Roseanne Barr reveals heart issue, fears she’ll die during surgery

Roseanne Barr received a stark diagnosis — a “damaged” heart — a warning that left her fearing she could “die on the surgery table.”
Barr, 73, opened up about her health while talking about the “ponytail facelift” she wanted to get.
“This doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it’s damaged,” the actress said during an appearance on her podcast, “The Roseanne Barr Podcast.” “So now I’m so pissed. Because I’m like, I need a new doctor.”
“He’s always sending me to other doctors to check me out,” she added. “And I’m like, why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing’s wrong and then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table?”
Barr doubled down, saying the prospect of surgery didn’t make sense to her.
“I mean, it doesn’t make any sense,” she said. “I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just, you know, get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into the home. What do they call that place? Hospice.”
The candid remarks offered a glimpse into her mindset on aging and end-of-life care, a contrast to the more grounded, day-to-day life she’s built in recent years. Barr opened up about her move to Texas and the joys she’s experienced since making the lifestyle change and being outdoors in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
Although it has been a “dream come true” for the “Roseanne Barr is America” star, Barr shared that while mowing her property, her tractor fell on top of her and trapped her underneath the weight of the machine.
“I’m doing a lot of mowing. I’ve got a really fantastic tractor out here, and I’m mowing. The only problem is I don’t clear the trees quite as good as I should, and I’m always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head.
“So, I’ve had several injuries recently. I had this one tree … I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor,” Barr said. “So I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds.”
Barr explained that it took her an hour to move the tree “inch by inch” before she was able to flip it over.
Ahead of the release of the documentary, “Roseanne Barr is America,” in 2025, Barr told Fox News Digital that her life is a representation of the American experience.
“I went from poverty to wealth through comedy. That’s a typical Jewish-American experience in my generation and a few other generations for minority people that are funny. I think it’s typical, you know,” she said.
A stand-up comic turned household name, Barr skyrocketed to fame with her hit ABC sitcom “Roseanne.” In 2018, Barr was essentially canceled after tweeting a racist remark about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
Barr faced an onslaught of backlash for the tweet, leading to smears from her co-stars and ABC canceling the revival of her hit namesake show “Roseanne,” instead televising the spin-off series “The Conners.”
The comedian admitted she doesn’t keep in touch with any of her former co-stars.
“No, I’m not friends with none of them,” Barr told Fox News Digital. “They’re all in the past. I have pleasant memories of what fun we had — wish them all the best. And no, we don’t talk. I’ve moved on from that horrendous ending and chapter of my life, but you know, I don’t hold any bitterness or nothing to them, but my God, what fun we had on that show.
“And I was sorry they f—ed it all up with their greed and ridiculous stupidity to f— all that up. F— them, but I wish them well,” she said.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoy dinner date in NYC

Taylor Swift and fiancé Travis Kelce were pictured enjoying a date night in New York City on Friday, ahead of their upcoming July wedding.
The singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 36, were spotted packing on the PDA as they made their way into Or’esh.
Swift, who was holding hands with and lovingly gazing at Kelce outside of the Mediterranean restaurant, modeled an off-the-shoulder floral maxi dress and open-toe beige heels.
The “Opalite” singer accessorized with a gold necklace and a straw purse. Her hair was swept back, with her bangs framing her face.
Kelce, meanwhile, wore a patterned short-sleeve Marni shirt and black pinstriped pants.
Notably, this is the fourth New York City outing for Swift this week. Prior to her and the NFL star’s Friday evening together, Swift enjoyed dinner dates with her family and friends.
On Thursday, Swift was pictured grabbing dinner at Zero Bond, an exclusive, private members-only club. It wasn’t clear who she dined with that evening, but she was dressed to impress in a crisp white Stella McCartney peplum shirt cinched at the waist with a thin black belt and polished tan trousers.
On Tuesday, she celebrated her close pal Lena Dunham’s 40th birthday at Italian restaurant Via Carota in NYC’s West Village neighborhood alongside Andrew Rannells, Emily Ratajkowski and director Romain Gavras.
And on Monday, Swift was spotted with her parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, and her brother, Austin. The family enjoyed a private dinner at The Eighty Six.
Swift and Kelce are preparing for their wedding, which is set to take place in NYC on July 3, according to the save-the-dates that have already gone out to guests.
Swift has also been personally calling friends to invite them to her and Kelce’s summer nuptials, TMZ reported Thursday.
The outlet claimed she’s keeping details of the wedding under wraps to avoid more leaks before the big day.

