Unless you've maintained one of your own, it's difficult to describe how addictive keeping a blog can be. Having a corner of the internet people visit just to read your words and thoughts on life and issues can make an ordinary housewife feel like an A-list celebrity.
So you might guess it would be easier for a celebrity to give up their blogging habit, as they already have opportunities in the limelight and have supporters and fans outside the internet. Rosie O'Donnell, who just announced plans to take a blogging break for the month of August, begs to differ. Her most recent blog post read:
i am taking off august
in blog-ville
2 c if i can
rosie unplugged
happy summer peeps
peace in
peace out
The opinionated former talk show host shared with People magazine, "I'm wondering if I can do it. Every time I watch [the TV show] Intervention I'm like, 'They need this show for people who need to get off their computers!' My real addiction is the computer and the blog."
Some things Rosie could do to help survive her non-blogging month:
-
Take the kids to the beach
-
Create toupees for Donald Trump out of craft supplies
-
Prank call "The View"
-
Cover Elizabeth Hasselbeck's toilet seats with plastic wrap
-
Drop in on Martha Stewart around mealtime
-
Volunteer







1. If any other blogger on the web wrote as poorly as she did, they would be shunned and their intelligence would be called into question. Instead, Rosie writes like that and its supposedly fabulous.
Good riddance for the month. Stay away!
