Melissa Rivers

BRISTOL PALIN AND JOAN RIVERS LIVING TOGETHER?

With no “Mr Selfridge” to look forward to on Sunday nights, we have to find other amusements. “Celebrity Wife Swap” can be surprisingly revealing and this week Bristol Palin and Melissa Rivers are trading places as single mothers. Bristol lives in small town Wasilla, Alaska with her sister Willow and her 4 year old son Tripp. Melissa lives in a Los Angeles mansion with her mother Joan Rivers and her son Cooper, 12. (Willow and Joan will stand in for the missing “husbands.”) How BRAVE is Bristol to move in with Joan, who has probably made hundreds of Sarah Palin jokes? (We recall Joan labeling Palin “a Nazi, stupid and crazy.”) It just shows how much these girls love doing reality shows. Definitely worth a look tonight on ABC.

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.
