I\u2019ve been worried about Kathy Griffin<\/strong>.  We caught up a few months ago at one of her comeback shows at the Mirage <\/em><\/strong>in Vegas.  She was as funny as ever, but had enough rasp in her voice to play Stevie Nicks<\/strong>…or Jimmy Hoffa<\/strong>!  But now, after all she\u2019s been through, she\u2019s back \u2013 and that extends to her speaking voice.  She had an implant put on her vocal cord, which she describes as \u201ca boob job in my throat.\u201d  If you didn\u2019t know better, you\u2019d never guess anything happened \u2013 aside from an oddly placed nipple!  While she\u2019s getting some \u201cdental work\u201d done, might I suggest it\u2019s time for an overall tune-up?  Sure, she broke the record for the number of times a female comedian has played Carnegie Hall <\/em>(last held by Joan Rivers<\/strong>).  But, why not look \u201crefreshed\u201d while doing it?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a whole lotta celebrity deaths that I haven\u2019t mentioned.  First was one of my favorites \u2013 Mitzi Gaynor<\/strong>.  The epitome of glamour, sex appeal, and class (my bon ami <\/em>Bob Mackie <\/strong>made most of her legendary looks).  She was a helluva gal.  Then there\u2019s Teri Garr<\/strong>.  Was anyone funnier than Teri?  Did you know she started out as a dancer?  Hours after she passed, someone posted a video of the historic T.A.M.I. Show<\/em><\/strong> from 1964 \u2013 which featured a dozen musical groups.  One of the more memorable performances was done by The Supremes<\/em><\/strong>.  And while they were singing \u201cWhere Did Our Love Go?\u201d, there was Teri, shimmying between Mary <\/strong>and Flo <\/strong>wearing what appears to be a Target <\/em>tee.  The video can be seen on BillyMasters.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The big-screen version of the musical Wicked<\/em><\/strong> found itself in an uncomfortable situation.  Apparently, some of the dolls based on the film characters manufactured by Mattel <\/em>were on the Target <\/em>shelves.  The dolls themselves were fine.  But the packaging did not feature a link to WickedMovie.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, but instead Wicked.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a> \u2013 which is an adult porn site!  Imagine parents trying to explain to kids what Kenzie Loves Girls 2<\/em><\/strong> is about \u2013 and if they can watch it without seeing the first flick!  Of course, I\u2019m pleased to see any connection between Jonathan Bailey <\/strong>(Fiyero) and porn!  Mattel <\/em>takes full responsibility, and the merchandise was pulled from the Target <\/em>shelves.  But if any of you have one, hold onto it.  I bet it will be worth real money eventually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
