Kathy Griffin Is the Liza Minnelli of Dick Jokes

Michael Musto · 10/16/13 03:00PM

The mouth that roared, Kathy Griffin has pissed off Barbara Walters, offended Jesus freaks, and said “f**king” on TV, but she keeps on tr**king, more abrasively funny than ever. Chatty Kathy will appear at Carnegie Hall on November 8 as part of the Caroline Hirsch-founded New York Comedy Festival. En route, I strapped her down for some brazenly bitchy banter.

Jerry Springer, television's ringmaster of the surreal since 1991, is adding a new show to his shocking plate: Tabloid, an ID channel enterprise (premiering next year) that will explore the truth behind some of the sensational headlines seared into our noggins like spilled battery acid. That headless body in a topless bar never had much to say, but affable Jerry certainly does, so I gave him a call to discuss.

Michael Musto · 09/18/13 11:00AM

Twenty-six-year-old Albanian-American personality Myla Sinanaj famously dated Kim Kardashian’s ex Kris Humphries, then proceeded to have surgery to look like Kim, do a raunchy sex tape like Kim (Myla Sinanaj—The Anti Kim XXX), and even warble out a song a la Kim. Having interviewed the E! zillionairess, I wanted to give Myla yet another chance to be like her tarnished idol, so I just stuck a recording device in her face as well. Turns out there’s something of Kim’s she expressly doesn’t want—Kanye.

Courtney Stodden Wants You to Read the Bible

Michael Musto · 09/04/13 10:59AM

Courtney Stodden might be meat for the tabloids—but she doesn’t eat the stuff herself. The 18-year-old Tacoma-born chanteuse, who famously married actor Doug Hutchison two years ago, when he was 51, has been through raging controversy, Couples Therapy—the show, that is—and a lingering aversion to dead animals. In July, she emerged in a faux-lettuce bikini at a PETA veggie-dog giveaway, where she extolled the joys of letting the critters live so they can roam God’s great, green planet in peace.

Michael Musto · 06/26/13 01:04PM

Farrah Abraham famously got pregnant at 16, only to have her boyfriend die in a car crash not long afterwards. Scandal stardom awaited as she worked out personal issues on MTV’s Teen Mom while birthing an unusual career in the reality spotlight. Farrah seized the chance to write a best-selling book, record an album of self-help songs, and just recently to sell a sex tape with James Deen for a reported $1.5 million. But that was then. Nowadays, Abraham, 22, plans to study at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business in hopes of becoming a restaurateur. Too vanilla? Don’t worry, she’s also working on a new reality show!

They were having a kiki about all the gossip on the show, so we listened in rather than listen to Countess Crackerjacks sing.
