Comedian Joan Rivers may have passed away, but it doesn't mean she didn't get a say on how she wanted her funeral to be like. Before the death of the "Fashion Police" host, there were certain people she didn't want attending her funeral - namely, Michelle Obama, Adele and Chelsea Handler.

In a fairly recent interview with the Sunday Times, Rivers said that she disinvited the first lady, pop singer and talk show host-comedian from attending her funeral.

The said wishes were prompted by the fact that Rivers was already in her 80s and she wanted to help her daughter Melissa out with whom she deemed were good people to invite. She referred to Obama as a "tranny", she called Adele "fat" and she called Handler a "drunk".

Rivers was quoted as saying, "Melissa says, 'I don't want to hear about it, I don't want to talk about it,' but I say it's coming. It's inevitable. It's no longer an abstract thing. It's like, God, I'm in my eighties. Nobody, when I die, is going to say, 'How young?' They're going to say, 'She had a great ride.'" 

The three were not present in the comedian's funeral, but the event was star-studded, nevertheless - just like how Rivers would have wanted it. Those in attendance included real-estate mogul and personality Donald Trump, husband-and-wife Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, "The View" host and iconic comedian Whoopi Goldberg, news personalities Geraldo Rivera, Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer, fashion designers Michael Kors and Carolina Herrera and radio jock Howard Stern.

Amidst grieving family and friends, Stern started his eulogy with "Joan Rivers had a dry pussy." 

Attempting to swallow back tears, Stern continued his comedic tribute, "Joan's pussy was so dry it was like a sponge - so that when she got in the bathtub - whooooosh - all the water would get absorbed in there! Joan said that if Whitney Houston had as dry a pussy as Joan's, she would still be alive today."
