Kathy's Balls Coming 4 U!

From thewrap.com:

Bravo will premiere a new Kathy Griffin stand-up special next month and use it to launch the second season of "Tabatha's Salon Takeover."

"Kathy Griffin: Balls of Steel," Griffin's seventh comedy showcase for Bravo, will bow Tuesday, Nov 3 at 9 p.m. It will be followed by the return of "Takeover."

Among the topics tackled by the acid-tongued comedienne: Jon and Kate Gosselin, Miley Cyrus, Levi Johnston, Britney Spears and Oprah Winfrey's interview with Whitney Houston.

Griffin, who also stars in Bravo's Emmy-winning "My Life on the D-List," will also explain the status of her relationship with Barbara Walters.

"Barbara Walters does not like me, but like 'Brokeback Mountain,' I cannot quit her," Griffin quipped.

Griffin's special is from RickMill Prods. Griffin, Kimber Rickabaugh and Paul Miller are the executive producers. 

Kathy on The View! (from Friday)

Kathy on The View with Kate! (Where was Barbara?? Weird!)

Kathy on Tyra Today!

I'm not sure why I didn't know- but for some reason Jesus had me turn on the TV and switch to Tyra- and low and behold Kathy's on!  It looks like she'll be on for the whole hour- so if it's already to late to catch today hopefully some Youtube saint will post it soon! 

(The shot above is old, but this episode is new- she's pimpin' the book y'all!)

This Just In:

Kathy is gonna face off with Kate Gosselin! This must be Barbara Walters way of retaliation! But- on this Friday's "The View" when Kathy guest hosts: Kate the Mom of the unfortunate 8 will be a guest!!

FLAMES!

The TV will explode with . . . hopefully comedy . . . but definitely tension! Can't miss!

On Jimmy Kimmel on Wed. the 9th

Get your calendars back out! and that big Sharpie!

Kathy will be on Jimmy Kimmel's show on Wednesday night (the 9th) and I believe she'll be doing a spoof on parents of the year Jon & Kate. Those tummy tuck scars are grossing me out even though they're just marker!

Today on "Tuesday"

Tuesday- the day of her book release- Kathy will be on "The Today Show"- but probably not on the fourth hour with Cliff and Kendall sass-a-likes Kathie Lee and Hoda, that would be too confusing! Make sure to tune in though, I'm sure she'll get to the bottom of why the hell Al Roker is on the Weather Channel every morning.

Kathy on HGTV's Design Star Sunday Night

So- yes! Sunday night September 6th Kathy will be on HGTV's 'Design Star.' And just in case you haven't been watching, or quite possibly have no idea what this show is- let me fill you in. I know all about it, because I- shamefully- have been watching.

'Design Star' is basically HGTV's 'Project Runway,' or it would be the bastard child of 'The Next Food Network Star' and Bravo's 'Top Design.' Contestants design spaces each week in hopes of having their own makeover show on HGTV next year.

And I'm not sure if tomorrow is the last episode of the season or not, but they are definitely down to the final three. So- if you want to go into the show knowing a little bit of what's gone on- let me boil it down for you.

Over the last two weeks they've axed an annoying Perez Hilton look-a-like and a surprisingly stiff southern blonde. This leaves the final three: Antonio (below- he's working with Kathy!)- he's been called the Tony Soprano of design, a fairly (no offense) boring non-southern blonde lady (not pictured), and the cute gay guy who I think is named Dan (further below).

I feel like the odds are in Antonio's favor as the lady is more boring than sweet mother Martha on Nyquil, and last year's design star winner was a cute gay guy (the host of 'Color Splash.') I could really see either of the guys hosting a show, but can't think of another home makeover host with as much testosterone as Antonio and I believe this makes the show his to lose.

I know this all sounds gayer than words- and oh yeah, it is. But it was airing in the dry spell before 'Project Runway' started up again and now I just gotta see who wins! So check your local listings (think it airs 10/9pm central tomorrow), and it's also on my Comcast OnDemand if you have that kind of service and you miss it.

Oh- on the show each designer is going to be doing a room for a 'celebrity' client, and they are all celebrities- of Kathy's level (the other two are Kelly from 'Saved by the Bell' and Brandon from 'Beverly Hills 90210.')
