Kathy Griffin and Andy Cohen are embroiled in feud that has left longtime fans of both stars shocked.
The drama erupted at the end of last week, when Cohen quipped that he didn’t know who Griffin was, which led the comedian to fire back, alleging Cohen asked her to do cocaine before appearing on his talk show, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. (Cohen denied the accusation.)
Now, a source tells People that Griffin didn’t always see eye-to-eye with Cohen during their time working together at Bravo.

Comedian Billy Eichner has been making a name for himself in New York City for quite some time. A 2005 New York Times article called his late night fake talk show Creation Nation co-starring Robin Taylor "a theatrical phenomenon", and with subsequent appearances on Bravo's A-List Awards and The Showbiz Show with David Spade, Billy has kept bringing the funny ever since.
Billy has two shows coming up at Joe's Pub in Manhattan on November 23 and 24th and we recently threw some questions at the jokester to make him bring the funny on command.
1) Rosie, Ellen, Wanda or honorary gay Kathy Griffin? Why?
Ellen, because of the four listed here, she's the one that looks most like a chicken. Second place goes to Jay Leno, who looks like a lesbian. Third place goes to Wanda Sykes, because she's the only black person not in "Precious".
2) Who inspired you to become a comic?...

Kathy Griffin may not love Lindsay Lohan, but she has celebrated lesbians like Melissa Etheridge and Rosie O'Donnell on her successful show, My Life on the D-List. And then, of course, there was the "kiss" she shared with Aubrey O'Day on last year's Bravo's A-List Awards.
And last week, she told Joy Behar she'd vote Suze Orman for president.
Now, she'll play a lesbian activist on a winter episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
TVGuide.com is reporting that Kathy is set to appear on Feb. 10, which was revealed via the show's producer, Neal Baer, on his Twitter.
Although most people know Griffin for her stand-up and comedic roles, she has played more serious parts (small and large) in shows like ER, The X-Files, Strong Medicine and Privileged.
We don't know much else yet, including what exactly Kathy's character is an activist for and how close she gets with Detective Benson,...

Poor Andy Cohen. Though he tried mightily, the Bravo exec could not coax much realness out Atlanta's Housewives on Thursday night's reunion show. When we last saw NeNe and Kim, they literally had each other in a chokehold over -- it was revealed at the reunion -- rumors started by the axis of Housewives evil: Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer and the Oc's Tamra Barney at April's A-List Awards. Suddenly, the frenemies had mended fences. One can only imagine they hatched a mutually lucrative scheme to release "Tardy for the Party: The Remix" (on which NeNe finally gets autotuned) or consumed enough Patron to induce amnesia over their barnyard epithets. Kandi appeared numb yet shattered just one week after seeing deceased ex fiancé Aj's body. Distracting from her genuine grief was the fact that her glittery eye makeup refused to budge through her tears, and that Kim -- sympathy oozing off...

The awards honor those who have made an unforgettable mark in the arts and showcase some of the leading creative minds in today's society.

Bravo TV just keeps getting gayer and gayer. If it's not reality programming geared toward gays, it's Kathy Griffin faking a coming out speech, or Laurel Holloman saying how nice it is to receive an award for sitting on Jennifer Beals' face.
Last night Bravo aired their annual A-List Awards, second in gay-friendliness only to the GLAAD Awards — and absolutely first in gay shenanigans.
Like, for example, the part where host Kathy Griffin announced that she is not only a friend to the gays, but also, herself, a gay.
What I need to do as an A-Lister is announce that I'm gay. So I am a lesbian. Yes, that's right: I am a lesbian. And, um, I've known since I was seven blah, blah, blah. So, anyway, I think the important thing is for me to be photographed kissing another woman.
And she did, sort of. Kathy propositioned the...

Bravo aired the 2nd Annual A-List Awards last night, and we've got a pictorial look at some of the highlights of a show filled with heartfelt emotion and stirring speeches.
Okay, actually it was just basically Night of 100 Gay Faves for no discernible reason, but that's good enough for us!
The show started with a dream sequence, as Kathy asked Fairy Godmother Roseanne for one wish: to be on the A-List, which led to the above opening number written by out songwriter Marc Shaiman (who seems to be the go-to guy for musical parody numbers). Kathy's number is no Prop 8 - The Musical or "Uncle F**ka" from South Park, but it gets the job done.
Kathy and Mom
Neil Patrick Harris winning the award for "A-List Actor"
Chelsea Handler winning the award for "A-List Funny"
Kathy with her adopted Malawi children
A Praying Mantis, Lance Bass, and the other...

Kathy Griffin won't be happy when she finds out that the Emmys Awards have eliminated the variety /comedy/music individual performance prize. That means she can possibly only contend in the program race for her latest stand-up special — "She'll Cut a Bitch" — airing tonight on Bravo. Kathy Griffin is a rarity in showbiz — she is unashamed to say how much she wants to win awards. Indeed, much of the content of her comedy routines showcased on "She'll Cut a Bitch" focuses on the behind-the-scenes shenanigans at kudofests. Griffin talks about how last year she titled her comedy album "For Your Consideration" specifically to appeal to Grammy Awards voters. The ploy worked to the degree that she landed her first Grammy nod. However, at the February ceremony, she lost to the late George Carlin, who won his fifth for "It's Bad for Ya!" Last September, both Kathy Griffin and George Carlin...

For the second year in a row, Kathy Griffin hosts her own kudos ceremony tonight -- "The A-List Awards" on Bravo (10 p.m. Edt/Pdt). How much does she adore awards, you wonder? In the past, Kathy Griffin has hauled her two Emmys for best reality program (2007, 2008) onto Craig Ferguson's TV chat show, confessing, "I even take them to the In-n-Out Burger." When she won again last year, she asked reporters backstage, "'Is it bad to say that I love this Emmy more than my family?" The A-List Awards celebrate the best in food, fashion, beauty, design and pop culture and have traditional categories like best TV show (nominees include "Gossip Girl, "Mad Men" and "30 Rock"). It also features wacky contests like best abs (Christian Bale, Tyson Beckford, David Beckham, Hugh Jackman and Matthew McConaughey compete) and best "Kate with the mostest" (Cate Blanchett, Katie Holmes, Katy Perry, Kate Winslet...

People may have been surprised to see Real Housewives of NYC Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Bensimon posing together merrily for photographs on the red carpet at Sunday's second annual Bravo A-List Awards. In a recent episode of the hit Bravo series, Kelly barked at Bethenny: "I don't like you, I don't think you're funny, I don't think you're charming. We are not friends!" Is it possible the two have reconciled? Don't bet on it... "We're here, so we've gotta put on that smile," Bethenny told us after their making nice for the photogs. "We're like oil and water.

Despite living on the D-List, Kathy Griffin hosted the Bravo A-List awards in La last night. Her recent shopping partner Paris Hilton attended with future husband (for now) Doug Reinhardt on her arm. Jenny McCarthy and Tory Spelling looked ready for spring in their short dresses while Kim Kardashian stayed on her trend of keeping it classy. Rachel Zoe, whose show we can't wait to see return, also attended, as did pregnant Ana Ortiz. The festivities got frisky and even included a goo-covered Kathy, though the fun won't be on air until April 15.

The My Life on the D-List star—who hosted the event—and the former Danity Kane songbird eschewed the traditional high five in favor of touching tongues on the red carpet. Uh, yuck? Doesn't Griffin know where O'Day's tongue has been? According to Bravo, the A-List Awards honor "those who have made an unforgettable mark in the arts and showcase some of the leading creative minds in today's society." It's uncertain how.
