Joan Rivers Flees Pre-Oscars Bash Covered in Icing After Being Caked in the Face

She's the Queen of Comedy, so onlookers were left wondering if what they'd just witnessed was for real or merely a set-up when Joan Rivers was caked in the face at a party on Friday night.

The comedienne and Fashion Police host fled the QVC Red Carpet Style event shortly after making a glamorous arrival looking worse for wear with white icing smeared all over her face, in her hair and down the front of her outfit.

While the star certainly appeared shocked and angry at the turn of events, it could quite easily have been a stunt played out for the comedy value, knowing her self-deprecating sense of humour, not to mention the fact that she has a jewellery line on the home shopping network.
