COUNTDOWN TO SEASON FOUR: LAUNCH DATE :: TV NEWS

Time to season four: . We are pleased to let you know that season 4 of The D-List has been officially slated to launch the night of Thursday June 12th at 9pm EDT. Look for BRAVO to make the hours leading up to the show a major event so get your tapes/DVDs ready.

Some special highlights, in addition to the wedding Kathy legally "ministered", are as follows: A show at Walter Reed Army hospital in D.C, Steve Wozniak's help in opening the Oprah inspired "Kathy Griffin Leadership Academy" in rural Mexico, and Kathy recording a comedy CD expressly for the purpose of trying to get a GRAMMY nomination (yep).

In addition, as previously announced here, Kathy performed on an all gay flight from San Francisco to Sydney while doing stand up on the airplane's PA system, with shirts flying. But there is even more to look forward to. How about an afternoon spent with Britney Spears' boytoy Adnan Ghalib. Enough? Well there is more. And you will all see it starting in June exclusively on Bravo. Look for further details and fun as we get closer.

SURPRISE GLAAD AWARD WIN :: NEWSBLAST

As you have read here, Kathy is on a quest to win a Grammy, a story which will play out during the entire new season of The D-List. However, ironically, the GLAAD awards seem to have beaten us to the punch.

Team Griffin walked the red carpet with Kathy for the first time in history as Kathy won a surprise GLAAD award at the 19th GLAAD Media Awards show. Described by Tiffany as a very surreal experience, Kathy brought out her mom to open the show as a surprise guest. All involved were totally shocked when they were later announced as the Outstanding Reality Series winner. Kathy was not expecting to win at all (press release).

Further adding to the surprises was an announcement from Bravo that they are picking up and airing the awards show, date and time to be announced. And did we mention we've got exclusive pictures of the event.
