What a mess!
Roseanne Barr isn't dealing well with the backlash she's getting for those racist tweets, and the comedienne feels she's being unfairly portrayed by the media and turned on by her castmates.
"She’s in deep darkness and is very remorseful. Being a comedian, she writes stuff she thinks is funny, but it’s always misunderstood. She’s not intentionally hurtful. They all loved each other on the Roseanne set. It really was one big happy family," a source told People.
In the wake of her show's abrupt cancellation, Barr is weighing her options and doesn't appear to want to go down quietly.
"you guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U," she tweeted. "Can you all help me get more followers here? The more I have the more my words will have weight. I am a fighter 4 FAiRNESS in all aspects of US life. I am tired of being smeared-over a stupid mistake erasing 30 yrs of activism," she continued.
"I'm not a racist, I never was & I never will be. One stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting 4 civil rights 4 all minorities, against networks, studios, at the expense of my nervous system/family/wealth will NEVER b taken from me," she added.
The world has been waiting on President Donald Trump to give his opinion on the scandal, since Roseanne on the show and in real life is a Trump supporter, and he finally did... but of course he made it all about himself!
"Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those†made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?" he tweeted just hours ago.
Those 145 characters and the little blue bird can really get you into trouble!

He did it to himself!
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are still trying to navigate the issues in their relationship following his cheating scandal, and it doesn't sound like either of them are having an easy time with it.
"[Khloe and Tristan] are still figuring out their relationship. She’s not dumb — she knows being in a relationship with an NBA player means she will have to deal with drama like this, but she has to figure out what she’s cool and not cool with. He’s well-known for being a serial cheater," a source dished to People.
The reports that claim the couple have been having "screaming fights" aren't true, though.
"That’s just not who she is. She wants a very calm environment for her baby and is trying her best to provide that," the source added.
The NBA star, whose team the Cleveland Cavaliers is currently in the playoffs, feels stretched too thin between the drama, a new baby, and his career obligations.
Actress Brigitte Nielsen is 54-years-old and pregnant!
Sylvester Stallone's ex showed off her huge baby bump in an Instagram photo, and she looks at least six months along! "Family getting larger," she captioned the snapshot.
No word on who the father is, or when she's due.
The blonde bombshell has been married five times and has four sons ranging in age between 23 and 34.
Britney Spears just posted this selfie of her and her sons at their favorite breakfast spot, and it feels like just yesterday they were babies and their parents were still together!
Speaking of which, Brit Brit's ex-husband Kevin Federline has been pushing to get more in monthly child support, and the pop princess is fighting back. The former backup dancer claims the $20K-a-month he already receives isn't sufficient, but the "Toxic" songstress' camp is calling his bluff.
K-Fed's lawyer tells Us Weekly he plans to depose the mother-of-two to get information on her financial status, and that his client just wants "the reasonable needs of their children to be met."
Britney shouldn't have to pay for kids that aren't hers, and he has four of them from different baby mamas!

Ouch!
Brody Jenner will be tying the knot with fiancee Kaitlynn Carter in Bali in the next couple days, but a lot of members of his famous family won't be there for the wedding!
The Hills alum invited his dad Caitlyn and his half-sisters Kendall and Kylie, but none of them felt the need to attend the milestone moment. The transgender reality star reportedly has "work commitments" that she can't get out of, while the supermodel and the LipKit queen didn't even RSVP. What a snub!
"My two little sisters, we never even heard from them. They never even RSVP’d I don’t think. We sent them an invite but we just never heard anything back. Well, they’ll be missed. I would have loved to have had them there," Brody told People.
The 34-year-old has a notoriously strained relationship with his dad, who he feels abandoned him and his siblings after she married ex-wife Kris Jenner in the 90s. Brody is allegedly "deeply hurt" by Caitlyn's decision to choose money over his big day, and it's just deepening the rift between them.

Surprise!
Diane Kruger, 41, is pregnant and expecting her first child with boyfriend Norman Reedus, Us Weekly reports.
The German actress recently raised eyebrows with her oversize gowns at the Cannes Film Festival, sparking speculation that she had a bun in the oven. She's also been spotted turning down alcohol at events for several months. Still, she has yet to confirm the happy news.
The blonde beauty and the Walking Dead star made their public debut as a couple at the 2018 Golden Globes awards, but they've been rumored to be together since March 2017.
Prior to this romance, Kruger was in a ten year relationship with Dawson's Creek actor Joshua Jackson. Reedus, meanwhile, shares son Mingus, 18, with supermodel Helena Christensen.
Reedus should have no problem paying for diapers! The actor just inked a $20 million contract to stay on the hit post-apocolyptic AMC drama.

Here come the excuses.
Roseanne is blaming the racist tweets that got her show canceled on the sleeping drug Ambien, saying that she wasn't operating on her best judgement when she made the remarks.
"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. I will be on Joe Rogan’s podcast Friday,†she wrote on her social media account.
"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 [sic]. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please. hey guys, don’t defend me, it’s sweet of you 2 try, but…losing my show is 0 compared 2 being labelled [sic] a racist over one tweet-that I regret even more," she added.
In case you missed it, the comedian wrote that Obama's former aide Valerie Jarrett looked like "the Muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby," and people were shocked and disgusted.
The fallout is real, too! Not only was Roseanne canceled despite great ratings, but Barr was dropped from her management agency, and reruns have been pulled from Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT.
The lesson here is to be mighty careful with a keyboard, folks!

They already act like an old married couple!
Miley Cyrus went makeup-free for dinner at Soho House Malibu with fiance Liam Hemsworth and a few of their pals over the weekend, and it's crazy how much times have changed! Just a few years ago, the "Wrecking Ball" songstress would have been smoking weed and twerking in her bikini on Memorial Day weekend!
The pair are outspoken vegans, so we imagine the eatery must have some cruelty-free meal options. As for cocktails? Well, the singer has been sober from drugs and alcohol for going on a year now, so it's unlikely their outing was a boozy occasion.
The two are rumored to have secretly tied the knot already, but a new report claims they're still just happily engaged. The nuptials are coming soon, though!
"They have been in love for almost nine years but the timing has never been right until now. Their massive careers, their ages and their families' input has kept them from getting married," a source dished to ET.
"Miley has come up with all sorts of different wedding plans. She is always creative and thinking of new ideas that will make her experience different, but recently she decided she would make it simple. She hasn't announced anything because she is being very secretive, so only their friends will know and at the very last minute. This time they are doing everything their own way," the source added.
They've been together longer than most other lovebirds in Hollywood!
