If you can get BBC America on cable, I urge you to check out this show. It is so trashy and over-the-top that it's my weekly "guilty pleasure." It's on at 10pm on Sundays and makes the bedroom romps on Grey's Anatomy seem like kindergarten fodder. It seems to be inspired by Beckham and Posh Spice.

Wonder if we'll get an NFL version from Hollywood in the future--we've certainly had enough sports scandals here to inspire story lines.

Nope I don't get that channel.
But sounds interesting!

My newest addiction is Kathy Griffin, "My Life On The D List."

She's funny, but I don't watch her regularly. There's also a Chelsea Handler who is funny when she's not too "blue."

I think it was last Saturday when the Oxygen network (I think) ran an afternoon of the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. I was mesmerized by the awfulness of this program!!!

Oh her! She's the weirdo who claimed Sly Stallone was the father of her baby and then admitted she lied later after he got all excited and then got all disillusioned. I look at her like a predator. She was trying to trap him into marriage or maintenance. Totally unethical.
Anybody else watch Kathy Griffin?
I started after seeing her stand-up show as a lead-in -something called "Kathy Griffin Strong Black Woman." I think

Oh yes, I totally watch "The D list" and Kathy's comedy specials! We almost went to see her recently when she came to San Diego, but, there were only nosebleed seats left when we found out and decided that we would pass. I used to enjoy Kathy on that series "Suddenly Susan" and am glad to see her career continuing.

Just found out the other day the reason why Kathy and her husband, Matt, almost divorced. Apparently she was on Larry King Live and dropped a bomb that her husband was taking her money to the tune of 72,000.00 dollars! I can see why she has him doing her hair now!

I missed that! I was told that she admitted on Larry King Live that they had divorced!

I'm sorry, the whole seperation/divorce thing was so convoluted I got it turned around. I believe that they seperated, started divorce proceedings, tried couples counceling and finally divorced. Heres the scoop from the Boston Globe:

"Kathy Griffin says ex took her money
July 12, 2006

Kathy Griffin says her 4 1/2-year marriage ended in divorce after she discovered her now ex-husband was taking money from her bank accounts. In an interview on CNN's ``Larry King Live" that aired Monday night, the comedian accused Matt Moline of taking $72,000 over a period of time. ``My ex-husband, without my knowledge, was sneaking into my wallet when I was asleep in the mornings and taking my ATM cards of my own private accounts and withdrawing money," Griffin alleged. ``That money totaled $72,000 . . . over about a year and a half." He ``admitted it and apologized," she said. They went to couples therapy but couldn't ``get beyond the trust issue." In a statement released to CNN, Moline said he was upset about Griffin's comments. ``Since our divorce, I have not made any public comments about my ex-wife or our marriage," he said. ``It saddens me that she would choose to make such accusations at this time. I have no intention of engaging in a public debate over private matters." Griffin and Moline were married in February 2001. She filed for divorce last September, citing irreconcilable differences. They have no children."

Kinda' sad, last I had heard was when I was watching one of Kathy's comedy specials and she said that they had problems and were working them out.

Here's the site:

From here you can go to the D-List Forum as well. Lots of chat about the divorce there!

Thanks you guys.
I had heard as you Susan- separation, reconcilliation, divorce.

I wonder what he was spending the money on? Stomach stapling? Hair transplants?
He seemed very sweet and tolerant of her.
I don't think $72,000 is a lot, considering....
