Kathy Griffin sees her “banging” body as an until-recently undiscovered treasure. While I’m all for taking pride in one’s body, Griffin seems a little over-the-top, Paris Hilton-style in love with hers. Especially for a woman who’s had as much cosmetic surgery as Griffin has. She claims she’s “always had a banging bikini body,” but several years ago she went on Oprah to talk about her cosmetic surgery upgrades, which she said included a lot of liposuction. So how are we defining “always” here?
Griffin recently did a bikini spread for OK!, and compares the public discovering her bod at the age of 48 to the discovery of “Britain’s Got Talent” phenom Susan Boyle.
Kathy Griffin says it was worth the wait to see her bikini bod.
“The internets are a-blazed! I’ve always had a banging bikini body and I just now decided to reveal it at 48,” the comic told Usmagazine.com at the GLAAD Awards in L.A. Friday night.
“I am like the Susan Boyle of bikini bodies,” she joked, comparing herself to the 47-year-old, never-been-kissed Britain’s Got Talent sensation.
Griffin — who normally mocks the famous — had nothing mean to say about Boyle.
“I think she should get a slight eyebrow makeover — like a manscape — but nothing else,” Griffin advised. “I love her almost exactly the way she is.”
Griffin’s been hanging with new BFF Paris Hilton — currently dating Lauren Conrad’s ex, Doug Reinhardt.
“We have a lot in common and have a lot to talk about, and soon you will probably be see me banging someone from The Hills!” she said. “With this body, how could I not?”

Body confidence is good. Body whatever-narcissistic-disease-Paris-Hilton-has is not. Somehow anyone talking about how hot they think they are really rubs me the wrong way. I can be a devoted fan, but if someone waxes on about how attractive they think they are, I’m out. Actually, I don’t think the Paris link should be totally discounted here. Kathy and Paris have been spending a lot of time together lately. I think that would either drive a person to commit mass acts of violence, or you’d adapt and get a super-inflated ego too. Really, all things that grate on your nerves can be traced back to Paris. If you try hard enough.

Bragging on the body isn’t allowed if you’ve paid to have it beautified. Learn the rules, sweetheart.

Each photograph is the same pose with minor variations.

I think she’s fabulous! 48…wow! She’s worked so damn hard to be where she is now. You don’t get a body like that from eating chocolate in the middle of the night. (note to self…) Kathy is a brilliant woman who never got the credit she deserved because she didn’t look right by hollywood standards. If you are a fan, you know this whole thing is being said with a good dose of tongue and cheek humor.

I really love Kathy and her sense of humor. I totally get it and she’s totally kidding even though she does have a fantastic body.

I’m also inclined towards thinking she is kidding. It’s her shtick. Though I can easily see how someone unfamiliar w/ her comedy would think otherwise, and I don’t mean that in a condescending way either, as this combined with her already known sensitivities about her appearance very much lend themselves toward this being a totally believable and cocky sounding claim. Regardless though, I absolutely love her, her stand up is painfully hilarious!

I love her and I think she’s totally kidding.

Fair enough. When I read it over, I can see how – without being able to hear Kathy’s tone – it can be interpreted both ways. I think her tone is really important to getting her humor; more so than other comedians.

LOVE her and yes, she’s definitely joking.

Kathy is definitely a double bagger for sure. That face is why she’s single.

She looks good and is obviously kidding (in my head I can hear her doing her “This isn’t serious, I’m just being over the top!” voice).
She annoys me…but this isn’t so bad.

kathy’s sense of humor is often misinterpreted – she’s CLEARLY kidding. i really don’t think her ego’s that huge, she’s goofing around.
surgery or just working out, i think she looks fantastic! she’s almost fifty!

Thunder thighs!?
What is she supposed to have, two twigs for the upper part of her leg? *sigh* Some people never fail to amaze me….

Dude get a dictionary and look up sarcasm. You know that she is kidding right? Or is this written by someone who has never watched her show or standup?
