Welcome back!

Check out a promo (above) for Roseanne's new Lifetime docu-series Roseanne's Nuts.

For those who didn't realize Roseanne had a show coming out about her nut farm, here's a description of her new series:

When Roseanne recently appeared on The Late Show , she told David Letterman how she gets Charlie Sheen cracking under Hollywood pressure.

One of her first battles with Hollywood scrutiny came during the taping of her sitcom, Roseanna, when she overhead a couple of guys questioning the success of "a show about fat people."

Who were those skeptics? Her very own agent and the show's producer!

So Roseanne felt no shame when she said:

You can lose her mind [here]. I can understand how you can go really crazy like that.

It's true, there is a lot of pressure in Tinseltown, but there's a difference between going crazy and then purposely exploiting the craziness.

Seriously, the guy should still get some hardcore therapy.

We can not even imagine what it would be like to be held captive for 18 years. The things that Jaycee Dugard has gone through are so horrible, we wish we could make all those memories disappear for her.

Though, despite having gone through all that, she is an exceptionally well-rounded and strong individual. It's incredible how she has survived it all. And now, because of an interview with Diane Sawyer and general word getting out, her tell-all book is soaring in sales, especially on Amazon.

Not only that, but she has the attention and sympathy of some of the biggest celebs out there:

Oprah Winfrey: "Failure after failure, neglect in the Jaycee Dugard case sickening. This ought to be a wake up call for the parole system … Don't we love Jaycee's resilience She is remarkable. Much to teach us all. Have pre-ordered the book."

Kim Kardashian: "I'm watching this Diane Sawyer interview with Jaycee Lee Dugard…this is so so sad. Such a shocking story!"

Roseanne Barr: "jaycee dugard is an amazing human being and diane sawyer is an amazingly empathetic interviewer of great skill-"

Real Housewife Kyle Richards: "Watched Jaycee Duggard's interview. Amazing how together she is after all she's been thru. Amazing woman."

We're so glad to see you doing so well, Jaycee. We hope this book of yours does amazingly, because you absolutely deserve that kind of success.

Don't do it, Roseanne!

Have you seen the promos?? It's so sad because we had high hopes, but we feel like it definitely won't last! You should choose something else on television for your face to grace!

“I’m talking to Roseanne Barr to do some guest episodes as my aunt,” show creator/executive producer Chelsea Handler told. “She’s interested in doing it, so it should be fun.”

Not only do we think the show was miscast (sorry, Laura), but we feel like the jokes are tired, the writing isn't strong, and the laugh track is just an abomination.

So, for a very funny woman, Roseanne, we feel like you're totally above this!

Dang do we wish this show was going to be better!

Okay, so maybe you haven't heard about this, but earlier this year, Roseanne got her reality show picked up by Lifetime about her macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.

No, that is not a euphemism for something - Roseanne and her BF actually grows nuts!

Think that's funny? So does Rosie O'Donnell!

Last night, Ro was at the Matrix Awards in NYC, where she was asked to make a speech. Thankfully, she was fairly tame with her topics, but she did take a moment to mock of of her fellow comedienne's, particualry those who don't have their won show coming up on the OWN network. At one point in her speech, she said:

"It's not easy being Rosie O'Donnell's publicist. I'm all happy [now] — I have a new show coming on TV in September. I put on my makeup. I haven't cursed. Without her…I don't think I'd be here. I'd be on the macadamia nut farm with Roseanne Barr."

Hey, you could be worse places!

We're actually going to venture to say that your shows are on equal playing field. Sure, you might have the power of Oprah in your corner, Ro, but the network, as a whole, isn't doing so hot. Roseanne, however, is on a network that had Project Runaway. If her show gets anywhere near that, she's going to have triple the viewers that you have!

Just saying - maybe you should wait till you are both on the air to start mocking!

Wow, Roseanne! Way to put both Charlie Sheen AND Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre in their place!

Here's what Roseanne had to say about the two and a half men on her blog post entitled "Charlie Sheen Makes Me Look Sane":

this thread is for charlie sheen talk and mental illness talk. Charlie is not on drugs, though he can get them from the porn star goddesses that come and go, but his urine shows clean–i think charlie is in a manic high, and is unable to get any drugs to bring him down anymore—his tiger blood statement is from that "eye of the tiger" focus that manics have. Manics can really work hard and play hard at the same time, until they hit a wall, and then they are in bed and depressed for a long time, so they start taking drugs again to get energy to work. Charlie, take a break dude. Go to Greece, Paris, China, look at great art and lay low. you got fired, dude. anybody can do your job, really. other guys are funny and not repulsive to intelligent women, though those shit chuck lorre lines could choke a fucking horse, and render any actor who recites them stone cold soul dead. No grown man could really look himself in the mirror knowing that he delivers shit jokes and adolescent sniggering over breasts and women's body parts lines to the Tea partier types who are big fans of Chuck's hilarious hijinx. I fired Chuck Lorre for being a big drunk on my show, and he went on to become one of tv's most successful writers (about dick jokes). Maybe Charlie can start producing porn movies now!!

Pret-ty intense stuff, Ms. Barr…although we agree with what you're saying about Charlie being manic.

What do U think about Roseanne's unforgiving Charlie/Chuck comments?

Last month, we were excited to hear that Roseanne Barr is returning to television in a reality series, which will "focus on her and her long time boyfriend, Johnny Argent, and her son Jake, as they manage a macadamia and livestock farm in Hawaii."

Now, it looks like Roseanne is in some trouble, because according to Hawaii County, illegal work was done "to move dirt on [Roseanne's] 46-acre Macadamia nut farm."

Getting farmwork done without following the proper procedures???? What a rebel!

Watch out, Lindsay, Charlie, and Xtina! Looks like we may have a NEW troublemaker on the horizon here!

Ha!
