</div><div align="center">Joan Rivers has said she was shocked to be kicked off today's edition of ITV1 talkshow Loose Women after she swore live on air - an outburst that prompted almost 50 complaints from shocked daytime viewers.</div>
<div align="center">Rivers, 75, stunned the all-female Loose Women presenting team of Jackie Brambles, Coleen Nolan, Jane McDonald and Carol McGiffin when she described Hollywood actor Russell Crowe as a "f***ing ****". The comment prompted 48 complaints, according to an ITV source.</div>
<div align="center">The veteran comedian told MediaGuardian.co.uk it was the first time she had ever been ejected from a TV show and that she only swore because she thought the programme had a time delay on it. "I thought there was a seven-second delay," Rivers told MediaGuardian.co.uk. "They earlier showed a picture of a man with an obvious erection under his coat so I thought it would be all right."</div>
<div align="center">Rivers - who was on the show to promote her West End acting debut in the play Joan Rivers: A Work in Progress by a Life in Progress - was due to return to the show after a commercial break but was instead ejected from the Loose Women studio.</div>
<div align="center">"I have won an Emmy, been nominated for a Tony award, done every show and become an icon and when people ask me what is left in my career I have always said I don't know, but I have never been forcibly thrown out of a TV studio. It is another milestone," she added.</div>
<div align="center">However, Rivers said she would still appear on the show again. "In a second. But they didn't give me my goody bag, which I am very upset about," she added.</div>
<div align="center">When told how many complaints the comment had received, Rivers said: "This is ITV - I want a recount."</div>
<div align="center">An ITV spokeswoman apologised for Rivers' "inappropriate language". </div>
<div align="center">"Presenter Jackie Brambles immediately apologised to viewers and reiterated this apology later in the show," she said.</div>
<div align="center">"An editorial decision was taken that Joan Rivers should not appear in the final part of the programme. Loose Women guests are always briefed that it is a live daytime show and as such are reminded not to swear or use inappropriate language."</div>

What a silly *****, Russell Crowe is my hero. Like any good kiwi he comes across the ditch and immediately starts calling himself an Australian (i.e Aussie Robbie); getting involved with the culture etc.

The man is a legend.

Like the great Australian tradition of throwing phones at hotel bellboys...

Lol f***en aye. Along with getting into brawls over what league team you support and being generally fat and hairy.

We don't want him. We have to get one of our businessmen to beat him up in a public toilet to remind him why he doesn't cut the grade in NZ.

pffffft, Russ would have smoked that kiwi in NY, no question about it, then looked around before screaming 'are you not entertained?'

Bahaha who said the poms didnt have a stiff upper lip. :lol:

Most Kiwis with talent realise that the country is a shithole and they need to move to the "west island".

**** even a horse could figure that one out. (phar lap )
