Daughter Dearest

I laughed a lot at this last week's episode of "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List". However, it was her mother, Maggie, who was responsible for most of my guffaws. The episode was divided between Kathy's campaign to win a Grammy and Maggie's new life as celebrity senior and mother figure to those Kathy used to refer to as 'my gays'.

Seeing Maggie talking to reporters, for example, was very amusing. She has her own humor, and one can see where some of Kathy's comedy bent comes from. Her parents were both characters and it is fun seeing Maggie find new interests in life now that she has lost her husband. How nice it was to see her posing for a magazine photographer, looking both stylish and confident. The woman has class.

Oh, not all the show was about Maggie and Grammy. There was a visit with Susie Orman where Kathy tried to get some advice for her three employees. In her own way, she does seem to be looking out for them and their futures.


Also, as part of her publicity campaign, Kathy wrangled Adnan Ghalib (Britney's paparazzi pal) into taking her around town to be caught on the cameras of some of his colleages.

In another reality tv show link, Adnan was involved in a story regarding one contestant's girlfriend on "Make Me a Supermodel".
But it was Kathy who had his attention this time, at least for the day.
