Roseanne Barr Is Not An Angelina Jolie Fan
Roseanne Barr has taken to her blog again and this time she's doing a little Angelina Jolie bashing.
jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad
pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic
movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as
if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that
will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more.
(just sayin').
And then she gets political. Roseanne is angry Angelina hasn't endorsed Obama for president.
Also miss jolie says she likes mccain too and hasn't decided who to
endorse....huh? Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do
you not know that the african daughter you hold in every picture had
parents who suffered and died because of the republican party's
worldwide economic assault on africa over the last few decades since
reagan? whaaaa...??????!!!! (for that matter, the thai and vietnamese
sons you are photo'd with weekly too!!!? who's pictures you sell to
raise money to help the poor? Their families are victims of America's
right wing military incursions too(...) it might be good for your Asian and African children's self-esteem to know you support Barack Obama, a man of color for the leader of the free world.
WOW. Those are fighting words. Why so angry at the world Roseanne? Really, it's fine if you don't agree with someone's political standings, but to take them to task publicly in such an over the top manner is a little crazy if you ask me. Besides, what has Angelina Jolie ever done to Roseanne?

I think that's a little uncalled for. She seems to be angry at Jon Voight (hence the title of her post) so I don't understand why she's taking it out on Angelina. Fankly it isn't any of anyone's business who Angelina (or anyone else) decides to support or vote for. And the suggestions about her kids are ridiculous. Insinuating that just because you have a child of a certain race (or are a certain race) that you should vote for someone because of it -- that's dumb. Roseanne nees to go back to the trailer park.
Actually Angelina made it everyone's business by her public proclamation of who she was considering voting for. I think Roseanne has the right to comment on it as much as we have commenting on Roseanne. OK she went over the score, but at least she has an interest in politics and actually cares.

From my understanding, Angelina's "public proclaimation" came in the form of a magazine interview -- meaning that she was asked directly who she was supporting; Angelina doesn't seem physically capable of not answering a question. It doesn't seem (though I could be wrong) that she intentionally put out a statement saying that she has yet to decide who she's voting for. And, for that matter, if Roseanne actually cared she would be getting off her butt and doing something, rather than ranting about someone who is busy attempting to save the world. I'm not the biggest Angelina fan in the world, but there is no denying that she at least trys. So whatever, I still think Roseanne had no right to say the majority of the things she said. She's just a has-been trying to get publicity by using Angelina's name -- like I said before, she's simply mad at Jon Voight and his asinine statements.

Who is Roseanne Barr again? What has she done for humanity lately? Slob.
She has to be one of the most pathetic low lifes in hollywood.

Rosanne Bar is a has-been. This is just a publicity stunt aimed at getting her a little attention. The woman is known for being rude, uncouthe and just generally offensive and embarrassing. This earns about 2 yawns in my book.
Why is it that each and every celebrity that decides to blog spell like.. that? They present themselves as complete idiots. Even though Kanye's "squid brains" had me laughing, I wish I could read their words and go "here's a smart person. No wonder he/she's so successful". No such luck.

This makes me SO mad! How much has she given to charity and what the hell has she done for humanity. And I really don't like people choosing a candidate based solely on their party. Be a grown-up and look at the issues and vote for the one who stands most similar to you on them.
Why do these has-beens always bring up Angelina to get some attention? it's down right pathetic. Get a life and stop living it vicariosly through Angeline you fat cow!
fat washed up PIG! i dont like trangelina either but rosie you are a fat disgusting pathetic cow!
At least she's donating SOMETHING. Yes she could cut back on on the ludacris spending and donate more, but 3 million can help alot of people. That's better than nothing.
A reporter from Fox news, Roger Friedman, actually went looking for how much money Brad and Angelina gave away...
"According to the first federal filing for the Jolie Pitt Foundation, the couple put over $8 million into their tax-free instrument. Pitt put in $4,402,317. Jolie donated $4,123,613."

