Melissa Rivers to mom: enough plastic surgery!

Melissa Rivers has a message for her mom: enough plastic surgery She said her 77-year-old mother's surgical enhancements are a source of conflict. Comic Joan Rivers said in a book she wrote two years ago, "Men Are Stupid ... And They Like Big Boobs — A Woman's Guide to Beauty Through Plastic Surgery," that she's had more than a dozen cosmetic surgeries. "In my opinion, it's like enough," Melissa Rivers said. "Stop it. It is a source of conflict, it really is. It bothers me." more...

Comparing earlier pictures with more recent ones, we can see that her eyes and mouth have been continuously stretching out with time, making her eyes to look smaller and making it harder to change her expression. 

Her nose is very peculiar, a classic rhinoplasty, probably popular when she got it done.  Her cheeks could be treated with some kind of filler injections or implants,  not to mention the (who knows how many) botox injections all over her face to reduce and practically eliminate any single wrinkle or expression lines. more...

Joan Rivers talks about plastic surgery, hecklers, and her new documentary 'Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work'

Joan Rivers is having a moment. At 77, the raunchy comedy icon is coming off one of the biggest years of her career, what with The Celebrity Apprentice, her string of sold-out stand-up shows, and her new TV Land series, How’d You Get So Rich? Now, as you may have heard, she’s the subject of a terrific new documentary, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work. We spoke to the lightning-quick comedienne about her fondness for plastic surgery, how to deal with hecklers, and what she thinks about seeing her life on the big screen.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work is surprisingly honest about your ups and downs. What did you think of it when you first saw it?
JOAN RIVERS: I’m too close to it. When I first saw it I thought, Why did you leave out this or that? But the directors did a great job. It was a year and a half of my life! To find 85 minutes out of all that they shot…

I liked how unvarnished and honest it was…
That was me…she said humbly. I thought, if we’re doing a biography with talking heads saying, “I love you Joan,” then I don’t want to do it. The deal is you have total access and put in what you want. I’m not going to name names, but there were two documentary biographies last year where at the end you didn’t know a damn thing about the subjects. What am I wasting my time sitting in a theater? I could have seen Avatar instead!

One of the highlights of the film — and your career — was the night that Johnny Carson told you were going to be a big star.
You have to understand, it was after seven ye ars of being told, “You’re too wild, you’re too crazy, a girl can’t say those kinds of things.” Three weeks before I was on the Carson show, my own agent said to me, “Everybody’s seen you, it ain’t gonna happen.” And not in a mean way. Just, “Sweetheart, go to law school.” And the night before I went on Carson, a comic bombed and Bill Cosby — who was white hot at that moment — he had seen me in the Village and he said to them, you might as well use Joan, she can’t be any worse than the guy you had on last night! I was brought on in the last ten minutes of the show — the worst slot. And God bless Johnny Carson, he said right there on the air, “You’re going to be a big star.” And I looked behind me — I thought he was talking to the person behind me. And my life changed the next morning. The next morning I went into the bank to kite a check — which means I asked them to hold it for another day — and the girl behind the teller said, “I saw you last night! “And I knew my life was going to be different.
