Amy Adams And David Letterman To Dim Bulb Lisa Rinna: You Should 'Be Fired'
Posted by Molly Friedman at 5:04 AM on March 1, 2008
On last night's Late Show, guest Amy Adams and David Letterman decided to review one of poufy-lipped red carpet host Lisa Rinna's numerous gaffes on Oscar night. And after seeing this particular stomach-turning foul for the third time, we're gonna have to agree with Letterman and Adams, who essentially came to the conclusion that the soap star turned Joan Rivers 2.0 "should be fired." The best part? Even Rinna agrees!
As Letterman's clip gruesomely shows, Rinna not only goofed by congratulating Adams on her Oscar nomination this year (c'mon, even our aunt in Sacramento with no cable knows who was nominated!), but also had no recollection of Amy's nom two years ago for her role in Junebug. Which delightfully reminds us of one of our favorite Defamer clips so far this year, in which Rinna and her shoved-together silicone enhancements cackled along with Casey Affleck on the SAGs carpet. From asking him a very important question regarding what kind of gum he was chewing, to forming her "questions" in the style of "So, I just watched two of your movies, which one do ya think I watched first?", we're left with a teary revolutionary need to form a petition to get Joan back on the air, stat.

@CatherineTrammell: Well, Joan Rivers was actually interesting.
In my opinion, anyway.
Because Joan wouldn't even have pretended to know who Amy Adams was, nor would she be silent about the fact that she neither knew nor cared.

@SugartitsMcFirecrotch: Not dissin' Sac Town, just speakin' the truth. Said aunt who lives there, and has for all her 60 glorious years, really doesn't have cable and still knew more than RinRin! :-)

Do we have any proof that's not Joan Rivers wearing Lisa Rinna's skin?

If Amy Adams has anyone to take issue with it's Gil Cates for leaving her all alone on stage to sing a song about cleaning toilets.

Lisa Rinna was a consumate professional, didn't get flustered then knew the line of questioning she was doing was going nowhere - so she made a joke and went for the self-depricating "what are you wearing"

Team Adams! I totally love her, and very much in both a "omg she is totally hawt" sense and a "like, we could be best friends!" sense.

Lisa could have easily redeemed herself by telling Amy how much she enjoys her character 'Pam' on 'The Office'.

If I'm not correct, Joan got away with it by never actually asking anybody anything about themselves or their careers.

Well if anybody is the authority in getting it wrong - it would be Lisa...
