“I’ve been off the junk, as I call it, for five years. I’ve had face lift, eye job and all that stuff five years ago.

“What I found, though, was that it didn’t help me one bit,” Griffin says. “It didn’t get me happier or didn’t make me look particularly younger.”

“I really thought ageism is so prevalent in Hollywood, especially in standup — it’s such a male dominated zone,” she says. “I thought, ‘Dammit, I got to do everything I can to look my best.’”

She says she later learned aging “is not really going to keep you from what you want.

“For example, if you work in an office, you’re probably going to do the same job if you’re 10 pounds heavier or lighter,” Griffin goes on. “I’m not talking about anorexia or obesity — those are obviously two different animals.

“But I spent 20 years of my life obsessing about 10, 15 pounds, and what I found as a comedian … is that nobody expected me to come out in a bikini anyway,” she says. “I’ve never lost a job because of my weight, and I’ve certainly never gotten a job because of my cosmetic surgery or my weight.”

She says she has come to accept her body over the years.

“I’ll say to my younger friends, ‘C’mon, I have a hot body, right?’ I mean, not a hot body Hollywood-style… but it’s hot for 47.

“So that’s my new thing — I like my body now,” Griffin adds. “For 47, it’s pretty darn good.

Kathy has decided to save the face. Smart move! She’s already on the cartoonish looking side. Everytime I see her, especially when she raises her eyebrows, I’m thinking OUCH! Doesn’t she look like she’s in pain and her skin is just too tight?

But her body is completely amazing for being 47. Great boobs, nice abs, thin arms and legs. Kathy’s hot; plus, when you’re funny, you don’t have to be that attractive - you get, like, 10 bonus points for being able to make people laugh.

Celebrity Smack reader ‘Lala’ attended a Kathy Griffin stand-up show a few days ago and says it was a blast.

As Lala tells it,

“First of all, it was packed with drunk queens - and of course, insane women like myself.
Kathy dished on everything. She’s met lots of stars, shared dressing rooms with them, etc.”

So what juice did Kathy share with her audience?

*She said Paris Hilton is retarded - and watching her type was like watching a bad video of a cat playing the piano. No shocker there.

*Barbara Walters said she “prefers Astroglide” when Kathy told her she plans on using KY jelly when her puss gets all menopausal. Who knew Babs preferred Astroglide?

*Paula Abdul is the new Whitney - on so many drugs, but she thinks Oxycontin is the main drug in her system, followed by several layers of other painkillers.

*At the Larry King 50th anniversary show, she saw Dr.Phil (she hates his ass) groping Jane Fonda. she almost came to Jane’s rescue , but she thought she could handle him herself. She was right - Jane told his ass off - something about hating republicans.

*She ripped Oprah a new one. Talked about how she ’s gaining her wait back, and how somewhere Gayle is shivering in the corner with a shiner. HA!

Thanks for sending those in Lala!

“I’ll just say that Barbara Walters is a very complicated woman. I like her but she doesn’t get me at all. She doesn’t even have any pretense of getting me.

I don’t play up to her or anybody because I don’t know how. My mother is always yelling at me to kiss ass! I’m really trying to learn. I wish I could tell you, ‘I know how to get Barbara Walters into the palm of my hand.’ But I just don’t have that ability. That’s why I always get into trouble.”