Hell, she does have a point.
Roseanne is a venom-spouting bully. Three million dollars to charity (if that is even accurate) is a hell of a lot more than most people in this world contribute to anything. (Roseanne also speaks as though the wealthy and successful OWE money and subsidies to people--what a crock.) By the way, I am a woman of Asian (Vietnamese) heritage, I love America, I served in the US Army, and I will vote for McCain. As for this slob saying: " it might be good for your Asian and African children's self-esteem to know you support Barack Obama, a man of color for the leader of the free world..." Puh-leeze. That racist sow offends me that my self-esteem will be improved if for Barack Obama is voted President. White lady, you have a lot to learn about Asians--so think twice before you spew. God, I am so mad she'd make such a vapid comment as well as assumptions about Asians like that.
I posted this above, but in 2006 Brad and Angelina gave over 8 million of their own money, and that does not count the 5 million Brad gave to his "Make it Right" in New Orleans
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340208,00.html
First Rosanne is reacting to a statment released to the press a week or two ago from Trevor Neilsen (her advisor) on behalf of Angelina. The statement at that time said that Angie had not decided on a canadiate. The actual statement was a bit of a media grab as no one had even asked Angelina this question recently. Rosanne's blog is not doubt rude. However she is reacting to the fact that not making a decision is supporting the war. Something which Angie has always talked against. Her ponit is well taken that they make millions and only give away the money that they get for selling the pictures of their bio and adopted children. I think that this may even be noticed more now because peoplewill be waiting to see where the 14 million dollars will go from the sale of the twins. It is one thing to say that you give money to charity but another to actually do it. Also people on this site have to realize that many stars give millions of dollars but do not release press statements about it. Mel Gibson for example gave over 10 million to various things but he never released a statement. I am also sure that Johnny Depp and Matt Damon also give but no one knows how much. Brad and Angie always release a statement to the press about their giving but it does not mean they give more than other stars they just they talk about it more. it is also very rude to call out names it makes you people on this blog the same as Rosanne just that your words are aimed at different people.
"peoplewill be waiting to see where the 14 million dollars will go from the sale of the twins" -- What the hell is that supposed to mean, serf? Who is selling twins? Matter of fact, what the HELL are you even yammering about? It's pretty obvious you writing sneakily, attempting to sound neutral, but inserting pretty inflammatory phrases, like the one implying they are selling their twins like chattel or white slaves. WTF??? Who do think you're fooling? Hey, it's like this, Sweetmeat--far better to sell pictures of your twins (as opposed to the TWINS THEMSELVES, as you implied), than have aggressive stalkarazzi snap away and invade your privacy anyway. I mean, why make paparazzi scum rich by letting him have first dibs on pictures? Do you realize how much danger it would be to the Jolie-Pitts, not to mention innocent bystanders? Whoever you are, you can barely contain your hate and jealously for Angelina, can you? Go commit suicide, Sweetmeat.
Roger Friedman from Fox looked into where they give to charity...
"According to the first federal filing for the Jolie Pitt Foundation, the couple put over $8 million into their tax-free instrument. Pitt put in $4,402,317. Jolie donated $4,123,613."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340208,00.html
How do know that Mel Gibson gave away 10 million dollars? If it was completely private then you would not know about it. I believe that he gave money away, but how did you find out about it if nothing was said about it?
When Brad and Angelina give money to something they can bring more attention to that cause and some causes announce they received a donation it isn't even Brad and Angelina making that statement.
Trevor Neilsen (her advisor) released that statement because according to reports both parties had approached Angelina for an endorsement.
Rosanne should not go around attacking people and their children because of their political beliefs.
Brad and Angelina never realise statment how much they gave. The people who recived the money talk about it. we heard how much Jhonny gave money to the hosptial, we heard how much opera spend in south african school. etc. If melgibson gave 10 million how do you know about it? some one has to say it isn't it? The attack on brad and Angie just because they walk the walk is nothing but jealousy.
Rosana is crazy. last time she was bashing opera for choosing Obama . calling her racist etc. now she is bashing angie for telling she is not decided. She is st*pid cowl

