Joan Rivers: I'll Pay For Lindsay Lohan's Rehab

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 14th 2010 02:45PM

Joan Rivers is known and loved for her acerbic wit, but her recent jabs at soon-to-be jailed Lindsay Lohan have entered her into a war of the words with the starlet's former gal pal, DJ Samantha Ronson. Rivers, who authored multiple tweets about Lohan's legal troubles, is now defending her stance on the actress, telling The Insider, "The jokes, my God, were so minor ... I suggest that [Ronson] not worry abut the jokes; worry about Lindsay."

One of the tweets under attack by Ronson was a commentary on Lohan's seemingly disrespectful choice of nail polish, of which Rivers wrote, "Lindsay Lohan had 'F*ck You' painted on her nails. What people don't know is that the judge had 'Eat me you party skank' painted on hers."

Samantha Ronson fired back at the TV host on her Twitter, saying, "Hey Joan Rivers -- you have collagen older than Lindsay, pick on someone your own age, oh wait, I guess people that old can't hear. #bully".

Despite the seemingly mean-spirited nature of her jokes, Rivers claims that she was coming from a place of concern, saying, "People are coming out of the woodwork upset that I did a joke about her. I think they should worry about Lindsay Lohan ... That girl is going to be dead in ten years if somebody doesn't take better care of her."

"If I were Lindsay Lohan's parents, I wouldn't be on television discussing it and I wouldn't be going after Joan Rivers for doing a stupid joke on her blog. I would be taking her into rehab." Rivers, who called Lohan "beautiful and talented" then offered to pay for Lindsay's treatment herself.

However, despite the negative press currently surrounding the actress, it seems as though it may have brought the former couple, whose countless feuds were well documented by the media, closer together. The two were spotted having dinner in Los Angeles over the weekend, the first time the two have been seen in public together in nearly a year. Upon hearing the reports that Lohan and Ronson had reunited, Rivers tweeted, "Samantha, Lindsay ... you're welcome!"

F*cking anti-semite moron.

Why would anybody be surprised that Rivers is taking this opportunity to poke fun at Lohan? She has been taking jabs at people her whole career. Doesn't anybody remember all the Liz Taylor jokes from the 70's?

Joan, every time I see your face, it makes me sick to my stomach, with all that surgery, it does not help, because all of us know how old you are and as a mother, you should be more understanding.
