Rivers' Potty Mouth Gets Her Kicked Off British TV
Joan Rivers' salty tongue got her booted from a British daytime talk show in the middle of its live broadcast.
Rivers used two expletives while talking about Russell Crowe as a guest host on the live gab-fest "Loose Women." She was asked to leave during a commercial break.
The 75-year-old comedian said in a statement Tuesday she was sorry for the swearing, and assumed that a censor would be able to "bleep" the words out.
Then she cracked wise, saying the incident reminded her of her wedding night - because she was asked to leave in the middle of that, too.

NY Gossip Columnist Lawsuit Tossed
A judge has dismissed New York Post gossip columnist Jared Paul Stern's defamation lawsuit against the Daily News, supermarket mogul Ron Burkle, and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Stern denied Burkle's claim that he'd demanded money to squelch negative news. The Clintons are friends of Burkle, and the former president complained about Stern's Page Six column. The Daily News reported on the fracas involving its rival.
Stern's lawsuit, filed in March 2007, accused Burkle and the Clintons of trying to defame and discredit him. He claimed the Daily News - along with a publicist and a former Secret Service investigator - conspired with them.
State Supreme Court Justice Walter Tolub said Tuesday that Stern didn't prove his case.
Taylor Dayne Pleads Out
Taylor Dayne has pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge in connection with her March 6 arrest.
Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Richard Stone ordered the entertainer to serve two years' probation and complete a Mothers Against Drunk Driving program, district attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.
Dayne wasn't present in court Monday and her attorney entered the plea on her behalf.
The singer had been charged with driving under the influence, but prosecutors decided the reckless driving charge was more appropriate, Gibbons said.
