Comedienne Kathy Griffin is my "Celebrity of the Week" for many reasons, and I adore her so much it's hard to really explain how or why! I had vaguely heard of her reality show "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" before, but never really knew who she was or what her show was until my ex-workmate Mark gave me the first two episodes of Season 5 on a DVD he made me! Instantly I fell in love with her and watched the whole rest of Season 5 (and 4 now) and enjoyed every second of it! She makes me laugh so hard! Each season kind of has a different theme but the main thing is, she's trying to get more famous and she's very shameless (and comedic) in her approach in doing this. She proudly admits she's on the 'D-List', although these days, she's looking a little more A-List. She has made various headlines throughout her career. Firstly, she's done many sell-out tours as a stand-up comic (her forte), and gained her early fame from starring on "Suddenly Susan" with Brooke Shields. Also,
I recently read her auto-bio "Official Book Club Selection", named so readers would think she was on Oprah's book club, and it exposed a lot about her life! As well as it being HILARIOUS, it showed just how hard she had worked to get to where she is now - she literally earned every inch of the fame she has and mainly, earned it through hard work and talent, and she deserves all she has!
She's released two Comedy albums, 'For Your Consideration' and 'Suckin' It for the Holidays' which were both Grammy nominated and hilar (but unfortunately, she didn't win. F-ing Colbert...). Her reality show has won 2 Emmy Awards, which is pretty amazing! (AND deserved!) Kathy has also done the NOH8 campaign (a great cause) which was good. She's hung out with many famous A-Listers on the D-List, Season 5 featured Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, Paris Hilton, T.I. and Suzanne Somers.
My overall reason for loving Kathy Griffin... she makes me laugh!
