Any Publicity?
It’s long been an adage that any publicity is good publicity, which is why I have to wonder if Kathy Griffin’s pointedly reading the ad taken about her Emmy speech from a Tennessee theater group didn’t serve to boost interest in other businesses in the town in question - like Pigeon Forge cabin rentals for example - just as the ad itself probably did what Pigeon Forge’s troupe (which spent 90k on the ad which was printed in USA Today) didn’t intend and call more attention to Ms. Griffin’s various concerts and Bravo tv specials.
I have a love/hate relationship with Kathy Griffin. I can never decide if her act is funny or not. Mostly, I think it is, and I think she serves a vital purpose when she does her shameless send-ups of pop-culture divas and aging actors. Sometimes, though, she just annoys me, and I’m not sure why.
I do know this: in my head, Tennessee is now inexorably linked to Kathy Griffin.

I don’t particularly enjoy Kathy Griffin, because she labels herself as being on the “D” list, and focuses on that instead of getting out there and doing the auditions to get the parts to get her the better treatment. “Wah, I’m not as popular, but instead of doing anything about it, I shall just whine and make fun of the more successful.” It’s a living, and a niche, but if she doesn’t want it, the only one stopping her from moving upwards and/or onwards is her. ;P
And I think her neck is too bulky. I think the same of Jennifer Aniston. I’m so judgemental lately! =O
