Joan Rivers Waterboarded By Her Grandson

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMarch 9, 2011 //


And they say kids today don’t watch the news. The amazing Joan Rivers took a moment to play with her grandson, Cooper, and his friends on her new show “Joan Knows Best?” And what game did they want to play? Waterboarding, of course! “We tie you up. We put this on your head and then we spill water on you,” Cooper explains. Joan finally agrees. “Lay her down on the grass of death,” yells Cooper. It’s no doubt the same sentiment some celebrities feel after Joan skewers them on “Fashion Police.” [PopEater] Keep reading »

Closet Confessions: Joan Rivers

Jessica WakemanDecember 8, 2010 //

Joan Rivers is far from your typical style icon. But hey, she’s Joan friggin’ Rivers. So what the hell, Bluefly.com, why not do a Closet Confessions with her? Predictably Joan’s closet is full of old lady jackets — albeit ones by Valentino — and glitzy Vegas costumes. Her daughter Melissa’s closet is similarly boring, but at least the pair has an interesting theory on how they invented the word “vintage.” As with anything Joan Rivers, this Closet Confession is full of pearls of craggy wisdom: “Fashion should always be fun, it should be enjoyed, and if you take yourself too seriously, you’re an idiot. That’s why I hate Victoria Beckham.” Meow! [LiveStream.com] Keep reading »

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 14, 2010 //

“Joan Rivers and her ‘stargument’ make me believe that she and Michael Lohan are a match made in heaven … All he needs is her botox doctor. ‘Dr.’ Drew—any ideas? Botox rehab reality show? … In the words of 50 cent, you shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house and if you got a glass jaw, you should watch yo mouth.”

—Lindsay Lohan lashed out via Twitter yesterday at a trifecta of “enemies” — her dad, who has used her situation to get publicity; Joan Rivers, who Tweeted nasty stuff about her over the weekend; and Dr. Drew, who has repeatedly said she needs to go to rehab [People] Keep reading »

Jessica WakemanJuly 12, 2010 //

Quotable: Joan Rivers Thinks Ricky Martin Came Out At The Right Time

Amelia McDonell-ParryJune 28, 2010 //

“If you’re going to be a romantic idol and try to get every teenage girl to love you, then you’d be an ass to come out and say you’re gay. Ricky Martin was so smart. He did what he did, made his millions and then he said, ‘Guess what, every body? I’m gay…It didn’t matter anymore because he didn’t have to bring in 16-year-old girls.”

– Joan Rivers, whose film, “A Piece Of Work,” is receiving rave reviews. Do you agree with Joan or do you think Ricky would have still appealed to 16-year-olds as an out-and-proud gay man? [Page Six] Keep reading »

Trailer Park: “The A-Team,” “The Karate Kid,” “Winter’s Bone,” “Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work”

adminJune 11, 2010 //

If you have men (or soccer enthusiast women) in your life, chances are you’re going to want to escape from the constant World Cup noise. There’s no better escape from the heat, yelling, and ball-pinging than an air-conditioned movie theater. But for some reason, instead of releasing a bunch of chick flicks to compensate, half of this weekend’s movie releases are also packed full of machismo. Fortunately, Sundance winner “Winter’s Bone” is on limited release and looks pretty fantastic. Plus, there’s a Joan Rivers documentary that I had no idea existed until now but am weirdly glad that it does. “The A-Team” and “The Karate Kid” both look decent if you’re in one of those set-stuff-on-fire and beat-people-up kind of moods. Or are nostalgic for the ’80s. Keep reading »

Will Joan Rivers Be The Next Betty White?

Julie KlausnerJune 10, 2010 //

Soon after Betty White hosted “Saturday Night Live,” I remember asking my friend Nate, a fellow “Golden Girls” fanatic, what he thought of all the fuss around White’s meteoric comeback. He rolled his eyes, shrugged, and said, “It’s just weird that everybody’s finally come around to realizing that Betty White is amazing. Where have they been?”

He was right: the recent trend of people catching on to the fact that Betty White is terrific felt patronizing, and not just because most were astonished that an adorable old lady could land a joke better than most “SNL” hosts one-third her age (I’m looking at you, January Jones); it was the belated appreciation of White’s fabulousness that made all of us look even sillier.

And now, there’s Joan Rivers. Keep reading »

Quotable: Joan Rivers Hopes Jesse James Bounces Back From The Insanity

Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 28, 2010 //

“Jesse should have been in therapy years ago. I’m so sad because he’s such a sweet guy. And when he starts telling you about what he came out of with his background you put two and two together. So you just hope, please God, get into therapy, which he is and try and pull your life together. [When I first met him] I thought he was adorable, ADORABLE. Jesse was a darling and a gentleman. He was the one who carried your bag, he was the one who helped you up the stairs. Sweet, nice … this whole thing is just insane.”

Quotable: Joan Rivers Tells Victoria Beckham To Eff Off With Her Entitlement

Annika HarrisFebruary 25, 2010 //

“Victoria Beckham is so nasty. Why doesn’t she just go home?! Her dresses are beautiful, but I don’t care what she does. She’s mean to all the people around her. She’s too short to be a diva. We all use the same hairdressers, make-up artists, limo-drivers, and greeters at the airports in L.A. and nobody has anything nice to say about her. They say she’s rude. She can’t always just be having a bad day. Victoria Beckham should get a life. I am not a fan of outrageous consumption. I think it is vulgar.

And no-one should flaunt that they have a hundred Hermes bags. Not when people are starving. Everyone should be allowed to have a great time but she shows a distinct lack of class. I dislike Victoria Beckham. The entitlement — the total entitlement. You want to say, ‘Calm down, you were a Spice Girl.’ The arrogance when she walks into a room is astonishing.”

– Joan Rivers didn’t mince words when the topic of Victoria Beckham came up during a Closer magazine interview in 2008. We’re almost positive the comedienne still feels the same way. [Dlisted] Keep reading »
