Donald Trump and Joan Rivers Look Natural

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Last night was the Celebrity Apprentice finale.  It was absolutely riveting television and I cannot believe I didn’t watch this season.  Joan Rivers won $250,000 for her charity, God’s Love We Deliver, but more importantly Joan Rivers’ face is an absolute work of art.  That thing doesn’t move.

A couple years ago, Donald weighed in on the whole Lindsay Lohan situation, which oddly enough is relatively unchanged today.  The advice he had for Lindsay was, “Find what you love doing (other than drugs and alcohol), work hard, stay focused, get a new set of parents.”  She obviously didn’t take his advice but she apparently did send him a case of her Sevin Nyne self-tanner.  Donald was distractingly orange last night.

Anyway, The Great Pumpkin is in love with himself and had a three-hour finale that seriously could have been done in sixty minutes.  Joan won.  Donald’s a tangerine.  Oh, and you could see clear through professional poker player and challenger Annie Duke’s dress.

Joan and Melissa Rivers Go CRAZY on The Apprentice

Monday, April 27th, 2009

FINALLY, something interesting happened on Celebrity Apprentice.

Check out the CRAZINESS that ensued after Melissa Rivers was fired by Donald Trump last night. HOLY CRAP. It’s just a game, you guys. They really took this personally. I gotta admit, though: It’s good TV. You’d think Joan and Melissa would be a little more media-savvy by now, and that they’d know how bad something like this would make them look. Then again, maybe it was a coordinated PR stunt. Nah. They’re not that good at acting.

Anybody have a link to a clip of what actually went down in the boardroom? I couldn’t find one on YouTube but I really really want to see it now!!!

Update: Here’s a clip of Melissa’s exit interview, with more stuff from the boardroom.

Quotables

“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.”

Could Joan Rivers be Returning to the Red Carpet … via VH1???

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Will Joan and Melissa Rivers be covering red carpet awards shows for VH1?

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.

Joan Rivers Comedy Special Online Now

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Joan Rivers is my hero, and I am enormously grateful to her for being funny 40+ years ago, so that I get to be funny today (or at least try my damndest). Her one-hour Bravo comedy special, “Before Melissa Pulls the Plug,” premieres tonight, but you can watch it now on Bravo’s website.
Oh, come on. It’s not like you’re doing anything at work.
