Roseanne Barr
Gossip

Late last month, the 17-year old son of Marie Osmond jumped from his Los Angeles apartment building and killed himself.

It was a tragic event and the reaction of most celebrities was to pass along their sympathy to the family before politely leaving the Osmonds alone. Except for Roseanne Barr, that is.

The former sitcom star has taken to her blog and randomly cited Marie's son's homosexuality as the basis for his death, placing a lot of blame on the Osmond's church and pretty much calling Marie a liar.

She wrote the following:

marie osmonds poor gay son killed himself... because he had been told how wrong and how sick he was every day of his life by his church and the people in it. Calling that "depression" is a lie!

Yet the Osmonds still talk lovingly about their church, saying nothing about its extremely anti-gay Crusade. Marie also has a gay daughter! Hey, I want her and all the gay kids in the world to know that they are just fine being gay and that they deserve love and respect instead of insults and rebuke! I have gay people in my family and my circle of friends and I am kicking bigot ass and taking names!

She continued:

Marie please don't talk about how your faith in your church has helped you get through this one! Please get some integrity and tell that church of yours that you will leave it and stop giving it ten percent of your money if they don't stop trying to destroy your kids' and all gay people's civil rights and dreams and hopes!!

G-d is trying to use you for something good and this is your opportunity! Your church is wrong and on the wrong wrong wrong side of things! Get as vocal about that as you are about your diet. G-d bless you too, Marie.

The only reaction we can come up with to this: WTF?!? Who calls out the mother of a son that just committed suicide?!?

THG readers, send in your most hateful judgments on Roseanne right now...

Apparently Roseanne Barr is still alive. And she is not a fan of Brangelina.

The former sitcom star went on an odd rant via her website this weekend, taking Angelina Jolie to task for saying she was unsure who to cast her vote for in the upcoming presidential election.

"Your evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about $40 million 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," Roseanne wrote.

From there, Rosanne attacked the Wanted star for recently saying she's undecided John McCain or Barack Obama.

Are you on Team Roseanne or Team Angelina?

"Miss Jolie says she likes [John] 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?"

Look, we think Obama is an obvious choice for a country in need of a new, non-senile direction, too.

But we're pretty sure people are allowed to voice their concerns about candidates, while gathering as much information about each before casting their vote, without a washed-up comedian calling them out in public.

Roseanne concludes her blog by writing that "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."

It might be good for you, Roseanne, to realize that you haven't been relevant in over a decade.

The View is in need of a new, overweight, opinionated host.

First, there was Star Jones. But she was fired for being really, really obnoxious.

Next, the ABC talk show called on Rosie O'Donnell. But she won't be returning to a contract dispute that wasn't helped by her accusation that America blew up the Twin Towers.

So now Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar need a fresh, plump co-host to fill the role of controversy-maker.

Enter Roseanne Barr. No, seriously.

Despite having not been in the celebrity gossip spotlight in a decade, the former sitcom star is somehow the leading candidate to replace Rosie. Also in the running - but far too thin, we assume - are Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Griffin and Kathie Lee Gifford.

Yes, evidently "more annoying than Perez Hilton" is also a qualification to host The View.

We'll keep you updated about this pressing situation. In the meantime, Kate Bosworth continues to pack on the pounds in an effort to be considered for the job.
