she does look classy. i think i would put her in a more saturated color, tho, since that silver makes her look a little washed out. it's that damn pale irish skin! :laugh: seriously, tho, she looks great.

Yes, maybe an emerald color, and get rid of that beaded thing on her neck.

[JazmenFlowers]

I'm so happy for her and I know it makes her feel validated in some way. how many GayVN hosts are also Emmy winners? lol.

[Richard B]

I guess if you're loud enough, crass enough, faced pulled tight enough, and not funny, you can win an Emmy™.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Before Kathy Griffin won a creative arts Emmy last weekend for her reality show, "My Life on the D-List," she joked that an award would move her to the C-list.

Kathy Griffin was pleased to win an Emmy, but her speech will likely be trimmed.

She was right: "C" as in censored. The TV academy said her raucous acceptance speech will be edited when the event, which was taped, is shown Saturday on the E! channel. The main prime-time Emmy Awards air the next night on Fox.

"Kathy Griffin's offensive remarks will not be part of the E! telecast on Saturday night," the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement Monday.

In her speech, Griffin said that "a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."

She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, "This award is my god now!"

The comedian's remarks were condemned Monday by Catholic League President Bill Donohue, who called them a "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech."

According to the TV academy and E!, when the four hour-plus ceremony is edited into a two-hour program, Griffin's remarks will be shown in "an abbreviated version" in which some language may be bleeped.

The program was in production and unfinished, an E! spokeswoman said Monday.

Requests for comment were left Monday evening by phone and e-mail with Griffin's publicist. They were not immediately returned.

The Catholic League, an anti-defamation group, called on the TV academy to "denounce Griffin's obscene and blasphemous comment" at Sunday's ceremony.

The academy said Monday it had no plans to address the issue in the prime-time broadcast.

The organization may have another delicate issue to consider, this one involving an off-color fake music video that aired last December on "Saturday Night Live" and won a creative arts Emmy for best song.

Andy Samberg of "SNL" said Saturday that he had yet to be asked by the TV academy to perform the tune with Timberlake on the Fox broadcast, but he was willing. Timberlake, on a concert tour, is scheduled to be in Los Angeles next weekend.

The subject of their "(Blank) in a Box" video: wrapping a certain part of the male anatomy and presenting it to a loved one as a holiday present.

The academy has said that "show elements are in the process of being worked out."

[TwistedGypsy]

Good for her! She deserved it. But did they really think she was just going to get up there and not say something a little "off color". Don't they remember what she did when she didn't win. :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

:lol: She was joking. :rolleyes:

[mikeschmike]

:lol: She was joking. :rolleyes:

Well, normal people know that but try explaining it to the Catholic League! I guess they just need to let us know that they still exist in all of their outdated, obsolete, holy glory.

[JazmenFlowers]

omg. the same group of idiots that gave an Emmy to Dick in a Box are calling her comments "offensive"?

lord. oops. is that offensive? :cool:

she probably won't get another...she bettah treasure it.

[Livia]

Yay for "Dick in a Box." That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on SNL. :thumbsup:

I'm so tired of everyone being offended about everything all the time. Who the hell cares, seriously? People act like being offended will just absolutely kill them.

I hate political correctness. :distress:

People try to jam their morality down everybody's throat and use a sugar coating term like PC. It's a ****ing joke to see how far people have gotten with it. And what about dealing with real problems? Jesus sucking it is worse then circle jerks in the confessionals with the priests? It's mind blowing.

[carrie721]

what the christ, kathleen. what a ****ing douchebag.

Oh, exactly.

Here's what really chaps my ass: we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, supposedly... and it's illegal for the government to censor what is said on television or radio, because everyone will bitch about that... but it's perfectly acceptable - righteous even - for these groups to "force" them to censor her comments.

I knew the moment I read what she said that people would have a problem with it. And that's fine and dandy that they do. I'm sure my grandparents or mother would be kind of disgusted about saying "Jesus can suck it".. and they probably wouldn't like Kathy Griffin anymore.. but they aren't members of these extremist organizations. The most they'd do probably is pray for her. :laugh:

Anyway, interest groups as a whole.. whether they're organizations I would have nothing to do with like the Catholic League or Family Values whatevers, or causes that reflect some of my similar values, Sierra Club, Peta, and to some extent the ACLU.. are really screwing things up for everyone. It's all just about money and - like you said - cramming values down everyone's throat, and it's disgusting. Everybody on every end of the spectrum is getting out of hand these days. :distress:

Haha, and I read somewhere that he wants to perform that at the Emmys this Sunday. Like I told my sister this afternoon, the day America airs a song like that during a show like that will be the day Bush becomes a democrat.

As for Kathy... I hope she sucks on that Emmy and chokes on it. :D

:distress::distress::distress::distress::distress::distress::distress::distress:Yeah, I just love her. :wavey:

[carrie721]

Yeah, I just love her. :wavey:

i hope you never have tasty mushroom sauce again :mad:

[danax6]

i hope you never have tasty mushroom sauce again :mad:I'm already paying the price. I've been visiting the porcelain god more than I've been getting work done. I'm telling you, that stuff was off. :shocked:

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^
i don't believe this at all. i'm offended. :mad:

[DrummerDeanna]

Geez. I have said way worse stuff about Britney's kids tbqh. I think they're two of the ugliest little buggers I've ever laid eyes on....so I lol'd at Kathy Griffen's comment - but had to disagree about that whole "cute" part :p

Anyway- I agree that political correctness has gotten out of hand. People get offened. Always have and always will - censoring inane stuff like this is bullsh*t.

[SuzeQuze]

Well, normal people know that but try explaining it to the Catholic League! I guess they just need to let us know that they still exist in all of their outdated, obsolete, holy glory.

Hate it. It's so simple, laugh or don't laugh, but such comments are not to be taken seriously. Der. But they have to get their knickers bunched about it.

[The Catdancer]

Someone on her forum said something to this extend:"So Jesus got beaten, tortured, His hands were nailed to a cross, His legs were broken but Kathy Griffin pushed Him over the edge.... Gimme a break". I thought that was pretty funny.

[JazmenFlowers]

yeah, it was all over Showbiz Tonight, etc. - I think it's ridiculous. she even said in her statement that she was "joking" -

saw this in an article on Kathy Griffin :lol:

"a group of college students in Hawaii, sitting around voraciously reading the news, "got a giggle," as 20-year-old Carlos Uretta puts it, out of the controversy. So they did what any atheist-minded group of 21st-century college students would do: they registered suckitjesus.com as a domain name and, a few days later, put up a petition in support of Kathy Griffin, which now has more than 2,500 signatures. "We got an e-mail from someone in Italy, and we thought—really? People are concerned about this in Italy?"

[danax6]

^Wow, I'm impressed. :shocked:
