Roseanne Barr says Angelina Jolie is �evil� and her hubby Brad Pitt �vacuous,� tmz.com reports.

Roseanne went harebrained on her blog, scoffing that Jolie likes Republican presidential candidate John McCain but hasn�t decided whom to endorse.

Roseanne rants, �Do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every impression had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican Party�s world-wide economic assault on Africa?�

She also mentions two of the other kids ar Vietnamese and Thai (actually Maddox is Cambodian), saying their existent families are �victims of America�s right wing military incursions.�

Roseanne goes on to claim that Brad brings in $40 zillion US a year in violent, psychopathic films and gives a�way a comparatively paltry $3 mil �to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity.�

Mark Ronson - Ronson Jackson Hated Watching Porn

Producer MARK RONSON once tried to make his childhood pal MICHAEL JACKSON watch porn - but the pop superstar hated the experience and wasn't amused.

Ronson, whose father Laurence was a band manager, used to spend his time in the company of John Lennon's son Sean and Jackson as they were growing up.

The trio would frequently have sleepovers - but when Ronson and Lennon used to switch over the TV to the pornography channel, Jackson was left cringing with embarrassment.

He recalls, "It's a weird story, but I didn't touch him. We (Ronson and Lennon) used to watch the porn channel because we were like 10 and, 'Oh my God, tits!' So Michael was in bed. And me and Sean said, 'Michael do you want to see something cool?'

"We turned the dial to the porn channel and there were strippers shaking their tits around. We were like, 'Michael, Michael, how cool is this?' We turned around and he was cringing, saying, 'Ooh stop it, stop it, ooh it's so silly.' We were like, 'Michael, you have to look, maybe you're not seeing it right, it's naked girls!'

"He was not down with the programme whatsoever! I think he had really strong feminist views on porn."

Ronson's comments were made during the taping of British gameshow the Sunday Night Project, which is due to air in the U.K. on Sunday (22Jun08).
