Thirteen hours after Roseanne quit Twitter, she came back on it with several retweets and one written by herself. She wrote, “Don’t feel sorry for me, guys!!-I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people,and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet.”
If she were a late night host, then she would use some of her personal money to make sure the people who lost their jobs are taken care of like Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Leno all did. But she won’t because when has she has done anything for anyone but herself?
Talking about late night, Kimmel weighed in on her firing on his show. The ABC late host said, “We don’t have much on this network. We’re hoping the NBA finals go 11 games this year. We are still airing America’s Funniest Home Videos. Roseanne was a very bigly hit for ABC and we needed it.” That is such an understatement. They really really really needed it, did I say really.
Kimmel also suggested what his network should do and that is to just rename the sitcom Dan and have everyone else still be part of the show. Or as he put it, “with all the cast members you love.”
While that his suggestion, this is mine. On Tuesdays have Modern Family at 8p and Speechless afterward. Then on Wednesday The Goldbergs leads the night, followed by its spinoff Schooled, American Housewife goes to 9p and Single Parents closes the night. Finally make it Retro Fridays with the ’90s based Fresh Off The Boat leading off the night and then take it back to the ’70s with The Kids are All Right at 8:30p. I can’t think of what else they can do to save their fall. What do you think they should do?
UPDATE: Roseanne does not want people to stand up for her because, “guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please. ty.” She also released the below statement.
Before Anne Hathaway lived in a castle in Princess Diaries, she lived an average house and her boyfriend’s family were selling their home with Better Homes & Garden. Do you think in 1997, when she was 14, her “face looked like a potato and a chipmunk had a baby and it was” her like she told Stephen Colbert it did on The Late Show last week?
America Ferrera was the last member of the Sisterhood to trade in her Traveling Pants for diapers, but she is finally is like the rest of them. The actress broke the happy news on social media when she wrote, “When 2 become 3…Welcome Sebastian Piers Williams – aka Baz! Mom, Dad, and Baby are happy, healthy and totally in love! 😍😍😍.” No word when he was born; but by the looks of his foot, it was not that long ago.
This is her and Ryan Piers Williams’ first child. The proud parents will be celebrating their 7th wedding anniversary next month.
The Superstore actress was not the only one to break baby news on Instagram today, American Pie’s Chris Kline welcomed his second child with his wife, Laina Rose Thyfault. He wrote, “This Saturday 5/26 at 2:25pm my wife @lalalainarose gave birth to our second beautiful miracle. Isla Rose Klein. 8lbs 7oz of healthy baby girl. Laina and Isla took the journey together with Courage, Strength and Epic Grace. My Girls, I am so proud of you and so grateful that you were delivered safely back to me. I love you Laina. Thank you for making me a father again.”
The couple, who will celebrate their third wedding anniversary in August, also have a son, Frederick Easton, who turns two next month.
Finally, Josh Brolin and his wife, Kathryn announced that they have a baby girl on the way, but did not say when she will be here. This is his third child, he has a son Trevor, 29, and a daughter Eden, 24, with Alice Adair.
His co-star, Jon Cryer, had one simple question to that notion, “What could possibly go wrong?” I would simply use the words of Elizabeth Barrett Browning and say, “Let me count the ways.”
What makes this so Hollywood is a small world, is the Roseanne revival’s EP is Bruce Helford, who worked on Charlie Sheen’s last sitcom Anger Management. 2.5 Men was created by Chuck Lorre, who wrote for Roseanne the original time around. So it is like Hollywood coming full circle if it were to happen.
When it comes to will Hollywood pick this up? They got rid of one headache today, why would they give themselves another one? Even though I would welcome it.
