Melissa Joan Hart is on last week’s cover of “People” magazine. She really wanted to be there, too, and not get knocked off of the cover by any unforeseen circumstances, like maybe a death?

Hart said that she hoped Farrah Fawcett wouldn’t die, thus costing her the cover of the tabloid and reducing her to a blip.

She must’ve really wanted to show off her post-baby bikini body, but have some tact!

She has since issued an apology, stating, “It has come to my attention that something I said has been completely misconstrued in the press. I was merely explaining what I had read about how the cover of People magazine was chosen…I truly hope that Farrah and her family know I wish them the best at this time in her life. And that I would never be so selfish to disrespect anyone, let alone someone I admire greatly.”

She has also issued a request of her own fans, in that they pray for her mother who recently had a brain tumor removed.

She says, “All of my 6 siblings and I gathered at my house and the hospital for the entire week to be strong for each other. She is out of the woods and on her way to recovery, luckily she is a good healer and has 7 children to lend a hand in times like these. Prayer is a big part of my life and it was very crucial last week for my mommy. I ask that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she fights her way to a full and wonderful recovery.”

We are praying for Hart’s mother as well as Farrah Fawcett, both of which we don’t want to lose anytime soon.
