Kathy Griffin's Newest Palin to Pounce On? Willow, 16

By Rob Shuter Posted Jan 5th 2011 04:41AM

You would think that after the backlash Kathy Griffin received for making fun of Bristol Palin's weight, the red-headed comedienne would have learned her lesson. Well, think again. Kathy has her eye set on a new Palin to make fun off. "I think it's Willow's year to go down," Griffin snarked to The Hollywood Reporter. "In 2011, I want to offend a new Palin."

With her being only 16, Willow would seem to be a target fraught with disadvantages, but that doesn't matter to Kathy.

"[She] genuinely can't stand any of the Palin family," a friend of Kathy's tells me. "Yet, the real reason she won't leave them alone is she loves all the headlines she gets whenever she attacks them."

What would it take to pry Kathy's claws from the Palin family? My source thinks that if people would just doggone stop caring about the Palins, then Kathy would be the first to move on and "find another victim."

Sure, Kathy does seem to change her target as often as Sarah winks to her fans, but what makes the Palin family different from the other celebrities she drills is that they're. Not. Going. Anywhere.

"No one is more surprised than Kathy that we still care about this family," an insider tells me. "For a while it was Jessica Simpson's weight, Heidi Montag's plastic surgery or 'The Real Housewives' that had us all buzzing. But they have all come and gone."

Let's face it folks, the Palins are in the news daily, and Kathy is way too smart a woman to miss an opportunity to cause trouble. So watch out Willow, sources tell me that what Kathy has planned for you will make the comments about your older sister look like poetry.

Why is it all about looks with the shallow Palin lovers?

By franko

Highest Rank Vote down Vote up Report this

Yea,you're right, but it doesn't appear to have helped this monster look alike. There's not enough plastic in this world to make this ugly duckling look good !!

By Michelle

Totally agree with your first sentence. No talent, not even funny. She's a loser desperate to be noticed!

By Penny S. Dove

Griffins outer cosmetics hasn't helped any. Kathy Griffin should start working on her insides, it may do a lot more good.

By New York

Look, Kathy can be very funny to certain audiences. The thing I don't like is when she attacks children for no reason. That is going too far. She is all about shock value. The more negative reviews she gets, she feels she has done her job. I do think that sometimes Kathy should listen to her mother when she tells her not to be so nasty & this is one of them.

By KADEN

kathy has had so much surgery she almost died from it, to bad she lived , even our troops booed her when she attacked the palins. she needs to help her old mother out there still a working gal at her age

By Misty

I can't stand Kathy Griffin. She's so ugly and has no room to make fun of anyone. There's nothing funny about her either. I agree. She needs to go away.

By James

kathy is so ugly she needs a papper bag to hide her looks PLEASE someone give her one so she can hide her looks.

By kimarkpita

You want kathy to QUIT knocking the Palins??? I'm not a fan of Kathy...but even less of the Palins and If Kathy were to stop Now that would be a "palin move"....sarah plastered herself all over the Media and brought her family with her....now she has to pay the consequensce of sacraficeing her family like that. Kathy can't Stop now or she would be a quitter like Sarah is.....

By Sue Who

Again it is the ugly liberals and I do say ugly, Kathy is so ugly she is enough to laugh at without the jokes!!

By DON

Right on, Misty! I couldn't agree more. She's about as funny as STD. Never had one, but can imagine after watching this bimbo castigate someone she hates mainly because of politics.

By doomonyou

I can't stand Willow Palin. She's so ugly and has no room to make fun of anyone. There's nothing funny about her either. I agree. She needs to go away.

By allmywickedsins

I know how to make her go away. Change channels if you don't want to watch her. That simple.

By Smitty

Kathy is no better than the kids that are being arrested and jailed for bullying other children. This is a sad time when the media condones her picking on a vulnerable 16 year old. She should be slapped with a warrant.

By Sue

Well said.

By pepper

You got that right! If Willow was my kid I would have her in court so fast she wouldn't pick on or bully anyone again.

By Cindy V

I agree with "Smitty". Kathy Griffin is no better than the kids that are being arrested and jailed for bullying other children. This is a sad time when the media condones her picking on a vulnerable 16 year old. She should be slapped with a warrant. Better yet, she should be FIRED like many others have been for making poor choices!

By Michael

Slapped with a 2 X 4!

By deedee

I agree with you about Kathy . she is not funny and surely not that good looking. Is this the only way she can get her name in the papers or onTV is to go after 16 Y/O kids. For shame on you horse face. (Katy)

By Quickshotgal

Everything is media driven! It is like pouring gas on a fire. Of course everyone knows that the media is in the hip pocket of the democrats. So this makes perfect sense that the Palin's would be, and continue to be attacked and that the media would milk it for as long as they could. On the other hand, it is sad that a grown woman has to bully someone's children to make money and try to get ahead. Can't stand people who step on others to make themselves feel elevated above them.
