why are you quoting a children's author?

why don't you also tell us what Dr. Suess thinks about this issue...

The person who said the quote isn't relevant, keep digging.

Never catch me doing that
I wouldn't agree with joan about adele but I do about miley, you have to question her motives though I think.
Is she doing it to be controversial or genuine?...
I would like to think genuine but it didn't go down too well for Sinead did it?

..I just think that any 'jokes' about anyone else's appearance from Joan is more than a little ironic, so doesn't come across with humour at all...and if she was 'sincere' in what she said then I'll presume she was sincere in what she said about Adele as well...so she's saying Adele is overweight, and should lose some...?...Adele is beautiful just as she is....

saying adele needs to loose weight is like saying amy winehouse needed to take a shower. it's not rocket science.

..I don't agree, Alex..there is nothing wrong with her weight and it's all about her talent anyway, if Joan wants to find humour in that...

how much is adele being paid? show business is a business,. adele is an idiot, right when she's at the peak of her career she decides to have a baby? cmon, the woman had the world at her fingertips and she makes her self look so trashy over and over again. She clearly has no concept of the music industry as an industry.

Maybe Adele had a baby cuz she felt it was right to have a baby. Not everybody is motivated by how much money they can make in the smallest amount of time.

..but whatever you feel about Adele's choices in career/motherhood etc..that hasn't got anything to do with her weight or Joan making it the subject of her humour because those aren't the things she was 'joking' about, it was specifically Adele's weight, which to me is absolutely fine....I think if you're a comedian who is quite acerbic and scathing in your humour and especially when it's largely based on appearances, then you should be a little less self absorbed in your own looks, yourself and been a slave to plastic surgery for it to be 'funny' in any way and not come across as quite ridiculous from her....

I suppose that's the crux of it, and JK and Adele are just not very 'hollywood' are they?
It's not a bad thing.
Joans comment was constructive criticism too, due to her comedic style she was I feel being kind.

Being fat isn't a bad thing, and neither is having a baby. I'm sure Adele would rather look the way she looks and have the baby she has than be thin and childless just so Joan Rivers, a notoriously spiteful woman, wouldn't make fun of her; and quite similarly I'm sure Miley Cyrus doesn't care if a woman 4 times her age thinks she's disgusting when that same woman has made a career out of having a disgusting sense of humour. End.
