I was actually watching Joan Rivers last night.
I feel like I need to explain that. Sometimes Jenny phones me up and says, turn to channel [whatever] - because there is something she wants me to see while she unburdens herself of whatever comment is gnawing at her. Last night that was The Fashion Police with Joan Rivers. That's why I was watching Joan Rivers.
Anyhoo, I thought she looked great. She has gone through a complete metamorphosis. For a long, long time - for me anyway - she was the embodiment - along with Cher - of all that is wrong with plastic surgery culture. She looked freakish and inhuman and ridiculous. But looking at her last night, I was thinking, 'you know, compared to how she would probably look compared to if she had just aged naturally and was a regular 78 year-old (or whatever) that's pretty good.' They have softened up the extreme plasticy freakishness and, while she still looks a bit weird, it is probably better than an unmodified 78 year-old Joan Rivers.
Cher I still find too weird looking. Last I saw her anyway.
Now if you are just talking about her behavior being atrocious, I probably agree with that. I saw a documentary about her a couple years back and she is a pretty pathetic human being. And not funny. For some reason I assumed she must at least be a little bit funny - being a comedienne and all - but no, very seldom.
