Michigan Avenue cover
Griffin appears on the cover of the December 2009/January 2010 issue of Michigan Avenue magazine. She talks about A-listers.
When I look at someone like Megan Fox, I think, OK, have at it, honey. Enjoy it. But what you have does go away. I’m all about the old-school people that just have really learned a lot, survived a lot. To me, the real A-lister is going to be at that table in 20 years, 30 years. It’s probably not the Maxim Hot 100 Girl of this year. It’s Jerry Springer, who could buy and sell the Hancock building. I’m telling you, there’s a secret society of people who are richer than anybody on the Forbes list.

Wins Grammy
Kathy Griffins wins Grammy for Best Comedy Album for Calm Down Gurrl.
The title came to me just looking at everything going on this year — all kinds of nonsense in the news and political weirdness and celebrities not being able to control themselves. I found myself hollering back at my TV, “Calm down, gurrl,” whether it was to a government official or a celebrity, male or female, young or old. “Calm down” is actually a terrible thing to say to us women when we’re upset.
