She Doesn't Know When To Shut It
Filed under: Joan Rivers
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.

Ok, before we get our panties intertwined with our garters, I think we need to know if there were actual girl scouts in the audience and if so, then how old were they???? When you hire Joan Rivers or a known comedian with similar material there is a shared responsibility implied. They knew exactly what they were getting and she's DAMN FUNNY.
'She doesn't know when' more like 'She doesn't know how' Joan Rivers is too much, seriously. Why doesn't she retire!!!
She's Joan Rivers and that's what they got! Don't blame her. At her age why should she change her style? I think the person who arranged for her to be there should be getting the shit, not Joan.
I think the panties comment is pretty amusing. They can't have been shocked by her behaviour, surely? After all, we see her making comments like that on TV. They know who she is.
No I don't agree. How can this be all Joan's fault? The Girl Scouts should also know who they are booking. Joan River's is known for her outrageous statements and language, so shame on the Girl Scouts for booking her and then complaining about her act.
Hey Perez….Check your source on this one. Only adults attended this event; no girls scouts were present. Come on, everyone knows Joan is Joan and she will never change. She has always the type of comedian who tells it like it is; I'm sure the organizers knew this when they invited her. I'm sure Ms. Griffin has been in similar situations and you don't trash on her.
perez, the day you are proclaimed arbiter of behavior or anything else i will KILL myself. we all saw your DISPLAY on cribs — PATHETIC. you are not competant to judge ANYTHING, as evidenced by those choices. you are NO ONE, you have NOTHING, your taste SUCKS. that apartment is beyond BAD, it's the kinda UGLY you can't EVER in this lifetime come back from, so PLEASE just deliver the gossip and lose the commentary. thank you.
"Kinda funny. Kinda not. But, definitely inappropriate for an awards show honoring outstanding women and benefiting the Girl Scouts.

I think that they should have known their entertainment. Joan Rivers doesn't give a piss about what she says. Her humour is most always inappropriate Perez and I LOVE HER for it.
Since when did you start being the appropriate police Perezille?
We love Joan Rivers.
The Girls Scouts, who allegedly organise the fundraiser need to accept responsibility for booking Joan Rivers and if they feel she was an unsuitable host…in the same vein, I wouldn't invite Perez Hilton to a 'I Shun Celebrity and Would Hate To Be One or Associated with One' Awards Ceremony…
As a GS Young Woman of Distinction from 2007, they've really gone down hill. Last year, the keynote speaker was Maya Angelou. Granted, the YWOD celebration was part of a national leadership convention, that's still a serious step down to Joan Rivers.
Did anybody even read the article?
There were warnings for a 'mature audience' in advance so those who attended and were 'shocked' only have themsleves to blame, really.
I find it quite funny that everyone has this image of Girl Scouts (as a Guide Leader in the UK myself) having no sense of humour and being prudish. Most of the ones I know are as a filthy as Ms Rivers herself!
Good on the Girl Scouts and good on Joan!
She used the F word when she was on a chat show in England. It made the papers the next day. She's got a jewellery line whores out on QVC. Go figure.
She just does it cos she knows it will get publicity. I don't think she's that nice a person, I think she doesn't give a rats ass about who her audience is, she just wants to make a load of money.
Yea, why did they pick her then? You'd get the same thing if you had Kathy G. there. Doy. What did they expect? You ask for Joan, our get Joan. Hillarious. Next time pick someone like Dr. Phil's wife.
That's Their Fault- what did They expect from HER???
Joan Rivers is an outrageously funny woman with an outrageous sense of humor and anyone booking her for an event knows full-well what they will be getting in advance. If the Girl Scouts were shocked or surprised they should blame whoever booked Ms. Rivers for their event, not Joanie!
CHILL PEREZ—THEY KNEW WHEN ASKING JOAN TO SPEAK SHE CAN BE A DAB OFF-COLOR—–SO WHAT—-
I Love Joan!
OMG–she is such a brash, self-absorbed, unsophisticated woman. She forgets she is not amusing to all. Shame on the Girl Scouts for asking her to be a speaker. Why would they think she would be a good representative.
they should know who they are hiring
joan always say whatever she wants
that's why we love her
OK…How can you blme Joan? EVERYONE knows her act!!! It's raunchy, fowl mouthed, and might I add, VERY FUNNY! Knowing that, what the hell were the GIRL SCOUTS doing by hiring her???
