Kathy Griffin

I am so into Kathy Griffin these days. If I were a lesbian or a 13 year-old girl, I'd be so stalking her! If I were a comedian, I'd wanna be her, except for her potty-mouth, of course.

To be serious, though, I think the reason I enjoy her so much is that she gets the craziness in our culture these days about celebrity. I think I also like D-List celebs best anyway. They're less pretentious, work hard, and are often tons more talented. Figure skaters are all D-listers, and much more worthy of admiration, in my opinion. I love that Kathy relentlessly makes fun of the famous, and that she takes no prisoners.

I love her reality show on Bravo. Her parents are a hoot! I watched the first episode of "Life on the D-List" tonight, and it was probably the best TV I've seen all week. She actually made me teary-eyed twice--when she talked about her divorce and when she performed at Carnegie Hall. I love TV that makes me laugh and cry, all in the same hour.

So Kathy has my vote to replace Rosie O'Donnell on The View!
