The Conners Cast: Roseanne Deserved to Be Killed Off!
If you watched the series premiere of The Conners Tuesday night (for now, we’ll table the debate about whether this really qualifies as a new series), then you know the show wasted no time in addressing the absence of its former title character.
As many predicted, Roseanne Conner died of an opioid overdose, a decision the sitcom’s writers and producers made in response to the real-world actions of the woman who created and portrayed her.
Back in May, Roseanne Barr’s offensive tweet about former Obama staffer Valerie Jarrett prompted the swift cancellation of her eponymous show.
Just weeks later, however, ABC announced a Roseanne spinoff, which would focus on John Goodman and Laurie Metcalfe’s characters, as well as the Conners’ three adult children.
(The absence of a long-forgotten fourth Conner kid — born at the tail-end of the original series’ run — was explained away in Roseanne’s revival season.)
The question of how to dispatch with one of the most iconic sitcom characters of the past 30 years was no doubt a difficult one for the show’s writers to grapple with.
Fortunately, the final episodes that featured Barr offered the opportunity for a poignant resolution.
In keeping with Roseanne’s tradition of addressing the taboo topics faced by working-class Americans, Barr’s character struggled with an opioid addiction last season.
So when the time came to kill her off, an overdose seemed like the most obvious solution, both for the sake of continuity and for the chance to grapple with the kind of tragedy that’s affecting more and more Americans each year.
While the debut episode of The Conners saw a dip in ratings, it was well received by critics.
Predictably, however, the real Roseanne took to Twitter to denounce the decision to kill her character as “disrespectful,” at one point railing:
“I ain’t dead yet, bitches!”
On Wednesday, two of the actors who portray Roseanne’s children — Lecy Goranson and Michael Fishman — appeared on Good Morning America to discuss the obvious anger of their TV mom:
“We really miss Roseanne and love her very much, you know and her spirit is still very much with us, so we understand that she’s hurting right now and she’s in pain and she’s always with us,” said Goranson.
“Hopefully, we can see her and kind of remedy some of this at some point in time, I hope.”
“The tone of the way she passed away was related to last season, and I think you listen to our producers, they really wanted to take a real crisis that’s happening in our country and find a way to give voice to that,” added Fishman.
“I know that the reaction to that is going to be different to different people, but what we’ve always tried to do is tackle big topics and try to be honest about them.”
It remains to be seen if audiences will warm up to The Conners the same way they embraced the revival of Roseanne.
But whatever the case, you can bet Lanford, Illinois’ most famous mom will not be tuning in.

Season 23 of The Bachelor will be upon us before we know it.
We already know a lot of the women who will be competing for Colton Underwood"s virginity … and heart … in early 2019.
A few of them were introduced by Ellen Degeneres and got to make a first impression on the Bachelor Nation.

1. Colton Underwood is the leading man
Colton is 26 years old. He’s hot, he’s a pro athlete, and he’s clearly an emotional guy. But will he be decisive enough to choose between these beautiful women?
2. Hannah Godwin
Hannah Godwin is gorgeous and happens to be friends with Danielle Maltby, whom fans remember from Nick Viall’s season. Hannah also made a great first impression with Colton.
3. Caelynn Miller-Keyes
Caelynn Miller-Keyes is only 23 years old and she is the current reigning Miss North Carolina 2018. Good for her — and good for Colton.
4. Erika McNutt

