Joan Rivers bolts during CNN interview

By Jennifer Brett

Joan Rivers will say just about anything.

She called Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby ugly. She once cracked on Jennifer Aniston, saying ""I'm so bored with her and her stupid movies. They're all the same, I don't know how they get financed." She's made fun of Adele's size and Madonna's age.

Not even the White House is spared from her outrageous comments.

In this video clip she declares that President Obama is gay and First Lady Michelle Obama is transgendered, flummoxing the videographer taping the impromptu interview.

So who knew Rivers could have such delicate sensibilities? "Comedienne Joan Rivers sat down with Fredricka Whitfield to discuss her new book, but stormed out before it was over," the Atlanta-based network posted with this video clip over the weekend.
