ETA: Just received the news email from CNN:

Comedian Joan Rivers has died at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, according to her daughter, Melissa Rivers. She was 81. "It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers," Melissa Rivers said in a prepared statement. "She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends."

Been such a fan for so many years. God Bless Joan and all who love her.

I'm sorry to hear this...just saw it on MSN. Joan has been around ever since I can remember! She was such a presence, and will be missed.

I think Jackie (model) knows; she wasn't smiling. Maybe they don't want to tell Leah and Susan while they're on, but come on, already......

I'm old enough to remember her whole tv career from Johnny to now, and always liked her. She has a small part in "The Swimmer" (1967), where you can see how she was quite attractive with her (almost) original face.

Especially thinking of the early days on the Q with Kathy Levine when they were a lot more serious, but eventually the humor kicked in. Have so much of her jewelry and clothing, as most of us do.

It won't be the same for us old-time Q people.....Shalom, Joan. You're with Spike and all your other beloved ones.
