Probably best not to badmouth others, but I'm not surprised that Roseanne would do it. It did bring her some MUCH NEEDED publicity. I do find Brad and Angie to be so annoying, but hey...whatever...

yay Roseanne for being HONEST and telling the TRUTH

Roseanne is ridiculous, has anyone read any of her rants? They are rarely coherent and full of vitriol. She needs to get a life, she can say what she wants about Brad & Angelina but it's taking it a little too far when she calls their kids "dunces."

Hm. I actually had never thought about how much $ those two make from violent movies...nor the % of it that they give away to that % in which they keep for themselves...

Hm.

give me a break, no one cares about roaseanne anymore unless she does something like this. Does she know them personally? Probably not, so therefore it's just someone's rantings about a couple that people just love to hate.

i laughed when I read this just because two people are "beautiful" and give some money to charity does not make them less of a target. she could have left out dunces but the restjust was hilarious.

I said other. She sounds mentally incompetent. Did she forget her meds or something?!

Rosanne Barr is a crass, loud mouthed has-been. This recent tirade is rude and vulgar, just like she is.

i thought it was silly rant on her part. i mean she raised some points with her argument but it could've been said in a different manner. her tirade was a bit off.

Wow Roseanne, way to try and stay relevant. Guess what honey? You're not. I'm not defending Brad and Angie, God knows I can't stand either of them, but common. That was just uncalled for. What a media wh*re.

Who cares what IT has to say? I guess she has nothing better to do and I really don't know anyone who gives a rats @ss about her opinion.

yeah, it was funny. she really went for the jugular. guess she won't be getting a christmas card from BAMPZSVKWTFSOSIBMELO...

No one shold get mad i mean is it really such a big deal? i mean it's Roseanne Barr it's not like Nicole Kidman said this? It's funny but I doubt the JPs are losing any sleep over it.

And anyone cares what Roseanne Barr says because...? The woman's a wacko with no career, and she barely sounds mentally competent.

Calling young children dunces is never OK, plus Brad & Angelina didn't technically "spit out" all of them. Deducing that Angelina will vote for McCain is also false, since she and her father are estranged and hardly share the same values.

Having said that, I do think that their "philantropy" is a bit too in-your-face and holier-than-thou to be authentic, but it doesn't make it OK for Roseanne to trash their children.

Kinda random but who cares-

its America people, can say whatever you want about whatever.

amen martini

roseanne just wanted free press..since it s been awhile

"i mean she raised some points with her argument but it could've been said in a different manner. her tirade was a bit off."

Yeah, that was my reaction too. Eh, I've always liked Rosanne B. The rant seems kinda outta nowhere but whatevs, I agree with her on some points. Could've said it better. She should've left the kids out of it though.

But apart from the "dunces" she's dead on. Angelina Jolie wears a machine gun necklace - doesn't that seem out of keeping with her "humanitarianism"? These people are shallow and have incomes higher than than 99% of the general population. Why should they? Why shouldn't they devote part of their income to charity? It would be criminal not to. Roseanne's right: Angelina Jolie is a hypocrite whose violent films - all of which are in wide release - undo whatever good she might have done as a UN ambassador by proclaiming that violence is sexy.

Wow good job Roseannne, you got some press! I mean that's all this was about anyway right. Trying to keep your face in the mags and blogs.

I doubt that Brangie will respond to her ridiculous rant, they will certaintly not stoop to her level. And what does she know how much money they donate? Didn't they just donate the $14mil they got for the pics to charity?

Who cares about this woman? Also, why caring so much care for who Angelina Jolie is voting for? Does the fate of United States rests on her?

The woman who spit on the ground while singing the national anthem is talking again? yeah Roseanne you are so 1994

Roseanne is an idiot.

but juicy it does, don't you know? i am sure some of her crazier fans will vote for whomeever she endorses, if she makes it known. they are THAT crazy...

Roseanne Barr Blasts Oprah’s Endorsement of Obama

Friday, January 11, 2008

Former TV star Roseanne Barr blasted Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement of Barack Obama on her Web site this week, calling the talk show host a “closeted Republican.”

“Oprah has given us Swartzenegger [sic] and Dr. Phil,” Roseanne writes. “If that was not offensive enough to decent thinking people, now she brings us Obama.”

Roseanne also “tells” Winfrey, “You are a closeted republican and chose Barak [sic] Obama because you do not like other women who actually stand for something to working American Women besides glamour, angels, Hollywood and dieting!”

Wednesday night, Roseanne wrote, “I have decided that having a woman president before any man of any color is what these times call for.”

But Thursday morning she said she likes Oprah and Obama, and was sorry for coming off harshly.

“I am so sorry for sounding like I don’t like Oprah or Obama. I do. Oprah has been a force for good for a long time, and I just got carried away with my preference for Hilary [sic] over Obama. I think she is smarter and better than he is, but either of them is better than any Republican, and will get my vote no matter who ends up on top.

