访谈录:最幽默的女人琼·里弗斯谈整容
里弗斯被誉为“美国最幽默的女人”之一。她是一位着名的喜剧演员,也是一位有着无数FANS的名嘴,她以评论明星八卦和衣着着称。40多年来,这个只会“喋喋不休”的女人是美国人的开心果。年过七旬,里弗斯仍然天天肆无忌惮地评论明星名流的花边八卦事,依然将自己打扮得光鲜亮丽。
我不是我不是这样子,我不喜欢这么多的门面工作。我去观看网球比赛的时候自己不喜欢把头扭来扭去,因为这会毁了成千上万的美元。实在叫人心痛。
所以我知道你的下一个问题将是已经够了吗?每个人都问我。哦,做了手术。是啊,够了。
我确实还没有。我的好朋友是着名搞笑影后戈尔迪·霍恩,我想是她。哦,肯定就是她。
她声称面容太紧,他们说在她吞咽的时候甚至引起了极度兴奋,我不知道。真的。我想是这样。应该是这样,毕竟是自动化的东西嘛。
但是很难让一位女演员离开,你知道我的意思。因为找一名同样性感的角色非常困难。我的一个朋友认识琼·科林斯,她有起搏器,她去参加了一场白色T恤衫大赛,她得到了好成绩。
头发,哇,你也一定要小心。
但是性感就像我望着你的节目,她们华丽的出场,你知道,女士。性感起着很大的作用。我知道你明白这点。我的意思是贝蒂·怀特,我们知道她回来了。哦,长大后的她。她忽然回来,犹如无人知晓一样,拜托请告诉后台。不知道这件事吗?
我不知道,我第一次听到的。她正在进入这个圈子。在这种局面下非常困难,因为她不能回来。
