Seriously - all this grief over Joan Rivers?

But, she broke a lot of glass ceilings.

I'm the one who pointed this out in the other thread - it is so, so true. And she certainly made as much fun of herself - even her husband's suicide - as much as she made fun of others.

I think her career was groundbreaking. At the same time, her current career is pretty insignificant.

So......OP is mad because people are mourning her death?

I think you need to ask some questions about your own life and your own happiness if people showing grief over the death of a famous person upsets you. Maybe you did not value her, but clearly others did.

She did a lot of work with charities in NYC.

What would OP be jealous of?

Fame

Some needy people are jealous about absolutely anything, even attention paid to someone who passed away. Sick, needy weird people out there.

OP, a lot of people admire her and some even liked her. I don't understand how you can call her mean and say she hit below the belt when you are posting this about her a few hours after her death. Maybe that is why you are jealous -- you see yourself in your own description of her, minus the fame and fortune and hobnobbing with the stars and groundbreaking and history making and all that, of course.

P.S. -- most healthy people know how to take a joke. They don't mind.

She was just on Jimmy Fallon a few nights ago, promoting her new book. I hope I am that dynamic when I am 81. She was amazing.

Seriously? She was a mean "comedian" who hit below the belt and exploited other people's misfortunes for cheap laughs (like Lindsay Lohan). She was nothing special.

And just as nasty with her humor.

Do you feel that way about all the late night comedians? Because anyone on the news if fair game. Or didn't you know that.

Apparently, it's a terrible sin to make fun of a bunch of self-important wealthy people who dress up in free stuff and to go to a 4-hour party to metaphorically fellate one another.

From the Ed Sullivan show to Jimmy Fallon - I can't think of another performer who has spanned such a time frame. Love her act or hate it, she broke ground for female comedians and should be remembered for at least that.

RIP. A witty, highly intelligent woman. One of Barnard's best (the real Barnard).

I think she was one of a kind, and I'm going to miss her personality, style and humor.

What kind of procedure was it? Hate to ask but was it cosmetic surgery?
