Gossip Pure Gossip

CNN may say they are "sorry," they may say they will not bring Kathy back, etc., etc. Bullshit. Kathy will be there with Anderson come the end of 2010; this amount of free propaganda cannot be pushed aside only because a few old people complain about ONE word in a two and a half hour program. CNN knows Kathy brings in the young people, and the gay people in their totality! And that's not something to ignore because a few mummies say "fuck" is a bad word for their children to hear, their children who, by this time, should have been asleep for hours. Besides their lovely brats hear "fuck" every half an hour in school; but the oldies close their eyes, and ears, to it.

Hopefully Kathy Griffin's New Year's resolution was to be on CNN less, because the foul-mouthed comedienne has lost her visitor's pass after dropping the f-bomb on this year's show. Sorry Kathy, but we don't think Fox News will be knocking down your door now that you're available!

Kathy Griffin Banned From CNN

Following her very controversial F-bomb-dropping New Year's Eve hosting gig, CNN executives have decided Kathy Griffin will NOT be getting a 2011 invite. "She was a total embarrassment to the network that calls themselves 'The Most Trusted Name in News.' Even Anderson (Cooper, her co-host) thinks it's time to say goodbye to Kathy," a CNN insider tells me.

Not only did the potty-mouthed redhead drop the F bomb on live TV, she also made not-so-funny jokes about needing a "bump" of cocaine and asked Cooper if he pleasured himself while looking in the mirror. As sexy as the Silver Fox is ... that's just too much, Kathy.

Even worse than the comedienne's desperate need to shock was the fact that the show was a ratings bomb, as it fell far behind the family-friendly 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' on ABC.

Still, CNN publicist Shimrit Sheetrit tells me: "No decisions have been made yet regarding next year's show."

CNN, I find it hard to believe that you have not yet made a decision regarding someone who drops the F bombs live on your network!!!

Either way, it's nice to see Dick Clark on top like the classy fella he is.

WHAT? Dick Clark is a classy fella? Dick Clark is a sweet man, an American Icon, a treasure in the Music Hall of Fame; but the classy only applies because of his reach back to the times of classic Rock 'n Roll. One uncomfortable appearance on TV does not make it a classy presentation -- a heroic presentation, a brave presentation, a sweet memory, an appreciated presentation yes.

I would not say that Kathy IS a classy fella either, but at least she has moved with the times and she is a lot more entertaining than our parents' and grandparents' icon. Those old fellas are the ones complaining of her behavior; those who are younger (ahem) or younger at heart prefer Kathy's humor, especially when it's a great and funny counterpoint to Anderson's lovely seriousness. Old people complain about Kathy; young people (and ALL of the gay people) love her!
