Kathy Griffin Gets Re-Banned From The View, Rejoiced by The Gays Normally we find women who so openly embrace fag-hagdom either terrifying or morbidly depressing, but we just can't help loving Kathy Griffin. Sure, the refreshing, brutal honesty and shameless love of gossip have been so played out in our direction that it at times feels like a condescending retread even from the best of them, but there are moments—shining perfect moments—when Kathy Griffin rises above every stereotype she wants to fulfill and really makes us proud to have her. We refer, of course, to the times when she actually manages to piss people off.
One such instance came up just this morning, as evidenced by K.G.'s very own testimony to Page Six:
"I was supposed to be on 'The View' [today]," Kathy confessed. "But then I get a call from [producer] Bill Geddie and he says, 'You were too mean to Barbara [Walters] on your last special, so you can't come on.' Can you believe it? I've been banned before, but never re-banned!" Mr. Geddie, of course, is undoubtedly referring to the comedienne's comments regarding Ms. Walters's alleged preference for AstroGlide to resolve her recurring vaginal dryness in her recent Straight To Hell special on Bravo. Alas, Kathy will never be banned in the hearts of the homos, which is why she seems the perfect choice for the cover of The Advocate's upcoming "Hollywood Issue," in which Kathy lets spill some Hollywood moments that even her stand-up audiences have yet to hear. “I knocked on [Liza Minelli's] hotel room door," she told interviewer Corey Scholibo. "She opens it up. The room’s pitch black, [and] she’s chain-smoking in bed. I get in the bed with her like Michael Jackson, and we watch The Asphalt Jungle. There was a guy who had been at the restaurant the night before—he’s one of these guys who seemed completely gay to me but had the hot girlfriend. I said to Liza, ‘Did you get a gay vibe from that guy, or is it me?’ She goes, ‘How would I know? Look who I married.’” Cue the knee-slapping! Unfortunate though it may be that she was unavailable for hosting duties at this year's GayVN Awards, she is playing a conflicting show the very same night in the very same town, ironically, at the very same venue the awards were held in last year! This means if we can pull a Fred Flintstone and be two places at once, we can relive all of last year's magic after all.
