Comedienne Kathy Griffin may be doomed to life on CNN's S-list after answering a heckler with a shrieking, vulgar tirade during the network's live New Year's Eve broadcast.

July 2003

Kathy Griffin 'Before' and 'After'.

After potentially fatal complications from a 1999 liposuction, she wrote about it in a women’s magazine (the story’s headline, “Lipo Sucks!”). Nevertheless, this year Griffin opted for more remodeling: a nose job in January followed by hair straightening, and an overhaul of her teeth, brows, waist, arms (yes, more lipo), and facial skin in May and June.

Meet Janet Hill, the woman secretly married to Steve Wozniak

Why has everyone from Kathy Griffin to Steve Wozniak himself been so coy as to whether or not Woz has remarried? Well, for starters, it would have clearly tipped My Life on the D-List’s audience that the “romance” between the comedienne and the billionaire Apple cofounder was a sham, though since when has that stopped reality television producers? More likely because longtime friend and Apple education development executive Janet Hill is publicity-averse.

Yeah , Richard Pryor.. didn't that foul mouth set himself on fire , trying to light up some drugs? That is really funny (sarc). Stupid and vulgar, and well now dead.

Richard Pryor was an absolute riot. By the way, he died clean and sober - of complications resulting from Multiple Sclerosis. He was quoted as saying: "God gave me this M.S. sh!t to save my life."

Sometimes a bit of actual knowledge of the subject helps one from looking foolish....

I knew Richard Pryor did not die from nearly burning himself during a drug fest, but he is still dead NOW. MS didn’t save Richard Pryor’s life, in fact just the opposite.

Probably Pryor saw the light on not using drugs when he was on fire. Sorry, I am sick to death of excuse makers for the drug culture years of the seventies of which Richard Pryor was a part.

Amen, Pryor was a more vulgar version of Cosby, they just didn’t tell jokes, they were storytellers. That was Pryor’s gift. He was the first to make black people and white people laugh at each other (Blazing Saddles, anyone?), and with each other. He probably did more for race relations than any civil rights leader.
