Rosie’s Memoirs Pretty Much as Weird as You Expected They’d Be

From USA Today:

Reading Celebrity Detox is like having a patient on the couch without the necessary medical degree to sort through what’s insightful and what’s just nutty.

This is a train wreck of a book — part self-help psychobabble, part searing memoir — by a grown woman who lost her mother as a child …

Too-much-information is not a concept O’Donnell embraces. You will learn how fame affected her bowel habits, that she “inseminated” her partner, Kelli, and that her son once told her, in the bathtub, that he didn’t like her fat belly. (She told him she didn’t like it either.)

The review also includes this choice quote from the book, regarding Rosie’s relationship with Barbara Walters:

“… you did not defend me. And I have been a good, loyal daughter to you. And I want you to be a good mother to me. Don’t let the bad man hurt me.”

I don’t say this often, but, seriously, gag me with a spoon.
