Joan Rivers Talks About Committing 'Murder At The Academy Awards'

Authoress and comedienne Joan Rivers stopped by the studio to talk about her book Men Are Stupid ... And They Life Big Boobs and the forthcoming Murder At The Academy Awards, due next month. She's also talking about her upcoming performances at The Slipper Room.

A native New Yorker hailing from Brooklyn, Rivers is known as a raunchy, politically incorrect stand-up comedienne. She often pokes fun at herself during her acts. Rivers has hosted several TV shows, acted on the big and small screen and recently performed an autobiographical play on London's West End. Outside of comedy, Rivers is on the board of God's Love We Deliver, is the national chairwoman of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and gives lectures around the world on suicide prevention and survival.

And you have several chances to see River in person! She's performing Tuesday nights in February at The Slipper Room, which is located at l67 Orchard Street (at Stanton Street), New York, NY 10002. For show and ticket information, visit www.slipperroom.com.

You can also meet her at her book signing tonight, January 29 at 7:30pm at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore on Lincoln Triangle (1972 Broadway, New York, NY 10023) or on Saturday, January 31 at 11am at the Bookends in Ridgewood, NJ.
