She Doesn't Know When To Shut It

Filed under: Joan Rivers

wenn1980997.jpg

Joan Rivers was recently a featured speaker at the Women of Distinction Awards Gala in Orlando, Florida.

The event is a yearly fundraiser by the Girl Scouts.

Rivers was there as part of the tribute, but she behaved less than womanly and more like a trash-talking sailor.

At a Girl Scouts fundraiser!

According to reports, Rivers used the "F" word several times and even repeatedly called women "whores."

She then continued by listing the things that the Girl Scouts didn't teach.

For example, Rivers joked that Paris Hilton didn't earn the "wearing panties patch."

Kinda funny. Kinda not. But, definitely inappropriate for an awards show honoring outstanding women and benefiting the Girl Scouts.

Dontcha think????

You need to know your audience.

      Better question: Why would the Girl Scouts ask Joan Rivers to speak in the first place? hmmmmmmmm that's like Rosie O to speak at Christian convention. You already know how they are gonna act, so why ask them?

      She should of talked about her melted plastic flaps of meat she calls a labiaplasty.

      Her face and body alone is uninviting and inappropriate.

      I think its hilarious! I blame the organization that hired her for the event. Granted you need to know your audience, but a true artist doesn't censor his/her material for anyone. Say what you will about Joan, she is still an artist, and I applaud her for sticking to her guns, however inappropriate. The 1st Amendment is an all or nothing thing. U cannot have it both ways….you, Perez, should know that!

      Ok, let me get this straight. A fundraiser for the Girl Scouts invites JOAN RIVERS as a guest speaker AND THEN IS OFFENDED BY HER SCHTICK???
      *
      Are you kidding me? Is this for real? Joan earned her chops talking trash. I'm not saying she's entertaining. I personally find her to be a horribly surgically altered, crass, vulgar, dried up old lady, but I mean come on … I'm not exactly going to ask my kid's PTA to have her as a guest anytime soon.
      *
      Is this for real? What a bunch of dumb asses. They deserved all the spew that came out of her mouth.

    29. 29

      They should not have invited her if they did not want to hear her. She has been doing this for about 40 years so people by now should now what they are in for when they invite her to speak a a function. Go Joan…keep it raw.

      Everyone knows Joan's brand of humor so no one should have been surprised. I say "know your comediennes". Joan has always been foul-mouthed and crude. That's just who she is. It was totally inappropriate to have her perform at a Girl Scouts function. Duh.



    36. 36

      Ha Ha Ha, I absolutely ~Love it~. I would have loved to see the mouths drop open when Ms Joan started talking. Damn, the only thing that could have topped that (get it? Topped?) would have been if she pulled out the leather and cracked it a few times over the heads of those stick-in-the-ass folks. But really, what did they think she was going to talk about?

    37. tina says – reply to this


      37

      "awards show honoring outstanding women"So there weren't actual girl scouts present? Hardly inappropriate if that's the case. Everyone knows how close to the envelope Joan sails.. they only have themselves to blame it they have the audacity to be offended.

      Re: coloc – coloc #24, did you really use the word "journalism" when referring to Perez's blog? Perez didn't even graduate high school, let alone study journalism. If Perez is a journalist then half of the people who comment on his blogs must have PhD degrees.

      43

      Perez, I love you dearly but you are wrong on this and missing two valid points. Firstly, I doubt very much that any Girl Scouts/Guides were in the audience - this was a fundraiser *for* them, not with them. Secondly, you book Joan Rivers you should know that *that* is exactly what you will get. She swears, she is vulgar. That is her thing; that's what she does. And incidentally she is brilliant at it. It's a charity do, so for them to turn around when she is helping out a charity, and bitch about her for being herself (and knowing what she is what she does) is absoulte BULLSHIT on their part. Idiots.

      It's definitely not Joan's fault. The error lies with whomever hired her. You don't hire Joan Rivers and then expect her to act like Mother Theresa.

      Joan Rivers has the class and style of an underpaid street walker. Her shtick is as old as she is and not funny since Milton Berle was on radio. If she is not ripping into someone, she hasa nothing to say, which I find very sad and depressing. As for her vulgar language, I am not sure if it is her fault or the proctologist she goes to for face lifts and lip collagen. She should simply retire and fade away so that we can remember her as an old has been.

      54

      Yes — Joan should know her audience, but then again the Girl Scouts made her part of the evening. It's a shared responsibility on this one — leaning more towards the organizers being to blame.

      Joan Rivers — I would have bought a ticket to see her 15 years ago….

