You had to know that with a new book coming out and her blog a must-read, Rosie O'Donnell would remain in the news almost daily even though she is no longer on "The View." The latest brouhaha is over Rosie's decision to decline an offer from Oprah Winfrey to appear on her show to discuss the memoir "Celebrity Detox."
In her blog today, Rosie attempts to explain why...

the book was hard 2 write... things i could barely say aloud alone in a room made their way to the comp thru the key board or tape recorder

writing is 4 me by far the most revealing medium 2 work in... i do not feel ready to discuss or defend the things i shared on those 209 pages... read it urself, take away what u need, leave the rest. it is what it is.

the goal always is peace...self revelation...sharing - learning - teaching balance...wax on wax off.

for now i decided no interviews about celebrity detox...it is too raw..my no has nothing 2 do with anything
but me...my need 2 find my place within...

oprah is a force of nature, her invitation made me cry...her kind words about the book reinforces what we all know
2 b true about her... although fueds seems 2 b all the rage there isnt one regardless of what u read or see on fast food tv...
