"&lt;strong&gt;Joan Rivers&lt;/strong&gt; has been canceled from a scheduled appearance on &lt;strong&gt;FOX &amp;amp; Friends&lt;/strong&gt; -- she says it's all over a comment she made to TMZ blasting &lt;strong&gt;Sarah Palin&lt;/strong&gt; ... but FOX denies that's the reason. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;This weekend, Rivers said she partially blamed the Arizona shootings on Palin ... and then referred to Sarah as \"stupid and a threat.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rivers was scheduled to appear with daughter Melissa tomorrow on the show to promote her new show, \"Joan &amp;amp; Melissa: Joan Knows Best?\"&amp;#160; River's rep tells us a producer called to say they gave her the chop because of Joan's comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But moments ago FOX responded ... they say the show was overbooked and the producer \"mistakenly\" canceled Joan's appearance instead of rescheduling it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FOX insists it has nothing to do with Joan's comments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
