Unrecognizable Roseanne Dances on Coffee Table Before Podcast Return
Roseanne Barr turned a coffee table into her stage – and fans barely recognized her.
The 73-year-old sitcom legend shared a cheeky clip of herself in polka-dot socks, grooving to “Fight the Power, Part 1” inside what appeared to be a family home – with kids playing in the background. Ditching her signature blonde wigs, Barr rocked short gray hair, a bold choker, and black velvet overalls as she hyped her podcast return.
She captioned it: “How it feels to be right all the time. #roseannebarrpodcast coming back this Friday!” Supporters flooded the comments, calling her “timeless” and praising her “killer moves.”
After a hiatus, she’s officially back – and according to the episode description, she’s “bringing receipts” and staying “unfiltered, unapologetic, and sharper than ever.”
Safe to say… classic Roseanne is back on the table.
The Double Tragedy That Has Rocked Martin's Family
Martin Short has faced life’s cruelest punchline.
Fifteen years after losing beloved wife Nancy Dolman to cancer, the comedy icon is now mourning another devastating family tragedy – his and Nancy’s adopted daughter, Katherine, died by suicide at 42.
The Only Murders in the Building star, 75, once called Nancy’s death “absolutely horrible,” but shared how he coped: “I believe Mom has zoomed into our souls.” He previously said of their marriage, “Our marriage was a triumph. So it’s tough,” adding, “She died in 2010, but I still communicate with her all the time.”
In a statement confirming Katherine’s death, the family said: “The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time… Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”
Sometimes, even the funniest man in the room can’t escape tragedy’s spotlight.
Kamala Teases a 2028 Run — Ready for Round 2?
Kamala Harris miiiight not be done with the White House just yet.
During a candid chat with podcaster Sharon McMahon, the former VP was asked point-blank, “Will you run again?” Her answer? “I haven’t decided.” Pressed further – “You’re still thinking about it?” – Harris teased, “I might.”
Cue the 2028 chatter.
After a rocky 2020 primary run and a 2024 general election loss to Donald Trump, Harris’ political future remains a hot topic – especially as some Democrats question past campaign strategy. Senator John Fetterman recently criticized party rhetoric, saying, “When Vice President Harris referred to President Trump as a ‘fascist,’ I knew absolutely we lost the plot at that point.”
He added, “I refuse to call my fellow citizens fascists or Nazis.”
As for Harris? She’s not ruling anything out – and in politics, “I might” is basically a trailer.
Kelly Shows Her $27M NYC Home Buried in Snow
Kelly Ripa’s $27 million Manhattan mansion just became a snow globe… and she gave fans a front-row seat.
The Live host, 55, showed off her rooftop terrace buried under more than a foot of snow as NYC streets, bus stops and even Central Park disappeared under a winter wallop. Set to Bobby Short’s “New York, New York (It’s A Helluva Town),” the dramatic tour screamed blizzard chic. Click here to see.
Still, the show went on. “It is a snow day around here and [executive producer Michael] Gelman is stuck in Florida, so we are running the show, everybody!” Ripa quipped. After “rushed home from Palm Springs and the 80-degree sunshine,” she and Mark Consuelos even “spent the night in a hotel” to make it in.
Carson Kressley, meanwhile, nearly had to “sacrifice the Pradas.”
Snowstorm? In this town, even the blizzards get stage time.
Barbra Skates Into Hot Water Over 'Tone-Deaf' Alysa Post
Barbra Streisand went for gold… and ended up skating on thin ice.
After Alysa Liu’s big Olympic win, the 83-year-old icon posted: “We were so happy to see Alysa Liu win the gold medal in Milan yesterday.” She added, “I’m so proud of her. I heard that she is half Chinese. My second family in Brooklyn that lived above us was a Chinese family called the Choys...”
Cue the internet meltdown.
One critic mocked, “‘How do I make her gold medal winning accomplishment by an Asian woman about me?’ - Barbra probably.” Another called the caption “a wild ride,” while someone else declared it “legendary caption. Like wtf lol.”
The EGOT winner likely meant well – but social media wasn’t buying it. Because in the age of Instagram, even legends can slip on the ice.
Candace Faces 'Creepy' Backlash Over Erika Kirk Tease
Candace Owens just dropped a trailer – and the internet dropped its jaw.
The commentator unveiled Bride of Charlie, a new investigative series zeroing in on Erika Kirk’s public life after husband Charlie Kirk’s assassination – and critics are not amused. Social media quickly blasted the project as “both creepy and exploitative,” with one user declaring, “Shame on her and her supporters,” and another fuming, “It doesn’t get much lower than this.”
Still, Candace’s fans are cheering her on. “Amazing trailer! Can’t wait!” one supporter gushed, while another insisted, “The truth is all that matters!”
Owens has repeatedly questioned Erika’s leadership of Turning Point USA, even alleging she staged moments for the camera. “The worst part is that it wasn’t her friend recording it,” Candace wrote, later adding, “It is the general tone that is off-putting… That’s moving pretty quickly to the acceptance phase.”
Love it or hate it – the drama is just getting started.
