Joan Rivers' daughter to host special TV tribute
Melissa Rivers will present a one-off special tribute to her late mother, Joan Rivers, on E! ahead of the first anniversary of her death.
Melissa Rivers will pay tribute to her late mother, Joan Rivers, on a TV special later on Thursday.

The new Fashion Police co-host, who was devastated when the comedienne died last September due to complications after undergoing routine throat surgery, will present a one-off show, Celebrating Joan, on E! ahead of the first anniversary of her death on Friday .

The show will feature clips of the 81-year-old star's best bits from her time on the tongue-in-cheek fashion series, including bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage.
Melissa recently revealed she scattered Joan's ashes while on holiday in Wyoming with her son, Cooper, last month.

She said: "Coop and I took our annual family vacation to Wyoming. [The] first without my mom and scattered some of her ashes there so we can still be together every August as a family."

But she insisted they had nothing big planned to mark her anniversary.

She said: "Everyone expects me to have this big grand plan for the 4th and I am just going to be spending it with my son. He is going to go to school, I am going to go to work and come home and light a candle, and have a glass of wine."
