Joan Rivers gets booted off the red carpet for good

April

Last week, somehow the news of Sanjaya getting voted off “American Idol” eclipsed an equally important story: Joan and Melissa Rivers losing their jobs at the TV Guide Channel. Ok, wait, that’s retarded. There are probably only a dozen people who even care whether or not Team Rivers is on the red carpet—and they probably all live in Larchmont (Joan’s former hometown).

That said, I was surprised that there are actually people out there celebrating the departure of Rivers & Rivers. This gloating tirade from PopMatters, likening Melissa to Sanjaya and delving into how Rivers stabbed Johnny Carson in the back, is one interesting take.

And for all you Rivers lovers out there, it’s not all bad news for Joan. Apparently she’s training to run for the 2007 New York City Marathon. She says as much on her blog, though her claim that “I have run in the last four New York City Marathons” doesn’t exactly check out, according to Gothamist. Whether or not she has indeed run before, if she finishes this time it’ll be an inspiration to septuagenarian, quadruple-face-lift victims everywhere.
