Last updated on: March 14, 2012 at 10:07 pm By Lilit Marcus

Joan Rivers‘ former manager Billy Sammeth is shopping a tell-all, and he sat down for a super bitchy interview with The Daily Beast. Among the juicy tidbits he shared about Joan and her daughter Melissa Rivers was this one: I once took Joan and Melissa to the Palm Court at the Plaza when Melissa was around 7 or 8 years old.

Last updated on: March 4, 2012 at 12:19 pm By Lilit Marcus

What if the Buddha had actually been a secret jerk?
