She’s the Queen of Comedy, so onlookers were left wondering if what they’d just witnessed was for real or merely a set-up when Joan Rivers was Caked in the face at a party on Friday night.
The comedienne and Fashion Police host fled the QVC Red Carpet Style event shortly after making a glamorous arrival looking worse for wear with white icing smeared all over her face, in her hair and down the front of her outfit.
While the star certainly appeared shocked and angry at the turn of events, it could quite easily have been a stunt played out for the comedy value, knowing her self-deprecating sense of humour, not to mention the fact that she has a jewellery line on the home shopping network.

A well-placed source tells the MailOnline that the comic left the event in a hurry, ‘Screaming to security, "Get me to my car!"’ as security cleared a path for her.
She leapt into her vehicle followed soon after by a concerned unidentified woman dressed in a red dress, who hopped in with her before zooming off.
Plenty of fellow guests at the event took to Twitter to write of their shock at the sight of the 80-year-old bolting from the party following the incident, though no-one seems to have actually witnessed the caking take place.
Outta my way! While it’s unclear whether the caking was a gag or for real, the comedienne certainly appeared distressed and shocked as she made a beeline for the exit

Just hours earlier, Joan was in great spirits as she walked the red carpet.
The star looked stunning in loose-fitting black dress pants, a matching singlet and cropped black lace top with billowing floor-length train.
She completed her outfit with black pointy heels and a stunning pale gold necklace with onyx stone detail.
Her short blonde locks were styled in a voluminous, sleek ‘do and her make-up was prefectly applied, featuring smoky bronze eyeshadow and glossy rose lips.
