Joan Rivers: 'Kristen Stewart Is Suing Me Over Joke'

WARNING: This story contains an explicit joke.

Joan Rivers has claimed that she is being sued by Kristen Stewart over a joke in her new book.

The 81-year-old comic told TMZ that K-Stew seemed to have taken offence at a risque joke made at her offence.

"I am now being sued by Kristen Stewart," she stated. "She obviously didn't read our disclaimer, which says it's a comedy book. I can't wait to get her into court because I'm gonna get a puppet and I want her to show me on the puppet where she thinks I claim she touched her director. I am looking forward to it.

"Her lawyer contacted my lawyer, which shows the sense of humour she has. My answer to her was, 'Be glad you're not a Kardashian because they're mentioned a lot more in the book'."

Rivers had written: "Many stars only do one thing well. Of course, the best one-trick-pony is Kristen Stewart, who got a whole career by being able to juggle a director's balls."

Which is clearly factually inaccurate, since K-Stew was already a household name from the Twilight movies by the time she made Snow White And The Huntsman - and had a fling with its director Rupert Sanders.
