"I am thrilled to receive my second consecutive Grammy nomination ," said Kathy Griffin. "I am hoping the voters do the right thing this year as I have no interest in being the Susan Lucci of the recording industry"

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on Sunday, January 31, 2010.

Kathy Griffin returns to Denver

Kathy Griffin finally returns to Denver's Buell Theatre for a show on November 20. It's been way too long since she's been in town so hopefully she's been saving up a lot of filthy gossip and trash-talking for all of us.

Kathy Griffin - Suckin' It for the Holidays

'Suckin' It For The Holidays', the scathing new comedy CD for all seasons from stand-up provocateur Kathy Griffin, will be in stores Tuesday, November 3 and Kathy herself will be in Denver at the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre on November 20.

Recorded live during Kathy's sold-out show at the Borgota Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 6, 2009, the 'Suckin' It For The Holidays' CD arrives tastefully packaged with a full-color booklet filled with seasonal cheesecake featuring Kathy Griffin and Santa Claus in a winter wonderland.

"'Suckin' It For The Holidays' is my holiday gift to Grammy voters," said Kathy Griffin. "It gives them a second chance to do the right thing this year at Best Comedy Album time. The Emmys on my mantle are dying to hang out with a real Grammy."

A stand-up comedy tour de force, 'Suckin' It For The Holidays' provides an acerbic analysis of the celebrities and public figures, both awesome and terrifying, that provide fuel and fodder for Griffin's preoccupations and observations. On her new album, Kathy Griffin provides iconoclastic takes on Katie Couric, Maya Angelou, Suze Orman, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Donald Trump, the Real Housewives, Heidi and Spencer, her own mother and much more.

'Suckin' It For The Holidays' is Kathy Griffin's much-awaited successor to 2008's 'For Your Consideration', which earned her Best Comedy Album Grammy nomination. Kathy became the first female comedian ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums chart.

Kathy Griffin to be honored at GLAAD awards

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) announced today that Kathy Griffin will receive the Vanguard Award and the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson will receive the Stephen F. Kolzak Award at the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, which honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. The Los Angeles ceremony will be held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Saturday, April 18, 2009. In recognition of its final season on Showtime, 'The L Word' will receive a Special Recognition Award.

A long time ally of the LGBT community, Kathy Griffin consistently includes LGBT people on the two-time Emmy-winning reality program 'Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List',as well as in her comedy specials, her Grammy-nominated comedy CD For Your Consideration, and in her stand-up routines around the world. This year Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List received its second consecutive GLAAD Media Awards nomination for Outstanding Reality Program. When not making audiences around the world laugh on television or stage, she is a vocal supporter of marriage equality in interviews with media outlets including Larry King Live. In 2008, she appeared in a public service announcement produced by human rights group Causecast urging viewers to vote against Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that eliminated the right to marry for gay and lesbian couples in California. The Vanguard Award is presented to media professionals who, through their work, have increased the visibility and understanding of the LGBT community. Past recipients of the Vanguard Award include Janet Jackson, Charlize Theron, Antonio Banderas, Eric McCormack, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Read about the other honorees and attendees after the jump.


Bishop Robinson became the first openly gay Bishop of the Episcopal Church after he was elected Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire in 2004. He most recently delivered the invocation at the opening celebration of the Presidential Inauguration at the Lincoln Memorial. Robinson will be honored with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award for his work to raise visibility of LGBT-inclusive voices of faith. His ongoing work as a LGBT advocate has been featured in international news outlets including The New York Times, Reuters and NPR. His personal story is featured in the documentary For the Bible Tells Me So and in his 2008 book In the Eye of the Storm. For the Bible Tells Me So profiles several LGBT families discussing their Christian faith and received the award for Outstanding Documentary at the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Robinson joins Rufus Wainwright, Melissa Etheridge, Bill Condon, Todd Haynes, Alan Ball, Ellen DeGeneres and Sir Ian McKellen as a recipient of the award, which is presented to an openly LGBT media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for our community.

Showtime drama The L Word will receive a Special Recognition Award as the show concludes its sixth and final season. The L Word broke new ground for LGBT visibility on television with its focus of exploring the lives and loves of a group of lesbian and bisexual women in Los Angeles. Created by Executive Producer Ilene Chaiken and featuring a talented ensemble cast, the show is unique for prominently featuring women – many of them lesbian or bisexual – both in front of and behind the camera. The show has gained worldwide popularity, airing in 39 countries, and received nominations and trophies from the Emmy Awards, the NAACP Image Awards, the Leo Awards, the Satellite Awards, and the GLAAD Media Awards. Chaiken, along with cast members Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Kate Moennig, and Pam Grier will accept the award.