      Well then why did they ask Joan to speak? Everyone knows what she is like and she's not going to be watching her tongue for anyone. Next time ask the Pope to speak if you can't handle a seasoned comedienne.

      The Girl Scouts? PLEASE.

      I LOVE JOAN. You hate her simply b/c she's "old"

      She's fucking brilliant. GROW UP.

      I can't believe this would show up on Perez!

      It's Joan ! This is what she does, it's not shocking. Has anyone every seen Joan do clean material except on the Johnny Carson Show?

      I saw her on a re-run of Graham Norton, she was smart, quick, hilarious and stretched and plucked to the nines! I believe what he says "She is a national treasure."

      Who ever invited her one, either knew it and wanted the press, or two, is an idiot.

      Neither do you, Perez. You call women "whores" all the time - better Joan Rivers use that word than you. The GS need to stop whining - what do you expect when you hire Joan Rivers?

      Perez, Perez, Perez, what is it about Paris Hilton, I mean I know she is your namesake, but you have no problem trashing anybody, but when it comes to Paris you get all defensive, kind of a sell out. She's one of the most offensive, and should feel your wrath.

      Yeah, inappropriate, but Kathy Griffin would have done far worse. She has even less decorum.
      Hmmm… in fact, as I think of it, I can see Kathy being exactly like Joan in 30 years.
      Am I wrong?

      It's pretty obvious inviting Joan Rivers is going to mean you're inviting that sort of behaviour. Shouldn't it be the organisers should know their speakers more so than Joan knowing her audience

      77

      The audience needs to know who they invite!! My god, Joan Rivers has been doing comedy for 40 years - they should have known before they booked her!

      BTW, I interviewed Joan last month during Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival and she could not have been more gracious…AND funny! LOVED HER!!!!

      78

      Well now, I guess it all depends on what comprised the population of her audience. Sure, it was benefiting the Girl Scouts organization… but chances are… it was ALL ADULTS at the engagement where she spoke.

      Big deal!

      Why the hell would the girl scouts honor joan rivers, or have her there in the first place. What did you expect? Is she some new "unknown" comedian, whose material can't be anticipated? NO

      She has made a living off of a routine that uses foul language, and calls women whores etc. for like 50 years now. Inappropriate? WHY BOOK HER?

      GROW UP

      85

      Before she got fired from her TV Guide red carpet gig, she was on the red carpet making jokes before the whole country about Anna Nicole Smith and her own plastic surgery that literally made me cringe. She's not in the sleazy nightclubs, she's on national TV. No wonder Murdoch dumped this vulgar, classless woman and her no talent kid as soon as her contract was up, and she hasn't found a red carpet network that wants to host her. She only hawks cheap jewelry these days.

      Perez is so right about know your audience, and respond accordingly. I've seen Perez on CNN and Headline News, and he is smart enough to tailor his comments to a more general audience than when he is on MTV, or his own site. This old bat hasn't learned that at 2 and a half times Perez's age. She's gross where ever she goes.

      whose idea was it to invite joan rivers to a girl scout thing? ever listened to what happens when she opens her mouth? 'parently not.

      97

      HELLO!!! Is Joan Rivers act a secret. Does anyone not know she is going to drop the F-bomb, or worse? Why did the Girl Scouts invite J.R. to a fundraiser? Maybe because those manipulative little bitches where planning on a some free publicity…

    98. Desti says – reply to this


      98

      If there were actually children at the fundraiser then I agree with you Perez. However, if this was a Girl Scouts fundraiser in which only adults were present, then the relevant question is not didn't she know her audience but didn't they know who they had hired? It's like the folks who hire Kathy Griffen to some corporate event and then try to censor her or are surprised by her act. Joan Rivers is going to be (and should be) Joan Rivers wherever she performs. If that's not the act they wanted, they shouldn't have hired her in the first place.

    99. Cashm says – reply to this


      99

      I can't believe I'm defending Joan Rivers (ugh) here but I disagree. I think it's odd that she was hired to speak at a Girl Scout Event, frankly. Not the most logical "fit", per se. But I think it's the responsibility of the booking agent to know the entertainer's style and frankly, you know what you're going to get when you hire Joan Rivers. She simply delivered her act. Now whether hiring her for a Girl Scout Event was appropriate is another story…

    100. Luke says – reply to this


      100

      Seriously Perez… I have to agree with some of these people. You have a lot of nerve saying she's inappropriate when you call young girls sluts and whores and draw cum stains coming out of there mouth like it's a regular day at the office… which I guess it is for you. But come on now… you're gonna put Joan Rivers down?!
