Joan Rivers on the Kimye Wedding

Anne Cohen

By Anne Cohen October 23, 2013

A good barometer of whether something is worth writing about or not is if Joan Rivers has anything to say about it. Another, higher (and rarer) measure of success is if she has something GOOD to say about it.

This week, the forthcoming Kanye West and Kim Kardashian nuptials win on both counts.

Upon hearing about Kanye finally popping the question to Kim — on her birthday, no less — Joan tweeted:

Sweet, right?

Well, it seems people were so amazed at her lack of snark that the our favorite fashion cop had to send another tweet, assuring her account had not, in fact, been hacked.

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.
