Yes I saw that about Joan Rivers & thinks its very sad because LA is the biggest con. How sad that these people feel to keep up they have to put themselves through all of that to get attention. Why can't they be accepted for who they are ?
DH & I were watching Piers Morgan in Hollywood the other night & saying how disappointed we were when we went to LA a few years back for our silver anniversary trip. We found parts of it dirty, seedy & no way would you walk around there late at night as its totally unsafe. We stayed in the Roosevelt hotel & we could hear gunshots going off during the night & the constant sound of sirens. The walk of fame with the stars is surrounded by shop after shop selling the same tacky souvenirs. Cheap plastic tat, Oscars etc. Rodeo Drive is just hyped up & really no different to Bond Street.Tinsel town it ain't & we were so disappointed. Fortunately we were only there for a few days & then moved on & we were glad to go & both said we would never go back. What you see on Oscar night is only because they have spent millions doing things up. In reality it does not look like that at all, in fact the outside of one of the famous restaurants, Spargos looks no better than Joe's Cafe !
Some friends of ours went out there a couple of years back & they too only stayed on our advice for a couple of nights & said how glad they were that they listened to us as they hated it. Just cannot see the attraction at all & we would say to anyone thinking of going, don't waste your time & money.
