We've been going on partial reports since last week, when Kathy Griffin's taped Larry King Live appearance got bumped from CNN by the North Korea missile incident. As diehard fans of her comedy and her reality show, we've been as eager as you to know the truth about (among other things) her divorce. How much did Matthew Moline's bank account stealing account for their problems? Was their reconciliation staged? See for yourself.

After the jump, another clip, courtesy big brother Jossip, that you'll also be interested in seeing: Wherein Larry King acts as the pimp between Griffin and none other than Anderson Cooper.

When the Emmy nominations arrived yesterday – among the obvious nods to Family Guy, The Simpsons, and Grey's Anatomy – there came two shocks. First was Kathy Griffin's nomination for My Life On The D-List for Outstanding Reality Program. And second? Recognition of South Park's Tom Cruise-centered episode "Trapped in the Closet" for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour). Having been on the receiving end of Scientology's prowess for things like this, we understand the uphill challenge Trey Parker and Matt Stone faced when taking a dump on Cruise's celebrity. So while we won't be paying too much attention to whether HBO's Rome wins for best score, we will be holding out hope both Kathy and the South Park boys get a chance to hold their statute in front of a room full of their peers and .. do stand up.

58th Primetime Emmy Awards

In less than thirty seconds of airtime on the Today show this morning, Kathy Griffin managed to hit home on the two most relevant arguments against Conservative dummy Ann Coulter, who appeared earlier in the show to defend her statement on the 9/11 widows that "I've never seen people enjoying their husband's death so much."

Griffin first wondered why Coulter was wearing a cocktail dress at 7am, and then asked Al Roker to agree that Coulter makes up her material, to which he guffawed uncomfortably and did his best to change the subject.

We will do our best to shed some light on Ms. Griffin's first question though, and the answer is, undoubtedly: Ann Coulter likes to show as much skin as possible to distract viewers from her hideous horse face. Case closed.

Follow the links for videos of both interviews.

If your Golden Globes viewing experience seemed a bit empty you have one man and one man only to blame: Ryan Seacrest. Sure you still had the incoherent, drunken Joan to watch, but you know, deep down, you longed for the original Claymate herself, Kathy Griffin. So who really got our dear Kathy off the red carpet?

Hot Stuff has learned that Ryan Seacrest, 31, got comic Kathy Griffin, 44, axed from her hosting gig on E! Says a source, "Kathy has been awful to him" in her stand-up act, so when Seacrest finalized a new deal with the network (worth $21 million over three years), he made sure Griffin got the boot. Her red-carpet replacement? Seacrest, natch!

Even though we know you’re secretly one of us (a Kathy Griffin fan! What did you think we meant?), you’re now on our shit list, Mr. Highlights. But don’t worry about us, we’re peaceful people. Griffin, on the other hand, will probably beat the crap out of you next time she runs into you at the tanning salon.

In all seriousness, this will only supply her with an entire episode’s worth of material for the next season of My Life on the D-list. We can’t wait.

Our favorite Real Worlder Dan Renzi heard our cries and is doing something about the horror that is E! firing Kathy Griffin. You can help. Dan needs a few good homos.

Over at his blog Dan has made it easy for you to help bring back our favorite red head to her rightful place: the red carpet. He’s even drafted a letter for you.

Dear E! Entertainment,

Your decision to fire Kathy Griffin from the red carpet was an act of utter lunacy. Please reconsider your horrible decision, or I will personally endorse turning your network in to a home shopping channel.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Citizen

Head on over and send your letter. And send this to all your friends. A travesty like this should not happen silently.

The Griffin Petition [Dan Renzi’s Blog]
Save Kathy Griffin! [Dan Renzi’s blog]

The E! television network has made the sinful decision to fire Kathy Griffin from her role as red-carpet lookeyloo at The Golden Globes. And what’s worse, they didn’t even have the decency to tell her to her lineless face. Her lawyer had to hear about it when he called E! Prez Ted Harbert to ask what’s going on with the show.

When Griffin’s people called Harbert, “Apparently Ted told my reps that the E! red carpet is a puzzle and I am a piece of the puzzle, which is a wonderful puzzle piece, but I don’t fit this particular puzzle and that when I see the puzzle, I will get it. I am a piece that doesn’t understand only because they can’t tell me who will take over.
“They kept saying, ‘When you see the new puzzle, you will know it is not a personal insult.’ I was like, are you kidding? I got canned, bottom line. I can’t even be like Star Jones and be like, ‘Oh, I have a book tour coming up!’

Look, E! you can’t survive without the gay audience and the gay audience can’t survive without Kathy Griffin and Renee Zellwegger going toe-to-toe. Bring back Kathy and pronto! Someone who’s not lazy like us should start a petition.

E! Axes ‘Puzzle Piece’ Griffin [NY Post}

Hang in there Kathy. We got your back. We will take you out drinking and dancing so you can temporarily forget about the pain. We will set you up with our brothers and coworkers and neighbors. We will give you a shoulder to cry on.

Kathy Griffin has filed for divorce from her adorable husband Matt Moline after 4 ½ years of marriage. It is times like this that Kathy will need her best gays more than ever. Now that the Suddenly Susan star is suddenly single we expect a wilder, fag haggier Kathy to emerge. And her best gays will be her support system. Individual men may leave your life Kathy, but your gays never will. Ask Liza, Madonna, or Cher.

Being the jaded queens that we are we cannot help but wonder if this is all a PR stunt to compete with Rene Zellweger’s recent annulment filing. Is Kathy that over the top? Um, yes. Did you see her red carpet looks? Thanks Kenneth.

•Elijah Wood thinks it’s funny that people think he’s gay. He even names the site Elijah Wood is Very Very Gay as funny ha, not funny ha ha. For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, we present exhibit A.

•Chastity Bono and Bruce Vilanch are joining the latest installment of VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club, a.k.a. Watching Fat People Weigh Themselves on TV. The person seated below Bruce on Hollywood Squares is now breathing a sigh of relief.

•It seems the rumors are false. Lesbians aren’t as relationship savvy as we thought they were. Turns out they need pathetic self-help books just like the rest of us.

•Katrina is now affecting the transgendered community. Two tranny survivors were arrested for using the women’s shower at an evacuee shelter. I’m sure the bigger catastrophe was the clashing of their handcuffs and stilettos.

•There is a God. Both Kathy Griffin and Queer Eye guy Carson Kressley will be working the red carpet at this weekend’s Emmys. No word on what host Star Jones will be wearing, or how many babies she’ll devour beforehand.

What I wouldn’t give to be one of Kathy Griffin’s gays.

Joel Stein of The Los Angeles Times infiltrates Griffin and her gang of “gays” who she gets together with each week to participate in one of Queerty’s favorite activities: watching trashy reality TV. And the sassy ladies know how to party; they’ve all attended Backstreet Boys concerts, Janice Dickinson’s new one-woman show (a commentator’s dream) and also arrange cool scavenger hunts for Shannon Elizabeth’s birthday with the most ball-busting mission ever:

“The biggest argument of the meeting splits the group in two: Kelly Clarkson is performing in Las Vegas the same weekend as the annual Shannon Elizabeth scavenger hunt, which they organize with the Showgirls actress for her birthday. The winner is the first one to find Elizabeth's career.”

Stein proves how unworthy he is of basking in Griffin’s queenness by confusing Showgirls star Elizabeth Berkeley with the far less entertaining Elizabeth. How so very hetero of him.

A true gay would never make such a terrible mistake. Kathy, call me.
