Kathy Griffin is crude, rude and vulgar. So was Joan Rivers. The difference is over the years Joan Rivers made the best dress list numerous times. She knew a lot about fashion. I did not realize Kathy Griffin was known for her fashion sense.

I agree. Joan knew more about fashion than most designers and I have no idea whether Kathy Griffin knows anything about fashion. On the other hand what do Kelly O and Giuliana know about fashion?

They both have a clothing line on HSN.

I do not care for the way either dresses but Kelly O sounds fairly knowledgeable about designers and lines throughout the years.

IRL, Anderson Cooper and KG are BFF and she is like a daughter to Gloria Vanderbilt (Anderson's mom)....., so Kathy must have a soft side to her. I like her in the right venues but I don't know about Fashion Police...... What does Giuliana Rancic contribute to that show anyway and since when did she and Kelly Osbourne become fashion mavens????? I happen to like Kelly - but I don't get her and Giuliana on that show at all. Giuliana always acts as though she is embarrassed by what JR always said. That seemed to be her claim to fame.....

I like Melissa and wish she would be part of the show instead of behind the scenes. Maybe if they replaced Giuliana with KG, and got somebody else to replace JR, things would be better???? JMO

I guess I have to wonder how Joan Rivers became an eligible fashion critique? Because she reached a point where she could afford to wear designer clothes exclusively?

And what place does Melissa have on a panel of fashion observers? Because she's Joan's daughter?

Thus Guiliana and Kelly have as much right to be there as the Whirlpool repair man. JMO.

Joan was always a "fashionista". I can remember her on the old talk shows (Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin) she would talk about fashion.

Jerry Lewis is a comedic genius and all one has to do is watch one of his old movies to see that yet Joan had the audacity to say that if it wasn't for his telethon he wouldn't have been successful.

Jerry Lewis said some nasty things about Joan and, for that matter about all women comedians. Her remark about the telethon was a JOKE. As to Jerry being a comic genius, I thought so when I was 5, now...not so much. He was a great innovator as a film director but he is a legend in his own mind.

ITA, and Joan started the "who are you wearing" at the big awards shows. That's all due to Joan. She was very qualified IMO to comment on the celebs duds.

Hi adelle.....actually what Jerry Lewis said was he didn't like to see women do crude jokes. Not only that, he praised Lucille Ball calling her brilliant and stated that Carol Burnett is the greatest female entrepreneur of comedy.

He shuffled around on that one . Here's a quote from People in 1998,

"Jerry Lewis didn't love Lucy -- or, by the sound of it, few others but himself. The comic and filmmaker, 73, stunned an audience of 1,000 people at Aspen's U.S. Comedy Arts Festival this weekend during a Q&A session conducted by Martin Short. Asked which women comics he admired, Lewis answered, "I don't like any female comedians." Short mentioned Lucille Ball. "You must have loved her," he said to Lewis, who replied, "No." Lewis went on to say, "A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world." That last remark all but brought an end to the discussion, reports the Associated Press. Lewis lost his audience, which got up and left."

"Despite his dislike of crude female comics, Lewis did offer praise Saturday for two funny ladies. He called Lucille Ball “brilliant” and said Carol Burnett is “the greatest female entrepreneur of comedy.”
