebrity detox
it is too raw

my no
has nothing 2 do with anything
but me
my need 2 find my place
within

oprah is a force of nature
her invitation made me cry
her kind words about the book
reinforces what we all know
2 b true about her

although fueds seems 2 b all the rage
there isnt one
regardless of what u read
or see on fast food tv

with pure intent
comes pure result
we pray

off 2 b dawn budge
in the other holy land
peace out peeps
