“Well, I’ve worked with stupid actresses — I’ve worked with Angelina Jolie — she saw a sign that said ‘WET FLOOR’ one time, and she did! I mean, she’s attractive, but not a bright girl — stunningly beautiful, but stupid.”
Joan Rivers, on Angelina Jolie, in a recent interview.
She was with E! for awhile, then she moved to TV Guide network, and, most recently, Joan Rivers has been critiquing the red carpet from … a blog?
Shit, I can do that.
What I can’t do is get VH1 to support my blogging efforts.
Their interest in Joan’s red-carpet commentary is leading some folks at the LA Times to wonder whether VH1’s getting into the red carpet business.
I have a hunch — and more than that — that Joan and Melissa are secretly planning a dramatic comeback to the red carpet.
What’s key about current circumstances is that Joan and Melissa did their Internet gig with VH1. That sure makes you wonder: Is the music channel planning to get into the red carpet biz? If so, why weren’t Joan and Melissa at the Emmys repping VH1? Currently, no rival network has an exclusive deal. The TV Guide Channel eventually busted that E! monopoly, opening up the carpet to other cable players.
When I recently asked Joan’s PR rep if the Rivers gals will work red carpets for VH1 in the future, she got noticeably nervous and replied: “No comment.”
The whole article is interesting and worth a read, by the way — lots of behind-the-scenes drama in there — but Joan and Melissa back on the red carpet? On VH1???
I love it.
