I didn't even know she was a comedian once! She is neither charming nor funny! Heck, if she cut her hair short, she could take over the 'Joker' role in the next Batman movie. She won't even need any special effects or make up!

I don't follow her but see her around, Graham Norton, the fashion police. She has some really good one liners. She has survived lot of ups and downs. I think she can be funny, I respect her work ethic. She has opinions and unlike other Hollywood celebs is at a point in her career she can say what she thinks and does which does not bother me the least even if I don't always agree. I like that she puts it out there, to many people fawning all over each other, you watch any of those entertainment shows and the reporting is all the same "THE MOST AMAZING, THE MOST TALENTED" they don't say anything about anybody, not Paris Hilton, every movie is wonderful (thanks for that recommendation and the waste of my 10.00) nope its a tight town. I realize some of the delivery is for shock effect but I appreciate the honesty.

Opinions are not talent. We all have opinions; she seems to think that being "honest" gives her the right to insult people. That is a poor way to get attention and make people laugh. If you can't be funny without resorting to hatefulness, then, IMO you are not funny.

There is a thin line between cutting edge and just plain old vulgar. There are times she has stepped a little too far over that line. But I have to admit, when she is funny.....she is VERY funny. I like her.

If you have a Netflix account, there is a really interesting Biography on her in the documentary section. I watched it awhile back. She is really a work-a-holic and has amazing stamina for a 75 year old. I do plan on giving her new reality show a try.

I also like Tommy L Jones as an actor....but it isn't the first time someone has commented on what an a$$clown he is in real life.

"I should've voted for David Hasselhoff. They both sucked as dancers."

Joan Rivers on Tommy Lee Jones: 'He Makes Hitler Look Warm and Fuzzy' | PopEater.com
She probably does not like him because he would not "suck up" to her in the true Hollywood fashion. I have read other articles about Tommy Lee Jones and nobody mentioned he was particularly unpleasant.

Tommy Lee Jones is a very nice man or seems to be . I saw him once in new york walking with his agent I do believe , I asked him for an autograph and he said sure and I said thank you and he actually said your welcome back to me . Joan rivers is a snot and she and joy behar should retire . I would not want to talk to her either . Yeah those of you thinking about plastic surgery should look at her first .

Some people thought so. Back in the day she was a regular on Johnny Carson...maybe she worked cheap or lived close to the studio so she could be a last minute fill in.
