LONDON (June 18) - Joan Rivers' salty tongue got her booted from a British daytime talk show in the middle of its live broadcast.

Rivers used two expletives while talking about Russell Crowe as a guest host on the live gab-fest "Loose Women." She was asked to leave during a commercial break. Watch the Explicit Video at Defamer

Celebs Said What?

"You get someone like Russell Crowe, and you want to say to the camera 'He is a piece of' ... get ready to bleep this ... 'f------ s---.'"

--Comedian Joan Rivers apparently didn't quite know her stint on British talk show 'Loose Women' was live. She was booted off for her tirade.

Following the tirade, a 'Loose Women' host said: "We do apologize for that. Joan didn't realize that we were absolutely live."

The 75-year old comedian said in a statement Tuesday she was sorry for the swearing, and assumed that a censor would be able to "bleep" the words out.

Then she cracked wise, saying the incident reminded her of her wedding night - because she was asked to leave in the middle of that, too.

I can't belive that this ugly hag is still getting work and people actually listen to her schtick. He daughter is a wannabe hangeron who would be working at wal-Mart if not the daughter and raised with a silver spoon.

All depends of what one gets use to. In the USA one sees extreme violence routinely on television in the p.m. and to a lesser extent during the day while nudity and foul language is pretty much taboo (except of course on cable). In Europe and Britain it's the other way around with skin being no big deal and violence and cursing being viewed as unacceptable.

Saw Joan live a few weeks back at the Cutting Room here in NYC. Hilarious! And she used far worse than the F word. Grow up, people.

Now if she had said F*** Bush and Cheney there would have been no mention made. Had she said F*** Obama she would probably be up on racial discrimination charges by now...

PEOPLE NEED TO CLEAN UP THIER MIND'S. Joan River's is trash just like most of Hollywood. People need to get back to moral's and value's. They need to stop buying what their advertizing on these's program's and turn that CRAP OFF. People today have a-lot of wrong thinking because their parent's are so screw up and they didn't scream what their children watched on T.V. and besides that if they did, they would watch it themselves. What Great Roll Model's we have in this world. Our teacher's also are screw up. Without the Higher Power which is God our kid's want make it. Everyone has influez on people so be a good one. Cursing is very offensive so walk away and then turn that CRAB OFF your watching and go read ( A GOOD BOOK )

Wasn't it Bono (Irish-not-English) who, at the MTV awards c.1993, said he and U2 were "there for everyone who wanted to fook-oop the sysem"? (yes, it was)

HEY YOU BIDDIES, SORRY YOU'RE SO UPSET BY DIRTY WORDS. THAT'S THE WAY MANY PEOPLE TALK. I LEARNED THAT IN THE ARMY. THEY SPEAK THAT WAY IN SHOW BIZ, IN HOLLYWOOD. EVEN IN THE UK, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. RATHER THAN DIRTY WORDS, BE SHOCKED BY POVERTY, TERRORISM, WAR AND ENDLESS KILLING AROUND THE WORLD. REALLY, THAT'S FAR WORSE. EVEN THO I THINK YOU PROTESTERS ARE IDIOTS, I PROMISE NOT SWEAR IN YOUR HOUSE, IN FRONT OF KIDS, IN CHURCH. BUT ON TV, IT'S OKAY, WITH ALL THE SEX AND CRAP ON THERE EVERYDAY, WHY THE FUSS? WHY DON'T YOU BIDDIES GROW UP!
