Roseanne Barr, the hefty star of the top-rated TV sitcom "Roseanne," is divorcing her husband of 15 years, blaming the split on irreconcilable differences. Barr filed her petition to divorce William Pentland in Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday. The papers said the couple separated on April 1. The comedian-actress, who portrays a sarcastic, overweight housewife in her successful television show, is seeking joint custody of the couple's three children. The youngsters, Jessica, 14, Jennifer, 13, and Jake, 12, live with their mother, according to the petition. The divorce petition does not seek any spousal or child support. The couple married Feb. 4, 1974.