I say TOUCHE' to them!!! Those woman had it coming to them!!!
Hats off to you Joan…Don't let those woman kidd you, they probably had the time of their lives!!!
yeah you && Joan have something in commen
you both don't know when to shut it
SHE'S JOAN RIVERS. THE AUDIENCE NEEDS TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE VIEWING NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. NO GREAT COMEDIAN WILL CURTAIL THEIR ACT TO APPEASE THE AUDIENCE. WAKE UP! YOU HIRE JOAN RIVERS, YOU GET JOAN RIVERS. HIRE MOTHER TERESA NEXT TIME.
JR stopped being funny after the suicide of her husband. I'm convinced he wrote her material. She now resorts to cursing to try to be funny. She is not. Sometimes her attempts at humor are pathetic.
She is half right about the whore part.
Ok lets think about who we ask to these kinda things. If you want a lil angel why bring the devil in high heels to do stand up. I love Joan and I think america does too. The ADULTS at this thing may be contributing to the girl scouts but we all know Joan "ain't no girl scout".
Re: heath – Not to children to adults in benifit for children.
The Girls Scouts should have known better than to have her as a speaker. That's the kind of humor Joan Rivers is known for. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the fuckin' kitchen. It's not Joan's fault, she was being herself, it's the fault of the Girl Scout leadership.
SOME PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ATTENTION!!!
Joan is totally funny. I love her humour. Go Rivers!
i think joan rivers should hang it up nobody wants to hear her she looks like the woman who had so many facelifts that wanted to look like a cat,only the cat is cute,. cant say that for her, only if she has one more she will look more like the cats rear than she does now…..and the cat can move its face
Looks like all that botox..is making it's way up her brain..completely paralyzing her ability to think and speak properly…
Re: BB – Ain't that the truth!!!!!!!! Perez, you have some balls (well, balls, maybe not!) for criticizing anyone's behavior when you are nothing but a shit talker yourself!!!! Don't get me wrong, sometimes you do speak the bitter truth, but most of the time it's trash and nothing but trash. I can't believe you became famous for what you do.
As for Joan, well, the Girls Scouts have never been treated like real celebrities, so they hired a professional celebrity…lol. (I used to be a member of the g.scouts and think they get treated like third class citizens and have to make their own money, while the boy scouts get treated like celebrities and get funded…it's the truth!)
This woman needs to be in jail for all the trash she contributed an TV. She is aging and uses any possible way to be in papers. She is not funny and I would like to know wich lobby helped to to get where she is?
Lol Thats awesome!
This is tarded. Just like when everyone got their bowels in an uproar when Roseanne grabbed her nutz and spit after belting out the Star Spangled Banner. Who the hell would book a trash talking comedianne, never known for their singing to sing the fricken SSB and not expect her to do something crazy? Same with Joan R–to address the fricken girl scouts?? As much as i detest those ankle biters accosting me when i go to Safeway, I'd have gone to this function, if invited. Tear them up, girlfriend! (Love that GEICO commercial she does–"Am I smiling?"…
Well, if the Girl Scouts' sister organization, Planned Parenthood, has its way, they will be little whores. Girls are taught the intricacies of birth control, abortion and homosexuality instaed of camping, boating and Christian fellowship as I was taught when I was a Girl Scout.
Perfect training for America's whores-to-be. Maybe they can get them some boob jobs to make the plan complete. In fact the GSA's name should be changed to FWA.
…and this is surprising because why? She's a foul-mouthed hasbeen that says anything to get her name in print. She wasn't even funny in the 60's and 70's when she started. I'm trying to figure out how she's managed to have a career for so long. Even Eddie Murphy stopped the language thing in the early 80's. If I was the Girl Scouts I'd stop payment on the check.
are u kidding me. why did they subject thoses girls to such an old,foul mouthed comedian? Shame on the commity
its not about"knowing your audience", its more about "knowing your speaker" and choosing one who will be a good match for your audience in the first place.
Its insane to expect someone like Joan Rivers at her age to alter her personality and act at this point in time.
Are you for reals? You hire Joan Rivers and they you are surprised when she talks raunchy? That's like hiring Jim Carrey and then being all SHOCKED when he says something funny. I guess this is something Kathy Griffin goes through on the D-List.
