Re: Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

I have posted this before. I have no strong feelings about JR either way. However, my old boss' nephew once dated Melissa and my boss had been to gatherings at her home on several occasions. He always told me she was the kindest, most sincere, generous and gracious in RL, and nothing like her public persona, which is her "bread and butter." She says of her negative publicity, "it comes with the territory" and doesn't worry about it.

She is who she is, and is true to Joan. I recently saw her, as she performed in my area. I am a lesbian, and she said a negative comment about lesbians, during her show. I did not take it, personally, it was a part of her act. People need to lighten up. Bottom line, the woman has a big heart when all is said and done.


What was the negative comment?

The Jackson family has lived in the Las Vegas area for years. In fact, Rebbie still performs every now and then. For Joan to come to Vegas once a year and open her big mouth about THEIR FAMILY MEMBER is terrible (I'm referring to her crass remarks about Michael). If she had such a big heart, she'd remove that from her act.

Yes nice women do listen to Howard Stern. I listen every day that he is on. He is a great interviewer.

I hear her stand-up routine in Vegas was really raunchy, but that's JR.

Exactly.

Exactly.

And you know this because you went to it? I did and it wasn't raunchy. It was simply not funny. In fact her incessant need to bring up Michael Jackson probably has more to do with her hatred and feud with Elizabeth Taylor who Michael Jackson was publicly very good friends with. So, they're both deceased and JR like the coward she is, bashes them in her act.

Telling Joan Rivers to zip her mouth is pretty futile. This is still the USA, no?

A person with a show on HBO doesn't have to worry about Joan Rivers.

Agreed. They are always so shocked at Joan Rivers. I am always shocked that anyone is shocked. Really who cares? Rock on Joan!
