Hot: Supermodel Heidi Klum in the dress which sparked the joke from comedian Joan Rivers. She said: 'The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into ovens' Joan Rivers has been blasted by a Jewish pressure group for a joke she made about German supermodel Heidi Klum's daring Oscars outfit. 'The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens', said the 79-year-old - herself Jewish - before doubling over with laughter. The veteran comedian made the comment about the Holocaust on Monday's Fashion Police show on E! when reviewing the low-cut shimmering gold dress worn by the German beauty to attend Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood.
