The City Council recently introduced a new measure that would bar dog owners from tethering their pets outside for longer than three hours. It's a measure that was previously proposed by Councilman Peter Vallone almost four years ago, but has been shot down time and again because of logistical concerns. So who will come to the aid of our bitches? Who else: Joan Rivers. more ›

The new uptight airline security procedures aren't just affecting the insignificant, tweeting rabble—now even VIPs like Joan Rivers are being inconvenienced. Rivers, 76, was ejected from a Continental Airlines flight bound to Newark from Costa Rica on Sunday because her passport reads: Joan Rosenberg AKA Joan Rivers. (Rosenberg was her late husband's last name, or so she says.) Rivers was cast out by a "nasty and cruel" gate agent because the passport raised a red flag, and she was all alone with no ATM card and just $100 in her purse. Finally back in NYC Monday after spending a night in San Jose, Rivers described her ordeal to the Daily News: more ›

The search is already on to replace Rosie O'Donnell on The View. Rumors are that Rosanne Barr may be first choice to fill the seat. Though Barr was on "Larry King Live" recently and said that she was "not looking for the job," on KVVU-TV in Las Vegas Monday, she seemed to have a change of heart. She told the station, "I'd love it. Yeah, definitely. I think I would do a real good job," adding that she would "stir up some real good controversy." And undoubtedly, some crotch-grabbing. more ›

If it happens, prepare your eyes. Joan Rivers says that she's training to run for the 2007 New York City Marathon. The septuagenarian said on The View that she's running for about an hour a day right now and that she may have to wear a special brace to protect all her face lifts. And here we thought the only marathons Joan could do involved an awards show or plastic surgery. more ›

Even though it happened across the pond, Gothamist was a little obssessed with Prince Charles and Camilla's marriage yesterday because when we were wee, we remembered watching Prince Charles's first marriage. Mainly, Gothamist was watching for the fashion. We absolutely loved Philip Treacy's awesome hat and headdress - they beautiful and whimsical and the headdress especially was just a shade short of loony and somehow worked for this post-menopausal (we assume) princess. more ›

Circa 7PM: We were pretty excited that Joan Rivers and Melissa Rivers were off Red Carpet duty for E!, because if there's one word we don't care to hear on Hollywood-congratulates-itself night, it's "Missy!" But we have our new Missy: It's "Al," as in Al Reynolds, Star Jones' "fiance." Star, who took over E!'s red carpet hosting duties (with some fashion guy named Robert), kept referring to her upcoming marriage and fiance throughout the evening. Eh. And what Star lacks in the bitchiness that Joan brought, she does make up for it in being able to be "black" with black. But still, hearing about Star watching TV in bed with Al makes Gothamist tempted to scream, "Bring back Joan and Missy, those horse faced, plastic-surgeried bitches!" more ›
