Joan Rivers

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born March 2, 1904, and the writer did his work under the pen names ‘Theo LeSieg’, ‘Rosetta Stone’ and most famously, Dr. Seuss.

He published articles and illustrations to Life, Vanity Fair and The Saturday Evening Post. But anyway, what is this, Wikepedia? Here are five celebrities who look like characters from Dr. Seuss' books.

Thing 1 & Lady Gaga: In this shoot for The Sydney Morning Herald, Lady Gaga looks like either Thing 1 or Thing 2 from Dr. Seuss’ ‘The Cat in the Hat. Gaga, your Suess-inspired hair is oh, so neat! And much more attractive than your dress of meat.
Can we talk? No, really, I’m not doing a Joan Rivers impression, I’m legitimately asking. Because I think her mouth is on the back of her neck now.

Joan Rivers is as pulled back and plastic and she is hilarious, but you gotta admit, she looks good. The woman is 78 years-old, for crying out loud.

But Joan’s daughter, Melissa, thinks her mom has gone under the knife one too many times. So she staged a Plastic Surgery Intervention for Joan on their WeTV hit Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?

‘Can we talk?’ Sure, as long as you have $29 million. Actually, $29.5 million.

Joan Rivers, the acerbic voice of the E! show Fashion Police, is selling her 5,190 square foot Manhattan duplex.

Designed in a neo-French Classic style, the condo has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a library, terrace, and gorgeous views of Central Park. And, quite possibly, also a ghost.

As hard as it is, we’re not covering Anthony Weiner’s Twitter scandal. Instead, we’ve got a whole package of other tweets from celebs we’re just nuts about.

These stars were exploding with things to say this week, and we pulled out the best of them.

Oh, and also, penis.
The entertainment industry lost a legend today and the world lost an icon. Elizabeth Taylor passed away this morning at the age of 79 due to congestive heart failure, but she certainly won't be forgotten.

Stars are paying tribute to the late icon, who was not only an extraordinary woman, but a tireless advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness. Here's what the stars had to say:

"Elizabeth was the last great movie star. And a great human being. What I'll always remember about Elizabeth was her laugh.

Joan Rivers needs to go back to the crypt she was keeping prior to E! bringing her back on television. Seriously, they couldn’t find someone better than that bag of bones for their Fashion Police show?

Getting back on track here, the reason we’re even bringing this contemptible woman up is because she was just quoted, talking about Heidi Montag’s recent foray into the underworld of plastic surgery.

Top 10 Most Overexposed Reality Stars

Unsurprisingly, Joan doesn’t agree with the rest of us that Montag overdid it a tad with her 10 surgeries in one day. In fact, Rivers says, "I think she should have started sooner!"

She added that Heidi “looks fine,” but thinks she “should have done it in stages.”

Joan recently defended Heidi’s decision to nip and tuck her whole body, telling them, “It’s a business of beauty…you have to look good.”

She also said any celebrity who says they haven’t gone under the knife is lying, and that she’s pissed that Heidi got all that work done for “under $30,000.”

Hmmmm, we sense a little jealousy on Joanie’s part! She’ probably just pissed that face lifts were the only thing around when she was in her twenties.

But if you ask us, it’s all the same—Heidi and Joan both look like mannequins.
Joan Rivers is known for her brash humor. The woman doesn’t hold back when it comes to stating her opinion! And her latest enemy is Victoria Beckham.

Joan has lashed out at the former Spice Girl in the past. In 2008, she said, “The entitlement - the total entitlement. You want to say: ‘Calm down, you were a Spice Girl.’ The arrogance when she walks into a room is astonishing.”

Now, Joan has launched yet another attack on Victoria, this time slamming her spending habits. She said, “Victoria Beckham is so nasty. Why doesn’t she just go home?! Her dresses are beautiful, but I don’t care what she does. She’s mean to all the people around her. She’s too short to be a diva. We all use the same hairdressers, make-up artists, limo-drivers and greeters at the airports in LA and nobody has anything nice to say about her. They say she’s rude. She can’t always just be having a bad day . . . Victoria Beckham should get a life. I am not a fan of outrageous consumption. I think it is vulgar. And no-one should flaunt that they have a hundred Hermes bags. Not when people are starving. Everyone should be allowed to have a great time but she shows a distinct lack of class.”

We understand that Joan probably mistakes Victoria’s lack of smiling as arrogance. But she herself has opened up about the way she’s perceived, and said she’s just not a smily person. After seeing Posh on Idol, it’s clear she’s a sweet woman, and not trying to flaunt her money. Joan better stop talking smack about everyone in town or she’s going to be kicked off television for good!

Most people were touched by Brooke Shields’ speech at Michael Jackson’s memorial. But there’s one person who was not impressed, and that’s Joan Rivers.

She’s never one to hold back her thoughts, and has made a career out of being opinionated. She made it pretty clear how she felt about Brooke’s tearful speech at Michael’s memorial.

Joan told TMZ, "I'd love to roast Brooke Shields. Michael's dearest friend. She hasn't seen him since 1993."

When the paparazzi tried to side with Brooke, she told them, “Oh darling, grow up! It’s called face time.

Check out the video below to hear Joan’s comments. Do you agree with her, or did you think Brooke’s speech was genuine?

Joan Rivers is not a fan of Angelina Jolie! She recently slammed her for being "stupid."

While being interviewed by the British show GMTV, she said, "Well, I've worked with stupid actresses - I've worked with Angelina Jolie - she saw a sign that said 'WET FLOOR' one time, and she did! I mean she's attractive, but not a bright girl. Stunningly beautiful but stupid…she would have asked Stevie Wonder, 'What's your favorite color?'"

That's kind of strange, because Angie is anything but stupid. Especially in recent years, she's proven to be not only a great actress, but a great mother and woman in general. Sorry Joan, we're gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on this one!
Earlier this week, we reported that Joan Rivers got kicked off a British Television show after saying the word Fu** on Live TV after they specifically warned her not to curse. Well, she was sorry at first but now in true Joan fashion, she just seems pissed.

She says, "Lemme get this straight. Bin Laden's top man has been released. The price of petrol is through the roof. There's inflation, depression. And people are hysterical because I said f**k?

"I was having a great time and everybody was laughing. Then these people - these idiots - came running onto the set and ripped me off my seat and dragged me off.?

"They were saying 'Let's go, let's go, let's go'. I thought I was being arrested."

She’s acting like she could use that kind of language on American TV. You can’t Joan! She’s funny though in an annoying obnoxious sort of way. Maybe Joan should try to sign herself up as The View co-host for a short time. That would be interesting. But it should only be for a short time because we’ll probably all get sick of her.

Watch the video of Joan right before she got kicked out below:
