Roseanne Barr's Ex Tom Arnold Says His Former Wife 'Wanted' Cancellation 'to Happen'

Roseanne Barr ’s ex-husband Tom Arnold  has weighed in further on the cancellation of his former wife’s iconic ABC sitcom Roseanne –– and her mental state. Arnold, 59, claims the actress was ready to say goodbye to the show after just one season of the reboot. “It had to happen,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Wednesday. “And I am going to tell you the truth, she wanted it to happen , if you saw how her tweets escalated this weekend.” “If it hadn’t happened yesterday, this season would have been so awful for everyone every day because she would have felt like she was taken advantage , just like when I left the show,” Arnold said. Barr, 65, and Arnold were married in 1990 but divorced in 1994. He also worked as a writer on the show beginning in 1988. Arnold suggested taking away Barr’s phone might have prevented her Twitter attack on Valerie Jarrett on Monday. “ABC lost maybe $1 billion from this; this show was grinding out money hand over fist and they

Musician Falls to His Death in Front of Shoppers After 'Clowning Around' on a Mall Escalator

A 45-year-old man lost his balance and fell to his death at a Rhode Island mall on Monday night. The man plunged to his death shortly after he was seen “clowning around and riding the rail of the escalator” a witness told authorities, according to a police report obtained by WPRI. The man — who was later identified as Josh Martin, a veteran guitarist from the Massachusetts grindcore scene, by  Pitchfork  — fell from Providence Place Mall’s second floor around 10:45 p.m. Martin landed in the mall’s food court, slamming his head on a table. He was treated for head trauma at the scene and was transported to Rhode Island Hospital by paramedics, where he was later pronounced dead, WPRI reports. A post shared by Return to the Pit (@returntothepit) on May 29, 2018 at 4:23am PDT The Providence Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request to confirm Martin’s identity as the victim. “It’s quite a big drop,” Providence Police Maj.

Thank you for your support. And, in the spirit of our amazing crew, spread love not hate!” ABC pulled the plug on the sitcom on Tuesday one day after the show’s star tweeted a since-deleted attack on Valerie Jarrett , a former advisor to Barack Obama during his administration. “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj,” she wrote, using Jarrett’s initials in response to a tweeted conspiracy theory about the Obama administr

Khloé Kardashian is looking to get back into “beast mode” again. The new mom, 33, reflected on her post-baby workout routines on her app and website on Wednesday as she shared the struggles of returning to her pre-baby gym sessions. “After I had True , I couldn’t wait to get back to the gym.

A good sweat sesh can do wonders for the mind,” said Kardashian, who continues to document her sweaty trainings on social media. “Once I got the green light from my doctor, Coach Joe was on the next flight to Cleveland — no joke, LOL,” the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star said about her longtime trainer and go-to KarJenner fitness instructor, who also trains Kourtney Kardashian .

Member of 'Apocalyptic' Group Flips on Other Suspects After 2 Girls Found Mummified in a Car

A member of a Colorado group with “apocalyptic” beliefs  has accepted a plea deal in connection with the deaths of two girls that group members are accused of intentionally abusing until they died, PEOPLE confirms. The children — 8-year-old Hannah Marshall and 10-year-old Makayla Roberts — were found mummified in a car on Frederick “Alec” Blair’s marijuana farm in 2017. Hannah and Makayla were forced to live inside the vehicle without food or water and were victims of the religious beliefs of the small group, which included their mom, investigators have alleged, according to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel . “It was an apocalyptic kind of thing,” a source with knowledge of the case previously told PEOPLE of the group. “They are guided by their dreams,” the source said, describing the group’s beliefs. “They will stay some place until they have a dream and then they go someplace else. They think they can heal people.” Blair was originally charged with being an accessory to a crime

Here's the Exact Moment Netflix Drops New TV Episodes

Image
In the last five years or so, Netflix's original series have taken the TV world by storm, racking up social media buzz, awards, and countless fans. On the day each new season of an original series is set to drop, the show is available in its entirety at 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT. Why is that? The company has never officially commented on the release time, but what makes the most sense is that it goes by the clock in the time zone where the company is headquartered. Netflix's company headquarters is in a suburb of San Francisco, with another 800-person office located in Los Angeles. So the streaming service drops its original series during the first minute in that time zone on their respective release dates (which tend to be Fridays).

Sorry, Ladies and Gents: Tom Hardy Is Not as Tall as You Probably Thought

That fantasy you have of Tom Hardy towering over you for a kiss might not be as realistic as you think. In fact, while the Venom actor opts for larger-than-life roles , he stands at just 5'9". Tom might be the same height as his Peaky Blinders costar Cillian Murphy, but he is smaller than his all-knowing friend Leonardo DiCaprio , who reportedly boasts 6 feet of height - although there is talk that this might be a white lie and he actually stands at 5'10". It's a good thing Tom just signed on to play real-life gangster Al Capone , as the crime boss who inspired Scarface stood at 5'6".

A Comedy Series About Emily Dickinson Is in the Works, and Hailee Steinfeld Will Star as the Poet

Image
Hailee Steinfeld will play Emily Dickinson in a new comedy series about the beloved poet's life. The series has been ordered by Apple, The Hollywood Reporter reports, and it's set in the 1800s, but "features a modern sensibility and tone." Dickinson "takes viewers into the world of Dickinson and explores the constraints of society, gender, and family from the perspective of a budding writer who doesn't fit in to her own time through her imaginative point of view," the publication revealed. Those familiar with the Massachusetts-born writer know that Emily Dickinson spent much of her life in a reclusive state, largely uninterested in socializing with others or leaving her room. Although she wrote a large volume of poems, many in an atypical style at the time, much of her work wasn't published until after her 1886 death. She was extremely quiet, but had a voice to be heard, which is part of what the Dickinson show will explore with its comedic ton
