Joan Rivers

LONDON - Joan Rivers' salty tongue got her booted from a British daytime talk show in the middle of its live broadcast.

Rivers used two expletives while talking about Russell Crowe as a guest host on the live gab-fest "Loose Women." She was asked to leave during a commercial break.


WATCH HER SWEAR, OR SCROLL TO KEEP READING;


The 75-year old comedian said in a statement Tuesday she was sorry for the swearing, ["Yes, I swore, and I'm so fucking sorry,"] and assumed that a censor would be able to "bleep" the words out.

Then she cracked wise, saying the incident reminded her of her wedding night _ because she was asked to leave in the middle of that, too.

Come on, she is only three years older than John McCain. It's the brain, not the looks.
And that's the problem.

Along with the secrets being kept from us about McC's role in the Forrestal Fire and his conduct in prison and in all those misbehaviors in the Navy, we voters must demand a recent cat scan film of his brain.
I have a sneaking feeling it will look a lot like Swiss cheese.

NO FREE PASS FOR MCCAIN, NO FREE PASS FOR CINDY. NO FREE PASS FOR UNTERFUERHER SCHNEURMANN, NO FREE PASS FOR HILLARY.

You are a fool. This is not about politics. Think about something else for a while... sheesh....!

This is long overdue. She should have been kicked out of show business 60 years ago.

And on what does she base her opinion? What a lousy thing to say.

She probably has a lot of friends who've worked with him. Most film crews would say the same thing.

Probably has something to do with the mans well known temper and a tendency to hurl his cell phone at the heads of innocent people when he doesn't get his way. Just a guess.

And you are even sadder and emptier - do you have a shrine to her in your bathroom?

She may be right but at least he has talent and is far more worthy of praise than she and her annoying spawn....and after all some of my best friends can be..uh..what she said...from time to time, thus making them just like everyone...but who has ruined the most pre-oscar shows than Joan, the living cadaver and the spawn of her...gad, can I say it?...loins.

I quit watching all the red carpet shows when they stopped have Joan and Mellisa do them. They were funny and irrevrent. Now these shows are just boring, boring, boring.

I agree, nobody can come close to the dissection of display like Ms. Rivers. I miss her too.

Russell Crow is just that. Joan's right. I thought the Brits were more liberal on their shows. Guess I was wrong.

unfortunately this show goes out at lunchtime and the target audience is mums with their pre-school toddlers. If it had been a show after 9pm, when language can get very salty, there would be no problem.

It's amazing to me in democracies which laud their freedom of speech, certain letters arranged in a certain order cannot be uttered. It's all based on the emotional response from those who abhor the letters arranged and ordered such. While claiming to be civilized. we have become some of the most indecent humans, and none of it has anything to do with the utterance of arranged letters, but rather our indencency relates to the views we have of humans other than ourselves. To me the indecency of her remark was that she felt the freedom to dramatically diss someone else. The only funny value was due to the "shock" of hearing those arranged letters uttered, because they are banned. Mean, silly children, aren't we? I say, pooh pooh this doo doo.

The reason why they are not allowed on daytime network TV is because we do not need our children to hear and repeat those words. I highly doubt you would want your small children hearing then using words like that.
I would not watch a show with my son that uses nasty words to describe someone, that is my choice. The networks realize that they will loose many daytime viewers if they show disgusting language. It's not about freedom of speech but about the people that will choose to change the channel if they hear or see certain things with their children present.

jeez, more "dirty word" idiocy....

Words are words are words; they are used to communicate, and ALL OF THEM ARE ALWAYS APPROPRIATE.

The exclusion of any word on any basis is CENSORSHIP.

Kids hear this language all the time. If not at home, then in public places. I don't particularly care for it, but it is not going to ruin a kid to hear a word they shouldn't use. Do you get as upset when domeone uses the word "ain't" on tv?
Lots of stay at home moms and dads watch soap operas during the day... the kids may not hear the word, but they actually see the act!

Joan has had one too many face lifts, and it's pulled too tight. I mean, every time she crosses her legs, her mouth pops open.

And I mean that in a kind, caring way.

I think Joan Rivers was quite a talent but I can't forgive her for foisting her no talent daughter on us.
