Days after turning down a seat next to the one woman who would single handily thrust new book “Celebrity Detox” into literary stardom, Rosie O’Donnell has come to her senses.
No, she didn’t profusely apologize to Oprah Winfrey and beg for another chance to appear on her show; rather the former “View” co-host has decided not to appear hypocritical and has now cancelled all of her interviews related to the revealing new book. You’ll recall the comedian granted “Good Morning America’s” Diane Sawyer a sit down interview to promote her new book even though she refused Winfrey’s invitation. Now, word comes that O’Donnell has decided to cancel her interview with Sawyer as well.
Late last week an ABC spokesperson released a statement that read: “We were looking forward to having Rosie as a guest on the program. Unfortunately, we were informed she has decided to cancel all of her interviews.”
Shortly after O’Donnell snubbed Winfrey critics speculated that the two were on bad terms, but Rosie insisted the pair was not fighting and said she simply wasn’t ready to talk about the book because it was “too raw.”
O’Donnell’s camp insists Rosie will not be doing any interviews regarding “Celebrity Detox.”
Gee, I’m sure Donald Trump is heartbroken about the news.
Since O’Donnell bailed on her, perhaps Sawyer can fill the spot with former Vice President Al Gore.
He couldn’t garner enough votes to make it into the White House, but he certainly isn’t lacking support from award committees. It’s a fact Gore’s peeps want the country to recognize. Fresh off a win at last week’s Emmys (he also has an Oscar for his movie on global warming called “An Inconvenient Truth”) Gore is making the rounds to promote Current TV, his youth-oriented television channel.
Current TV, which reaches about 40 million homes in the United States, won Gore his first Emmy for creative achievement in interactive television.
