As you’ve probably heard by now, Joan Rivers passed away last week at the age of 81.

Rivers’ funeral – held yesterday in NYC – was a star-studded affair with a eulogy from Howard Stern and a musical performance from Hugh Jackman.

But while she spoke about her desire for a final send-off that was “Hollywood all the way,” there was reportedly a handful of celebrities that Joan did not want at her funeral.

In fact, sources say Joan was so adamant that certain A-listers not be allowed inside that she made a list to be given to the security team at the temple.

We may never know for certain what names were on the blacklist, but Joan joked about which stars she didn’t want on hand in one of her final interviews.

Just weeks before her death she told The New York Times Magazine that she didn’t want Michelle Obama to attend because she’s “a tranny,” while Adele and Chelsea Handler are “fat” and “a drunk whore,” respectively.

We think it’s safe to assume none of the ladies she mentioned went out of their way to pay their respects.
