Kathy Griffin’s Best Gay Blog
Kathy’s “best gay”, Dennis, has a blog now. I love Kathy Griffin’s new show, and so I wanted to add a quick link to the blog. Click here to read it.
Tomorrow is a new episode of her new show on Bravo. I can’t wait.
“we will survive”
Those were the parting words in the narration of Queer As Folk. Tonight was the last episode of the U.S. series. We’re sad to see you go, guys. Your brilliance and honesty has helped shaped an entire era of television, and helped pave the future for gay television.
Thank you for everything you’ve done. Thank you for giving insight into gay people as real human beings, not just airheaded sidekicks on sitcoms. Thank you for inspiring today’s gay youth & adults to be strong and be themselves, even in these troubled times. If this show were around when I was growing up, I have no doubt it would have seriously helped me come to terms with being gay.
But now it’s happened, and nobody can take that away. Your legacy will live on thanks to DVD’s and re-runs, and you will be there to inspire and educate both gay and straight audiences. Your presence will be missed on Sunday nights, but we know that you have left your mark in history, and that can never be changed.
Bobby!!!
I have to confess I can’t stop thinking about the new reality TV show “Being Bobby Brown” on Bravo.
First of all, if you don’t know what it is — basically it’s cameras following around Whitney Houston in her daily displays of madness & confusion. I don’t care if the show is supposed to be about Bobby, you know damn well it’s about Whitney.
It’s difficult to watch 2 mins. of the show without thinking “this is ridiculous, why I am I watching this?”. It really is crazy. But there is always this day-after effect that I get. I start hearing Whitney in my head yelling “Bobby! Bobby!”. She does it all the time. She stumbles around, strung out on drugs, and is always searching for Bobby…who is usually drunk in some corner, mumbling to the camera about how much he loves his wife and kids.
My favorite example is when they were in London shopping, and she was just walking around in the mall saying “Bobby! Bobby?” and she’d just ask random people “Have you seen my husband?”.
Then there are the random references to “The Bodyguard”, which came out 13 years ago! Whitney will sing part of “I’m Every Woman” or Bobby will say that Whitney looks like she did in the movie. C’mon…it’s been 13 years! I guess her fans aren’t the only ones who think Whitney was better in the 90′s.
And the final thing I love is when Whitney will stop what she’s been doing, and say “Whew.” Like she’s exhausted from walking up some steps, and she just has to say “Whew” in that singing voice…like it’s part of a song, and she’ll tilt her head and say it. And she also throws in this crazy fake laugh sometimes. It’s very thick, I don’t know where it comes from, but it doesn’t even sound like her.
So I hate this show, but have to confess I love some of the crazy things that stick with me afterward.
“Bobby!! Bobby… Where is my husband?…crazy laugh…Whew….”
the d-lister
Last night I watched Kathy Griffin’s new TV show on Bravo, Kathy Griffin: Life on the D-List. It was hilarious! I love Kathy Griffin, and I’m glad she’s got her own TV show. I also saw her new stand-up special, Kathy Griffin is Not Nicole Kidman, and it was equally funny… especially her material on Clay Aiken (“Gayken” as she calls him). I used to live in Raleigh, where Clay is from.
If you haven’t seen Kathy’s new show or stand-up special, I highly recommend them both. Find out more info at: http://www.bravotv.com/Kathy_Griffin/