When MileHighGayGuy met Kathy

The Kathy Griffin interview posted below reminded me how much fun I had the last time I interviewed her. Of all the celebrities I've ever interviewed, she not only the funniest, she's the one most like her onscreen persona. What you see on 'My Life on the D-List' is no act, she's really like that. She gave me relationship advice and invited me to hang out backstage with her after her show at Comedy Works. I'll dig up some of those pictures and post them up for your enjoyment ASAP.

Meanwhile, check out some excerpts from the last time I interviewed Kathy Griffin after the jump (beware of some pretty sassy language).


Drew: Hi, I was thinking I’d have to go through a bunch of lackeys to get to you but here you are, answering your own phone.
Kathy: It’s true, I do answer my own phone, but don’t let it get out, Drew, I want the gay community to think I have a coterie of assistants feeding me grapes and living in fear that I’m going to have one of my infamous fits.

Drew: Are you a big fit-thrower? What constitutes a fit for you?
Kathy: You know what? I don’t really have fits but I have a fantasy of having fits. I want to be yelling at my team and I want to be firing people constantly and I want to be high on drugs and sobbing and making my assistants tell me I still look pretty. I want to have a lot of breakdowns.

Kathy: Are you in a relationship?
Drew: I am recently out of an eight-year relationship.
Kathy: Why? What was the cause?
Drew: Take one guess, Kathy!
Kathy: He cheated! Ok, can we just be honest for a second? I have a theory and I want my gays to own up to something. Cheating hurts! Guys say ‘Kathy you don’t get it, men can have sex and not care’ and I understand that but when you’re cheating it hurts the person you’re supposed to care about and there’s no way around that. You have my back on that right, Drew? But we’re the cheese stands alone.
Did you see George Michael on Oprah? I’m a huge fan of his and he’s very out now which is great and he goes on Oprah with his boyfriend and it’s all about Kenny, Kenny, Kenny, but of course all Oprah wants to talk about is the arrest. Oprah is really working my fucking nerves lately. That arrest was like how many years ago? And god bless him, he sang Faith and Father Figure. I mean, he gave up the hits! He was the perfect guest but anyway Oprah wanted to know what Kenny thought about the arrest and George was like ‘well, Kenny knows what I do and he’s cool with it,’ and the whole time I was thinking ‘fuck you! Kenny’s not so fucking cool with it!’ And they showed their home in England and of course it’s beautiful and I’m not saying Kenny doesn’t get his but at the end of the day, when the lights are out, Kenny is crying some soft tears into his pillow. A pillow with a very high thread count, by the way.

Kathy: Have you ever been on a gay cruise?
Drew: No, but I went on a straight cruise once.
Kathy: What? Yuck! Not only will this be my fourth gay cruise, it will be my husband’s fourth gay cruise. I swear, my darling, loving, victim husband knows more about daisy chains. Hey, all gay cruise s have ice sculpture classes and what does everybody sculpt Drew?
Drew: Um…
Kathy: Right! A five-foot cock and balls! By this time Matt’s just like ‘I hope they made the balls big this time or they’ll be melted by the time we get there.’ It’s like a show within a show if they’d just follow Matt around the cruise! We even went to a gay nude beach the last time.

Kathy: Do you know what they call the hot tub on a gay cruise? This is not a joke, this is literally what they call it… egg drop soup.
Drew: Wow, I’m gay and that even made me a little sick.
Kathy: Did that hurt your gay feelings? Good, I topped myself today! What kills me is that my straight friends, they think they party and I’m like ‘oh, no, a gay cruise is a whole new level!’ I mean these guys are serious. Just reeking, with mascara on their cheeks. It’s crazy.
But seriously, you are delightful to talk to. If you come to the show will you come say hi after? I just feel like we have so much to discuss!




Kathy Griffin behind the scenes at the GLAAD Awards

Kathy Griffin (ooh-la-la!) interviewed by ANTM's Jay Manuel (ugh!). Don't get me wrong, I love me some America's Next Top Model, I just cannot handle Jay Manuel's bad advice and ideas and his even worse hair and make-up. He's actually not too insufferable here, and of course, Kathy's always brilliant:
