Give Kathy Griffin a Grammy, pleaseKathy Griffin is everywhere these days. The D-List star just wrapped up hosting duties on Bravo’s A-List Awards, the fourth season of her reality show My Life on the D-List just premiered on June 12th, and if you live in Los Angeles (and can still afford the gas for your car) you can cruise down to Sunset and Laurel Canyon and find the fiery red head on her very own billboard promoting her new CD, For Your Consideration.
Griffin has purposefully released this live recording of her February 17th show at the Grand Theater Center for the Arts in California, not so her fans can have her sassy commentary on celebrities at the touch of an iPod, but rather, so she could be in contention for the one award that has seemingly eluded her (and that she could possibly be eligible for since I don’t think any of us are seeing Oscar in her future): the Grammy.
Kathy’s reality show has already taken home Emmy gold and more recently she just won a GLADD award for Outstanding Reality TV Show. If Griffin gets her Grammy wish she will become a Hollywood triple threat: an Emmy award winning, Grammy winner, that is beloved by the gay community (it’s these kinds of accolades that have worked wonders for the careers of Liza and Barbara.) The new season of Life on the D-List will document her quest to win Grammy gold with her new CD. Some of tracks include "My First Rebanning (Hi Barbara Walters!)," "Oprah is a Deity (And I Think She is Full of S--t)," "The Osmonds Were Never Cool," and "Freaky Doll People (Demi? Oh Yeah!)" Provided that Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey, Donnie and Marie or Demi Moore are not on the Grammy board, I think that the snarky redhead may have as good of shot as any to get some Grammy love. Hey if Bill Clinton can win one, then why not Kathy? Will any of you be helping the D-Lister out and picking up Griffin’s CD? Submitted by on June 17, 2008 - 5:00pm. |

"These are the people that are dead to me."
I love her!
I've seen her show in Madison Square Garden in NY and I walked out massaging my face because it hurt from laughing so much.
She deserves every award there is, I'll definitely root for her getting a Grammy.
Love this woman
Love her comedy, But sometimes, it amazes me what she gets away with.

I love that red-headed
I love that red-headed Oprah. I can't wait to go out and get her new CD.
Give that lady a Grammy!
LOVE her.
Kathy is hilarious. She is my absolute favorite comic. I could watch/listen to her for hours and not get sick of her.
Give it to her!
She's hilarious and I don't think any does stand up quite like hers.

All generalizations are false. Including this one.
Go Kathy
Kathy definitly deserves a Grammy, she's hilarious.
I would watch, listen and go see her ANYTIME... she's just ecellent ^^
Grammytically Funny
Kathy absolutely cracks me up. I love watching her stand-up. Her latest 'D List' show has been awesome...and now she is dating Apple Bazillionaire Steve Wozniak!!
I too am amazed how she gets away with the things she says, but I guess it's kind of on the line of Don Rickles only Kathy is a helluva lot funnier. I think the reason she hits home so much is that she gives voice to a lot of what we think but would never say!
I say go for the Grammy Kathy!!!
Kathy and Woz broke up
I heard they ended their relationship and he is already dating someone else.
I also heard he bats for both teams. I pal of mine's older brother used to bang him back in the 70's. Apples are fruit after all.
I'm with Tristen (well, not LITERALLY!)
But I do have to agree that it's amazing what Kathy gets away with. And, quite frankly, her schtick is getting a bit tired. While I've enjoyed a few Kathy G. concerts in the past, she's got to get more depth than to invest all of her talent into solely bashing celebrities. Let's face it, the most successful comics have more reach than Kathy. I need a bit more intelligence than this one-trick pony.
You're right, AKEM, Kathy and the iMan did break up, and Woz is now engaged to another. Wish I could shed a tear, but both apparently are content to remain friends. Another silly publicity stunt to accelerate both of their personas, no doubt!
Love Kathy...
Love Kathy and her show. In fact, I'm watching an episode of My Life on the D-List now. I may just have to buy the CD soon.
Her assistant, Jessica, is hot.
