I know we have a big Chelsea following here on Evil Beet, but Joan Rivers admitted in an interview with The Associated Press that she doesn’t think Chelsea Handler is funny. Of course, Joan also claimed that she hasn’t had much plastic surgery and that some people get too much. Not her, but “some people”:
AP: One of your recent books “Men Are Stupid and Like Big Boobs” is a guide to plastic surgery. Why write that?
Rivers: I did a lot of research for it. I haven’t had as much as everyone thinks. You have to know how much to do and when to do it. I recommend doing a little bit at a time, otherwise you look like you’ve been through a wind tunnel. Robert Redford looks like he’s in the Witness Protection Program. He could actually kill a man and get away with it now. (Laughs)
AP: Ed McMahon recently passed away. You knew him from your days filling in as host of “The Tonight Show.” What was he like?
Rivers: Ed McMahon was the sweetest, nicest guy. What you saw is what you got. He was very kind to me. When I left “The Tonight Show” to go over to Fox, Johnny Carson put out a mandate that nobody was allowed to talk to me. Ed McMahon, whenever he saw me, would come over and make it his business to say hello. That was very sweet.
AP: Late night is still a man’s world.
Rivers: There’s one girl, Chelsea Handler, but she’s not funny. I think there are too many late-night shows.
AP: Do you miss hosting the red carpets with your daughter, Melissa?
Rivers: Not at all. It changed. Melissa and I were the first to do it. We turned going into a building into an event. Now, God forbid you say Nicole Kidman doesn’t look gorgeous. Her publicist then won’t let you have Tom Hanks. Plus, they’re all dressed. Nobody looks like a fool anymore. Nowadays you even recognize the jewelry because it’s all borrowed.
AP: What do you think of celebrities today?
Rivers: They’re handled badly. … In the old days, when a celebrity went out they were dressed. I don’t want to see Cameron Diaz in sneakers and no makeup. There’s no glamour.
Clearly, Joan Rivers suffers from some type of body dysmorphic disorder. She isn’t even aware of the irony that exists as she insults Robert Redford for being so over-tooled. Isn’t it time for her to shut the fuck up and go design another craptastic piece of jewelry for QVC or something?
