I thought they said yesterday that they just moved her out of the ICU. Probably threw a PE.

shoulda used tougher hardware when they installed the aftermarket parts...overstressing the OEM stuff with extreme use and a long service life will lead to thrown internals

Looks like she blew the welds on the intake. Now not even the mad scientist can put her back together.

81 years old and she still had a million dollar figure. Unfortunately it looked like it was all loose change

RIP

Many people are choosing to be cremated. She's going to be recycled.

I think it might be cool to have a red carpet at her funeral and have a series of comedians walk by and criticize her burial outfit.

Or something along the line of Graham Chapman's eulogy (best eulogy EVER):

I think she would truly appreciate it.

(Do the Jewish faith type people do the casket thing?)

All that plastic... she'd burn for a week, and leave a really bad smell......

From the book she wrote a couple years ago:

On what she wants for her own funeral

"When I die, I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action...I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don't want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I don't want a eulogy; I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing "Mr. Lonely." I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyoncé's."

On obituaries

"I love the obituaries. To me, obituaries are just wedding announcements without the pictures. I read the obituaries carefully, the way Lindsay Lohan reads her Miranda rights."

On people who dies of natural causes

"I hate people who die of natural causes; they just don't understand the moment. It's the grand finale, act three, the eleven o'clock number — make it count. If you're going to die, die interesting! Is there anything worse than a boring death? I think not. When my time comes I'm going to go out in highs type. I have no intention of being sick or lingering or dragging on and on and boring everyone I know. I have no intention of coughing and wheezing for months on end. One morning you'll wake up and read a headline: Joan Rivers Found Dead...On George Clooney's Face. Clooney Was So Bereft All He Could Say Was, 'Xjfhfyrnem.'"

On funerals

"I love funerals! To me a funeral is just a red carpet show for dead people. It's a chance for mourners from all walks of life to accessorize basic black, and to make a fashion statement that is bold enough to draw attention away from the bereaved but subtle enough so that no one knows that it's happening. And, it's a great way to have quiet fun."

On people who offer condolences

"I hate people who try to make you feel better. Like the neighbor who says, 'Don't forget, the first part of 'funeral' is 'fun!' Or the minister who says, 'He's in a better place now.' I'm tempted to yell out, 'No he's not. He had a house in the Hamptons. What's wrong with you?""

On the pick-up scene at funerals

"As I get older, I'm going to a lot more funerals, and let me tell you something, it's a great pick-up scene. A graveside funeral is live eHarmony for the bereaved."

She was a funny woman. RIP Joan.

And they better follow her wishes (as listed in the previous post) to the fullest.

One more surgery and she could have become a Corvette.

She was great at self depreciating humor. My kind of humor.