“I got upset because I felt Oprah was adding to the divisiveness in this country. I am sorry Oprah, I really do admire and love you for all the good you do and have done in this country and the world at large. I am just so worried about another Republican getting in, my stomache hurts and I can’t sleep, and I go over the top sometimes!”

I don't think a woman who writes such incomprehensible drivel should be calling anybody else a dunce. She has a lot of hatred for strangers. That's not healthy.

What I mean is: This is a person who - whether we like it or not - actually has some clout. And she fails to realize that starring in mindlessly violent movies is a conflict of interests. I think Roseanne Barr's right to be angered by it. I certainly am.

What did Brad & Ange do to deserve this bull????
So yeah, she's going way too far!

Roseanne is crazy.

lmao oh my days! Im not a fan of Brad and Angelina but thats just rude....and hilarious at the same time! The Kids part was surely uncalled for...........HOWEVER i applaud her BRAVERY in attacking Hollywoods Royalty...the Untouchables, the holy grail etc etc etc and saying what many people think but arent willing to say for fear of house arrest...

What has Rosanne contributed to making a better world?

"What has Rosanne contributed to making a better world?"

Not having that show anymore.

HOLY TIRADE BATMAN! LOL

Okay, I'm SO not a fan of Brad and Angie, but I have to give them credit for NOT SUPPORTING A CANDIDATE. I repeat my earlier sentiment that Hollywood needs to STAY OUT of politics and let the rest of us make up our own minds. I agree with Roseanne's points about their movies and Brads vacuousness (that really made me laugh) but I disagree with just about every other point she makes.

IF more celebrities would just say "I haven't decided who I'm voting for yet" then maybe we as Americans would take more time to make up our OWN minds rather than let ourselves be influenced by the likes of Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Jon Voight etc etc etc.

I don't blame Angelina Jolie didn't know who she was voting for yet. It is just too hard to decide when there are 2 bad choices.

I'm with kikingus on this one. No need to call the kids dunces but I also think Roseanne has some valid points

Roseanne who?...........

".it might be good for your asian and african children's self esteem to know you support a brown man for the leader of the free world" That's offensive. Support Obama because he's black? Great. That's not racist.

"We want to save not lose our souls thank you. " Vote Obama, save your soul. Nice.

Anyone know how much Roseanne has given to charity?

I voted other because Roseanne is really just a has been in my book. She does raise some good points, but they would have been more well received if there wasn't an undertone of hatred and jealousy. I notice Roseanne did not mention the % of her income that she gives to charity, I bet the % is lower than Brad or Angelina. I'm not an Angelina fan, but I do admit that both she and Brad are attempting to make a positive impact on this world. Just drawing attention to some of the issues is a step in the right direction in my book. What good did Roseanne's rant do?

Also, am I the only one who is offended by the "brown man" sentence? Shouldn't we be looking at more than skin color when determining who to vote for?

I agree kikingus and myperry

i agree pirate33

I don't know who Roseanne Barr is, and I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything.
One thing is sure though, she's right about Jolie and Pitt, who are simply stupid. They make ridiculously violent movies, are in awe at their son being into gun toys (which has nothing to do with his age, and everything to do with the culture of violence he is raised in), and they cry in the media about violence in poorest countries, and wars, and refugees? Logic, anyone?

Bubble, do you think their violent movies have anything to do with the violence in the poorest countries? There's no logical link between the two.

I don't care much for Roseanne but she does have a point. I like Angelina and Brad but they are both hypocrites when it comes to their activism. They both continue to make violent movies and expose their children to it while at the same time going out there speaking for humanitarian issues. Furthermore, a person who values her humanitarian work as much as she does, should not be voting for a candidate like McCain. She wrote that long op-ed piece about the humanitarian situation on the ground in Iraq that shouldn't ignored. What she herself ignored is that McCain himself voted to put the operation that helped to create the humanitarian situation there in the first place!

And before someone goes and applauds them for donating the $$$ to charity, think of it this way: they get a tax write-off for it. The sell the pictures of their kids and don't have to pay taxes. Frankly I'm never going to have much applause for a couple that puts their children in the middle of a bidding war. It's just wrong.

Michelin : No of course not--but her point was that they really can't be decrying the violence in other nations when they act it out for pure entertainment and money as part of their career. Fact is that its sad that we live in a culture where its okay to let kids act out "war" and killing. When did it become okay to allow kids to pretend to kill people? Does that seem right at all?

Someone says it above that Brad & Angie are not losing sleep. Yawn.

beram1220 - I'm with you on this one. I wonder how much Roseanne gives to charity? I'm betting that Brad and Angelina give a much higher percentage of their income to charitable organizations than Roseanne does.

It's hilarious how some people will agree with a has-been like Roseanne just because they have undying hatred for the Jolie-Pitts. Her rant isn't even funny!

hear hear ekaterina. you put it very succinctly...
