Roseanne Barr

In a February 2, 2012 statement, Roseanne announced she has filed the official paperwork necessary to run for the Green Party nomination for president of the United States. Miss Barr, a long-time supporter of the party, says she looks forward to working with people who share her values, claiming the two major parties (Democratic and Republican) aren't serving America. The Green Party, an electoral alternative to a two-party system whose first priority is value-based politics, will select its 2012 Presidential candidate at a convention in Baltimore in July.

In a Wednesday, September 23, 2011 tweet, Roseanne announced that the Lifetime cable network opted not to pick up a second season of her reality show Roseanne's Nuts. Miss Barr's Twitter message also included a thank-you to her fans for watching the series, which documented her new life in Hawaii, where she lives on a 46-acre farm with 2,000 macadamia nut trees. Roseanne's Nuts premiered in July to 1.6 million viewers and was the fourth most-watched unscripted series launch in network history. However, viewership slowly declined, dropping to just 629,000 viewers for its season finale after Lifetime moved the show from Wednesday to Friday nights.