Anna Wintour’s daughter Bee Shaffer and Franco Carrozzini split

Bee Shaffer and her husband, Francesco Carrozzini, have split after nearly eight years of marriage, Page Six can reveal.
The daughter of Vogue doyenne Anna Wintour tied the knot with the son of Franca Sozzani, the late editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, in July 2018, making the marriage a true fashion union.
The couple, who share a four-year-old son, told Page Six that they remain “best of friends.”
“After ten wonderful years together, we have decided to separate,” they said in a statement. “Although our career paths led us in different directions, we remain the very best of friends and devoted, committed parents to our son. This is the only statement we will make, and we respectfully ask for privacy.”
Although there had been rumblings about their marriage over the past few months as they were rarely seen together, Bee and Francesco posed together at the Met Gala just last week, where she still wore her wedding band.
A few weeks beforehand, Bee had joined her mother and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Cordry Shaffer, at the NYC premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada ” at Lincoln Center.
Bee, 38, is a producer for ATG Entertainment in New York and is known for her work on Broadway productions including the 2022 revival of “Plaza Suite”, the 2023-2024 production of “Appropriate” and the hit musical “Parade.”
She and Francesco, 43, divided their time between NYC and Italy, where he works as a filmmaker and director.
The pair were first romantically linked in 2016 and wed at Wintour’s estate in Mastic, Long Island, in front of 150 guests, who were, of course, banned from posting pics on social media. Actor Colin Firth officiated, reading quotes from both Wintour and Sozzani, who died from lung cancer at age 66 in December 2016.
They later held a second celebration in Portofino, Italy.
Page Six announced that Bee was expecting their first child in July 2021, and Bee gave birth to a son that October.
Bee is one of Wintour’s two children with her ex-husband, noted psychiatrist David Shaffer, who died in October 2023 at age 87. Their son, Charles, is also a doctor in NYC specializing in psychiatry,
In 2014, Bee opened up to Grazia about what having Wintour as a mom is really like. She revealed that her mom “became more famous” when “The Devil Wears Prada” came out. (Meryl Streep plays a parody of a Wintour-esque fashion magazine editor in the film.) Wintour found it “interesting” that people viewed her as “very cold” upon its release.
“But I know that she’s the most generous person that you will ever meet,” Bee added. “It’s crazy, but she will put everyone else before herself. So I know that that’s who she is. She’s also efficient; she gets bored easily and wants to get things done. But, she’s a boss!”

Why stars are flocking back to ‘outdated’ TV dramas
Like vinyl, broadcast TV may be en vogue again. Amid Hollywood contraction, old-school network jobs are suddenly sought after — or at least increasingly viewed as a steadier paycheck for Hollywood’s shrinking creative class.
“A lot of people who used to say to me, ‘I’m never doing a Law & Order show, I’m never doing that,’ are now like, ‘I’m trying to provide for my family. I’ve got two kids and I need to make sure I can put food on the table and still pay for this house,’” one top TV agent tells P6H.
Despite lacking coolness, broadcast jobs offer a level of stability streaming often cannot. “You’re not winning awards or getting nominated for anything if you’re doing a network show, but it pays the bills,” the agent said. “As much as it’s a dying medium, people still want to work there because you can have a consistent style of living and know what your life is like.”

NBC’s reboot of “The Rockford Files” is from Mike Daniels, who most recently was a co-showrunner of Peacock’s short-lived “Ponies.” His last network TV gig was in 2019 with the Jimmy Smits legal drama “Bluff City Law” (also on NBC). Greg Mottola is directing and producing the pilot — his most recent TV credits include a pair of high-profile streaming series, “Peacemaker” and “Nobody Wants This” — in his first network TV gig since he helmed the first three episodes of “Arrested Development.”
Allegra Edwards is co-starring in CBS’ vampire comedy “Eternally Yours,” following five-seasons on Amazon’s “Upload.” One of the bigger hits this past season, Fox’s “Best Medicine,” featured Josh Charles in his first network TV starring role since “The Good Wife.”

For younger actors, streaming still offers something broadcast largely does not: lead roles. “There’s no leads on network television shows for a 25-year-old girl,” the agent added. “But on streaming, you can be the lead of a show making a really good living at 20 or 25 years old.”
One of the biggest frustrations in streaming remains the long gaps between seasons. “You can shoot eight to 10 episodes in one year — after already waiting six months just to get to set — and then have 18 months between seasons,” the agent said. “So in three years, you’re shooting 16 episodes.”
For writers hoping to run their own shows, broadcast offers a stronger training ground, according to another TV lit agent. “You’re getting to produce earlier and you’re involved in production while you’re writing,” the agent said.
Yet another agent argued clients can no longer afford to be overly selective. “Back when all the streamers were launching, it was an arms race for talent,” the agent said. “We could negotiate huge deals and everyone was making money doing cool sh-t.”
Even so, fears remain that the networks could abandon scripted programming altogether in favor of sports and news, and sports-rights costs are expected to further erode scripted budgets. A fourth TV agent summed it up bluntly: “It all comes from somewhere, right?”
