Excerpts From Rosie's New Book "Celebrity Detox"


On Elisabeth Hasselbeck:
"She continued to appall me with her almost glib comments about torture, and who is right and who is wrong, but the feeling of baseline love stayed."


On Barbara Walters' actions during the Donald Trump feud:
"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."

On Trump himself:
"Totally creepy. He was sadistic in a deeply disturbing way. It was like seeing a specimen squirming on a slide in a high school science class...Donald, for some reason, also reminded me a lot of the garden slugs we used to get on our front steps when we were kids."

On Anna Nicole Smith:
"A celebrity cannot exist without her audience. That is why I hold the audience responsible in part for Anna Nicole Smith's death. Fame is what killed that girl, and not only did America watch her demise, America abetted it, by either saying nothing, or worse, tuning in."
