Shock! Kathy Griffin Swears Live On CNN NYE

I was going to wait until Monday before I resumed blogging, but I couldn't resist this funny news item. And while it's January 2, there are still well over 300 news outlets/blogs reporting on Kathy Griffin cussing the second year in a row during the CNN's NYE live broadcast with co-host Anderson Cooper from Times Square. 

What cracks me up is the network response. From the Washington Post

...The network said in a statement Friday that it "regrets that profanity was used during our New Year's Eve coverage."...


C'mon... although we all know they have to say this publicly, we also know CNN is loving the ratings/publicity/web hits.

Will CNN be fined? My guess is no. Will Griffin return next year same place, same time to co-host with Anderson Cooper? My guess is yes. Will Kathy Griffin cuss again? Of course.

As a HUGE Courtney Love & Hole/Cobain & Nirvana fan, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this recent news item about Courtney Love and her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain: From TMZ, a restraining order has been issued which prohibits Courtney having contact with her daughter. 

My photo of Courtney and Frances was taken back in 2006 at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Show in Culver City.

And it just so happens they are two of my favorite actors. It was good to photograph them both at the recent premiere of "Crazy Heart" in Los Angeles.

A friend of mine emailed me this morning and asked, “What’s with the Mark Savage photo blog? You aren’t posting….” Guilty as charged. I was crazy busy last week. It was a fine mix of actor’s head shots and executive headshots, public relations coverage, Grammy Award Nominations, and movie premieres.
