Even when it came to talking about death, beloved comedienne Joan Rivers was a straight shooter. While she wanted her funeral to be a 'big showbiz affair' it's kind of hilarious to think that the usually despised paparazzi was welcome but the likes of Michelle Obama, Chelsea Handler and Adele were forbidden. I guess that is one thing that proves that this iconic entertainer really was just a normal person at the end of the day- she also had a few people that she would rather not deal with just like all of the rest of us! -
Howard Stern Eulogizes Joan Rivers As Hundreds Turn Out For Star Studded Somber Funeral At Manhattan's Temple Emanu-El
Leave it to Howard Stern to show up at Joan Rivers funeral and mention her private parts in his eulogy. In truth the comedienne would probably not have wanted it any other way, right? Joan's sharp wit and bawdy commentary is what made her a star and so she certainly wouldn't want Stern to censor himself even at her funeral. That aside, Joan Rivers funeral at 11a.m. this morning at Manhattan's Temple Emanu-El was as star studded as any red carpet event that she had the privilege of dissecting. The only difference was that it was a much somber occasion, one that paid tribute to a Hollywood legend that paved her own way to iconic status -
Joan Rivers Private Funeral To Be Held Today At Manhattan's Temple Emanu-El
Comedienne Joan Rivers had often joked about death, her own. I think that's one of the reasons why everyone liked her- nothing was off limits and she could tear into herself just as quickly as she dissected a red carpet disaster dress. She had joked about wanting a red carpet and for it to be an over the top paparazzi affair with Bobby Vinton singing at her head. She also wanted a wind machine a' la Beyonce so that even in death her hair would have perfect movement. Only Melissa Rivers knows for sure which of these requests her mother was serious about but rumor has it that Joan will indeed be buried with a red carpet after her funeral later today in NYC. -
