06/03/2007 - Rosie O'Donnell - © Janet Mayer / PhotorazziThe New York Post reports O'Donnell snubbed the talk show queen for an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer.Oprah Winfrey wanted O'Donnell on the show to talk about her book, which lambasts Barbara Walters and Elisabeth Hasselbeck from talk show "The View." Donald Trump gets some licks too.Books featured on Winfrey's show usually sell through the roof but O'Donnell prefers to chat with Sawyer instead, her publicist Cindi Berger said."Rosie has always been booked with Diane. We gracefully declined Oprah's offer.""I'm sure Rosie will do Oprah's show another time," Berger said.In O'Donnell's upcoming book, the outspoken star reportedly talks candidly about her short but notorious showing on The View, saying that 77-year-old Walters should retire."Barbara Walters is almost twice my age. At some point it becomes necessary to step back. Everyone has to go. Going is part of the gig."Hostilities on the estrogen laced chat show are highlighted with O'Donnell reportedly writing if audience members shouted out "I love you Rosie" during commercial breaks, Walters would politely tell them, "It's impolite to say I love you to one person when there are four of us up here."

NO ONE should give a lick about any of these stupid 'tell-all' books. Who cares about all the intimate details of these self-absorbed celebrities? Why waste money so they can get richer?
