Known as a red carpet host and a plastic surgery queen, Joan Rivers is unhappy that she and her daughter, fellow red carpet host Melissa, have been moved online. After years of strutting the red carpet for E!, the pair will now liveblog the event at www.joanriversblog.com. Telling Page Six of her disgust, Rivers spat, "How dare they! It's just mean and wrong. Are they out of their minds?" Carson Kressley and Guiliana Depandi will replace the mother/daughter duo. On the other hand, Rivers does express her pleasure at berating celebrities in a manner she could not previously. "They've set up my apartment like a war room. I have free rein. I can say, 'She looks like a slut.' I can say, 'I think he's gay,' or this one's nasty or terrific. It appeals to me. The fun was when the celebrities dressed themselves and looked funny. Now they all look perfect and are being very careful with what they say." I reported on former child actor Jodie Sweetin the other day, and as her character Stephanie Tanner (Full House) used to say, "How rude!"

UPDATE: www.tmz.com is reporting that O.J. Simpson says it was family photos, not expensive collectibles, that he was after in Thursday's "sting operation." The website says, "According to auction house owner Tom Riccio, who says he tipped Simpson off and arranged for him to meet with sports memorabilia collector Alfred Beardsley, Simpson just wanted his childhood photos returned. When he found that Beardsley had a collection of his pics, Simpson 'got all worked up,' said Riccio. Beardsley spoke with the Associated Press late yesterday and said that he would give the photos back. 'I feel bad about it,' and added that both he and Simpson feel 'this has gotten way out of control.' Authorities are currently trying to sort out who owned what items, and believe that 'part or all of the items' belong to Simpson, according to Police Captain James Dillon." TMZ spoke exclusively to Alfred Beardsley, who stated that OJ apologized to him several hours ago and said OJ felt as if the whole situation had been blown out of proportion. TMZ adds, "He also said OJ said he felt bad, and that it wasn't supposed to happen that way. According to Beardsley, Simpson says that police advised him to 'work it out amongst themselves' in order to resolve the property issue. Beardsley said the cops had not contacted him since the event. A police report had been filed in the incident. Mr. Beardsley also said that he and OJ have known each other for years and that 'they fight like brothers.' Beardsley felt as though the tip OJ received from another memorabilia dealer was to 'set up' the situation that unfolded in the Palace Station Hotel." Alfred told TMZ that Simpson stormed the room Thursday night after being told by another memorabilia dealer that Beardsley had personal items of his, including childhood photos and the infamous suit worn by OJ the day he was acquitted of murder. Those personal items are what OJ wanted back the most, as they contained photographs and other mementos of close members of his family including his mother. Hmph. If OJ shot someone, I swear he would get away with it. Oh, he already did that...

James Brolin (a.k.a. Mr. Barbra Streisand) disgusted listeners of New Haven's WPLR radio Tuesday when he enthusiastically spouted, "Happy 9/11!" There to promote his new movie, "The Hunting Party," he responded to DJs Chazz and AJ's comment on the day's importance by replying, "Right, oh, yeah, Happy 9/11!" Chazz retorted, "Well, that's kind of a weird thing to say. Yeah, well, we're right outside of New York, and I know people who lost family members, so . . . we don't say, 'Happy 9/11' around here." James responded, "Celebrate the day, right?" and then tried to cover for himself by taking a sympathetic stance. The station manager said that after James' remarks, they were flooded with calls from outraged listeners. Personally, I do not blame the listeners because his comments were tacky and thoughtless. Party favors, anyone?

Perez Hilton reports that Rosie O’Donnell is currently in Israel with long-time best friend Madonna, who is in the Holy Land celebrating Rosh Hashona. Perez pensively quips, "Did Ro convert to Kabbalah?" Apparently many of Ro's newest sloppily-written blogs involve "spirituality-laced posts," including some mentioning “the light.” Rosie sent this e-mail to Perez, saying:
“hey u
been studying the k word
since leaving my old show
there is no need to convert
its not a religion”
Perhaps Rosie needs some direction since leaving The View. I love her to death, and I know only a few of the plethora of issues that plague her life. How she is able to cope with them all is beyond anyone's comprehension. Be well, Ro.

I cannot seem to stop talking about Chris Crocker, so here is some more. The following is his webcam interview with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbMEA59-wGA. 'Nuff said. I particularly enjoyed him pulling the leopard-print brasierre up constantly over his flat chest.
