WHY VICTORIA PRINCIPAL’S POSSIBLE RETURN TO “DALLAS” IS FRAUGHT WITH PERIL

#victoriaprincipal #dallas #joanrivers #janetcharlton

Victoria Principal, 62, has good reason to be nervous about returning to television after a long absence. Her skin care line Principal Secret keeps her busy and she doesn’t need the money. But producers of the new Dallas show on TNT are bending over backwards to lure her back – even for just a few appearances. The audience is begging for her to return. She’s tempted, but through the years she’s had considerable cosmetic surgery and looks a bit different. (Actually a lot like LaToya Jackson, if you get our drift.) This means she will once again be a prime target for her arch-enemy Joan Rivers on Fashion Police. Their feud started in the 80’s when Joan accused Victoria of lying during an interview – Victoria shaved five years off her age and denied being engaged to Andy Gibb. Later Joan “accidentally’ revealed Victoria’s home phone number on TV and Victoria sued her for three million dollars. If Dallas viewers get their wish and Pam Ewing returns, Joan will be THRILLED.

JOAN RIVERS AND CHELSEA HANDLER: SHAME ON BOTH OF YOU!

On one hand we like to think this nasty feud between Joan Rivers and Chelsea Handler is a clever publicity stunt to publicize the E! channel. But if it’s NOT, they should BOTH be ashamed. It’s difficult to tell who’s being more childish: Joan has a hot temper and she described Chelsea to Howard Stern as “a whore who slept her way to the top,“not funny” and “a drunk.” She sounds jealous and resentful of Chelsea’s success. Chelsea dismissed Joan’s comments “What the f—do I care about Joan Rivers?” as if Joan is of no importance. Joan IS important- she’s a pioneer in the field of female comedians. Yes, she paved the way for women like Chelsea. Chelsea IS funny and she’s the first one to admit she drinks and slept with the boss. Both Chelsea and Joan are demeaning themselves with this petty behavior- don’t they know women must stick together? Get a grip, you two.

WE HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF PHIL SPECTOR

Who IS this familiar looking guy? It’s Al Pacino made up to resemble Phil Spector for his yet-untitled HBO movie. He probably has a whole room just for his wigs in this project because Spector’s coiffure changed radically over the years. We met the very scary Spector at a Christmas party back in the late 90’s at Joan Rivers’ house (he was dating her assistant) and he was very loud and bossy and guzzled creme de menthe. He made Joan rather nervous. But he did play the piano.

MAYBE JOAN AND MELISSA RIVERS WEREN’T IN THE MOOD FOR DRAG QUEENS

Joan Rivers disappointed drag queens and their fans at The Rage in West Hollywood last night. Every Tuesday the fiercest drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race put on a dazzling musical show and it’s a huge draw- standing room only. Everyone got very excited when it was announced that Joan and Melissa Rivers would be judging the talent and filming it for their reality show. The excited drag queens were dressed up in their finest when the film crew arrived and started bossing everyone around. Joan was in no mood to sit through all those musical performances so she just picked five “girls” to walk the runway and she decided the winner on LOOKS alone. The crowd was upset – NO MUSIC- no fun- and the queens were disgruntled. A source told us Joan and Melissa weren’t very sociable – they barely spoke to anyone, much less each other, and the festivities didn’t start until they left at midnight.

“MOTHER KNOWS BEST:” JOAN RIVERS WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET MELISSA A JOB

We thought something was fishy when Joan Rivers put her Marie Antoinette-style New York penthouse up for sale in May for 25 million dollars. (Click here for details on The Real Estalker) Joan originally moved from LA to New York because she felt it was the only place a mature woman could find a decent social life – and she has THRIVED there, rubbing elbows with high society. So what possessed her to pack up and LEAVE? The prospect of having a reality show with her lookalike daughter is probably the only thing that could have pried her out of her beloved NYC. Joan is moving in with Melissa and her son Cooper and possibly a boyfriend in LA for their show called “Mother Knows Best.” Let’s face it, Melissa has mouths to feed and Joan has always been there for her. The show will air in December on WE.

JOAN RIVERS DIDN’T HAVE LOADS OF FUN IN SUNDANCE

Joan Rivers paid a whirlwind visit to Sundance in a full length mink and sunglasses, looking like she belongs on Park Avenue. She was promoting a documentary about her called “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work.” Apparently, it didn’t open many doors for her. Joan griped that she couldn’t get access to see anybody else’s movies and wasn’t invited to gifting suites while she was there – a big disappointment.
