Damn, I was hoping she would pull through. RIP ma'am. A true trailblazer in the world of comedy.

Damn, RIP. The world of comedy just can't catch a break it seems, losing two of its legends so close together.

I won't pretend I was a big fan nor martyr her, but yeah, loss of human life is almost always tragic (the times it isn't is reserved for the likes of Osama, Hitler, etc.). And a person many considered an icon is gone, another in a long series in these past couple of years. When Dick Clark doesn't live forever, all bets are off ;-)
Will be interesting to compare people's posts before and after this news broke, I must say.

RIP Joan Rivers. She was 81. Her face was still a teenager.
(f*** you, she'd have appreciated the joke).

While I have never liked her, whether as a person or as a comedian, someone lost their mother today, and that is never something to be celebrated. My heart goes out to her daughter, and to the rest of her family and friends.
That's all I'll say on the matter.

Rest in peace, Joan. I hope for peace for Melissa and her grandson. While the world had lost a comedy legend, thet have lost mom and grandma. I hope they are able to mourn with some measure of privacy.

Even if I didn't like some of the things she said later in life, I will be the first to say she was a comedy legend and a trailblazer.
RIP

I'll say this as lightly as I can: I liked the person she once was, I hated the person she became.
My heart does go out to the family because I'm not a heartless teenage bastard, but the death itself, I won't shed any tears over.

Rest In Peace. I'm not too familiar with all of her work, admittedly, but I did like her in Spaceballs.

Even WWE is reporting the news. www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-remembers-joan-riversI saw it on Facebook and thought "well this is the last thing I'd expect to see reported by WWE." I didn't realize she was involved with WrestleMania 2 until I read the article.

We all should be dropping ridiculously harsh jokes at Rivers' expense in this thread.
Its what she would have wanted.

Well, Melissa's used to seeing her mom's face permanently frozen already.
