Saturday Tee and I went to see Kathy Griffin at the Carver Hawkeye Arena. Tee is a big fan and I have to admit that I wasn't a reluctant attendee. For those who aren't familiar with Griffin's show "On the D-List" it's basically Kathy shamelessly crashing A-List events in an attempt to improve her own celebrity status.
Kathy makes her mark in stand-up now by bringing average no ones like me a glimpse of celebrity life from the inside. The stuff other celebs don't say about themselves. It's the stuff that doesn't make it on camera and it's definately not the fake, sensationalistic crap the tabloids spread. It's how celebrity X acts in green room or how celebrity Y talks about another actor.
One of the funniest things she talked about was Lindsey Lohan and her girlfriend. The girlfriend is apparently a big Hollywood DJ, who happened to be the DJ at the NBC pre-emmy award thing that Kathy crashed. Kathy claims that the DJ is a really butch lesbian type, so the punchline was the girlfriend saying to someone imaginarily flirting with Lohan, "You looking at my bitch? You looking at my bitch?" while mixing on her IPod, Wiggy Wiggy Wah. This is of course after going on about how much bullshit it is to call being a DJ with an IPod a career.
She was funny, trust me. I forgot the camera at home or I would have tried to snap a better picture than the one I took on my phone from 34 rows back.
