An Early Target of Rupert Murdoch, Roseanne Barr is Enjoying His Downfall (VIDEO)

by Jason Hughes, posted Jul 20th 2011 4:55AM
Roseanne Barr, 'Chelsea Lately'Roseanne Barr is doing much better now, thank you very much. She told Chelsea Handler on 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on E!) that when she first got famous, "I kind of lost my mind. You know, like Charlie Sheen."

One of the things that helped push her mental state toward unhealthy was constant media interference. It may not have been as intense or immediate as what we see celebrities put up with today, but it was pretty intrusive nonetheless.

"I'm so happy to see Rupert Murdoch's stuff crumbling," Barr said. "When he came to our country, I was one of his first targets. He tapped my phones and people went through my garbage, and all that kind of stuff does kind of drive you crazy."

A lot of people are enjoying the unfolding Rupert Murdoch scandal, but Barr seems to be taking particular delight in it. We'd imagine a lot of other celebrities who've been equally targeted by the press over the years are hoping this will usher in a positive change in the media. Time will tell.

Who cares what this fat ass has been has to say about anything. Have we forgotten about her un American actions. Rupert Murdoch is and will continue to be a strong force in Media. He will get through this without any damage to him or his vital network of media. He will punish those who did wrong, and move on. Unlike MSNBC who have many of their on air morons doing and saying terrible things on a weekly basis about anyone who does not agree with them with MSNBC doing nothing about them. But no one ever said MSNBC was either fair or balanced. Actually they are very un-balanced. They should all be in straight jackets along with fat ass Barr.

Actress? You surely use the term loosely! NOT an actress, a pig, maybe, but, actress, never!

Roseanne Barr is a rag dog! How dare she compare herself to Charlie Sheen? Is she on drugs? I can't stand her; I would wish the same for her she wishes for Mr. Murdoch! She needs to go on back to her nut farm. No one cares about what she likes, thinks or wants. We've had it with that 'has been'! Get off t.v.; go someplace else, we don't want to see your fat, ugly face! You are no longer funny, well, you are FUNNEE, but, not funny!

One more thing. Where are people like this, who have so much money, that they can't help but to fall apart, when thing's go wrong in this country? This is happening in Europe. Why doesn't she take her fat mouth and fat pocketbook and do some good. Maybe help some of the foster kid's, or children with Cancer, or a million other useful thing's that a careing person could come up with. Oh , I forgot,....she has a new show coming on, so she has to make the round's. More money to be made. Isn't it funny how she has to squeeze the Murdoch thing in to get a little more pubilicity.

Be careful, those are strong acusations, hes not dead yet you know. First of all, he wouldn't have to tap your phone, cause her could hear your big fat raunchy voice a mile away. And as for your garbage he would need a back-ho. I guess he made all the others in hollywood fall off the wall also. When are any of you going to take responsibility for your own mistakes and problems? It's alway's someone elses fault, never your own. And remember , as Geen Simmon's say's " there is no such thing as bad pubilicity " Why he would target you, is anyones guess. I guess he made you 400 pounds also right? Listen to Warren Zevon's song " DETOX MANSION " it say's it all. Solong fatty. Wait, I thought you were gone!! Oh no, your turning into a bad penny!!!
