When I became a gay, I was issued an Abercrombie faux gym shirt, a copy of The Immaculate Collection and assorted hair products. Accompanied with an affectionate pat on the ass, the International Gay Recruitment Agency (IGRA) sent me out into the world to set forth and conquer our nation’s capitol.

Unfortunately, the shirt has gone to goodwill, the CD is still in its shrinkwrap and the only thing that goes in my hair is the cheapest shampoo they have at Giant. While I’ve decided to eschew a lot of gay culture, one of the aspects I’ve embraced is an undying love for Kathy Griffin.

I’m completely obsessed. Just completely obsessed.

And now she’s preparing for her third comedy special for Bravo, entitled “Kathy Griffin: Strong Black Woman.” The show will air May 9.

What’s there to look foward to this time? Says the press release:

Find out why Kathy was stroking Celine Dion’s hair in a backstage
greenroom, the ongoing battle against Steven Spielberg and Dakota Fanning,
and the real reason why Paula Abdul is always running late for red carpet
events. Grab your best gay and tune in to everyone’s favorite D-lister to
hear for yourself what everyone will be gossiping about the
next day.Â

Get excited, people.

Mick Jagger, sitcom star.

In all honestly, this show sounds kind of amazing. A comedy 24! I hope it gets picked up. (Mick Jagger? How can it not?)
