LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

One day after blasting Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on her blog, Roseanne Barr is backing off.

The former “Roseanne” star took to her blog again on Tuesday, offering an apology of sorts to the superstar couple. 

In a post titled “I do not know Brangelina,” she writes, “[I] do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people in the flesh, but the media’s images of them are smelly and vile, and I must always attack the media’s representation of what is good or cool.”

Roseanne continued, lashing out against bloggers and the media, who were quick to report on her Monday remarks.

“Those who inhabit the media world of glamour and entertainment and fashion and gossip are horrid people who have no talent of any kind, and yet think of themselves as tastemakers,” she continued.

On Monday, the actress criticized Angelina for stating that she was undecided on a presidential candidate and was waiting to hear more information. Reports however hinted that Jolie might be leaning toward McCain following her trip to Iraq this past February.

“Miss Jolie says she likes McCain too and hasn’t decided who to endorse… huh?” Roseanne blogged. “Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?

She also took aim at Brad, calling him “vacuous,” and noted that the couple make “forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children,” referring to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which has raised millions for charitable causes.
