Joan Rivers Not Happy About Missing Out On A Mardi Gras Float

Ladies and gentlemen, the woman who talked openly at the Logies a few ago about John Wood’s trick pelvis is back in Australia, and already her gums are fast flapping away at media. Yes, Joan Rivers had only been in the country for just sixty minutes before she rang up Confidential and gave them access to her brilliant mind, and here are the results.

Despite a nasty case of laryngitis, within an hour of touching down in Sydney yesterday the bestselling author and plastic surgery aficionado was on the blower to Confidential and, as always, speaking her mind.

“I have a manager and I think he was drunk when he did this – I thought I was going to be on a float,” she said. “It’s very disorganised.”

I’m sure there will be enough drag queens on floats who resemble Joan Rivers to more than make up for this oversight. Oh, and she also took the time to have a dig at Mel Gibson too.

While happy to gush about her “venomous” stand-up show at the Enmore tonight, Rivers quickly turned when talk switched to Gibson. “I hate him so much – he doesn’t like Jews and I’m Jewish,” she said. “I will never talk with him in a room with an oven.”

Arf!

PS: Sydney Confidential, I think Joan is blasting her manager as ‘disorganised’, not the Mardi Gras itself. But I could be wrong, you lot clearly know her better than I do. CALL ME, JOAN.
