Joan Rivers is being brought out of her coma

Things are still pretty touch-and-go with Joan Rivers, whose health has been in critical condition since she stopped breathing during a routine procedure last week. But the latest reports are that she’s being brought out of her medically-induced coma in a process that will take several days. Once Joan is fully awake, doctors will be able to assess what damage she has suffered – and everyone is keeping their fingers crossed. From the New York Daily News: “The waking-up process has begun and will take until Tuesday,” a source close to the family told the Daily News. “There is real concern that the part of the brain that controls motor skills may have been compromised, leaving her as either a vegetable or in a wheelchair.” And that has the family considering a lawsuit. “Shock and upset is turning to anger, and they are looking for someone to blame,” said a source close to the family, hinting at action against Yorkville Endoscopy, where Rivers had a routine throat procedure on Thursday. “The night before, she was performing and now she is on life support,” the source continued. “An 81-year-old should not have that procedure as an outpatient. Very ill advised.” It’s really a shame that this has happened, and crazy how quickly life can change – literally. Joan has apparently said that she would never want to be a burden on anyone and would only want to live if she could live an active and healthy life. I guess it remains to be seen what will happen here. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Jennifer Lawrence’s nude photos leak and the internet loses its mind

Sorry, unfortunately I won’t be posting Jennifer Lawrence‘s leaked nudes here on Evil Beet – not because it would be morally wrong (it would, but I would probably overlook it) but because we would probably get hit with a lawsuit, since that’s what her rep is threatening to do to whoever puts them up. Some anonymous hacker on 4Chan apparently got hold of over 25 celebrity’s iCloud pics, and it’s amazing how many famous women really love taking pics of their own tits and ass. JLaw was by far the most heavy hit, with the hacker claiming to have over 60 nude selfies (paging Kim Kardashian!) and also some raw sexual video of the Hunger Games actress. Other celebrities hit include Victoria Justice, Kate Upton, Amber Heard, Ariana Grande and Cara Delevingne. In other words, a lot of people whose bits and bobs we’ve all seen already in some form or another. These so called nudes of me are FAKE people. Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun intended* — Victoria Justice (@VictoriaJustice) August 31, 2014 Most of the ladies and/or their reps tend to be taking the “They’re totally fake, you guys!” route, but JLaw’s pretty much owned up to being starkers (seriously, one of the photos include her on a couch with EVERYTHING out) and her rep is NOT happy about it: “This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.” Damn. In any case, the VERY NSFW thread over on /b/ can be seen HERE if you want to have a look at the photos (assuming you haven’t already). It’s pretty disgusting that people would hack into someone’s private information and post it publicly, but I do also wonder why celebrities haven’t realized that truly NOTHING is private – it’s the very unfortunate price you pay when you’re in the public eye. Part of me want to say, “Stop taking pictures of your boobs and vagina, ladies!” – but why should they have to? It’s not personally my thing, but you can tell by a lot of the leaked pics, especially of JLaw’s, that some were meant to be playful and silly and between herself and whoever the recipient was, NOT seriously sexual. Remember, some dude went to prison for 10 years in 2012 after hacking Scarlett Johansson‘s phone and posting nude pics, so if this anonymous hacker is found out, it’s curtains.
