Worked booted over posts supposedly from Roseanne that call her smelly and old

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today/AFP) 8/8/07 — Roseanne Barr has fired an intern who posted a drunken-sounding ramble purporting to be from the veteran comedian on her MySpace homepage.

Barr, 54, the star of long-running US television sitcom “Roseanne,” said in a statement on her website, Roseanneworld.com, that the intern responsible for the bogus post had been sacked.

“I would rather just smell like pee, like old ladies are meant to do. Aloha,” one of the bogus entries on Barr’s MySpace page on Monday said. The postings were swiftly removed.

Barr apologized for the incident. “One of the interns who was administering my MySpace page has been fired,” she wrote. “I apologize for the offensive blogging that went on there last night.”

“I write only at RoseanneWorld.com. I apologize to all on MySpace who received the offensive bulletins. The matter has been handled.”

Barr then joked in a separate entry that the intern in question had stolen a home sex video.

“I am offering 25,000 dollars for (its) return (unless someone would like to distribute it — then I am willing to deal),” she wrote.
