Rosie O'Donnell won't be "Detox"-ing with Diane Sawyer (or Oprah) after all

After giving Oprah a big, fat umnah last week—declining to appear on her show to promote her new memoir, “Celebrity Detox”—South Nyack’s Rosie O’Donnell made an equally surprising move over the weekend: pulling the plug on her planned two-part interview with Diane Sawyer.
Rosie broke the news on her own r blog, where she wrote a lengthy free-verse missive (titled, oddly, “Ms. Winfrey,” not “Ms. Sawyer”):
i do not feel ready
to discuss or defend
the things i shared
on those 209 pagesread it urself
take away what u need
leave the rest
it is what it isthe goal always is peace
self revelation
sharing – learning – teaching
balance
wax on wax offfor now
i decided no interviews
about celebrity detox
it is too rawmy no
has nothing 2 do with anything
but me
my need 2 find my place
withinoprah is a force of nature
her invitation made me cry
her kind words about the book
reinforce what we all know
2 b true about her
Her publicist, Cindi Berger, confirmed to the NY Post’s Michael Starr, “She feels people should read the book and take away from it what they will. She does not want to do any interviews.” However, despite her reluctance to talk about “Detox,” she couldn’t me more excited to talk about reprising her role as Dawn Budge on FX’s “Nip/Tuck.” She posted multiple times about the show’s upcoming debut. Truth be told, the prospect of seeing her face sewn shut on the show (as previewed on her Flickr page) kind of has me a little excited too.
