Joan Rivers Zings Foes, Old & New

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 5th 2009 10:07AM

Joan Rivers has been getting into the spirit of her upcoming Comedy Central roast (airing Aug. 9) by zipping some zingers at random celebrities in recent days. Check out a few choice jibes:

On Jon Gosselin, to Page Six: "I'm disgusted by him. Here's a guy with eight kids who runs off to 'find himself' -- well, he should have found himself a condom."

On Brooke Shields, to TMZ: "I'd love to roast Brooke Shields. Michael's dearest friend. She hasn't seen him since 1993! ... It's called face time." (Referring to Shields' eulogy at Michael Jackson's memorial service.)

On Jay Leno, to the TV Critics Association: "I think it's brilliant that Leno is at 10 p.m. because America can get bored more easily and go to sleep earlier ... It will be nice for the Midwest because their crops will be greener."

By turnipgirl

Oh boy, Joan. Big deal, they are having a roast for her. A roast is the final sign that your career is in the pits.

By Mea

Joan Rivers is still not funny. She may get older, but wiser and funnier just are not happening for her.

By Pepper

One of these days she will fall through that big mouth of hers and break her neck.

By Pissed

Joan Rivers has a lot of balls (at least she looks like she should?) giving somebody sh_t??? She's got cast iron for a face and poses with queers dressed up like women!!! Get a grip Joan cause it's all you'll ever get with a face like yours!!!!

What a pathetic existence JR has now. Perhaps she could replace Heath Ledger in the Batman series...

Ever heard the old adage "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" Joan?
For an old lady who won't face up to her age. I don't think you've got any right to point out other peoples shortcomings.

...not to mention the fact that you've built a career from just being down right nasty. Meanness isn't funny, it's cruel and pathetic. You're a very sad excuse for a person.

By Rhonda

She has ALWAYS been and ALWAYS will be a sad example of women! She disgusts me!

By Margali

Shouldn't she be out terrorizing Gotham City?

By TOOTSIE

By Jamie

Joan Rivers is the same person she's always been. If you don't like her,don't watch. Actually, the comments she made were pretty funny,especially about Leno. I never did get what the obsession with this guy was. I'd rather watch Dave,Conan,even Craig Ferguson. They're all funnier than Leno.

By jeets

Joan is one operation away from looking like Michael Jackson did.

By William E Rauh

Joan Rivers is white filth.

By bill

....I do have to say though ...her comment about Brooke Shields is 'right on' . How can you get in front of a camera and cry and act up the way she did at M. J.'s funeral ..She calles herself a 'best friend' etc and etc......Best friends see each other (i think) a little more than one time in eight years...when you live close. Brother , what an actress.

yeah, she totally reminds me of my mother considering im black and all, youre probably a middle aged fat dude who has no life and no date so you sit here criticizing people.
and sorry if my " salutation " is wrong.
i wasnt saying i had perfect grammar. i was saying that its ironic how you can feel the need to call someone "stupid" and not even know how to spell it.

Hello C: Sup dude?

Sorry if I offended I also found it ironic someone would critize someone else's spelling when that person's spelling was equally bad.

That's like an arsonist lighting a balze then complaining to the Fire Chief that the fire is too hot.

I'm sure your mother is a wonderful person who loves you and bought you spelling books when you were young - and you probably just ate the pages.

Please don't take my comments personal "dude." Remember Jesus died to take away your sins, not your brains. Use them. They're the nest where your future is hatched. Bad spelling can be a real door-slammer.

Look at all the 'fan mail' Joan Rivers is receiving
on this message board! I remember seeing, Ms. Rivers for the first time in the '70s.. She was an idiot with a tight face then and she's an idiot with a tighter face now! I couldn't get over how open and honest she was re: her facelifts even back
then! According to Joan she was tormented in school
for being so ugly, so she took it upon herself to show the world that there was more to Joan Rivers than, just her looks. She was a comedian. Not a bad
one, but she picked on everyone, even back then from Liz Taylor to Milton Berle. Joan's only daughter, Melissa Rivers is the product of Joan and her late, husband, I believe his name was Edgar. He did himself in by committing suicide. I don't mean to be cruel, but like Joan is, I will. Edgar, her husband must have been so fed up with looking at her everyday, and realizing what an ugly
witch she was and how very mean she was that he felt there was no way out. Why pay alimony to the witch? I knew many people who killed themselves and one of them was my brother's ex-wife b/c her ex-husband couldn't take it anymore from my ex SIL.
I think she was trying to make my brother take his own life also. Too bad she didn't succeed with my brother - long frickin story with my brother, but he's as mean, if not more mean than Joan Freaking Rivers!
