Red Carpet Barbecue: Joan Rivers and a Gaggle of Celebs Spawn the Roast of All Roasts
7 August 2009 12:17 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
That red carpet was actually snow white, making the color scheme the only thing "clean" at the taping of the Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers. In fact, there were more insults than actual guests at the wild soiree, which airs 10 pm Sunday, Aug. 9 and repeats throughout the month. Legend Carl Reiner, and stars Mario Cantone, Jeffrey Ross, Tom Arnold, Greg Giraldo, Brad Garrett and Whitney Cummings handled grilling duties. (Watch for Gilbert Gottfried, who brings down the house.) Melissa Rivers, Jackie Collins, Michael C. Hall were also in attendance. Needless to say, the latest addition of the popular roasts will go down in history as the cable net's most savage endeavor. Barbs--most so far below the belt, you can felt knees buckling--flew with careless abandon. (It's a far cry from those Dean Martin roasts ...) "Joan knows what... »

Rivers Swears At Morning Show Host During Live Broadcast
28 July 2009 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Comedian Joan Rivers turned the air blue during a live U.S. TV interview on Tuesday morning when she swore at a presenter for cracking a joke about her daughter.
The 76 year old appeared on Good Day Sacramento to promote her new show How'd You Get So Rich?, but the funnywoman wasn't laughing when one interviewer made a quip at her 41-year-old TV presenter daughter Melissa's expense.
The male TV host asked Rivers, "Ever run up to someone and say, 'Hey, how did you get so rich?' and the woman replied, 'By riding on my mum's coat tails!'"
Rivers snapped and cut short the interview - but not before scolding the presenter and dropping the 'F' word.
She snarled, "I don't think so. And I think we're gonna end the interview right now. Don't get so f**king smart."
Rivers' microphone was immediately cut off and the reporter's co-hosts were left to apologise to viewers for the foul language.
Melissa Rivers has carved out a career for herself as a TV personality and an actress, with small roles in now defunct TV shows like Beverly Hills, 90210 and The L Word.
The mother and daughter duo also appeared together on Donald Trump's reality show Celebrity Apprentice earlier this year and once prowled the red carpet at big awards shows for U.S. TV specials.
It's not the first time Rivers' language has caused controversy on live TV - last year she swore on British daytime talk show Loose Women during a chat about a red carpet encounter with Russell Crowe.
She called the actor "f**king s**t", prompting the flustered presenters to apologise for Rivers' foul language. The comedienne issued an apology for her expletives - but then revoked it, insisting the British public had overreacted. »
Melissa Rivers: Celebrity Apprentice Isn't Rigged
12 May 2009 11:00 PM, PDT | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »
Sorry, reality-tv conspiracy theorists; despite what some of you might have to say, Melissa Rivers—whose mother Joan Rivers beat out poker pro Annie Duke on Celebrity Apprentice earlier this week—says the show's results aren't fixed. "Oh God—it's not fixed at all!" Rivers tells Ok! Magazine. "Trust me." In fact, Rivers—who competed earlier on in the season before getting eliminated—says that the results are unpredictable that she'd get a little nauseous when going into the boardroom. "I think that my throwing up before going on [to be judged by Donald Trump] proves that we didn't know what was going on," Rivers recalls. "It's. »

As if reviving a failed reality show isn't hard enough, those involved with NBC's new version of I'm Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here now have something unexpected to deal with.
The peacock network announced in April that they were bringing back I'm Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here for a limited run. The show has been running in the UK for years but a Us version didn't find much success on ABC in 2003. Contestants for this version include D-list celebrities like Melissa Rivers, Alana Stewart, Nikki Schieler Ziering, Robin Leach, Bruce Jenner, Downtown Julie Brown, Maria Conchita Alonso, Tyson Beckford, and John Melendez.
NBC's version is scheduled to air four days a week, from June 1st until the 15th.

Comedienne Joan Rivers was dealt the winning hand after facing off celebrity poker player Annie Duke on the season finale of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice.
Rivers was crowned the winner of Trump's reality-tv competition during a three-hour finale on Sunday, after
competing as apprentices to the business mogul to raise money for their favourite charities.
She faced competition from a long list of celebrities on the programme - including country singer Clint Black, socialite Khloe Kardashian, TLC singer Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins, former basketball star Dennis Rodman, comedian Tom Green and even her own daughter, Melissa Rivers.
Rivers insists she had no idea she been chosen by Trump until he fired her opponent during filming.
She says, "You cannot read him. I did not know until he really said, 'Joan.' I absolutely didn't know... it's so intense." »

Brande Roderick steps up as the project manager of Athena while Clint Black leads for Kotu. Melissa in particular feels left out when she proposes the idea and Brande and Annie Duke answer her with silence. On the other side, Jesse is also pissed when Clint starts to take everything over without group discussion.
Melissa thinks that Brande maybe the project manager but Annie is clearly directing her in a manipulative way. Meanwhile, Jesse is even madder when Clint disagrees with his idea of getting back to Lee's root but has none of his own.
