Kathy Griffin: 'A Dream Come True' When Sarah Palin Fought Back

Kathy Griffin called to talk about her much-discussed cameo on 'Glee,' but before she could jump into it, the comedienne squealed, "Cher just texted me!" The showbiz icon was texting Kathy to say "break a leg" during her Broadway show and to not "embarrass me in front of all those folks" when she comes to see her. Cher! Doesn't get more A-list than that. Kathy revealed that she met Cher through her longtime pal Rosie O'Donnell, who has become something of a celebrity matchmaker, hooking up one celeb to another.
"Rosie introduced me to Bette Midler and one day called me and invited me to meet Cher," Kathy said. "I didn't want to ask for a picture. Even this big mouth knows when to shut up. But Rosie said Cher wants your number and then she called me."
But even bigger than being new best friends with Cher, Kathy debuted on 'Glee' Tuesday night, playing a Sarah Palin-esque regionals judge. "Don't you dare imply it's Sarah Palin," Kathy joked. "Although I'm sure Sarah will have the girls over tonight and watch the show with a bottle of vodka."
And how did Kathy feel when Sarah finally cracked and
fought back last week, calling the comedian a "50-year-old bully"?

"It was a dream come true," Kathy told me. "I love these celebs that still don't get it. I rolled out the red carpet, and she walked right into my act. I added two shows to my Broadway schedule because of her. I laughed when she told me to come to Alaska. Didn't she know I have not only been to Alaska, I brought Levi Johnston and went to her house, knocked on her door and left her a note?"
Kathy does admit, however, she never did get to meet the former governor. "I would wear a bullet proof vest and underpants. She would see me as a mouse. I would tell her it's nice to meet you, my name is Tina Fey."
Kathy, who came under fire for saying she was going to go after Palin's 16-year-old daughter next, told me, "When 16-year-old Willow goes on Facebook and uses the f-words, which I believe can lead to the loss of life, expect to hear from me. She's 16 and using f-words is wrong. Where did you learn it?"
Contrary to rumors out there, Kathy isn't ending her hit Bravo show 'My Life on The D-list' because of all those housewives, but rather she wanted to do something different. "I'm doing four stand-up specials in one year. That has never been done before. They haven't seen my show. My first one is called '50 and Not Pregnant.'"

Kathy Griffin really needs to get a life already. Her attacks on the Palins are really getting old. Now she critizes Willow for using the f work? Like Griffin herself never uses the f word?! Everyone uses the f word at times. Get a life Griffin!

You're an idiot.... Kathy is attacking because the whole damn family is dysfunctional and pyscho. I love it when someone puts the Palin's in their places because Sarah is dumber than a box of rocks, Bristol is claiming abstinence AFTER being a unwedded mother, and Willow calls a person a fa99ot on FB because she cant get her way...Open your eyes, you sheep!!
prefer to have hers ended!!!!!
NO, J you're the idiot...Kathy Griffin is a good for nothing sloppy old b**ch who gets her rocks off making fun of people she knows won't fight back...what a coward..and she's not funny..and she's sure as hell not "sexy" although the way she talks and acts you would think she most definately thinks that about herself.
like Dame Edna...my guess is she will fail on Broadway.
you are right, J - not to mention Palins son was caught cutting brake lines on school buses
Kathy gats paid BIG BUCKS for her actions while whatsherface Palin is still a teeniebopper... YOU need to get a life...
Kathy is a pig
This is American and Kathy can trash anyone she wants. She probably would not have jumped on the Palins if the children did not cuss like sailors and behave like sailors on shore leave. And they had to learn their behavior somewhere. My guess, is Sarah ( the real bully) Palin....
The "f" word Palin used is a derogatory word for homosexuals. THAT is why Kathy has a problem with the girl.
:You go Kathy...and rip those PALIN's a new A-hole...Can't stand the entire 43 of them.....they breed like roaches

Kathy is a worm. I wouldn't waste five cents to go see her and hope that her show is a flop. I don't like Sarah Palin, she's not my cup of tea but Kathy Griffin is a loser, big time. Just don't get how she's gotten this far.
