Roseanne: "I'm Probably Not Right" for The View

"Sometimes I think they're just saying it because we're both named Rosie and fat." That's one of Roseanne Barr's comments to E!'s The Daily 10, with regards to rumors that she might fill the seat-cushion divot left behind when Rosie O'Donnell exits The View. Though Rosie O has told Rosie B it's unlikely Babs will come a-calling — "They want someone they can control," Barr says Rosie told her — Roseanne is open to the prospect, if only to offer the POV of someone "who actually works for a living" and "talk about things that real women want to talk about."

For that very reason, however, Barr is bearish on her chances. "I mean, I think the public schools should be talked about every single day. And health care, and jobs. Plus, I don't give a damn about celebrities. So I'm probably not right for that show."

LOL. Sounds like the straight-talk express.

I'm not a big fan of either Rosie or Roseanne, but if there is a think like some tact in either it is probably Roseanne. And agreeing with the previous comments, having her put down the gauntlet upfront is refreshing (although likely a deal-breaker).

Kudos Roseanne!

Is anyone else sick of JOY on the VIEW....she is about as bright as a black bulb and yet she thinks she is so smart and savy. Another comedian/entertainer who thinks since she has a medium to spew her lack of intelligence that she can!!! I'm so sick of her.

I love Roseanne but she's right. I think Kathy Griffin would be fantastic. She's funny, smart, and doesn't take any crap.

the show sucks and I'm sick and tired of the old hags. The only one with any guts to stand up to fat Rosie is Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
