Why Sarah Palin Needs Levi Johnston
1:38AM Brian Moylan | The PR push for Johnston’s article in Vanity Fair started yesterday and people are already hating America’s babydaddy and rooting for Sarah Palin. But her reality-television-turned-politics spectacle was getting stale and nothing reinvigorates an aging soap like a good rivalry. More »

Three People Who Speak Before They Think, Make Our Job Easier
1:56AM Brian Moylan | Hollywood’s irascible uncle Rupert Everett has flew off the handle again, this time saying that Michael Jackson was a “freak” and better off dead. He’s just one of our favourite people who can’t be tamed by a publicist. More »
Any Old Wacko Now Eligible For $2 Million Book Deal
7:43AM Defamer Hollywood | The publishing industry is led by experienced professionals with deep knowledge of literary appeal. So if they say Kathy Griffin deserves a $US2 million book deal, who are you, the public, to argue? More »
Griffin Vs. Clark: Dicks A-Plenty On New Year’s Eve
2:30AM Seth | We hope your NYE was as joyous, wasted, and overstuffed as ours was, and your First Hangover of 2009—which felt like a tiny monkey putting up drywall inside our skull—has abated. More »
Surviving ‘Rosie Live’ And Other 2008 Memories: A Kathy Griffin Fireside Chat
2:25AM Kyle Buchanan | Kathy Griffin isn’t just a frequent subject of our fair site—she’s also a Defamer reader. And so, who better for us to interview to help make sense of the crazy Hollywood year that was 2008?
Kathy Griffin/Clay Aiken Encounter Leaves One Wounded
9:03AM Kyle Buchanan | When Hollywood’s best and brightest finally look for signs leading up to today’s stripper-consuming, Dark Lord-producing Pop Cultural Doomsday, we have a feeling they’ll find a trail of dark psychic energy leading all the way back to the day before Thanksgiving, when NBC aired a televised ritual of evil incantations known as Rosie Live! It was here that the stage was no doubt set for our destruction, and accordingly, comedienne Kathy Griffin adopted a “what the hell” attitude and attempted to mend fences with longtime foil Clay Aiken backstage. Sadly, even the impending end of the world couldn’t produce warm feelings from Aiken: More »
Knowledge That David Archuleta Reads Defamer Makes Life Worth Living
5:58AM Seth | Finally coming out to the world as a David Archuleta fan has made a huge difference in our day to day lives—we just feel lighter and happier, as if we can finally start being the real us, instead of keeping up some ridiculous charade of what society expects a grown man living in Silver Lake to have on his iPod. But never, in our wildest Archie-loving dreams, did it ever occur to us that he might actually…know we exist. More »
Kathy Griffin On Elisabeth Hasselbeck: ‘She Is A Fucking ‘Survivor’ Reject’
7:05AM Seth | Despite Bravo’s claims to the contrary, Kathy Griffin is still insisting that she hasn’t yet signed with them for another season of My Life on the D-List, saying in a Windy City Times interview that she’s been unsuccessful in extracting “tens more dollars” from the “cheap bastards.” With dreary business gotten out of the way, they then moved on to juicier matters, allowing Griffin to do what she does best—tear mercilessly into America’s most beloved easy targets. What better place to start, then, than the cracked braintrust holding court at The View, predominated lately by “fucking Survivor reject” Elisabeth Hasselbeck? More »
8:20AM Kyle Buchanan | Not So Fast, Kath: In response to our post today about the Page Six rumour that Kathy Griffin would be taking My Life on the D-List to another channel, Bravo released to us this statement: “That’s surprising since we’ve picked her up for another season of her series.” Padma, Rachel, Housewives, we see you sneaking toward that door. Don’t even think about it! [Bravo] More »
