princess 1,712 Report post Posted March 24, 2004 I'll be TiVoing this one, she's pretty funny. If you're reading this Kathy, come down to San Diego's Comedy Club!! Life on 'The D-List' with Kathy Griffin (Tuesday, March 23 03:52 PM) By Rick Porter LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Kathy Griffin knows who she is, a quality not to be taken lightly in celebritydom. Or in her case, its outskirts. "For me, I'm proud. It's actually something I embrace and enjoy," Griffin says of her self-proclaimed D-list status. "Other people like to raise the bar; I like to lower the bar. I feel that if I've made my bar so low, I can always leap over it and feel like I've won." Griffin's observations about life near the bottom of the Hollywood pecking order make up most of "The D-List," a special debuting at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday (March 24) on Bravo. The one-hour show is based on her semi-regular act at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, where she dishes about the more-famous people she encounters -- she takes pains to point out everything she talks about is true and based on her own observation -- and other aspects of life. She has other things on her mind too, however, ranging from "Average Joe" to the Federal Communications Commission. Here's some of what she had to say during a conference call with reporters last week. On the content of her special: "Let me just say that in the special, I imply that based on my observation of Whitney Houston, I think there's a slight chance that she may have a drug problem. Now I know that's a leap, but she's just gone into rehab, and now maybe you know I don't make this stuff up." On the quality of reality-TV contestants: "One thing that kind of does discourage me about reality TV is how stupid people are. And yes, I'm being judgmental. I admit it. I can't believe what morons regular people are. Okay? No one ever mentions missing reading the newspaper. You never see someone on a reality show freaking out because they don't know what's going on in the world." On the other hand: "I love 'America's Next Top Model.' I don't know if you saw it last [week], but I'm an emotional wreck over the fact that Shandi cheated on her boyfriend. Especially in Milan, on the eve of the big style competition." On the House bill approving much bigger FCC fines for broadcast indecency: "I just want to come out in favor of Howard Stern and against these ridiculous FCC fines that the House passed [recently]. I hope someone prints that this is getting really scary and I truly feel free speech is starting to be in jeopardy." On moving up from the D-list: "No matter what, I'll always feel like a D-lister, and I'll always live my life from the perspective of a D-lister. So I think I could go to a party at Gwyneth Paltrow's house, and somehow if I got in the inner sanctum, there's no way I'd ever feel like anything but a D-lister. And I'm pretty sure if I did go to a party at Gwyneth's, I'd still be somehow in the bathroom crying." On "Average Joe: Hawaii": "I didn't do season two [she hosted the first 'Average Joe'], but I love that she screwed up again. What is wrong with these gorgeous bitches? Can't they get it together? Do they have to pick the one guy out of the whole show who from the beginning is like 'Yeah, I'm not really interested in you'? That's the connection they talk about -- they have a connection with guys who don't even like them that much." On gift bags: "Being on the D-list is never as apparent as at gift-bag time. Every so often, that is one of the things I'd envy, is the A-list gift bags. Not so much even the work or the accolades, but the gift bags -- oohh, yummy."

princess 1,712 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 filth2go.com Come to think of it, go to Amazon.com anyway because you MUST pick up Kathy Griffin?s new DVD, Allegedly (a word I know a thing or two about). If you enjoyed her uproarious Bravo special (and who didn?t?), you will LOVE this DVD. Kathy had way too much material for one special, so the very next day, she taped this concert with even more scathing Hollywood dish and hysterical stories. You can get more information on Kathy?s website, KathyGriffin.net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cydonia 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2005 KATHY GRIFFIN FIGHTING BLINDNESS Brash comedienne Kathy Griffin is fighting to save her sight after being struck down by a rare eye condition. The funnylady, who is famous for her stand-up routines in which she pokes fun at Hollywood's top stars, has epithelial ingrowth in her right eye, which will render her blind unless she gets treatment. Griffin tells TV's "Entertainment Tonight" on a program to air Wednesday evening that the condition became apparent after she underwent a third Lasik eye surgery to improve her sight. The tearful Griffin insists she's only going public with her condition because she wants others to hear her cautionary tale of what can happen after eye surgery. She tells the show, "There is only one reason I'm coming to you guys and that's honestly to get the word out. ... I'm not getting anything out of this. I'm not getting any money. "I'm not suing anybody; I'm not doing it for publicity; I'm only trying to tell my story, my opinions, my experience." She also recalls the terrifying moment when she learned that she was going blind: "I lost it. I was sitting in his (the surgeon's) office crying, thinking, 'I'm going to lose my vision in my right eye." Griffin, who already has a cloudy spot visible in her right eye, is set to undergo one more eye surgery in an effort to reverse her condition and save her sight, but she accepts there's a chance it won't work. She adds, "I hope that maybe I can get my vision back, or maybe arrest it so it doesn't get any worse, but I really don't know." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My husband thinks she's stupid, but she cracks me up!She talks about how she loves to hang out with gay guys ~ did you guys notice who was at her game night with all of the gays? Lance Bass! Isn't he rumored to be gay? Well you know that his girl-friend Cheryl was rumored to be bi years ago. I remember when she came on the View 3 or 4 years ago. She was out of the pants, makeup and had a new hair style. At that time Star asked her about this new getup she was sporting. She says that now she friends more comfortable with herself and decided to come clean. Those are the words she actually used. Now, at that time I did not know that much about Cheryl or anyting. But, that short segment was taken to Access Hollywood the next night and they made a comment about her coming out of the closet. and sporting a "dress". SInce that time I've read so many rumors about Lance and Cheryl. You just cannot believe everything you hear and only part of what you see these days.

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted September 13, 2005 (NYDailynews.com)PUT A MUZZLE ON IT! Did E! personality Star Jones Reynolds try to put a contract out on her "Live From the Red Carpet" co-host Kathy Griffin? The zinger-tossing comedian claims that's just what Reynolds did. "Star wanted it in my contract at E! that neither I nor a family member, nor an employee of mine would be able to say anything derogatory about her from Aug. 30 through March 5," Griffin tells Steppin' Out's Chaunce Hayden. So did Griffin - who was recently demoted from the red carpet to a commentators' booth - agree to the conditions? "No! Of course not. Absolutely not.My whole career is making fun of everyone, including myself." Yesterday Jones Reynolds didn't deny Griffin's claim but responded through her PR rep, "As the host of E!'s 'Live From the Red Carpet,' it would be inappropriate and unprofessional for me to make a derogatory comment about any member of my team.