I'm sure she isn't high on Brad and Angie's list either, so I call it a wash.
All she is doing is calling Angelina out for being a self indulgent, superficial fraud. Hello are you people blind or are just just so obsessed with the whole Angelina/Brad circus that you fail to see that reality in it? Wake up and stop thinking these people are role models or that they are doing anything worthy of praise and/or admiration. They are not they are pigs who are doing nothing short of hording children. Its so gross and what is even more pathetic is that people buy into this shit. WAKE UP.
It is sad when people get attacked for doing good things. People that hate this couple act like Brad and Angelina have murdered someone. They are not hurting or killing anyone with their charity work.
I don't think the refugees who have benefited Angelina's charity work would agree with you. Neither would the citizens in New Orleans receiving help from Brad's "Make it Right"
"According to the first federal filing for the Jolie Pitt Foundation, the couple put over $8 million into their tax-free instrument. Pitt put in $4,402,317. Jolie donated $4,123,613."
Plus the 5 million Brad put in to jump start "Make it Right"
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340208,00.html
what is up with people backing up this ''false prophet'' Obama? Do you think he will change anything? American political institute is built on politics of continuity and it does not welcome changes at all. Democratic Congress promised to end the war or at least cut back on spending. What have they done? Appropriated more money to support Bush's war. The fact of the matter is Barack is just as bad as John McCain. Do not expect any change. He is obviously being backed by some powerful individuals who prefer to stay in shadows. He is also pretty weak and he will be easy to control. He is just another marionette. Wake up and smell the coffee. Both candidates are very bad.

roseanne and courtney love need to hang out and blog together. it's hilarious/pathetic. who gives a sh*t about EITHER of their opinions about other celebrities? they both are constantly lashing out at others in a very public way, and it hardly ever seems provoked. so. petty.
I remeber watching Roseanne and loving her thinking she was great, but how dare she turn around and say such vile things about Maddoz, Pax and Zahara? Who is she to judge Angelina? "or do you not know that the african daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the republican party's worldwide economic assault on africa over the last few decades since reagan" This In particular made me sick! ANgelina adopted Z to take her away from this, and how dare she use the children as an attack, I think it's awful and i've lost any repect for her. yes she has every right to ahve her opinion but how can you get so mad at one person because theyd on't agreew ith you? I think it's absurd!!And Childish!! This attack seems aimed at John Voight more than anything. I think fine have your opinion bu don't throw you're toys out of the pram bacuse someone thinks differently to you, don't turn your nose up at 3 million dollars donated to charity and the £14 million that went to charity for the new babu pictures, people have sold baby photo's and kept the money and that's fine but The Jolie- Pitts are not wrong for doing this. What a horrible way to look at the world, and I feel bad for her in a way to have such a vile view of life. Again, bringing teh children into it has completly ruinedany argument she may have had and Maddox is actually Cambodian!

This came from out-of-nowhere! I fully support that it's a publicity stunt from Roseanne. I'm surprised to find that it's working (as we're all talking about it... because, really, who checks Roseanne's blog in the first place??). As for the content of the blog, it really can't be taken seriously! It's her biased opinion, which she tried to beef up by throwing around numbers which aren't valid. Also, while it is true that they make millions and only donate a portion of this, they are also seen donating their time. They spend their own money to go overseas to volunteer. Angelina also serves as a UN ambassador, which I think should count for a lot! Furthermore, they are raising awareness to issues like child poverty and starvation, in a much more subdued yet effective manner. Roseanne may or may not have an interest in issues like these, but ranting through an online blog does nothing to draw positive attention to the issues or produce tangible benefits for the people who are suffering. I just think Roseanne is beyond immature for writing this. It's obivous that she didn't think this through before she started ranting. If she had some actual facts, and wasn't hypocritical herself, I might take her seriously. But honestly... this is just pathetic.
it's about time someone said something worthwhile about angelina. everyone else is like "blah blah blah she's super-mom!!!", no, she stinks. she's addicted to babies and she's insaaaane. she needs to be forced to stop adopting, and i dunno, i don't think a big sandwich would hurt.
Is it hard to believe that maybe Angelina just wants a big family and loves kids. There are thousands of family's with six or more kids, I don't think they would like to be told that there is something wrong with that.
Why does it bother people that she has six kids, you don't have to raise them or take care of them. She has time to take care of them, her manager said she only works 40 days a year.
My grandmother had six kids and they all turned out fine and had enough attention growing up.
You're obviously brilliant.

