I'm a Christian, but I enjoy Kathy Griffin's humor (except for...)
July 06, 2008
One of my dirty little secret pleasures is watching D-Lister, Kathy Griffin and her "Emmy-Award Winning TV Show" Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. I know, surprise, surprise. I just love out there women who push the envelope and tell stories on celebrities that their publicists would kill to squelch. It totally cracks me up!
Plus, her gay following is hilarious. Probably the main reason she's such a huge success, right? That and because she's willing to offend people so completely. The only thing that I can't get behind is her railing against Jesus. Granted, knowing her sense of humor, it's just for shock value, but still...
I can't find the email to share with you, but my mom sent me an email filled with famous people who said similar things and ended up dead. John Lennon I remember, the rest, I forget. Wish I could find it. It was shocking to see how many famous people died.
Don't mess with Jesus Red!:)
Does anyone else think she looks like a younger prettier red head Dame Edna? Doesn't she? Her mom totally reminds me of my little mom which makes me laugh when she's on screen. My mom doesn't drink at all like that, but she's the same size (kinda) and funny too.
I think CNN's Andy Cooper (Anderson Cooper to you byatch), looked like he was almost afraid of what Kathy was going to say next in their New Year's Eve episode together, but was totally loving the fear! I think he must secretly love funny bad girls. I'm over here Andy!!! LOL
I can NOT even believe she's dating one of the greatest minds of our century and billionaire, the co-inventor of Apple Computers, Steve "Woz" Wozniak. I loved how she snuck a hair cut on him on live TV. Totally funny.
Other than the swearing and Jesus bashing, I think Kathy is hilarious. What about you?
Oh, and if you're curious... I don't write about everything in my personal life. Got keep some of it private, right? So, if you want to date me, don't worry I won't write about you (unless you're a jerk because then I can mock you.:)
Just thought I'd share!:)
Wow, why don't you send this to Kathy so she has a heads up about Jesus bashing? I am not a fan of her show but I wondered what Christianity has to do with Kathy anyway.
Here is something else to ponder: Women bashing other women on any level. I think it is a no-no and that we females need to uplift each other or else we give men the wrong idea that it is okay to treat us badly. What do you think of that?

Hey Chloe,
Thanks again for writing. You must not have read about her blasphemous blast against Jesus during her Emmy acceptance speech, or the ad the Christian entertainment community took out saying she had crossed a line.
Watching Kathy and seeing her ego, she'll find this blog soon enough.
Sarcastic humor is an acquired taste and I guess you don't get mine. I bet she will find this funny if she does read it.
Anyone know Kathy and want to invite her to comment too? Lovin' the dialog.
I wasn't being funny about the dead part though. That's serious. Don't mess with the big guy. Here's the link to the article I'm referring to: http://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSN1144512920070911

Note to Kathy: Lay off the plastic surgery! You're not in the entertainment biz to be a pretty lady. In fact- you will never be pretty.
Just concentrate on being funny.
Otherwise- you'll be the joke. (think Joan Rivers)

Billvie, You're proving Chloe right by bashing Kathy in this way (even if you're right about stopping with the plastic surgery.)
Let's see, what can we say uplifting about the girl who makes a living mocking everyone?
GO Girl!
