Know what's weird to me? I think Kathy is a little cutie and I don't get why Leno and others call her ugly. Sure, without make-up and a bad hair day it's a little scary, but isn't it that way with everyone? sheesh

Naja I think when they call her ugly it has nothing to do with looks, it his behaviour they are referring to

Pamy, it's hard to support that argument when Leno holds up a pic of Carmen Electra next to Kathy's pic and calls Kathy the "before" pic.

I posted this in my folder, reposting here. I highly recommend a visit to Kathy Griffin's area at BravoTV.com - funny stuff there, including a "Webisode", a 3-minute piece in which she calls numbers at a Gay Bingo game, assisted by the girl who played Cindy Brady on The Brady Bunch. There's also a sex tape she made with Dame Judy Densch, based on online votes as to how she could get off the D-List. Must.See. And, she has a blog.... "... Okay, backstory: Earlier this year, I bullshitted my way into the gift suite at the Grammy Awards, even though I really had no business being there, but you know me – I love gifts. And I love suites. So, while I was there, these people from the Gibson company gave me a guitar, and, like a fool, I volunteered to get a bunch of celebrities to sign it and then we could sell it on eBay and give the money to charity. I know, I know, enough with the charities already. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a cause. So now I’m out doing press for my vagina charity, and everywhere I go, I have to bring this damn guitar. But Jimmy and Tyra were wonderful, and they both signed it. And Damien Marley was a guest on Jimmy’s show, and he signed it. So now I have a Gibson guitar signed by Jimmy Kimmel, Tyra Banks, and Damien Marley that I could sell on eBay for charity, but if I did that then somebody would probably just bid $28,000 and then back out at the last minute, so instead I just gave up and put the guitar in my garage." http://www.bravotv.com/Kathy_Griffin/

Pamy, Leno had her in tears after she appeared on his show. My heart was absolutely breaking for her after - when her and Matt were in the car afte the show, she was crying and very hurt over what he said. I always favored Letterman over Leno, but after what he told Kathy, I'll never watch him again and I don't care who is on his show.

I like Kathy Griffin and I didn't see the Leno interview but.... I am surprised that she would have that type of reaction. Reminds me of the saying "You can dish it out, but you can't take it". I mean honestly I am glad I am not on the end of her spear. She is very harsh and rough on people. But I do like her. She cracks me up.

Tero... the difference is she doesn't make fun of anyone's looks. I can take just about any joking about either myself or anyone, but I don't like people making fun of how other people look. The way I remember how the Leno interview went, she brought pictures of herself with celebrities to show on Leno and when she showed a picture of herself with Carmen Electra, Leno made the comment about her being the "ugly girlfriend you bring to the bar with you" or the "before" pic - however he said it. It really, really, really pissed me off because I've never heard her make an ugly comment about anyone's looks. That was my take on it.

No..it wasn't hateful at all. Leno was making a joke. He didn't call her ugly. He was talking about when there are two girls together in a bar...a pretty one and her friend. Implying that when Kathy was with Carmen Electra...she was the "friend". Kathy got her feelings all up in a wad over it. Jay apologized profusely....over and over. You could tell that he was upset over it as well. He said it was never his intention to hurt her...he was just making a joke. Being that Kathy made a career playing the "friend" to pretty Brook Shields...who knew that she would be so sensitive about it...but believe me she was.

yeah, well as a girl it would have hurt my feelings too...if she was fat you wouldnt come out and say you are the fat friend in the picture, so calling her the ugly friend to her face was not cool...and I dont think Jay leno is mean spirited at all..just used some bad judgement and spoke without thinking

It wasn't said meanly at all. It did blow up in his face, but perhaps Kathy would have that same reaction if she said some of her jokes in front of the people she talked about. Did anyone see the new episode where she is going on Tyra Banks' show but is panicked that Tyra is going to be mad at her for her imitation of Tyra? I really like Kathy, but it sounds like she can dish it but can't take it.

i liked kathy much better before she had her plastic surgeries. she almost died after her first tummy tuck, and yet she did it again and some facial work. that's just insane. i'm sorry, but i don't base my love of comedy on a person's looks. she is just way too into the 'only good looking people or those who don't show their age' can be successes. i find it kind of ironic that the leno comments that so upset kathy were on looks, since looks are so important to kathy!

Tabby, that is exactly why it must have been upsetting to her! Since looks are very important to her, she does not want someone telling her that she is ugly because it reinforces her insecurities. For instance, my Achilles heal is how I dress. I constantly worry about people seeing me with the same outfit back to back. Whenever I go to court I stress about what I was wearing the last time I appeared at such and such place so that if I bump into someone who was there the last time, they won't think that I only have one outfit. This is silly, of course, but when I was a teenager I went to an affluent middle school and was ridiculed for not having a big flashy wardrobe. That said, I think Kathy had every right to be upset.

