Comedian, if you can call her that, Joan Rivers has passed away

Hard to believe because she looked so young :S

The woman has ad 739 plastic surgery procedures...

insanity

She's lived a very good Hollywood style life for a long time. At least Entertainment tonight has something to talk about for the rest of the week now instead of Jennifer Lawarence naked pics.

true haha, but what do we hear rather? talk about a hot naked Jennifer Lawrence, or a old as can be, ugly as can be, unfunny as can be, dead as can be Joan Rivers

[Axeman33]

Ironic that a woman who had so much work done died at a hospital during a "medical procedure".

RIP Joan.

Unfunny? Ha. . . If you watched her stand up and didn't think it was funny, then not sure where to go from here. I get her fashion shows were blah, but stand up was original, authentic and damn funny. But humour is subjective.

I respect what she did for comedy and found her pretty funny, but I was never the biggest fan

[mounD]

Damn.

[STLblues]

she was old and wealthy...i hope to be so lucky when i go.....

She was one of the trailblazers for women comedians along with Phyllis Diller. In her day she was really funny. She may have been past her prime the last decade or so for relevance but you got to give her her due for longevity in the business.

From "Why Johnny Carson never spoke to me again"-

"When I started out, a pretty girl did not go into comedy. If you saw a pretty girl walk into a nightclub, she was automatically a singer. Comedy was all white, older men. It was Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Bob Hope, Shelley Berman, Red Skelton ... even Amos and Andy were white men, which is hilarious if you think about it.

Phyllis Diller was happening right before me. But even Phyllis was a caricature, and I didn’t want to be a caricature. I was a college graduate; I wanted to get married.

(Johnny)Carson, give him credit, said on air in 1965, “You’re gonna be a star.” Right smack on the air.

I adored Johnny. In the ’70s, I did opening monologues, I was hosting. The turning point was when I left the show. Everybody left the show to go to do their own shows. Bill Cosby. David Brenner. George Carlin. Everybody. I stuck around for 18 years. And they finally offered me my own late-night show."

There are at least 2 things wrong with this. You watch Entertainment Tonight, and you don't care about naked celebrities? Which is it??

Didn't she beat Annie Duke during a season of Celebrity Apprentice?

Yes. But she didn't deserve it. She won because she was Donald Trump's buddy. She missed a lot of tasks because of her career, and she actually stormed off the show when her daughter was (rightly) eliminated. A few times previous to that, she threatened to storm off the show if her daughter was fired. So even though she won, it didn't look good on her.

Although one funny moment from the show came when she said the other finalist contestant, Annie Duke, was worse than Hitler. Duke took offence, and said she shouldn't be called Hitler. Rivers replied something like "Oh sweetie, I never said you were Hitler. I said you were worse than Hitler."

yep watched this too.

The hitler thing was hilarious, but watching this show made me hate Joan Rivers a lot. What an idiot.

She definitely didn't deserve to win that season. But you are 100% correct in that she only won because she's Donald trumps buddy.

She was on Louie CK's show recently and she was hilarious, sad to see

Look, there's literally nothing else on TV at 7:30 everynight so it's defaulted to ET. I do care about naked celebrities and I did my own research on twitter. After extensive analysis, here's the conclusion that I arrived at:
Jennifer Lawrence - meh, 6.5/10 (ok but not even close to pornstar hot)
Kate Upton - Keep your top on please (future SAG award winner)
