The L’s just keep getting handed to comedienne Roseanne Barr.

Just two days after learning the hit reboot of her classic 90’s self-titled comedy had gotten the boot due to her racist jokes on Twitter, the star learned it would also be snatched from syndication via platforms like TV Land (click here to read more on that).

Despite weigh ins from commentators of every walk flooding the net, Barr was particularly stunned to see some of her own cast mates not only lend their opinions about the matter but also slam the controversial comedienne and distance themselves from the hoop-la.

Needless to say, Roseanne wasn’t too pleased with the action.  Look inside for her responses:

For years, Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner have been accused of having a weird and obsessive relationship with black men and culture.

So, keen to prove that she does care about the community much of her fame and celebrity stock was built on (see her ties to O.J Simpson, Brandy, Ray-J & 3T), the influencer arranged a meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss prison reform.

Why? Her concern that prison system treats people of colour unfairly.

Alas, her efforts have been met with laughter from those who say they through her supposed act.

Anitta is ready for her international arrival.

A superstar on home soil and in the Latin-Pop arena, the Brazilian bombshell is now being tipped for major success on a global scale. And it’s easy to see why.

At just 25, she’s dropped multiple Platinum albums and her flavoursome sound has proven too potent to be confined to one corner of the world. Indeed, amongst her growing fanbase are the likes of Drake, Camila Cabello, and Rita Ora.

A skilled stage-blazer, she’s established herself as live magnet and will be bringing her brand of fire to the UK’s capital next month.

Ahead of her landing, That Grape Juice caught up with Anitta, who spilled on her hotly anticipated crossover project, working on the set with Pharrell Williams, being inspired by Beyonce, and much more.

As ABC disassociates itself from one controversy, a new lawsuit has has thrust the network back into the spotlight of scrutiny.

This time it’s via the estate of Michael Jackson, who have today filed a lawsuit against the channel.

Reps for the King Of Pop had expressed their disapproval of the broadcast of ‘The Last Days Of Michael Jackson’ and now are following through with a legal clapback.

And while MJ’s position as a public figure likely made it difficult to approach any such suit from a defamatory stance, his Estate are centering their filing on copyright. Specifically what they claim is was a disregard for theirs.

Well, damn!  As if pissing off ABC, her former castmates, Hulu, and TV Land wasn’t enough (click here to read more), embattled comedienne Roseanne Barr can now add Sanofi – the creator of the popular sleeping drug Ambien – to her list of offended.

Taking to Twitter after her ongoing backlash reached a boiling point (despite previously promising to leave the social media platform), the actress issued another apology while blaming her racist behavior on the drug.

“…guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too — i went 2 far & do not want it defended — it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please.”“Not giving excuses for what I did(tweeted) but I’ve done weird stuff while on ambien — cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc.”

Needless to say, Ambien makers weren’t exactly appreciative of the implied diss.  Their response inside:

Drake may have shaken the table with his ‘Duppy Freestyle,’ but rival Pusha T is looking to flip it over with clapback ‘The Story Of Adidon.’

A three minute massacre (rapped over the beat of Jay-Z’s ‘Story Of O.J)’, the diss track sees the G.O.O.D Music star fire from all cylinders. He throws jabs at Drizzy over being a deadbeat dad of a secret baby (birthed by a porn star); takes aim at Aubrey’s mom and dad, mocks Noah Shebib‘s battle with multiple sclerosis.

Here’s some of the heat Pusha unleashed…

“A baby is involved, it’s deeper than rap
We talkin’ character, let me keep with the facts
You are hiding a child, let that boy come home
Deadbeat motherf*cker playing border patrol
Adonis is your son and he deserves more than an Adidas press run
Love that baby, respect that girl.  Forget she’s a porn star, let her be your world.”

Listen to the song, which has an interesting cover (to say the least) below…