I think it was terrible that that one bid it up to 20,000 and then just said he didnt have money...some that wanted it might have been able to bid at a rate they could afford if that guy didnt bid it up so high. I havent seen last nites ep yet but I heard the guy not a happy camper, that sucks when so many would have totally enjoyed it

I'm wondering where this guy got the $5,000 to make the bid. She tried so hard to make it a wonderful weekend for him and he was ungrateful and unappreciative of all she did for him. He was more interested in getting a free I-Pod than then red carpet event she took him to. I still can't get over the nerve of this guy.

I know! Wasn't he a total jerk? Kathy was so nice to him. He could have at least acted like he was happy to be there. Maybe his parents won the auction for him and just wanted to get him out of the house!

from her blog..... So much stuff I could write about, but really is there anything more fascinating than… MICHAEL The funniest thing about Michael, my eBay houseguest, was that he was totally the opposite of what I expected. Actually, that’s the only funny thing about the whole weekend. The rest of it was just plain sad. I mean, come on – When I heard somebody paid $5 Grand to spend the weekend with me, I pictured this super-fabulous gay guy in his mid-30s, with lots of disposable income, who’d come to the house, maybe redecorate a little, and we’d have this totally wacky weekend where we’d laugh a lot, make fun of celebrities, and do each other’s hair. Instead, I got Michael. Who, by the way, I firmly believe lives in his parents’ basement. When I first met Michael, I wasn’t even sure he was out of the closet. That is, until later that night, when he started describing a man he’s had sex with who has a very graphic scar on his penis. When a guy does that, you know he’s out. And if not, whoops… Michael could not have been more unfazed by Hollywood and me in general. And the worst part was that the more unimpressed he was with me, the harder I tried to win him over. Sometimes when I do stand-up and I’m totally bombing, and I should just get offstage, I’ll just keep going and going, hoping that eventually the audience will laugh, even though staying on stage usually just makes them hate me more -- but I can’t stop, because I have a problem and I need people to love me. My weekend with Michael was kinda like that. Except I really don’t care if Michael loves me or not. (Okay fine, I care a little – I said I have a problem, for Christ’s sake…) NOT ONE OF THE GIFTED ONES… Michael was just so… what’s the word I’m looking for here… Oh yeah -- rude. Really, really, really rude. He never showed any appreciation for all the stuff we were doing for him. Like with the damn gift bag. I have seen people get in fistfights over a gift bag. Hell, I’ve gotten in fistfights over a gift bag. But when I tried to give Michael my gift bag from the Costume Designer’s Ball, he acted like I was handing him a bag of Pom-Pom’s poop. (Which by the way would probably fetch a pretty penny on eBay.) And bad enough that he didn’t want the stuff inside the gift bag – he didn’t even want the bag! And it was a frickin’ Lacoste! My parents were practically begging him to take it. They were all, “Take it. Take it. Give it to your Mom…” But he still wouldn’t take it. Because apparently the only thing Michael hates more than gift bags is his Mom. Oh, and you wanna hear something else? You know how I hired that private chef to come over and make a big fancy brunch for Michael? He wouldn’t eat the salad the chef prepared because it had garbonzo beans in it and he’d never seen a garbonzo bean before. But the best part is that on the way to the airport Michael asked if he could stop at Burger King -- and this is a direct second-hand quote -- because he “hadn’t had a good meal all weekend.” By the way, Michael, if you’re reading this -- guess what the main ingredient in a Whopper is? Garbonzo beans. THERE’S NO “I” IN “IPOD” Speaking of Michael’s ride to the airport, I also heard that he made the driver in the car play the latest Geri Halliwell CD not once, but TWICE! (And seriously, can we just discuss how random it is that Michael’s favorite celebrity is Geri Halliwell. Not Britney. Not Gaiken. But Geri Haliwell. Forget favorite celebrity -- she’s not even my favorite Spice Girl. I’m a “Posh” girl. But that’s probably just because I want to make out with Becks.) But my favorite thing about the whole Michael fiasco was how after he left, and we thought he was gone, we see him walking around the house, looking in all the closets, trying to find an iPod. When I first saw him, I thought he forgot something, but then he said to me, “I don’t mean to be a pain, but I really want that iPod.” And I was like, what the hell is this freak talking about? But apparently, the day before, when Michael was bitching about the gift bag, he said something like, “I thought it would have something good, like an iPod.” And my friend Adam told him that he should just take one of my iPod. That all celebrities have a closetful of free iPod. And since Michael doesn’t understand things like “sarcasm” or “jokes,” he thought Adam was serious, and he was coming back to get his free iPod. So here’s a word of advice for anybody else who might be staying with me some day: I don’t have iPods just lying around the house. I have my iPod. It’s got some Backstreet Boys and Celine on it. But no Geri Halliwell, so Michael would probably hate it anyway. Almost as much as he hates gift bags, and his Mom, and Garbonzo beans. http://www.bravotv.com/blog/kathysblog/2006/06/all_about_michael.html
