Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip, Internet,
Roseanne Barr is not happy with the executives over at NBC - where she was developing her comeback television series - and she evidently wants the internet to know the extent of her anger.
The comedienne took to social networking site Twitter to unleash her disapproval with the NBC suits, pointing out that she gets treated differently than younger women in the industry, despite her career: "women who have achieved far less than me are allowed to write their own shows, bit I’m constantly forced 2 work w a censoring ‘show runner.’"

Roseanne Barr: New Lifetime Star?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, Gossip,
Roseanne Barr is going to back on TV thanks to Lifetime.
The cable channel is doing a Roseanne-centric reality series based on the comedienne’s efforts to run a macadamia nut farm. And we’re not making any of that up.
The 40-acre farm is located on Hawaii’s Big Island. Roseanne will be working with her boyfriend Johnny Argent and her son Jake in a “take-no-prisoners approach in shaping a Utopian dream for herself and her loved ones.”
And their dream, we guess, is to run a nut farm. To each their own.

CBS Brings Back TV Duo Sara Gilbert and Johnny Galecki
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip,
CBS will reunite two former Roseanne stars on the new comedy The Big Bang Theory. Johnny Galecki, who once played the husband of Roseanne’s daughter Darlene, stars in the new series as Leonard. Together with onscreen pal Sheldon (played by Jim Parsons), the two focus their attentions on a pretty neighbor played by Kaley Cuoco. Sara Gilbert will appear on the series, joining her former on-screen husband (Galecki) for an unspecified number of episodes. Gilbert will play Leonard’s co-worker and love interest on the series, though no one seems to know how long this will last, and it’s probably ratings that will decide. During her stint on ABC’s Roseanne, Gilbert earned two Emmy nominations.

Could Roseanne Replace Rosie?
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Syndication, Gossip, Rumors,
After Rosie O’Donnell’s announcement that she’ll be leaving The View, the rumor mills were buzzing about possible replacements. Potential candidates mentioned include Kathy Griffin, Joan Rivers, and Connie Chung, among others. Looks like we have a front runner though with Roseanne Barr, with many speculating that her outspoken demeanor would fill the void nicely. Roseanne responded to the gossip, saying, “I would love the chance to do that… I think I would do a real good job. I’d stir up some real good controversy.” I’m willing to bet after the dust settles when Rosie leaves that the producers (and head Viewmaster Barbara Walters) may just want to steer clear of controversy for awhile. After all, O’Donnell provided more than her fair share of that.
