Joan Rivers Claims Kristen Stewart Threatened to Sue Her

Joan Rivers has confirmed that Kristen Stewart threatened to take legal action against her for a passage in her new book Diary of a Mad Diva. The 81-year-old comedienne stated that;

“I am now being sued by Kristen Stewart. She obviously didn’t read our disclaimer, which says it’s a comedy book. I can’t wait to get her into court because I’m gonna get a puppet and I want her to show me on the puppet where she thinks I claim she touched her director. I am looking forward to it.”

So what’s the passage that has Stewart so up-in-arms? According to Rivers, she made a passing comment about Stewart’s alleged relationship with Snow White and the Huntsman Director Rupert Sanders. Specifically, she states;

“Many stars only do one thing well. Of course, the best one-trick-pony is Kristen Stewart, who got a whole career by being able to juggle a director’s balls.”

Well, I thought it was funny, but it’s looking like Stewart didn’t get the joke. Rivers has put the book forwards as satire, meaning she can get away with a few rude speculations. The book, which is due out next month, goes after more than a few stars in Joan Rivers’ fashion, but none of those other stars have made any complaints.  [more…]

Rivers has refused to remove the joke and reports that she hasn’t received any lawsuit paperwork yet, so it all might have been a bluff.
