Rosie O’Donnell just got herself blacklisted by the most powerful woman in American media — Oprah Winfrey. According Page Six

Nobody says no to Oprah Winfrey - except Rosie O’Donnell. Insiders say Winfrey wanted to have her on her show to talk about O’Donnell’s book, “Celebrity Detox,” which bashes Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Donald Trump and others. But while many would kill to be on Oprah’s program, which sells books by the boatload, O’Donnell declined. “She’s doing an interview with Diane Sawyer instead,” our spy said. Cindi Berger, O’Donnell’s rep, 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.”

Oprah’s response?

What have I ever done to make her treat me so disrespectfully? If she’d come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined her daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest woman like herself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.

Then she calmly finished wrapping up the carp in newspaper, tied it with a piece of twine and spat on it before making the sign of the cross. You know she’s totally going to make Rosie an offer she can’t refuse. Something good, like wagon full of Twinkies or a lifetime supply of flannel. Or maybe just a shot gun barrel to the side of the face. One way or another, we’re going to be seeing Rosie O’Donnell on Oprah. Trust me. Never go against the Winfrey.

Rosie’s lame-ass haiku’d take on the situation (from her website) after the jump

ms winfrey

the book
was hard 2 write

things i could barely say aloud
alone in a room
made their way to the comp
thru the key board
or tape recorder

writing is
4 me
by far
the most revealing medium
2 work in

i do not feel ready
to discuss or defend
the things i shared
on those 209 pages

read it urself
take away what u need
leave the rest
it is what it is

the goal always is peace
self revelation
sharing - learning - teaching
balance
wax on wax off

for now
i decided no interviews
about celebrity detox
it is too raw

my no
has nothing 2 do with anything
but me
my need 2 find my place
within

oprah is a force of nature
her invitation made me cry
her kind words about the book
reinforces what we all know
2 b true about her

although fueds seems 2 b all the rage
there isnt one
regardless of what u read
or see on fast food tv

with pure intent
comes pure result
we pray

off 2 b dawn budge
in the other holy land
peace out peeps
