Bear Chasers Rejoice As Kathy Griffin And The Woz Call It Quits

Kyle Buchanan — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 20:35:00 EDT

All good things must come to an end, and so it goes for comedienne Kathy Griffin and her bearish beau, Apple gazillionaire Steve Wozniak. Sure, we knew this day would eventually come (and that it would most likely be filmed), but you'll excuse us if we need a moment to compose ourselves before climbing back onto our Segways. In this clip from last night's My Life on The D-List, Griffin and the Woz start running down the clock on their chemistry while attending an animal benefit known as the Fur Ball (kinda like Woz himself!). Eventually, as midnight approaches, a tiara-clad Griffin must leave the Woz behind, her mascara running as her three loyal assistants turn back into mice and the Woz, sadly, becomes a penniless pumpkin.

Kathy Griffin Admits The Woz Never Got Inside Her Floppy Drive

Now that the new season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List has begun, we've had a chance to spend some quality time with the comic and her much-trotted-around billionaire boyfriend, Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak. Sure, we know the two have already broken up, but observing them interact—behold the clip above, in which a Segway training session is as tender and romantic as a shared plate of spaghetti in Lady and the Tramp—at least gave us some inkling into what made their much-buzzed about relationship work while it lasted. But now comes the shocking!—OK, not all that shocking—news that Griffin and The Woz never, you know, actually...did it. From usmagazine.com:

"We were dating, but were just friendly. I never f——d him or anything!" she told Usmagazine.com during a visit to our NYC offices last Thursday.

"The truth is," she added, "we really were friends the whole time."
She announced their split in April (they met in 2007 after he watched her perform).

After they called it quits, she said "he met someone very quickly and then they [got] engaged."

"I have had dinner with them, and she's a thousand times more appropriate!" she said. "I hate to say it, but in the Bruce, Demi, Ashton [scheme of things], I'm the Bruce!"

We doubt we'll be able to mask our disappointment that neither could satisfy one another in ways that might have ensured a lasting relationship, and who knows—maybe even some little Griffniaks down the line. Regardless of carnal knowledge, however, the bar has been set: If you expect to woo her, Miss Griffin demands nothing short of one billion dollars in liquid assets (that's what comes of learning your first husband took $72,000 out of your bank account in small ATM installments), upon which she'll gladly accept your offer for dinner, and generously overlook any obvious toupees that might have come along for the ride.

Kathy Griffin And Al Roker Lap Dance Their Way Towards A Legendary Moment In Live Television History

Molly Friedman — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:00:00 EDT

For any of you out there who still don’t “get” Kathy Griffin, we now present you with a single clip that will effectively prompt a lifelong love affair with the red-headed, fast-talking, Scientology-bashing spark plug of an entertainer that she is. On the Today Show this morning, giggly Al Roker had the pleasure of speaking with Kathy about her upcoming hosting job of Bravo’s inaugural A-List Awards and not-so-innocently asked her if there was really anything she wouldn’t do on camera, considering her reputation as a truthiness-telling comedienne who never holds back. What followed was a delicious and epic moment in television history, during which Roker was given a lap dance, off-screen staffers were overheard gasping, and images of a Roker/Matt Lauer/Halle Berry threesome in “the big bed” were thrust into our collective imagination.

After lifting our jaw off the ground upon hearing Roker's response to the Griffin bump and grind ("Anyone got any cigarettes?"), we had to relocate our jaw once again as Griffin swiftly switched subjects to her hosting gig and, in a well-executed non-seguitur, finally said what has needed to be said about to-be rap star Ali Lohan for quite some time now. Explaining that she was given the job due to Ali and Dina Lohan's conflicting schedules (a joke, people, relax), she went ahead and launched our inner monologue right out into America's eardrums: "Yeah, Ali was busy doing her hip hop CD, because, you know, she’s white and 14 and lives on Long Island, so hip hop speaks to her." Oh Kathy. What was Woz thinking?

Steve Wozniak and Kathy Griffin all broken up

Jackson West — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:40:00 EDT

Speaking to an Us Magazine reporter on Saturday, comedienne Kathy Griffin declared that she and billionaire Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak have moved to Splitsville, population: Them.

"As a matter of fact," she added, "I got an email last week from him, and he is going to marry someone else... I think he might be married. I don't really know that for sure, though."

Wow, with Wozniak's marital status up in the air even while dating, it sure comes as a surprise that the two couldn't see eye-to-eye in the relationship. It couldn't have helped that rumors suggested the notoriously flaky Woz may have held up production of episodes of Griffin's reality show "My LIfe on the D List" slated to air on Bravo. Still, they'll always have Sunnyvale. (Photo AP/Danny Moloshok)
