I know that... I didn't see it. My apologies.

No word from Chalet. I assume she got busted by hospital security.

I am more worried about Melissa. If Joan has not done proper financial planning, Melissa might need to get a job.

I'd bet that Joan is very good about that and Melissa and Cooper are set for life. They are her world.

No word from Chalet. I assume she got busted by hospital security.

I'm going away for the weekend so I'm sending my team to the hospital. Thank God it wasn't New York Hospital. They killed Andy Warhol!

To be fair, that comment is almost quite tame to some I've seen on other sites.

Get well soon, Joan.

She sells a crap-ton of stuff on QVC I'm sure she is financially secure and I may not like her but I do wish her well

[Coffeelover]

Coming out of lurkdom to say that I hope she recovers. I used to live in LA and have met quite a few celebrities. She was one of the super-nice ones.

[sprynkles]

Hope she still is one of the nice ones. Please un-lurk more often Coffeelover. <3
