I can understand the anger at the imperiousness of the incident, but this is very low class of these guys to discuss an 80 year old this way

[SFK]

"You old germ freak!" LMAO!

I think he was beating a dead horse after a couple of minutes, but I totally agree with him that that was rude and ungracious. I love Joan Collins, I very much enjoy her image and onscreen persona, but this is not the first time I've heard about her rude behavior. I don't care how fabulous you are, there is never an excuse to be rude. I don't give her or anyone else who acts that way lame "diva props". That's bullsh-t.

[Mr. Vixen]

PREACH, SFK. I like Joan too and of course she is fabulous but man does she come off as a &#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] in every way. Her old irrelevant ass needs to get checked.

[SFK]

I've heard about her being super sweet at other times too. A friend of mine worked with her on a series and she had nothing bad to say about Joan, she just commented on her turbans and wigs. But even a handful of these rude incidents is a turn off. I like to think of Joan who is a celeb who "gets it", who is "with it", but those moments make me think that she's yet another out of touch neurotic. At least some of the time.

[Mr. Vixen]

LMAO at her turbans.

[I Am A Swede]

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill!

"Joan Collins was rude to me and didn't want to shake my hand. She's such a b*tch. Boo-hooh, I'm gonna be rude to her on radio"

Grow up!!

I wonder if it crossed his tiny little mind that she might have stuff like this happen to her on a regular basis, and maybe she's tired of it? Just because you're famous doesn't mean you want to shake hands with every Tom, Dick or Harry that passes by.

[SFK]

Howie Mandell does not shake hands as he has OCD. This does not prevent him from smiling and looking strangers in the eye, politely telling them that he does not shake hands but is willing to give them a fist bump. Joan Collins doesn't have to do anything that she doesn't want to do, but she has the choice to address people politely or not and let her reputation face the consequences. I'm sure she's losing no sleep over this, she probably eats it up. Just don't go on television lying about how the whole bitch aura is perpetuated by the unimaginative media when your own behaviour is partlyresponsible for retaining it.

What's funny about this is that Joan tweeted maybe a week or two ago that she has avoided catching the flu because she doesn't shake hands and doesn't air kiss. A few years ago a similar incident happened with Lily Allen at Selfridges who tried to air kiss her and Joan literally replied "I don't do that!"...it made news in London.

The radio guys were funny and there are plenty of people who love Joan so it's a balanced response, I've met Joan twice and found her delightful...but Joan is Joan, she isn't ever going to be Betty White, she's always going to pick and choose who gets "Nice Joan" and who gets "Bitch Joan". She IS a snob and I don't think she's ever pretended otherwise.

Still, for 80 in May, viva la diva...
