Rosie O'Donnell Snubs Oprah Winfrey - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-19-2007, 10:40 PM

Rosie O'Donnell has turned down the chance to appear on Oprah Winfrey's show to promote her new autobiography. The actress-turned-TV personality, who is currently promoting her memoirs Celebrity Detox, will snub a slot on The Oprah Winfrey Show for an interview with ABC anchor Diane Sawyer.

A source tells the New York Daily Post, "She's doing an interview with Diane Sawyer instead. 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 question is, will Oprah offer another time for Rosie?

Why Oprah, Why?!!!!!!!! Why do you care to interview this sorry excuse for a woman?

I'm sure Rosie will be promoting her book on her daily blog full of those awesome haikus and poems of hers!!!

Probably should have gone on Oprah, Rosie.

You really don't want to turn her down. She owns TV you know.

I think Rosie just wants to have her interview take over an entire hour in primetime.

Rosie is crazy for not doing The Oprah Show.

rosie said she is not doing any promoting for her book
it's too personal and she said it will speak for itself
it is what it is

She never was even asked by diane sawyer that was just
a rumor.

She respects Oprah and said at this time she will not be
doing the interview, maybe at a different time.

How would you know all this?

I was a fan of Rosie's back in the day, not so much anymore. But I don't see what the big deal is. So she'd rather be interviewed by Diane Sawyer than Oprah Winfrey.

With that said, sure I would have done Oprah's show, but it's not like she was nasty about it or pulled a Manilow.

because I hear it directly from rosie on her blog.

she just tells the truth. she is not fake, she just simply tells the truth
I don't listen to the ET shows, you would be shocked to see how
they spin the actual truth. I always get my rosie information from rosie herself. I have loved her from day one and shared everyday with her on the view and saw how the ET shows spun that day's "rosie rant" and it was nothing like they made it out to be.
