Roseanne Barr, who took to social media to show off a hairstyle that sparked a variety of reactions from her fan base, has become the latest celebrity to try out a completely new look.
Though not particularly original, the idea of celebrities experimenting with their looks and drawing attention is nevertheless appealing. On the other hand, many find fascination and rumors in the constantly shifting fashion choices of A-list celebrities, so it’s not surprise that Roseanne Barr’s new pixie cut sparked a lot of conversation.
The 71-year-old Barr used Instagram to share photos of her new hairstyle, a textured pixie cut in place of her long, gray hair, along with the message “Cut.”
It should come as no surprise that the comedian and actress received a lot of attention from her post, as most of the comments were positive.
“Wow, you look hotter and younger!” only one person wrote.
“I love it,” commented someone else. My age is the same as yours. Although I’ve always had long hair, I’ve been considering cutting it off recently. Seeing how attractive you are, I might actually do it.
Gorgeous Roseanne! Continue rousing folks from sleep! Third: “We love you so much.”
Comments like “Looks incredible Roseanne!” were made by others. and “I adore the hair!”
According to sources, Andre Walker, a hairstylist who also works with TV legend Oprah Winfrey and actress Halle Berry, is responsible for Barr’s makeover.
Barr became a global celebrity in the late 1980s after starring in the ABC series Roseanne as Roseanne Conner. The Cosby Show producers intended to create a “no-perks family comedy,” which gave rise to the concept for the well-known show.
Twenty-one million homes watched the first episode of Roseanne when it debuted in 1998, making it the biggest premiere of the year. After airing for ten seasons, Roseanne was a huge hit overall. Barr also took home multiple honors, including a Golden Globe and an Emmy.
More recently, Barr faced a major blow when her show was canceled due to a tweet that compared Valerie Jarrett, the advisor to former President Barack Obama, to an ape.
Barr expressed sorrow for the error and blamed the unsuitable joke on her poor health and emotional instability, despite her outspoken support of the former president Donald Trump, according to People. She withdrew from the public eye for a few weeks afterward. In response to the criticism, Barr expressed regret in public.
Nevertheless, the outcry led to the cancellation of Roseanne’s planned return, and in the background, she experienced a profound personal and professional metamorphosis.

Woman Opens Her Door and Sees Crying Little Girl Who Claims Her Mom Is in the House — Story of the Day
A young woman’s impulse to help a grieving little girl ended up turning her life around and bringing her happiness.
How many of us can claim that destiny came knocking on our door? Yet that is what happened to Anna Uriel. In Anna’s case, destiny took the shape of a little girl with big brown eyes, her hair in a braid.
Anna answered the doorbell and found herself staring down at a little girl no more than six years old in a pretty gingham dress. “Hi sweetheart,” she said gently. “I think you have the wrong house.”

The girl shook her head. “No, this is my mommy’s house. Please can you call her?”
“I’m sorry, hun,” Anna said. “I’m the only person who lives here.”
The child started crying. “Please, please! I need my mommy!”
“Hun, where is you daddy?” asked Anna.
“He’s at home. He says mommy’s gone forever, but I know it isn’t true. She’s here!” the girl sobbed.
Anna crouched down and looked the little girl in the eye. “Sweetie, I promise you your mommy’s not here. How about I give you some warm milk and cookies and I take you home to your daddy?”

The girl looked up at Anna sadly. “Okay,” she whispered.
Anna turned to lead the girl into the house, but when she looked around again she was gone. Had it all been a dream? Anna walked next door and knocked on Mrs. Freman’s door.
She told Mrs. Freman about the mysterious little girl. “She vanished so quickly I almost felt it had all been a dream!” Anna concluded.
Mrs. Freman poured Anna some tea. “Your house used to belong to a little family. They had a little girl. Nice people. But the mother became very ill and after she passed away her husband sold the house. That must be the child.”
“Poor thing!” Anna sighed. “To lose her mother so young!”
“I can’t remember their name…” Mrs. Freman said. “It’s my memory…But the little girl… Her name was Cassie!”

“Cassie,” Anna said. “If she comes back, I’ll call the police, take her home. She’s much too young to be wandering the streets alone.” But Cassie didn’t come back and Anna’s life continued as planned.
Anna had always believed in making plans. She’d planned to marry at 25 and to become a mother at 28, but for four years she and her husband had tried to conceive, and still there was no baby.
After a lot of painful treatments, Anna became pregnant, but sadly, she lost her baby when he was only a month old. The doctors told her her chances of having another were slim to none.
Her husband told her quite frankly that being childless was not in his plans, and he didn’t want to adopt. He walked out and left Anna devastated and alone with her shattered dreams.

So Anna could understand Cassie’s pain, the empty place in her life and in her arms where her baby should be. Anna knew how hard it is to let go. She hoped Cassie would come back, but months went by without a visit.
Then one winter evening, there was a knock on her door. There in the doorway stood Cassie huddled in a winter coat, tears freezing on her little cheeks. “Please, lady, I really need my mommy. Daddy’s on the floor and I can’t wake him up. Please, please call my mommy!”
Anna was horrified. She grabbed her coat and her purse. “Honey, Cassie, right? Can you show me where your daddy is?”
Destiny can bring happiness to our door when we least expect it.
The child smiled radially up at Anna. “I knew you’d remember me, mommy! Come!” and she tugged urgently on Anna’s hand and led her to an apartment building three blocks away.

Anna found the front door open, and lying in the middle of a squalid room was an unconscious man. She tried to shake him awake. He stank of alcohol! She dragged him off the floor and onto the couch and walked into the kitchen. It was a disgrace.
Anna set a pot of coffee brewing and started to clean up. Cassie followed her. “Mommy, are you going to make cookies? I’ve missed your cookies!”
“Cassie, I’m not your mommy, but I’ll make you some cookies,” Anna told the little girl. Over the next hour, Anna restored some much-needed order to the apartment and popped a tray of cookies into the oven.
Soon the delicious aroma of cookies and coffee filled the house. Anna filled a mug with coffee and went back to the man. She shook him. “Wake up!” she ordered, “Your daughter needs you!”
The man opened swollen eyes and for a moment his face reflected a dawning hope. “Bess?” he whispered.

“I’m Anna, and your daughter came knocking on my door looking for her mother.” Anna’s voice was harsh. “She needs her father, so sober up and pull yourself together!”
The man struggled up off the couch. “I don’t need you or your help! Get out”
“I’m not here for you, you fool. I’m here for Cassie.” Anna snapped. “And remember, while you were here wallowing in self-pity she was knocking on a stranger’s door.”
Anna kissed Cassie goodbye and walked out. She never imagined she’d see Cassie or her awful dad ever again, but a week later, there was a knock on her door. A tall handsome man was standing there.

“Hi,” he said nervously. “I wanted to thank you and to apologize…”
“I’m sorry,” Anna said bewildered. “Who are you?”
The man blushed. “I’m Jeffrey, Cassie’s dad. I wanted to thank you for what you did for Cassie — and for me. I was so lost in my grief I didn’t realize what Cassie was going through.”
Anna smiled. “It’s okay, I know how hard it is to pull through those dark days.”

Jeffrey looked into Anna’s sad eyes. “You lost someone too?”
“My son,” Anna whispered, tears in her eyes. “After he died, my husband left…”
From then on, Anna started visiting Cassie and Jeffrey and the three of them helped each other through their grief. One day, Anna and Jeffrey discovered they were in love — Cassie already knew — and they got married.
Two years later, Anna was blessed by an unexpected miracle. She discovered she was pregnant and she and Jeffrey welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby boy. Cassie became the proudest big sister in the world.
