Do you all know about the big controversy going on? Stephen Baldwin was on Howard Stern show today, and i missed most of it, but apparently he put his hands around Kathy's neck and "play" strangled her and she got very upset and stabbed him in the hand with a pen. She threatened to leave the show, and they are not speaking. Howard Stern tried to get them together on the show to talk it out but she is afraid of Stephen. He wants to come back on the show in Hannibal Lechter gear, chained down so she will come on, and they are going to try to get her on under those conditions, but actually I think she is seriously upset and will not make a show out of
it.
Also Corbin and Stephen have a bit of a fist fight, i think on tonites show, but Stephen said it was really brief and that they are still good friends and hang out.

Does anyone know any more details or dirt?

They showed all those scenes in tonight's show, Donut, and it all looked to be just playing around.

Stephan was playing around and Kathy was just sick of his antics and did not find his horse play funny. That is how I saw it. He did a pretend strangle but he was too rough. He also kept annoying her with fake punches stopping just short of her face. I would find that tedious as well. He is obnoxious and just does not know when to stop. She was his target for this kind of humor and she got sick of it.

Corbin was on The View this morning and confirmed that he and Stephen were just playing around, and Corbin thought it all in good fun.

I loved Kathy's comments at the end of the show, after the execution. She expressed my thoughts exactly!

Anything you see or hear on Howard Stern is for show only. Kathy and Stephen were messing around, as Kathy has said she would like to kick him off the show many of times, but in the next breath they are playing around and he is making her laugh.

I think they are doing this all for the media hype, which this show really isn't getting.

Kathy said in an interview that he really did annoy her with his constant rough housing. He would not stop or let up when she asked. It got to be too much very quickly. She holds no grudges.

Kathy Griffin did a really short phone interview with Howard Stern this morning. It was short because Howard was sick and in a lousy mood and said he knew he was giving her a lousy interview and he would call her back later in the week when he felt better.

Anyway, what I got from the interview is that Kathy and Bababooyee (sp?????) otherwise known as Gary (Howard's producer) were taping Hollywood Squares together.

Gary is trying to get her to come into the studio with Steve Baldwin but she is afraid to come. Even Henry Winkler (he's producing HS now) and a few other people were trying to talk her into going.

Gary said that what she is mostly afraid is of what he will do to her after the show when they are out in the hallways and she wants bodyguards. Gary was also trying to convince her that Steven is not in the Mafia or related to it.

When she got on the phone she said that he did scare her with the choking and that he is pyscho. And that after he choked her she went up to the producer with her husband and that if they didn't reel Steven in, she was going to leave.

So I still believe that Kathy is the mole and to keep her, the producers lied about Steven's score and booted him off.

SHe also said that they were each paid $25,000 to do the mole and they get an extra $5,000 for every round they make it through.

Grooch - listening to Howard is rotting your brain ;)

Although I do wonder if she is the Mole since she is hosting the re-broadcast on ABC - Family on Mondays.

That does seem very "coincidental" doesn't it?

Ryn, at least I'm not rotting it with Meet The Parents. ;)

Besides, I posted before the show started that I think Kathy is the mole.

I am quite proud that I am rotting mine. Embrace the notion and go with it. Ryn, your wife can cut your meat.

fruit, if ryn's brain rots, he won't know what meat is. hell, he might not even remember his wife! he could go on 'fear factor' and not be afraid to eat lenny and squiggy's toe jam or whatever it is they are comsuming these days.
there is so much 'reality' tv these days, i wonder if this sunday's stuporbowl is going to be real--or just some people from belly's having a laugh. they can call it the 'belly laugh'...and eat boogie sandwiches.
gosh, my brain has rotted, too! what fun:>)
excuse me, ryn's wife--can you cut up my boogie sandwich, please. a little help here!!

i have seen kathy on a few things over the last couple of years and didn't realize she is THAT frantically hyper and out there. she is like bobcat goldthwaite or whatever his name is...loud and brash. i actually liked her better before seeing her on the mole, where she under-works and over-reacts. is she really, truly afraid of baldwin, or is this another act? with her, who can tell if she is pretending fear or really afraid when he fake chokes her.
i had thought, when i heard she would be on this show, that we would see her jumping into it feet first and really getting into all the challenges. i guess her 'activeness' is all mental and not physical!!
my daughter can't stand corbin ever since his 'maimed for life' attitude about the scratch on his arm!

Kathy bothers me a bit in that it's difficult to tell when she's joking and when she's serious. She's always joking around (and usually I think she's pretty funny), but I think people have trouble knowing when she draws the line since her humor is a little edgy and sarcastic. I *really* didn't think she was that upset with Stephen over the choking stuff (maybe a little annoyed, but she seemed to be generally annoyed with him - lol). But her talking about how she wanted him to stay away from her sounds serious, and I kind of feel a little sorry for Stephen because it paints him in a bad light (not *too* sorry though, since I don't think he'd even care :)). It's also strange that she'd say some nice things about him after his execution if she was so upset, even if she did mix it with the bad.

Ah well. I still find her entertaining on the show, even if she kind of confuses me. :)

Edited to add - Apparently there's something about Kathy being upset with Ryan Seacrest about the Grammy Awards (which I didn't watch) for revealing her bra? She's badmouthing him like she is Stephen, but Ryan claims that she seemed okay right afterward, and even told him that she thought they both came across well. Hmmm.

I don't remember where it was but I read that she was not upset with Steve at all. It was a "where are they now" type article with Ruthie of RW, Kathy from Celeb. Mole, Dan from RW, Ethan and Tina from Survivor (they said Tina has spent all her winnings), and someone else maybe the bachelor? I get the feeling Kathy is playing this up for more publicity.

I saw Tina on "Designer Challenge" a few weeks ago she and her family bought like a 400 thousand dollar home and were redecorating the LIVING ROOM for like 35 thousand dollars...

So she might have spent the money but it seems that she used it to give her family some nice things...bet she also put money into a trust fund for college educations for her kids...

No one as young as Tina and Ethan could retire on a million dollars winnings...and BB houseguests aren't even going to be able to live on that money for more than a year or two...

Kathy hosting is the thing that makes me NOT think she is the Mole. I think they would not have her do that if she was the one.

But what do I know.

I think the mole is Fredirique(sp).

I don't think Kathy's personal schedule is involved in their choice. All actors have things on their plate and were picked to be on this Mole due to a hole in their schedule among other considerations.

Yeah. Corbin Bernsen's hole opened up in 1996.

'bastable', she says, as she wipes tears of mirth from her cheeks and ice water from her keyboard, "please forwarn me next time!"

I think Kathy is the mole. I saw her on Jimmy Kimmel Monday or Tuesday night, and when Jimmy introduced her, he called her the mole of Celebrity Mole and when Kathy came out, you could see her mouth to him, "don't say that...you're not suppose to say that yet!" and then they both just talked like he never said anything revealing. I think he slipped and she really is the mole!
