Rosie O'Donnell: Shocking Revelations in New Book
Fox News ^ | September 12, 2007 | Roger Friedman

Posted on 09/12/2007 8:31:39 PM PDT by yorkie

Rosie O’Donnell used to break her own limbs with either a baseball bat or a wooden hanger when she was a child.

This revelation, as well as many about her experiences on "The View" last year, is contained in a new book she’s written due shortly called “Celebrity Detox.”

This personal memory, so shocking, is almost thrown toward the end of what is better described as a long essay than a short memoir. [snip] She broke her own bones, she recalls, “my hands and fingers usually. No one knew. It was a secret.” She used a Mets baseball bat she got on bat day or the hanger. Why? It was “proof I had some value, enough to be fixed.” She recalls that she was no longer sad about her mother’s death, but “distracted.”

Rosie also dangles another clue about her childhood in two sentences. “There were many benefits to having a cast. In the middle of the night, it was a weapon.”

Why she would need a weapon in the middle of the night is not addressed.

Most of “Celebrity Detox,” which a source supplied to me Tuesday, is about Rosie’s life — her mother, her kids, her life before and after "The View."

Your concern for the children is understandable; Rosie may still be in possession of a handgun. I’m giving serious thought to contacting the authorities in her jurisdiction... Give Paula Poundcake a taste of her own medicine.

Gee........

Rosie's a nut.

Glad I finally know the truth about Rosie.

I was soooo uninformed.

Oh, my gosh - I forgot about that picture of her daughter dressed as a soldier - complete with gun and ammo. That was a classic case of child abuse, IMHO.

Why would anyone even want to buy such a book? It simply drives home a point that we are making “promi’s” out of a bunch of nobodies....Paris Hilton is another. In terms of comic relief....Rosie doesn’t even rate in the top 100 of all time.

“There were many benefits to having a cast. In the middle of the night, it was a weapon.”

I'm not sure if anyone that lived in the home at the time or vistited there are whatever is still around but she has put a cloud on anyone that was around at the time.

no dems, I did not, would not, could not and will not buy that book - unless the stores were totally out of T.P.

(And, I won’t buy ‘’I did it’’ by O.J., either.)

Ann Coulter’s next book? Yes.
