D-List Diva

Her Bravo celebreality show may be called Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List, but the star is this close to becoming one of those A-listers whose every nip, slip, home foreclosure, and shoplifting spree is followed by hungry celebmongers worldwide. Either way, Kathy Griffin is most definitely in a class by herself. Her brand of potty-mouthed, celeb-slamming humor is unique. Not only does she actually admit to her plastic surgery (but don’t call her Joan Rivers) and roll with a motley crew that often includes her elderly mother, but also she's dated arguably one of the biggest geeks this side of planet Nerd, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak. Whether or not she wants the fame — because, come on, she really does — Griffin is certainly a star in Hollywood... Florida. This Wednesday she’ll take the Hard Rock stage and pray you’ll like her, you’ll really like her. Tickets start at $47.
