Joan Promises to Offend!

"Whatever I do, I promise it will be outrageous and offend people," about the Just for Laughs gala she is hosting tonight.

Think what you will about Joan Rivers, but girlfriend has stood the test of time in a tough, male-dominated field. She is 75-years-old and is still one of the top comediennes out there. How many other female comedians have had any longevity? I can think of a handful--Kathy Griffin, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell--and none of them are in their seventies!

In an article for The Gazette Joan explains, "Comedy is a man's field. Always has been and always will be. The women who have made it have to be so strong to hang in." Preach on!

And what about Joan's love life??? Since her husband passed away in 1987, she has ventured to date a few men. "There was one fellow that I really wanted to keep around, but he died a couple of months ago and I figured he would have started to smell. Besides, there wouldn't have been much conversation, either."

Melissa Rivers will be on Girl's Night on the Q this Thursday from 7-10 p.m. After watching the promos for this, I'm thinking that there are going to be waaaaay too many chit-chatty hens in the hen house on that show! (Think TheView on crack!)

Joan will be back on July 1st.

And for the record, Queen Bea loooves Joan Rivers bawdy, unapologetic and (mostly) offensive humor! And I love her love of dogs. Click here to see pics of her new puppy, Samantha.

Chaz Dean's New Triplets!

After the deaths of Chaz's two dogs, Grace and Montgomery, he has recently welcomed three new additions to the Chaz Dean Studio family: Spencer, Hunter, & Ella--or The Trinity as he calls them!

They are sooooooo cute!!!

I have never tried the WEN products sold on QVC and I have to admit that the concept of washing with conditioner kinda sorta scares me! They have a huge cult following so there must be something to it! I would definitely try a free sample though.

You can even use the products on your pets. They recommend using the Sweet Almond Mint, Fig, Cucumber Aloe or Lavender Cleansing Conditioners on your animals. They do not recommend using Tea Tree on animals as they tend to be allergic or sensitive to Tea Tree. For dogs they follow with the Sweet Almond Mint or Fig Oil on their dry coat, keeping them soft, shiny & smelling heavenly. WEN products and ingredients are not tested on animals.

Chaz was on last week for only one one-hour show to celebrate his anniversary with the Q. Supposedly, he has several new products in the works and they just weren't ready in time for the big anniversary. So don't fret! He'll be on again soon.

If you would like to make a donation honoring Grace Kelly Dean and Montgomery Clift Dean, please call (970)491-3932 or visit the "Premier Animal Cancer Research Facility" website.

Joan Rivers Delivers New Baby Too!

No, not deliver exactly ... had delivered to her home perhaps! While on the Q with Lisa Robertson, Joan recently showed off the latest addition to her family--a 10-week-old Havanese puppy named Sam (short for Samantha).

Joan recently lost her dog, Lulu, to cancer, and although she knows that it isn't a good idea to get another dog while still in morning, she just felt the house was empty.

Joan said on her blog that she was looking for "a small, docile female. These requirements were essential as Max, my rescue Pekingese, hates everybody" He's not taking to the new addition and refuses to even be in the same room with her--poor little Sam!

As a dog lover, what Joan had to say about the recent passing of her beloved dog, Lulu, made me cry. My heart goes out to her.

"Unfortunately, our dear friend and beloved companion, Lulu, had to be put down early this morning. I’m sure, however, that she is now in a place where she can bark all she wants, lick all she likes, chew yellow tennis balls to her heart’s content, and feast on a never-ending bowl of delicious liver treats. Lulu shared my bed and my heart for 12 wonderful years. The thing that I will treasure (and miss) the most is that she is the only dog I ever had who truly smiled."

ETA: Be sure to check out Joan on Celebrity Family Feud on NBC in July where she faces off against rapper, Ice-T. My money is on Joan.
