Rosie Cancels Diane Sawyer Interview

Rosie O'Donnell has canceled her interview with "Good Morning America's" Diane Sawyer.

The sit-down, meant to discuss her new book "Celebrity Detox," was set for Oct. 9.

A spokesperson from the show says, "We were looking forward to having Rosie as a guest on the program. Unfortunately, today we were informed she has decided to cancel all of her interviews."

Rosie's decision comes just after she refused an invitation from Oprah Winfrey to chat about her book.

The snub sparked rumors of a feud, but Rosie insisted the two were not fighting and simply said she wasn't ready to talk about the book, saying it was "too raw."

Rosie says she will not do any interviews about "Celebrity Detox."

The book hits shelves Oct. 9.

Sorry, Charlie, but almost every author (and I use the term VERY loosely w/ ms. o)does the talk show circuit when their wk is published.SHE’S the one making a big deal out of it. The book’s ‘too raw’ to discuss? I guess writing wasn’t the catharsis for her that it should’ve been.Living it (whatever IT may be) is the raw part. If you’re able to write about it, and get paid for it, you should be able to talk about it. She opens her yap about everything and everyone else!!!

I’ve been acquainted with several gays and lesbians out there… some are conservative, respectful and serious… some are vulgar, with integrity and style. Rosie is neither! She disappeared for awhile and came back brutally insane. Truthfully, what happened to you, Rosie??? You went from comedic to nonsense!!!

Jayla,…. Backing Rosie is like backing people who think we never landed on the Moon. Or 911 was an inside job. Rosie is a fat nut bag with severe diarrhea of the mouth. It just keeps coming and coming. Next to Rosie Ted Bundy and Charles Manson seem normal. If she acts this nuts on drugs, just think how crazy she would be if they didnt come out with anti-depressants. The problem is when you have everyone out there with the same low self-esteem as Rosie backing her up, she thinks her opinion is the truth. AND the crazy keeps spilling out.

Rosie, is the same as Britney, Lindsey and Paris, attention whores. Of course without the good looks and a foot of hair bomb to boot. She needs help, a trim and 40 shirks at her disposal.

I think it’s time for Rosie to check herself into a mental health facility. She is completely unstable. I watched her constantly attack anyone on “The View” if someone didn’t agree with her
“Hollywood Democratic” ways. I thought that Donald Trump had lost it when they had their feud, but over time I’ve realized that what he said was true. Try to have some class Rosie and stop bad mouthing anyone and everyone. You’re no longer on “The View” so your opinion means nothing. It sounds like your book was only put out there to trash others. Grow up and stop using the “gay” card. Our opinion of you has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you’re gay. Never has, never will. Our opinion comes from the fact that you basically take pleasure in being as nasty as you possibly can to others. What happened to you???

That’s correct, Anonymous. By the way, it’s spelled, ‘T-O-O’ in that context.

My dear Jayla—You’re probably right since most republicans are far to educated and intelligent to believe people like Rosie.

If ro-z can’t talk about something she wrote because it’s too raw, maybe she shouldn’t have written it - what BS

Who cares if she/it is gay or straight, she’s a wackjob. The wing ding who made the comment about hating Grossie O’Donnell and voting for Bush is as ignorant as she is. Moo moo, oink, oink!

Gay or straight has nothing to do with it. Rosie is just plain GROSS! People need to stop paying attention to her. She just needs to shut up and keep out of the public eye. She absolutely has no talent!

The majority of Americans who hate Rosie probably voted for Bush. They can’t handle the “truth” so they attack her. Go Rosie! She’s the real deal. Crack her book and learn something, people.

She canceled her interviews with Winfrey and Sawyer because what she has said in her book about her childhood is probably
only fabrications. I wouldn’t trust the word of anyone who could put a photo of their daughter (adopted or not) on the internet with a strap loaded with faux bullets over her precious little shoulder. She has lots of money—she can do anything or publish anything she wants I guess. But, she is not of good character for many reasons, and no — not because she is gay.
