In the second season premiere of WE TV's reality program “Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?,” Melissa Rivers tries to persuade her 78-year-old comedian mother Joan not to undergo another cosmetic surgery procedure by staging a “skintervention.” Melissa, 44, calls in the pair's circle of friends and employees -- one and the same in the Rivers' world -- but before long Joan has won over the room and is handing out cosmetic procedures like party favors. “It's like I'm the teacher from Charlie Brown, ‘womp, womp, womp,'” Melissa complains in the episode. But her protests may not have gone completely ignored. Joan tweeted on Saturday, “The next time I go under the knife is for my autopsy.” “Joan & Melissa,” which returns Tuesday, January 24, follows the day-to-day life of the famously close Rivers duo as they live and work together in California. Joan moved in with Melissa after the September 2010 launch of “Fashion Police,” a comedy program critiquing celebrity fashion, which Joan hosts and Melissa produces. The E! television network announced this month that “Fashion Police” would be extended from 30 minutes to a full hour in March. __
