On Wednesday’s Law & Order: SVU on NBC at 9p Kathy Griffin will be playing Babs, a lesbian activist whose group members are being murdered. While Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is protecting her, Babs misreads the signals and kisses her. That kiss has to be the most awkward same-sex kiss on TV so far, but I think it was suppose to play out that way. Even as uneasy as it felt, I am sure there will be a lot people who will be using the :10 second rewind feature on their remotes to watch it over and over again.
BTW there are two new episodes of Law & Order: SVU this Wednesday, one at 9p and one at 10p. This will be first time SVU will air in its old timeslot since the failed Jay Leno experiment.

Tonight on CBS’ The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS at 12:37a Kathy Griffin tells him how she says was fired from CNN for saying f*cking and explains why she “accidentally” said it.
Craig Ferguson “I thought you were fantastic. You were hilarious. But apparently at some point you said a curse word. I must have fallen asleep or gone to the bathroom or something,, but what was it you said?â€
Kathy Griffin – “I am sure you are confused if you think in any way that I would ever try to curse on television how dare you, you son-of-a-handsome-gun. I am really watching myself. Can you tell? I am really on my best freaking behavior. It’s killing me.â€
Craig Ferguson – “Why, did they fire youâ€
Kathy Griffin –“…I don’t think I have really done a job well until I get fired. So am I getting fired from this phone call? Tell me what’s going on?â€
Craig Ferguson – “No I was wondering if you got fired from CNN. Did you get fired for saying F*@# on TV?
Kathy Griffin – “Well really it was a miscommunication. Because we were talking a lot about the balloon boy Falcon Heene and I was amused by if you watch the worldwide coverage of that story then you can hear his first name pronounced in many different ways and in fact his own mother has an accent and there were times that it sounded like she pronounced the name of her own child falcon as a verb that adult film actors use when – they are fucking.â€
Right before Christmas the D-List star told him (in the above interview) that if she cursed during her New Year’s Eve appearance that it was in her contract that she would have to give back the money they paid her to appear on the special. So it makes sense why she went to Craig to tell him why she used the word and why she she says she was fired from doing any more paid appearances on their network. But just like The View I am sure she will be back on the air once again.
BTW when it comes to her cursing, I am sure she knew she was going to curse at some point during her live stint. I am not sure I have ever seen her do any interview without cursing, but they luckily were able to bleep her unlike CNN that stupidly chose not to used the 7 second delay before the final countdown of the year. It is Kathy Griffin, she is so desperate for attention.
UPDATE: Here is Craig Ferguson’s phone interview with Kathy Griffin about New Year’s F*cking Evegate.
Even though Kathy Griffin said the D-word on CNN last year during their New Year’s Eve coverage, they still decided to hire back to co-host the night with Anderson Cooper. She told Craig Ferguson that when she agreed to co-host that CNN wrote in her contract if she swore again she would have to give back the check. Well Kathy is giving CNN back the money they paid her because she dropped the F-word last night when talking about the Balloon Boy. She says Falcon, F*cking, Falcon. CNN had to know she was not going to be able to not curse throughout the night, so they got their money’s worth!!!
BTW who else besides me thinks she will be back next year once again to say another curse word?
Before Kathy Griffin’s Life was on the D-List, she was a reporter on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. If it wasn’t for the voice and the hair color, I never would’ve guessed that was a 30 year old Kathy Griffin in that 1990 episode. BTW what was up with her hair back then?
