Joan Rivers Still Welcome on FOX News

Don't worry, Joan Rivers fans -- she's not quieting down anytime soon.

A representative for FOX & Friends tells UsMagazine.com that reports suggesting the host of E!'s Fashion Police, 77, was banned from the show after claiming Sarah Palin was partially to blame for the shooting of Arizona congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, are completely false.

Several websites said Rivers' Thursday appearance to promote her new show with daughter Melissa, 42, Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best? was canceled after she told TMZ that Palin was "stupid and a threat" and that residents "were right to blame" her for Tucson-area shooting.

The truth? She wasn't blocked, just bumped back.

"Due to the volume of news topics tomorrow morning and a full show, our booker mistakenly canceled Joan’s appearance instead of re-scheduling her for Friday's show," Lauren Petterson, executive producer of FOX and Friends tells Us. "We're in the process of booking her on an upcoming show."

Joan Rivers Moves in With Daughte r Melissa

Joan Rivers Moves in With Daughter Melissa for New Reality Series

What are the stars wearing? Joan Rivers doesn't care anymore. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the comedy legend -- who's practically an awards-season institution on red carpets covering events in recent years for the E! and TV Guide channels -- says she and daughter Melissa Rivers want to move on from dishing about designer duds.
As Melissa explained at the Television Critics Association press tour on Friday, "We've done that. It's not fun anymore."

So the Rivers ladies have decided to launch a reality show about Joan moving in with Melissa. The series premiere of 'Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?' will air Jan. 25 on WEtv.

But with so much experience chatting up celebs for the cameras (and taking them down for their fashion foibles later), why would the duo turn their well-dressed backs on the kinds of gigs they're famous for?

"When we were doing it, you could tell Julia Roberts, 'I hate your dress,'" said Joan, who added that things have changed. She said publicists "ice you" now, if they feel style-related insults cross a line.

"It took all the fun out of it," added Melissa.

And after Lisa Rinna took over a TV Guide broadcast covering a crowded red carpet in 2007, morale slipped further. Joan recalled, "When I found myself literally pulling Nicole Kidman's arm away from --who's the one with the big lips? -- I thought, 'What am I doing? Take your stupid lips and take these movie stars.'"

As they start a new chapter as reality TV stars, the mom and daughter are hoping not to be compared to MTV-style reality television. "That's reality that I don't like," Joan said. "So I think 'Jersey Shore' -- Yuck!" But of course, she'd be welcome a PR opportunity if the right 'Jersey Shore' star came knocking during an episode of her new series.

"We hope Snooki will come visit us," cracked Joan. "Are you kidding? We're whores!"
