Cho, Griffin and Madonna
Margaret Cho made a not-particularly startling revelation – Donald Trump tried to get her to compete on The Celebrity Apprentice. “I was asked several times to be on it, season after season, and they kept saying, ‘Well, Donald Trump really loves you. Please come on,’ and I just had a bad feeling about it.” She didn’t completely boycott the show – she showed up during the 2010 season to assist pal Cyndi Lauper in a challenge. But, it didn’t end there. In 2016, Cho heard from Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen. “He somehow got my email and was really begging me to become part of the campaign. And I’m like ‘That’s insane.’ I’m a lifelong Democrat. Why would I back somebody that I didn’t know anything about?”
Kathy Griffin waded into political waters by making a revelation of her own. “I donated $10,000 to the Eric Swalwell campaign last November and today Team Swalwell gave me the 10K back!!! I want you guys to know that I turned right around and gave that same $10,000 to Amy Goodman and @DemocracyNow. You want legit, tried and true independent, NON CORPORATE journalism, keep up with @democracynow, and Amy Goodman.”

In a late-breaking diva moment, Madonna showed up at The Abbey in WeHo to celebrate owner Tristan Schukraft’s birthday. She had on one of those outfits worn in competition by Tara Lipinski (or was it Johnny Weir? I get them confused all the time). “Hello, children, mutha is here to save you,” she said from the DJ booth. “Are you ready to dance for me? Come on, meet me on the dance floor. Alright, let’s go gays, come on. Don’t let me down, gays.” Then she sang, danced, served a few drinks, emptied a few ashtrays. You know, the usual.
