Divorce on the D-list She's loud, she's crass, she has no class. So why am I so broken up about Kathy Griffin's breakup? By Curtis Sittenfeld [2005-11-22]

• Maybe Kathy Needs an Upgrade

  One has to wonder if Kathy Griffin is moving up the star ladder. Is she really only a D-lister? Seems like she's moving up to the C-list now. Her career is coming along, and who knows, maybe she'll really make it. I can see her easily hosting a talk show and being a blast in the Joan Rivers mold. When Conan O'Brien moves to the Tonight Show, she should definitely be considered for the 12:30 am slot.

  This is all speculation but maybe Kathy feels that if she's moving up professionally she needs to marry up romantically.

  Is this not all too common among male stars? When they were nobodies they hooked up with nobodies. Who else would pay attention to them. Then they get a little famous and suddenly they need to upgrade to a more appealing partner.

  Another thought is that "bad-boy"-aholics never ever get over the addiction. The addiction is really to excitement. For all of Matt's great qualities, he seems a bit dull. Kathy appears to be an energy glutton...manic to the extreme. Maybe she needs someone with more voltage...someone who can challenge her in a way that super nice Matt can't or won't.

  Does Kathy realize that not many men would put up with her quirks the way Matt has. I remember how stunned I was when they showed her driving the car and Matt sitting in the passenger seat. Kathy apparently needs to be so in control at all times that she always insists on driving. How many men would put up with that...0.0001%...and Matt is one of them.

  Kathy, what are you doing?
