Latest photos for Official Book Club Selection By Kathy Griffin
There's no fine line. You either love her or hate her.
Two-time Emmy winner and three-time Grammy nominee Kathy Griffin, flame-haired self-appointed denizen of The "D-List," may forever be associated with her much-publicized Emmy Award acceptance speech, in which she concluded, "Suck it, Jesus! This award is my god now!" (On the chance she might win, Griffin had a writer friend pen the speech, a kind of "rebuttal" to the endless stream of winners who thank god while hypocritically living hedonistic lives.*)
She was also famously fired for a joke she perpetuated on the red-carpet in 2005, which she refers to in her book as "Fanning-Gate." Griffin was hired by E! Entertainment Television to "replace" the heavily sequined Joan and Melissa Rivers, who had just been inexplicably awarded an $8 million contract with The TV Guide Channel.
Griffin notes that since she's far from a "fashionista," and a wholly different type of performer, she opted out of "traditional" questions and commentary. She was given the "second" commentator position to blowhard diva Star Jones.
