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.

a warrant for what???? clearly what kathy is doing isnt illegal. sarah palin put her kids in the spotlight if anyone needs to "be slapped with a warrant" its her for child abuse/neglect. she was parading those kids around like trained poodles. its disgraceful. and also not responsible to have an infant bombarded with all the noise and chaos of those rallies. that baby is gonna wind up deaf. poor kid would be better off being raised by the wolves his mother shoots from helicopters.

If she was to attack my 16 year old, i wouldn't need a warrent. I'd find her and kick her a** up and down the street! Protect family first!!!

By michael22wm

She was already beaten severly with an ugly stick.

By DJ

I believe Obama's kids should be off limits too. Sad day in America, when teenagers are being used for jokes!

By Calypso85

I absolutely agree with you - people are so mean. She's a cute 16 year old that hasn't done anything wrong. Look at Kathy's face! How people think she's funny is beyond me.

By Pina

I agree, she should be slapped with a warrant if she plans on trying to rip apart a 16 year old in front of the world.

By gilly

Totally agree, this is a form of bullying and we as adults have to set an example to children. If I were the Palin's I would try to go after her legally.

By PJ

I agree. How would her supporters like it if she trashed their 16 yr. daughter.

By melanie

I totally agree. Kathy Griffin should be slapped with a warrant!

By georgie

I agree... She is sad to make fun of young girls and children. What a untalented loser.

WELL SAID MANY OF US IN THE MILITARY HATE HER, SHE IS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG KIDS, LETS SEND HER A MESSAGE, DO NOT WATCH HER BOYCOTT THE PRODUCTS SHE PROMOTS, CALL THE MANUFACTURER'S OF THE PRODUCTS AND TELL THEM U WILL NOT BUY IF KATHY IS PROMOTING THEM LETS GET THIS PIECE OF TRASH OUT OF THE WAY.

By kathy

I wouldn't mind the Palin's going away but I definitely want Kathy to go away!!! How this tasteless woman makes a living and a good living at what she does,is astounding to me. She is hard to look at and her yelling voice is hard to listen to.

By D

Willow is much prettier than Kathy Griffin. The only reason Griffin is still around is Hollywood “out of touch with reality” folks, keep promoting her tours. Larry David gets her guest spots on his show. I’m surprised she gets any thing at all. She’s just flat out not funny.

By Seasider

You guys are so right...Kathy is a foul mouth...any one who follows those "hollywood" losers can't have much of a mind for sound judgement. This is one hollywood type , simular to the idiots on the view, and in D. C. want to have some say and or control on what and how you think...it's time to stop all of this nonsense.

By tom

who cares what she looks like...shes funny as hell!!

By fred armstrong

the real question is why anyone would care what a no talent like Griffin says,guess she will going after the toddler next

By Dee

The only way she (Kathy Griffin) will go away is if she
is not given the notority.

No matter how many Plastic Surgeries she has,she is
still ugly. It matches her foul mouth.

By harbourcay

Can you imagine the uproar if Glen Beck, O'Rielly, or Limbaugh took on the Presidential children like Griffin has the Palin children. Griffin and Letterman are pedophile enablers who give credence to the abuse of children.

By David

That's a stretch of the imagination if i ever heard one.

By Tony Carlos

Selective memory in action, Harbourcay. Limbaugh already did exactly what you are denying. He attached Chelsy Clinton for being ugly.
Appartently you couldn't be bothered to be offended back then.
