Joan Rivers: "Mel Gibson should die"

American icon Joan Rivers believes that Mel Gibson deserves death for the comments made during his drink-driving arrest on July 28 this year.

"He is an anti-Semitic son of a bitch. He should f**king die," fumed the Jewish comedienne in an interview with Celebrity Week.

Referring to the Mad Max star's forthcoming interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, she said:

"I think everyone should not watch the interview... it's ridiculous because she'll get great ratings and [Gibson] will be back in business."

Mel Gibson drew widespread condemnation for his drunken comment that "the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world".