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Cast: ALREADY Feuding with Denise Richards!
We told you before it was officially announced, folks: Denise Richards is joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
All of the Real Housewives are stars as part of the franchise, but Richards will be among those who were famous for years and years as actresses before they stepped into the world of reality television.
That is why she has reportedly secured a first-rate contract.
We have the details on that below … along with a report from RadarOnline that says that producers are encouraging the other Housewives to not hold back on account of Richards" celebrity status.
Well, at least one of the actress" new costars is already prepared to throw down without pulling any punches.
There"s drama afoot. Take a look:
1. So, Denise Richards is joining RHOBH’s cast
Producers are banking a lot on Denise being a success on the show
2. By banking, we mean cash
It’s reported that Denise is getting $ 1 million for her first season, and even a four-season guarantee.
3. That’s music to her ears
Denise is apparently a huge fan of the series, but everybody likes money
4. And producers have a request for the cast
According to RadarOnline, “Producers have told them they want the drama and not to hold back,” the insider says. “Basically, they don’t want them to be kissing her ass.”
5. One cast member has already volunteered
“Erika has already stood up,” RadarOnline’s source says. “And said she’d treat Denise the same as anyone else.”
6. Erika Jayne is down to throw down
Erika is willing to do conflict with any celebrity. Per the insider: “She said, ‘If I don’t like her, I don’t like her.’”

Teen Mom OG: Look Who"s Joining the Cast Now!
That"s it, reality TV.
We give up. You win.
Every time we think this genre of entertainment cannot get any more absurd or far-fetched, we fire up the Internet or turn on the small screen and we"re proven wrong.
We figured we"d never be shocked again after Bristol Palin was hired to come on board as full-time Teen Mom OG cast member next season.
But now comes word that someone from who past will also appear on upcoming episodes.
Scroll down to see who we mean and prepare for your jaw to hit the floor in 3… 2… 1…
1. Yes, Bristol Palin Really is Joining the Show
This announcement, which we still cannot get over, was made in mid-July, taking all fans by total and complete shock.
2. Is Bristol a Teen Mom?
No, but she was easily the most famous pregnant teenager in the country back when her mother ran for Vice President in 2008 and America learned that Palin, at 17 years old, was expecting a child.
3. What About Now?
Palin has three kids: a son named Tripp and two daughters, Sailor and Atlee. She is divorced from the father of her second two children, Dakota Meyer.
4. Who is the Father of Her Firstborn?
Levi Johnston, to whom Bristol was briefly engaged back during the 2008 Presidential campaign and someone who was rather prominent on the national scene at the time.
5. It’s True!
This goes back a decade, so we understand if some readers may not have been following the news closely back then. But, look, here he is ON STAGE at the Republican National Convention.
6. And Here He Is Shaking Hands with Presidential Candidate John McCain
It was as surreal as it sounds, partly because we cannot fathom how parts of the country would have responded if one of Barack Obama’s daughters was pregnant out of wedlock at the time and her teenage son was making all of these appearances.

Bristol Palin to Join Cast of Teen Mom OG!
Well, she may not be an OG, but she"s definitely one of most famous former teen moms of all time.
TMZ announced moments ago that Bristol Palin is joining the cast of Teen Mom OG in time for the long-running series" upcoming season.
Needless to say, fans of the show are buzzing with anticipation.
TMOG remains a ratings powerhouse, but almost a decade into its run, producers have made no secret about the fact that they"ve been on the lookout for a way to keep things fresh.
Casting the daughter of the most bonkers vice presidential candidate in US history should certainly help them to achieve that goal.
Here"s what we know about the situation so far:
1. The Governor’s Daughter
The daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Bristol first gained national attention during her mother’s vice-presidential campaign.
2. A Reluctant Celebrity
Just 17 at the time, Bristol’s pregnancy was announced while her mother was serving as John McCain’s running mate in 2008.
3. Speaking Out
Bristol made headlines not only for her pregnancy, but for her outspoken views about birth control and abstinence that did not always align with the conservative right so aggressively courted by her mother.
4. Coincidence?
Interestingly, Bristol’s rise to fame coincided with the launch of the 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom franchise on MTV.
5. Big Shoes to Fill
Now, Bristol will be taking the spot vacated by Farrah Abraham, who was fired by producers for either being difficult or refusing to give up her porn career. (It depends on whom you believe.)
6. Up to the Task
It’s impossible to imagine a new cast member delivering as much drama as Farrah, but if anyone on the planet is capable, it’s Bristol …
