Rosie O’ Donnell Passes on Oprah
Oprah wanted to have Rosie on her show to talk about the former View co-host’s new book, Celebrity Detox, but Rosie decided to go a different way.
“She’s doing an interview with Diane Sawyer instead,” a spy for Page Six said. Cindi Berger, Rosie’s rep, said, “Rosie has always been booked with Diane. We gracefully declined Oprah’s offer. I’m sure Rosie will do Oprah’s show another time.”
The book is said to dish about Rosie’s rivals, Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Donald Trump, amongst other things. It’s an interesting choice for Rosie to turn down Ops, considering every book Oprah touched turns to platinum. Then again, you can call Rosie many things, but a sell-out? Never.
