JOAN RIVERS - RIVERS: 'I'M SO BLEEPING SORRY'

RIVERS: 'I'M SO BLEEPING SORRY'

LATEST: Comedienne JOAN RIVERS has issued a not-so-formal apology for her use of expletives during an appearance on live British television on Tuesday (17Jun08).
The outspoken star sparked outrage in the U.K. after she called actor Russell Crowe a "f**king s**t" while speaking to co-hosts of daytime talk show Loose Women.
The flustered presenters immediately apologised for Rivers' foul language while giggling about the slip-up, but show bosses weren't quite so light on their guest - they asked Rivers to leave the set during the commercial break.
And now the star has publicly apologised for her offending words, according to People.com.
A statement from Rivers reads: "Yes, I swore, and I'm so f***king sorry.
"No one told me the TV show Loose Women was a reality show and that I would be voted off.
"It's funny: offstage, I hardly ever use profanity. My favourite four-letter word is shop."
