Talk about your tough times: Joan and Melissa Rivers got canned from both E! and the TV Guide Channel - and apparently they couldn't cut a TV deal with anyone else. So instead of snagging TV stars at the Shrine next Sunday, they'll be blogging in NY for VH1Eyecandy.com. As announced by VH1, the site will start running the duo's snarky commentary on who's wearing and doing what. Also available will be Joan's red carpet video podcast recap and Emmy podcast recap. Replacing the Rivers duo on the TV Guide Channel will be Lisa Rinna and Joey Fatone. Ouch. (AP)