anyone votong for mccain can have all the troops and iraqi civilians blood on their hands. Anyone who supports this war needs to google some war pics of little infants babies being killed (caution extremely graphic and stomach churning) along w/ their family. Do you know that we give Israel 5 million dollars a day on average for their war weapons. This is fact. Please google this and vote against this war. Oh and roseann is a bitter crazy woman. I wonder how much $ she has donated to charity.
the fact that you think the war is going to end just because obama is president is hysterical and could show your lack of knowledge on the subject also :)

Jealous much? I wonder how much of her annual salary Roseanne has donated. I'm bad at math, but $3 million is like 10% of their salary! And how dumb of Roseanne to say Angelina should support Obama because he is a "man of color". That is just plain stupid. I can't believe she would even say something so stupid out loud!! I'm sorry, but anyone who votes for someone just because of their race is SO ignorant!! I know there will be some people who will vote for Obama because he is black and some people who won't vote for him because he is black. I hope these votes cancel each other out. Skin color doesn't determine if they will be a good leader or help you determine if you and the candidate share the same beliefs. Aren't we trying to keep race from being an issue in this election? I don't know who I am going to vote for, either, but my decision sure won't be based on the color of their skin!! Way to go, Roseanne! After she intentionally butchered our national anthem, she's really the last person to give advice on being a good citizen!
True. People with white guilt should stop bellowing about the importance of voting for Obama because he's black. If that's his main selling point...
Wow, jealousy issues, anyone??
The things some shallow people do to keep their face out there!! Yikes.
She called Brad Pitt vacuous. LOL.
i think rosanne is an uneducated piece of scum herself-- she can only draw publicity with her foul mouth antics, and pertraying herself as a piece of white trash! who is she to look down on anyone as remarkable and humble as the jolie pitts??? really what the hell has rosanne done--- EVER??

She did not use the right words to express herself... but she is saying a lot of truth. Sorry she didnt get on the good side of all Angelina worshipers.
Glad she said it. AND, we don't know how much she or most celebs have given to chairty because only Holie makes sure to the alert and press, and even then she's a liar.
Angelina and Brad DO give money away, they don't lie about that. The media follows Brad and Angelina's every move. They do not announce everything considering a reporter from Fox news had to go digging for this....
"According to the first federal filing for the Jolie Pitt Foundation, the couple put over $8 million into their tax-free instrument. Pitt put in $4,402,317. Jolie donated $4,123,613."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,340208,00.html
And you showed just how immature you are by calling her "holie"
There are ALOT of celebrities that are being followed everywhere and they are donating LOTS of money but they tend to keep it hush hush. They are doing it because it comes from the HEART and not for publicity.....
sorry but she's right!!!
I think she's right. If Angelina and Brad are so concerned about EVERYTHING they would quit reproducing. Overpopulation is right up there with all of our other detrimental world dieseses.
Angelina has only been pregnant TWICE, she did not plan twins. She adopted her other three children.
From what I learned in Biology class, there is a Total Fertility Rate. A rate of 2.1 is replacement level, which means women should have two children to replace her and her husband. So Angelina has done her part.
Even though I am Anti Republican, its not my busness who anyone supports, and everyone has the right to support who they want to.. As much as Angie and Brad have done for the world through action or money, She should be ashame of herself for that nasty rant... What a ugly cow..

