Kathy Griffin's D-List (Midler calls SN)
 

[USA Today, except from article talking about Kathy's new tv season. Maybe we'll hear Stevie on the phone]

When you sit down with Bette Midler, you don't want to waste your time with small talk," says Griffin, who proceeds to ask Midler whether her 1990 hit, Wind Beneath My Wings, is about flatulence.

Griffin also bugs Midler for advice on how she can get her comedy album based on her popular stand-up act, For Your Consideration, a Grammy nod — a request that prompts Midler to phone Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks. (Neither offers much help, but that album, which was eventually nominated, did not win at this year's Grammy Awards.)

My Life on the D-List
 

Did anyone else catch the new episode where Kathy and Bette Midler called up Stevie?? lol that was a great surprise! she was so sweet on the phone :angel:

So I am watching the Kathy Griffin Show and Stevie was mentioned..Kathy is hanging out with Bette Midler and Kathy asked Bette how she can go about winning a Grammy award and who she can call to vote for her and etc. and Bette was like "What about Stevie Nicks? She's won a lot of Grammy's" So Bette calls up Stevie; Kathy and Bette just start chatting with Stevie. Stevie's saying how she's in rehersal's with Fleetwood Mac and starts chatting about Lindsey and her relasionship. Then soon finds out Stevie isnt even in the Grammy's voting thing.

So this is like MY ALL TIME FAV episode...lol

LOL and Stevie said to Kathy "you've SO got my vote!"
and then like you said...come to find out she doesn't even vote!!

How freaking hilarious was that? lol. I was dying. Stevie's like, yeah I don't think I'm a voting member right after she told Kathy, "you so have my vote." What a trip.

That was a great surprise!! I was not expecting that, so when they got out the speaker phone i could not believe it. Stevie, of coarse, was a sweetheart, and Kathy's comments about "Stevie and Lindsey hooking up" were histerical!

I just posted this on the Rumors board hoping I was going to be first - Damn you ledgies - - don't you know that coke ain't cool no more LOL - Totally awesome surprise though

Is there any video of this?

Stevie was pretty funny. I'm too lazy to turn on the tv and actually type the caption while I'm online, but I couldn't really understand what Stevie meant. I don't know if she was talking about the quality of the show she and Lindsey put on or their fights, because it almost sounded like she was saying that sometimes a Fleetwood Mac show is good and sometimes it's not. Of course, I think she intended to say that sometimes she and Lindsey get along and sometimes they don't -- which we all know -- but her words were very disjointed. She promised to get Bette and Kathy tickets to the Fleetwood Mac show.

She said something like, 'You'll have front row center. But Fleetwood Mac is iffy, because the electric thing between me and Lindsey, uh, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's . . . well, it's always good, but sometimes it's like that Scoopy Doo thing you do. Oop!"

Of course, it was hilarious the way Kathy turned that confusing statement around and claimed that Stevie said that she and Lindsey might hook up again. She said she hadn't wanted to ask Stevie about Lindsey, but Stevie just "spilled" spontaneously.

But if she knows about the Scooby Doo impression, Stevie probably really is a fan of Kathy's, like she said she was.

God bless her, Stevie came across every bit as dipsy and kooky as I hoped she would! :laugh:

Yeah, that kinda surprised me that Stevie called Kathy her 'favorite comedienne,' as vulgar as she is (gotta love how she purged after leaving Miss Midler :lol: ). Then again, Kathy and Stevie are united in their cause against Lohan :laugh::laugh::laugh: .

Here's the segment she's in.

The full episode is on youtube

I like how Stevie called Kathy Kathleen. The only other person who calls Kathy by her full name is her mother.

That was fantastic! The things I would do to hang with Bette, Kathy and Stevie! What a hoot that would be.

I'm glad I didn't see this thread yesterday, 'cause I was pleasantly surprised! I played it back and watched it like 3 times last night. Next time I'm in Vegas, I'm finding that fried Twinkie place! :p

was that the "scooby doo" thing Kathy did during her Ann Coulter bit during her "Everyone Can Suck It" show? I didn't put two and two together until just now when you mentioned it LOL I just thought Stevie was randomly referencing Scooby Doo!!

Stevie & Bette Midler on Kathy Griffin
 

If anyone here hasn't heard, tune in to the premiere 1st episode for this seasons, "Kathy Griffin: My life on the D-list" She flies to Vegas to see Bette Midler show, "The Showgirl Must Go On", and after Bette's performance, during a private dinner, Kathy asks Bette some advice on how to react to a Grammy win, so Bette calls Stevie! They talk aloud on speaker phone....I saw it last nite...It blew me away!

Besides being a long time friend, Stevie has been a Bette Midler fan since the 70's.
I have a Wild Heart Interview of her on the road/tour for WH, and she told the Interviewer she never goes on tour w/out her copy of the film, "The Rose"
LOVE IT!

It's funny because Kathy had joked with Anderson Cooper about that. He asked her what she liked to be called, comedian or comedienne and she told him that "comedienne" was sexist and pretended to be insulted that he said it. So, Stevie must have seen that and made a point of saying that Kathy was a comedienne because she's a "lady".

