WHY VICTORIA PRINCIPAL’S POSSIBLE RETURN TO “DALLAS” IS FRAUGHT WITH PERIL
#victoriaprincipal #dallas #joanrivers #janetcharlton
Victoria Principal, 62, has good reason to be nervous about returning to television after a long absence. Her skin care line Principal Secret keeps her busy and she doesn’t need the money. But producers of the new Dallas show on TNT are bending over backwards to lure her back – even for just a few appearances. The audience is begging for her to return. She’s tempted, but through the years she’s had considerable cosmetic surgery and looks a bit different. (Actually a lot like LaToya Jackson, if you get our drift.) This means she will once again be a prime target for her arch-enemy Joan Rivers on Fashion Police. Their feud started in the 80’s when Joan accused Victoria of lying during an interview – Victoria shaved five years off her age and denied being engaged to Andy Gibb. Later Joan “accidentally’ revealed Victoria’s home phone number on TV and Victoria sued her for three million dollars. If Dallas viewers get their wish and Pam Ewing returns, Joan will be THRILLED.
Joan Rivers badmouthed Chelsea Handler by calling her “not funny.” After all, Joan was the first female late night talk show host and Chelsea is the second. (Women should be supportive of each other.) Of course Chelsea has lasted longer – her E! show “Chelsea Lately” has been on the air since 2007. Since Chelsea IS definitely funny, we wonder if Joan begrudges Handler her job because Chelsea’s boyfriend is Ted Harbert is CEO boss of the E! channel. A legitimate beef, but not from Joan, who is guilty of engaging in the same nepotism for her daughter Melissa. Maybe Joan just dislikes everything on the E! channel since she and Melissa stopped doing red carpet coverage for them.