I find you hysterical. Whats wrong with liking a presidential hopeful who also wants to end the war? I would rather vote for a man that WANTS to end it Instead McCain wants to find Osama Bin Laden & "take care of" Iran. That is a direct quote. I follow both of their plans very closely so how do I have a lack of knowledge on the subject? McCain does have some good ideas but overall my man concern is the war. I will vote for someone who wants to end a war, not continue on the path. Why cant Obama help end the war? Is it so unrealistic?
neither candidate will end the war. wanting to stop it does not mean it will be stopped. there are huge money at stakes, yes there are people who made and keep making billions on this war. It is in their direct interests to keep it going.Price of the gas is not due to the dwindling supply though the supply is not infinite, it is directly due to the war. It is in someones interests, do not you see it people??!!!! Wake up! To the masses race issues, gay issues are being thrown from the top to create a smoked screens and to have people hotly debate these subjects while billions are exchanging hands.
First of all, Roseanne may be a has-been, but she can have opinios too. Not only the famous and beautiful have opinions. I don't think what she says it's so over the top, she is famous for being controversial, and I agree with some of the things she says. But her main argument is wrong, like anonymous 02:35 points: obama will not end this war, he doesn't even have the intention.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion but Roseanne Barr would come across a lot more intelligent if she refrained from using such a bad language. Also, she has no idea (none of us has) how much money Angelina Jolie gives to charity. I'm not a fan of Roseanne Barr (never have been and after this I certainly never will be), so I don't really understand why she's ranting about Miss Jolie and her dad so much... any fan here who can shed some light if there is any history between them?
You can take Roseanne out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of Roseanne. Geez, what bitter, hateful mass of a blob she is. Angelina, it's nice to see a free thinker in Hollywood....You Rock! You're an asset to the world. Roseanne, you suck!!!

Woa Nilly! This is ROSANNE people. Firstly, I really enjoyed her show, it was very down to earth and REAL. Her sense of humor and experiences in life brought a lot to that. She still works, is still a celebrity, not A-list necessarily. Just sayin', I wouldn't judge her based on her celebrity or the fact that she's overweight. (Why is it people always jump to the insult, "Well what do you know, fat cow!" When someone who's carrying extra weight says something they don't like? Man people suck.)
As for what she said...I wouldn't expect anything less from Roseanne, who would? But I've been a fan of hers for awhile and know she has a habit of blurting stuff when she has an opinion about something. She may regret this one terribly though. And in her defense again, she's an equal opportunity offender. She really has opinions about everyone and everything and doesn't give a rip about what anyone thinks.
In general, this country is TENSE as hell about politics. Add to that the social tension we've had in this country for so long over race and it's easy to see how so many people have such strong opinions about this election, regardless of whether you're a celebrity or not (celebrities have a right to their opinions too!).
Angelina and Brad are an easy target I guess, and that is really something they've chosen. Regardless of how much good they do, they will be endlessly criticized...that's just the role they have. I'm sure they could care less. They are happy. And Roseanne isn't the first to rant about them, I'm sure she won't be the last.
Who isn't a hypocrite these days?

I'm not a big Roseanne fan, and I don't always like her views on things. But this is one of those times she's bang on, and I'm glad that someone in Hollywood has the ballz to expose the likes of Brangelina for the fakes they are. People really do need to open their eyes about Brangelina. There's no way you can compare the self-indulgent fancies of this couple to that of anyone else. Yes, lots of people have mulitple children of their own, and some even adopted. But Brangelina's making a sport out of how many needy and biological children they can collect in a short amount of time, while using them for financial gain via PR. If they truly practiced what they preach, I'd have no problem with them. But they're the world's biggest media players and everything they do is for show, and their so-called charitable endeavors are NEVER followed thru on. Check for yourselves and see.
