Kathy Griffin Exits Fashion Police: What’s Next?
Kathy Griffin has always insisted she picks on people that have it coming, and she certainly doesn’t kick em’ when they’re down. That philosophy, along with her non-joke-telling comedic format made me question her place on Fashion Police from the start. The show warrants short sound bites and old-school joke telling, which is a dead art among many of today’s top comics. In fact, Joan Rivers might have been the last of that breed. And when you’re behind-the-scenes writers are providing material for a NON-comic that can’t self-edit, you’re left with the Guiliana Rancic/Zendaya mess. In defense of Guiliana, the “You’re not Joan Rivers” comments are unwarranted, mostly because Joan herself was often embroiled in similar drama. The difference of course, is that Joan had a built in, very large fan base that was always willing to forget or forgive, and Guiliana doesn’t. If I produced this show, I’d sack the writers and refresh the format with a classic left-of-center choice like Gilbert Gottfried and then fight like hell for Tim Gunn. Read Griffin’s official statement below.

Shaprece Performs at The Hotel Cafe: An Unforgettable Event
It’s difficult to define Shaprece’s sound because she defies boundaries. The up-and-coming Seattle artist graced The Hotel Cafe with her smooth vocals and groovy vibe, against the bold backdrop of an electric cello and ambient electronics, courtesy of Phillip Peterson and IG88, respectively. Her style feels both plotted yet experimental, effortlessly moving between each song in such an enchanting fashion, you might feel as if you’re lost in space. In fact, she sings each lyric with such ease, it’s easy to forget the force of its meaning. Catch her on tour, you won’t regret it.
Kathy Griffin Weighs in on Guiliana Rancic Controversy
Kathy Griffin weighed in on the Guiliana Rancic controversy, and her take is far more classy than that of her cohort, Kelly Osbourne. Instead of trying to punch her way out of a paper bag with an angry twitter rant, Griffin gave an educated answer, explaining that Rancic should refrain from using joke writers, given that she already has enough inside content from being on the red carpet itself. She also said she nixed a “whore score,” segment, calling it “simply the lowest hanging fruit.”
Hillary Clinton Answers “Emailgate” — Defensive & Ridiculous
Hillary Clinton is still her own worst enemy, and until she grasps how to eloquently assert her opinion while under fire, she can’t be President. She’s taken on her email controversy with a long-winded, defensive explanation of her antics, and it’s just as stale and holier-than-thou as expected. It’s as if she’s too exhausted to be bothered by this debacle, and while that is understandable, it’s not the behavior of someone ready to run for office. Her team has since released a tiresome, long memo that the public will predictably ignore given that it’s long and voters don’t like to read.
The Clintons have always exuded elitism, which is welcome when it’s President Bill Clinton who compensates with his iconic oratory skills, but Hilary fails in that field. Watch her press conference below,and decide for yourself how she’ll fare when the heat turns up. This should have been squashed in two seconds, but she bungled it brilliantly.
Quote of the Day: Robin Wright on Sean Penn in Vanity Fair
“I’m not in the business of talking about what ‘isn’t. My eyes are set forward and I’ve never been happier. I have too much respect for Sean and our two extraordinary children to sell our past joys and woes for public consumption and fodder. I believe we were together not only to have our beautiful children but to learn how to love … for the next time around, the right way. ” Robin Wright on her marriage to Sean Penn.
Kendrick Lamar Releases Cover Art
With one of the most hotly-anticipated upcoming albums, Kendrick Lamar is playing up the pressure as any artistic genius would — slow, calculated, and crafty. He posted the cover art for his new album on instagram, with a caption that reads “Don’t all dogs go to heaven? Don’t Gangsta’s boogie? Do owl shit stank? Lions, Tigers & Bears. But TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY. Its the American dream nigga….” – lil Homie. The title is a play on Harper Lee’s 1960 novel ‘To Kill A Mockingbird.’ He’ll release his third studio album on March 23.
Elizabeth Hurley on WWHL: Talks Hugh Grant
After her current “best friend” and former flame of 13 years exposed intimate details about their fizzled sex life, it was Liz Hurley’s turn to tell her side of her failed relationship with Hugh Grant, and she took a much classier approach to her answer. Hurley simply said Grant was a little too grumpy for her liking, and although it’s charming in doses, it’s not sustainable 24/7. Watch below as delightfully plays along with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live’s “Plead the Fifth.”
Ciara Debuts “I Bet” Video With Sad Ballet Theme
I’d love to meet the genius who thought up a ballet concept behind Ciara’s “I Bet,” and simply phoned in the idea with point shoes and leg warmers. It pains me to point this out, but perhaps her team could have taken some tips from Kanye West’s epic “Runaway” idea. Either go big, or burn the shoes. And who advised the on-the-floor rowing choreography, and where’s the kayak ? I appreciate her physical head-shake to indicate the “no, no, no” lyrics, though. Because you know . . . those words are really confusing. WATCH BELOW, and try not to cringe when you get to the part where she ripped off Beyonce.
