Behind-the-scenes Oscar intrigue, Joan Rivers style

joan1.jpgIt was bad enough to be booted off the TV Guide channel after all that blood, sweet and tears on the red carpet. But now Joan Rivers is seeing her likeness on a quivering piece of plastic replaced too.
    
This lucky reporter opened her mail this morning to discover — oh joy! — a bobble-head duo of Lisa Rinna and Joey Fatone, who replaced Rivers and her daughter Melissa on the Oscar red carpet last year.
    
Lisa and Joey are about an inch taller than the Rivers in their bobble-headedness, and Lisa Rinna looks, well, a bit perkier. Fatone, with his white sneakers, tux and goatee, looks like something unfortunate out of Vegas. Both look tanner, and have bigger heads than the Rivers.

Given my faith that all things wrong will eventually right themselves, I am still doggedly holding on to my Joan and Melissa bobblehead. Joan may be off the red carpet, but something tells me this bit of plastic may be worth something someday.

One comment so far

terrific item, comparing the swag. what a fun idea. and you’re right–those bobble-heads WILL
