Comic actress Roseanne Barr makes fun of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on her Web site blog, but its not your garden variety celebrity sniping. The so-called “Domestic Goddess” Barr tries to make political points, and in the process calls Jolie the “evil spawn” of her father Jon Voight and calls Brad Pitt “vacuous.”
Barr, who starred in the sitcom “Roseanne” from 1988-97, started off her blog post slamming actor Voight for his conservative politics. But the so-called “Domestic Goddess” soon veered off and turned her attention to Brangelina.
Barr said Pitt and Jolie make about $40 million a year starring in “violent psychopathic movies” and give away $3 million 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.”
In the blog, which Barr posted on Friday, the 55-year-old actress also mocked Jolie’s adoption of children from countries in the developing world, including daughter Zahara from Ethiopia.
“… do you 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?” Barr wrote.
That statement puts her somewhat at odds with Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate she supports. At a widely viewed forum on Saturday, Obama praised President George W. Bush, a Republican, for his President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), an initiative to fight AIDS and other diseases in Africa and around the world. Bush signed a bill last month authorizing up to $48 billion to be spent under PEPFAR.
A spokeswoman for Pitt could not immediately be reached for comment on Barr’s blog post.

“Barr is a pathetic, disgusting liberal. Oh, by the way Roseanne, the Vietnam war was managed by 2 Democrats, namely Kennedy and Johnson. Just love how you said the Republicans were to blame for that war too you pathological liar.

Oooh, I think ya forgot about the pathetic disgusting Nixon bombing Cambodia and Laos, and the way he cut and ran, abandoning our South Vietnamese allies to be tortured and killed to ensure his re-election, ya pathological liar.
lol
;-}
- Posted by Proud2bHumbleFinally, now I have a reason to be a fan of Angelina and Brad. Anybody Roseanne doesn’t like has to be doing something right. Another leftist kook trying to control others thoughts and actions. Brilliant!
- Posted by George QWho in the world does Roseanne Barr think she is?
- Posted by DebbieNOBODY cares about your opinion on anything!
How dare you judge others…
What are you doing for humanity…oh wait…
Taking the “Love Boat Gay Cruise” oh yeah,thats big stuff! Just do the right thing and cast your own vote, and let others cast theres! Try keeping you BIG mouth shut! You are still just a has been,trying to stay in the limelight.
Pathetic and stupid.
Barr is a snappy headed fool in her own medieval world.
- Posted by Jay ArrR Barr is just one of those people who are unhappy with their life, so it makes her feel better to lash out at others and criticize their integrity and well being. She is an insecure, messed up individual. Who seemingly grew up dysfunctional, in 1991 claiming there was physical & sexual abuse, which her siblings are calling her a liar. Has had 3 marriages and 3 divorces and gave a baby up for adoption in 1971. Not that there is anything wrong with her life experiences, she just doesn’t qualify to judge others so harsh. She just falls into the category of millions who don’t have near the intellect to make such judgment on others. Opinions are great! everyone has them, she needs to shut up and keep hateful ones to herself. Nobody cares who she likes and doesn’t like.
- Posted by ValWho in the world cares what Roseanne thinks??
- Posted by katiecAnother example of the media’s incompetence.
Think they would be embarressed to print such
garbage but of course they are not.
Do the recipients of charity care who gives it? Don’t think so.
- Posted by amandaI can’t imagine why Roseanne would choose to single out Angelina for not publicly coming out in favor of a candidate. I am sure that there are others in Hollywood who make tons of money that have not announced their favorite candidate. I just don’t understand what Roseanny feels she has to gain by trying to publicly embarrass the Jolie-Pitt family. Last I knew, I didn’t have to explain to anyone my candidate choice. Why should Angie? Voting is a very personal matter and it is none of Roseanne’s business who Angelina (or anyone else) votes for. I think Roseanne should just stick to what she does best…using that annoying voice to tell (not so funny) jokes.
- Posted by CindyHa. Those without sin cast the first stone.
AJ’s loudest critics have the shadiest backgrounds. Based on that theory reread the above posts
and know which are the skeezels just by their negative comments about AJ. It also sounds like there is some mad jealousy in those words.
Prettier,richer,smarter,etc,etc,etc. no wonder the losers are so critical.
- Posted by TamraI love Roseanne and her show “Roseanne”. One of the greatest shows ever created for television. I also admire Roseanne’s courage for saying what she thinks in a way men are only allowed to speak.
Keep telling it how you see it, Roseanne…regardless of what people say. YOU’VE ALWAYS been this way, so I doubt it is for “attention” as some claim. It’s just you, being, well, you. And I love you for it!!!
- Posted by MattWhile Barr is hardly the messenger of much truth, there is something valid about Jolie’s dubious role in foreign aid, in her tax-deductible sizeable donations, etc. In each, she repairs her image which she periodically self-sabotages by seducing a co-star, married or engaged but hardly ever unattached, and her obsession with maternity and adoptions borders on fanatical. As she’s shown to be on many occasions. The only deal with the “devil” has been to name her goodwill ambassador for her high profile, without much substance behind it or strong moral code.
- Posted by LPDRoseanne is wrong here. Angelina never said she would vote either way yet. So what if she votes for McCain, that does not negate her goodwill and charity towards humanity. Angelina’s actions speak louder than the rest of loud-mouths combined.
- Posted by TeraBarr is a pathetic, disgusting liberal. Oh, by the way Roseanne, the Vietnam war was managed by 2 Democrats, namely Kennedy and Johnson. Just love how you said the Republicans were to blame for that war too you pathological liar.
- Posted by NoobamaPLEASE—these people are SO OVER PUBLICIZED! Can we please get a break from all their noise!
- Posted by DAHey Bill, Pitt and Jolie have a fondation and give their money through their fondation ao anyone ends up knowing how much they give. That what Fox did not long ago, they went trough the taxes of the Jolie-Pitt Fountation and discovered that in 2006 they gave 8 million dollars to several organizations.
But Jolie gives a third of her income to charity since 2001 and there is several people that she help that we only knew years after because she asked them not be revealed.
But that as nothing to do with this, because what apparently bothers Roseanne is that Jolie hasn’t endorsed
- Posted by BTObama. It’s stupid…
she is so desperate. Has she ever done anything to help the world?
- Posted by SoniaOf course Angelina and Brad Pitt play up their generous donations as is they were making such a sacrafice out of themselves, it doesn’t take brain surgeon to figure out that they love the publicity and that giving anything makes anybody feel better, but god, the real recognition should go to Sandra Bullock who when donating $1,000,000.00 to Katrina victims asked not to be revealed as the donator……
- Posted by BillRoseanne’s comments say more about her than they do the Jolie-Pitt’s. I seriously doubt the freakshow that is Roseanne’s family has done much for anyone else. To say nothing of helping heal and conserve ‘Mother Earth’.
- Posted by TamraSo Jolie is “evil” because she hasn’t decided in whom she is going to vote and doesn’t want to announce it? Ahahaha… Is Roseanne insane?
And Roseanne should read what Angelina said about voting, she never said she also like McCain. She said:
“I have not decided on a candidate. I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world.”
- Posted by BTWhat on earth does Obama’s position have to do with Barr’s? Why not also include McCain’s position for a little balance.
While I don’t care for Barr, she does make a point, even if she is a little weird.