Summary from Yahoo (taken from television without pity)

http://tv.yahoo.com/kathy-griffin-my...e/209212/recap


Kathy brings up the Grammy award. Bette tells her she can't vote for her because she's not in the Academy. Bette offers to get Stevie Nicks on the phone. Kathy is extravagantly disbelieving that anyone can just pick up the phone and call Stevie Nicks. She's another one; her names just run together into one word: "Hello, Stevienicks!" calls Kathy. Stevienicks sounds friendly enough on the phone and is sure to get in a plug for Fleetwood Mac, who are apparently together again for the moment. However, Stevienicks encourages Bette and Kathy (and us, I guess) to see the show early in the tour, because there's a chance she'll hook up with Lindsey Buckingham out on the road, and you know how that goes. Kathy is delighted to be getting celebrity dirt she didn't even have to dig for. Stevienicks promises Kathy that she's got her Grammy vote, because she is her favorite comedienne. After Stevienicks explains that a comedienne is a lady comedian, Kathy gloats about being called a "lady". Bette is unconvinced. Then Stevienicks admits that she's not a voting member anyway and Kathy is understandably frustrated. Kathy tells Bette that Stevienicks is a wiccan, and quickly gets carried away with making things up about Stevienicks's coven.

Wow, that actually is not what Stevie was referring to. That was inferred by Kathy. Obviously, this reviewer got their wires crossed.

And even Kathy just said it to be funny. She didn't think Stevie said that.

Kathy Griffin & Bette Midler phone Stevie Nicks
 

If anybody watches Kathy Griffin-My Life on the D-List, the season premiere last night had Bette Midler calling Stevie Nicks so that Kathy could ask her if she would vote for her if she was nominated for a grammy for best comedy album. LOL It was short but pretty funny! It re-airs on the Bravo channel several times this week! Check it out if you're interested.

Already posted. Twice.

Yeah, I know now. Sorry for posting again! Did anyone notice that Kathy hanged up on Stevie because she couldn't help her. LOL

I KNOW!!! what a b*tch!

I guess you don't watch the show much? The whole point of the series is Kathy being a low level celebrity, and desperately trying to climb up ranks. If someone can't bolster her fame, she just bypasses them. It's all a big joke at this point, obviously Kathy has carved herself quite a solid footing as a very respected and famous comedian. No Stevie fans should be offended... Kathy would sh!t on her Father's grave if it'd get her an ounce of publicity :laugh: . Honestly, I thought she was EXTREMELY light on Stevie... she didn't make fun of her for being a rambling, nonsensical kook, or a has been dried up former drug addict. For Kathy, she was absolutely reverent of La Nicks :thumbsup: .

These shows are so scripted. It's no different (no more genuine) than Stevie making a guest appearance on Seinfeld and having George Costanza hang up on her.

:shrug:

Wasn't that Stevie's Marty (the Asian man that escorts her down the stage during the Edge Walk) Kathy called in to the room? Looked just like him, and maybe since Stevie isn't touring solo he's working with Bette in Vegas?

I stayed up until 2 a.m to watch it tonight and it was so funny! I love Kathy :) Oh I loved the part when Kathy hangs up and was like you know Stevie is a wiccan and Bette was like no she's not, she's an angel and you are the witch! Haha, that was great! Thanks for the heads up everyone!

Bette said he used to be Fleetwood Mac's tour manager or something like that, so you're probably right :) .

Oh, I know. That's another reason why no Stevie fan should get wound up about Kathy "hanging up" on Stevie. It was probably just edited to look like she hung up on her anyway. I know reality TV is trash, but I've always enjoyed My Life On The D-List anyway :D .

Yeah, you're right. I recognized him too. I'm positive of it because at the show in Youngstown, Marty spilled all of the water out of a boot filled with flowers and she yelled, "Marty!" right in front of me lol.

They were talking about Tom a tour manager or something for Fleetwood Mac and Bette, so I guess they have multiple personnel people in common. Bette, Stevie and Kathy, probably.

Michele

I watch the show all the time..
Kathy is a b*tch to everyone that can't help her win her Grammy/Emmy.
I wasn't offended, just joking.
guess my jokes don't go over as well as Kathy's lol

Gotcha! :thumbsup: It's so hard to tell someone's tone online, seems I'm always guessing it wrong :p .

You're right, Kathy can be kinda evil. I can imagine that's why her assistant Jessica is no longer with her. Kathy seems like she can be an absolute riot, but also a demanding, fake, social climbing bitch lol. Oh well, I think pretty much all celebs are that way... Kathy just doesn't care to even attempt to hide it like most :laugh: .

No kidding. That looked delish.

Yeah, and Stevie and Madonna share Liz Rosenberg as a publicist. Just look at how many people in Stevie's/Fleetwood Mac's backing bands have worked for scores of other artists too. I think Hollywood is a much smaller world than most of us probably realize.

I love Kathy.... she makes me laugh a lot... period...

Yeah, then Bette Midler says, "Stevie, you don't know Kathy. She's a woman but she's no lady." lol.

I can sooooo see us pulling through there in some covertible and ordering many of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure would beat the hell out of the $25 ice cream parfaits :cool:
