Questionable Choices: Kathy Griffin And Jess Tyler Ferguson Have Taken The World’s Most Unsexy Photo

Liana Maeby — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:14:50 +0000

You see this photo of Kathy Griffin and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, take for Out Magazine? Are you looking right at it? Well, congratulations — you’ll never have sex again.

Jesse and Kathy have managed to create what very well may be the world’s absolute least sexy photograph. The photo is part of the magazine’s annual Out100 portfolio, and evidently, the pose was suggested by the two performers. It’s a riff on this Rolling Stone cover:

Just one or two subtle differences, right? Like how Jesse won’t touch Kathy’s breasts. And the face he’s making. And how unbelievably miserable and uncomfortable these two look. Way to squash libidos, Out!

America’s Next Top Model All Stars Recap: Honey Blood

Louis Peitzman — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:03:56 +0000

Some pretty amazing things happened on Wednesday night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model All Stars: Allison gave us Honey Blood, Lisa learned to challenge her inner NeNe, and Bianca fellated a pickle. Oh, and two contestants went home. All that and a visit from Kathy Griffin? My Top Model cup runneth over with fierceness. And you know that shit is hard to get out of the carpet.

We began with Bianca adjusting to life without Bre. Turns out not having her BFF in the house made Bianca extra cranky, which is kind of like Bianca all the time with more confessionals about how cranky she is. “It makes me cringe when I see Dominique’s picture up,” she said, crankily. Then she fought with Alexandria over shower privileges. (Alexandria is also cranky. Good to know she’s staying on brand.) “Bitches never win,” Kayla promised, and indeed, her premonition came to pass. But Kayla went home, too. That’s right—everyone loses.

In the most inspired challenge All Stars has offered yet, the contestants were asked tocreate their own fragrances. Celebrity perfumes are inherently ridiculous, and the ideaof giving D-list reality stars their own scents is especially absurd. Mmm, smells like… desperation? While I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing Lisa’s winning Neon (I hate the beach, love, and fun), I was definitely tempted by Allison’s Honey Blood. I bet it smelled adorable and weird. Alexandria called her fragrance “Diamondatrix,” which is as unwieldy as it is stupid. Way to go, team.

Next, the models had to sell the new fragrances to their adoring fans. (I don’t know where these people come from, but I’m probably just bitter I was never asked.) The contestants were asked to shill their wares from the comfort of outdoor bathtubs, which is ridiculous—but not as ridiculous as Bianca’s horrified reaction. “I’ve never seen Beyonce in a tub,” she insisted, as though that had any bearing on the situation at hand. I’m eating frozen grapes out of a Ziploc bag. I’ve never seen Beyonce do that either, and you don’t see me complaining about it. “I’m just not for sale,” Bianca explained. Because yes, hanging out in a bathtub in your bathing suit, is basically prostitution.

Things got even more meta at the photo shoot, when the models were dressed as reality stars with larger-than-life personas. Except rather than choose from a literally (not literally) endless array of potential TV personalities, the models were assigned either Snooki or NeNe. Seriously, just the two. I wanted to see Allison give us her best Danielle Staub. I wanted Laura to embody a Kardashian. I wanted something more than a Bumpit and a well-timed point—take it to the next level, Tyra. Go big or go home. Some other cliché that reflects my dissatisfaction with this shoot.

The only real standout for me was Bianca, because she caused some serious drama with her pickles. And as she was the first to point out, “I never thought that one jar of pickles could cause so much drama.” I’m not giving Bianca kudos for thinking outside the box, because she requested an exceedingly stupid prop that Jay had to nix for looking too phallic. I’m just delighted that she made such a fuss about pickles—that’s the kind of gleeful lunacy this reality show-themed shoot needed. “It’s a little selfish, but it’s also a competition,” Bianca explained, after literally grabbing a pickle out of Allison’s hand. “It’s not bitchy, it’s competitive.” It’s also amazing.

Side note: I am going to miss Bianca a lot. I know she was a pain in the ass, but my God, her sense of entitlement and detachment from reality were Top Model gold. I loved when she was talking about other “candid” celebrities who wouldn’t deign to sell perfume from a bathtub, and she used Courtney Love as an example. Courtney Love, you guys. Let that sink in like Honey Blood.

The guest judge this week was Kathy Griffin, who was thoughtful enough to show up tanned a lovely shade of Snooki. But again, Kathy was not bringing the reality show crazy. I loved seeing her here—and I loved that Tyra had to pretend she can take a joke—but I felt like Ms. G was holding back. Perhaps her best scenes were left on the cutting room floor. (A Tyra Banks impression? Oh, God, please let there be a Tyra Banks impression for the bonus footage episode.) At least Kathy told Dominique she needed to look more blackout drunk in photos, which is advice I think we can all take to heart.

And in the end, we lost Bianca, the realest of them all. How sad that she had to leave with what may be Tyra’s cruelest parting shot: “You’re not Beyonce, Bianca.” But their names are so close! I hope that Bianca is one day able to realize the irony of her I’m-so-above- reality stance and her I’m-not-here-to-make-friends behavior, but until then, I’m just glad she was able to make it so far while staying so consistently unpleasant.

Oh, we also lost Kayla. I have little to say about her. While I liked Kayla a lot during her cycle, she was a total non-entity among All Stars. I do give her credit for breaking new ground on Top Model, and reminding America that just because you’re a lesbian doesn’t mean you can’t be really fucking dull.

Kathy Griffin Declares Her Love for Justin Bieber, But She’s Really Mocking Jim Carrey

Natalie Zutter — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 21:03:33 +0000

While the rest of us were shuddering over how creepy Jim Carrey‘s “comedy routine” of a video love letter to Emma Stone was, Kathy Griffin was preparing her scathing parody of her fellow comedian. Her video message, copied almost line-for-line from Jim’s, is aimed at the only young heartthrob there is, Justin Bieber. Kathy waxes poetic about his lesbian bangs and the really awkward age difference between them. (Remember that the Biebs hasn’t even turned 18 yet!) What makes it funny is how she rejects all of the things that Jim wanted to do with Emma — get married, have sex, go camping.

Using Justin was kind of an easy joke, since it’s no secret that grown women lust after this kid. We would’ve liked to see Kathy send her cheeky retort out to a slightly older, but still shy, actor… Like maybe Emma’s Amazing Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield!

The ‘Hoarders’ Emmy Campaign Takes Digs at Kathy Griffin

Lilit Marcus — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 13:50:00 +0000

This year, the shows nominated for outstanding reality program at the Emmys are Antiques Roadshow, Hoarders, Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters, Undercover Boss, and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. While I’d be happy with any of these shows (well, except maybe Undercover Boss) winning, previous winner Kathy Griffin is a favorite in this category. The comedienne has used the Emmy wins as a bit in her standup routine in the past, complaining about how the reality show award is often presented during the boring technical awards broadcast, which she dubbed “The Schmemmys.” However, Hoarders‘ “For your consideration” campaign is using Kathy’s own words against her. Kathy is a huge fan of the show and has talked about it during her routines. Hoarders‘ ad to Emmy voters includes three of Kathy’s quotes (including “I’m obsessed with Hoarders“) and a tongue-in-cheek message at the bottom: “Congratulations to our fellow nominees, especially Kathy Griffin.” Well played, A&E.

Who Should Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa Go Out With?

Lilit Marcus — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 17:46:17 +0000

Isaiah Mustafa, aka The Old Spice Guy, told People magazine that he’s single (despite rumors of a hookup with Kathy Griffin) and presumably looking to mingle. But with whom? We have some suggestions:

Neve Campbell
The two were reportedly hooking up a few months ago. The relationship was never confirmed, but they did look cute together.
Kim Kardashian
It’s perfect, if you think about it – she always needs publicity, and Isaiah’s her type (muscular, athletic, macho).
Christina Aguilera
Considering the terrible press she’s been getting lately, hooking up with a guy like him could only be an upgrade. And then they could hire her to sing a new Old Spice jingle.
Laura Dern
Crushable intern Vanessa Prat suggests that the actress, who recently split from Ben Harper, could be on the lookout for another sweet, soulful guy to make her feel better.
The Herbal Essences Girl
Crushable intern Lucia Peters points out that two iconic beauty ads would go well together.
Countess LuAnn de Lesseps from Real Housewives of New York City
Money can’t buy you class, but Isaiah already has class to spare.

Suggested Chapter Titles for Bristol Palin’s Upcoming Memoir

Hannah Rose — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 17:24:37 +0000

This is just what literate Americans needed. On the heels of Jesse James announcing he’s writing a tell-all, Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin‘s 20-year-old daughter who infamously became a teen mom while Sarah was running for Vice President, announces she’s writing one, as well. According to the New York Times, Bristol has a book deal with William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins. The book is titled Not Afraid of Life and is due to come out this summer. Of the book, Morrow says, “Bristol gives readers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at her life for the first time, from growing up in Alaska to coming of age amid the media and political frenzy surrounding her mother’s political rise; from becoming a single mother while still a teenager to coping as her relationship with her baby’s father crumbled publicly — not once, but twice.”

I thought Bristol might be a little busy, what with raising a baby and all, so I decided to help her out and gently suggest some chapter titles I felt would be appropriate:

“Growing Up Palin: What it was Like to Sleep under a Blanket with a Boar’s Head Still Attached as a Baby”
“How a Little Game of ‘Just the Tip’ Turned into ‘Just the First Eighteen Years (At Least)’”
“You’re Running for WHAT?! How John McCain Asked My Mom to Run”
“‘But Look at Lorelai Gilmore!’ Breaking the News to Your Parents That You are a Pregnant Teen”
“Saving Face: How My Mom Bulled Levi Johnston into Proposing to Me”
“It Looked Like More Fun on Teen Mom‘: Raising a Baby as a Single Teen Mom”
” Levi + Kathy Griffin Forever?!?!”
“The Logical Reason I Was Tapped for Dancing with the Stars“
“Sarah Palin’s Alaska: The S#!t They Should’ve Shown!”
