Celebrity Detox is finally here  
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Have I waited this long for a book to come out?  I don't think so.  But I finally have my hot little hands on Celebrity Detox, Rosie O'Donnell's biography / memoir, which hit shelves yesterday, and I am planning on devouring it within a day or two - so come back for my review!

Rosie would not have been pleased to know that Donald Trump's book was a shelf above her on the Borders New Releases stand.  Don't worry, Rosie, I did a little rearranging (wink, wink).

The delicious excerpt from the back of the book:

"I came on The View.  This is the story of how it all happened, off stage, on stage, how we struggled to make the show, and then so much more than that.  This is an account of what it means to make a show, and a friend, and an enemy, or two.  This is about where we went wrong, and right.  It's a story about stars and celebrities and one woman - me - going off the air four years ago and then trying to re-enter orbit, not knowing if she can.  It's the story of wondering whether I could give up the addictive elixir of fame and then go back, wondering if it's possible to sip instead of slug.  It's a story about so much...how Barbara Walters started out as sort of a mother, and me a child willing to obey [obey?  Rosie?], and where we finally ended up, months later...after all the Trump dump and divisive ways of the world we are in, we have still, nevertheless, at the very end, found a way to talk.  We found, I have to hope, a friendship that, like any other friendship, is both compromised and connected."

I'm chomping at the bit!
