News about Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers' daughter, Melissa, kept her mother's spirit alive and well while celebrating Scott Currie's 60th birthday at the River Club in New York City . During the celebration, the only child of the late comedian, 56, fondly described  Currie as the son her 'mother never had.' She went on to recall how her mom had a penchant for swiping things from hotels and restaurants. 'An unattended housekeeping cart was her holy grail,' Melissa mused of Joan, who passed away in 2014 after undergoing a routine endoscopy.

This month marked the tenth anniversary of trailblazing comedian Joan Rivers' untimely death, but even after all of these years, her legacy is still as strong as ever, especially in the celebrity fashion world. However, her daughter, Melissa Rivers, believes that her mom would not have been a fan of today's climate of cancel culture - and would have wanted nothing more than to make light of it. Rivers, who passed away after undergoing a routine endoscopy in 2014, was not only famous for her jaw-dropping and hysterical comedy, but also her role on E!'s hit show, Fashion Police, and legendary red carpet commentary and interviews.

The young bride entered Westminster Abbey to Elgar's Imperial March with four-year-old Prince William (inset) as one of her page boys. Her wedding dress with its 17 foot 6 inch train had been designed by Lindka Cierach, who revealed that she had to veto some of the bride's bizarre dress requests, including decorative teddy bears and helicopters. Amongst the almost 2,000 guests was US First Lady Nancy Reagan, acting great Michael Caine, and showbiz stars Jackie Stewart, Barry Humphries, Joan Rivers, Billy Connolly and Elton John.

Last Wednesday, D'yan Forest was walking to her gym around 9 am, when a suspected female stranger came up to her and struck her in the face on the corner of Seventh Avenue South and West 11th Street.

Designer Pat Kerr Tigrett first met Diana in 1984 and ended up buying four of her dresses at the famous Christie's auction in 1997. She is now selling three of the four (left, Diana wearing a Murray Arbeid dress in 1986 that could sell for $400,000) via Julien's auction house in Los Angeles and they could raise up to £1million - not bad for an £80,000 investment. Two months after the Christie's auction, Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris. 'It was so awful,' Pat told MailOnline. 'She was so well loved by so many and those children of hers were her life. The minute she died, I literally put my gowns away.' However, Diana's death was not the end of Pat's connection with the Royal Family. In 2006, she received an invitation in the post from Prince William, who was doing his training at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst. Pat (top right with William at the polo) took an image of Kate Middleton photographing William on his horse (bottom right). Until now, that image has not been seen in public before. It was taken four months before Kate made her first official appearance alongside the Royal Family at William's passing out parade at Sandhurst.

Joan Rivers first appeared on Johnny Carson's show on February 17, 1965. The comedienne wowed the host, who proclaimed she was going to be a star. Carson invited her on his popular late-night show more than 100 times. In early 1986, Rivers was approached by the new Fox Television Networks to host a rival show. The Late Show premiered on October 9, 1986. Carson felt betrayed and claimed Rivers hadn't had the courtesy to tell him her plan. She denied this and said Carson had proved persistently unavailable. The show was an abject failure, in large part because A-list guests refused to do the show in deference to Carson. The Late Show lasted only two seasons.

Three plastic surgeons have revealed the celebrities who they say have had facelifts similar to Joe Biden's. The surgery is reminiscent of a cookie-cutter approach, they said, where surgeons perform the same surgery on every patient rather than tailoring them to individuals. This was how facelifts were done around a decade to two decades ago, and would result in complications such as skin being bunched in areas like around the eyes and pulled tightly across the side of the face. He also had a browlift, they said, resulting in his hairline being pulled up. Among male celebrities who they said had received similar facelifts were Kenny Rogers (far left) and Mickey Rourke (middle left). Both had skin bunching at the eyes reminiscent of Biden's, they said, and their sideburns appeared to have been eliminated by the procedure. Among women who they claimed had facelifts similar to Biden's were Joan Rivers (middle right) and Goldie Hawn (far right).

It's also true that airlines are cramming an increasing number of "slimline" seats into Economy sections, but that's not surprising considering that they are in fact supermodel sizes. So unsuitable is this stout for those with a larger girth, as airlines such as Air France are advising the st out to buy an extra seat 'if your builder does not allow you to sit comfortably in a single seat.' And this week, Finnair is allowing us to tackle the extra pounds by weighing passengers at the departure gate. Humiliating? Unquestionably, the answer is no.

Dolly Parton defended her exaggerated fashion sense, saying she did not want to be 'fashionable' in the way that other people did not. She has earned a following for her signature style, a mash-up of Las Vegas glitter and a bawdy spin on country chic, which have drew praise throughout her career. Her outfits are a complement to her soaring platinum hairdo, as well as the mighty cleavage who once caused Joan Rivers to chuckle: "She used to have ten children but she nursed them and they exploded." Dolly, 77, regretted that she was prompted to dial back her appearance early in her career, including by her friend Chet Atkins. She, on the other hand, held her guns and has now stated: "I didn't like wearing what someone else would wear, which is supposed to have good taste." But I had no taste!'

When you're looking for your next dinner party, a posh wine and a charcuterie board may spring to mind, but it turns out that food is not the only thing important. One of Australia's biggest wine exporters, research, revealed a general consensus on what one should and shouldn't do at a soiréee. According to one unexpected occurrence, sex is now part of the dinner table discussion, with the exporter finding people less worried about the issue today. However, more than half of those polled said that looking at your phone during dinner is a no-no, while others (64%) disapproved of smoking at the table. With 34% of people participating in the discussion, it seems that the age-old adage that you shouldn't talk about politics and finances at the dinner table persists.
