That explanation only works if you completely delete that Bette has made a career out of dick jokes, and if you look at her early movies, she's pretty much
the red-haired wacky sidekick who says inappropriate things -- gee, who does that sound like? Hell, as recent as Stepford Wives (yuck) she was playing
essentially Kathy, so it's the hypocritical aspect of it, that it's just so BENEATH her because she has a Vegas show. What?!

I've been schooled on Bette enough now to know she is still a star and relevant and that she needs to loosen her depends diapers at night. |

Sorry, Tiger, I don't agree. Just because Bette's early career was a bit crass doesn't mean she should live her life that way. Has your demeanor
not changed in 20 or 30 years? And many celebrities are different off-screen than they are on-screen. The 64 year old woman was tired and hungry and, as the
previous poster pointed out, there were cameras on her. Reality television cameras! Has she ever done reality before? Maybe it was awkward for her and maybe
she was being overly guarded.

Plus, Kathy is a provocateur, people. She does things to rile people up. Come on!

I do remember one night a friend of mine put on a Bette Middler album as his way of letting me know he was gay. I can't remember what the bit or the song was- do any of you guys know what it was? Something like I am who I am or Take me for who I am I finally know? Of course I didnt get it. I wanted him for myself dammit you gays take all the good ones. |

You mean Fat As I Am?
Fat as I am. Who wants to see a diva fat as I am? I get mistaken now for Lainie Kazan. How is it that I'm fat as I am? Fat as I am. The camera's gonna add a ton to my can. This is the way they say Godzilla began. How did I get as fat as I am? "Try it again." All of my friends say I should diet again; That all my fans are gonna riot again. "Look what happened to Liz." All of my sins are not as numerous as . . . all of my chins! I could audition for the doublemint twins. No one in the biz is as fat as I is. Ah, but what's a career when you put it next to knockwurst and beer? They could park a DC10 on my rear. God knows I got the gas! There goes the chair. But to tell the truth, I'm too fat to care! I ate a meatball off the floor right over there. Ah, you don't give a damn when you're fat as I am!

Griffin: `Official Book Club Selection' is the title of my book because I'm trying to fool you into thinking it's part of the Oprah book club. It's not. Anyway, it comes out Sept. 29. And I believe it's going to be what you call a barn-burner. So we'll see who's talking to me after the book comes out. We'll see if you're even talking to me when the book comes out. Because some people, you know, they go down pretty hard. Including myself.

Of course we change over time -- no one is suggesting that she still break out the bathhouse stuff (wait, doesn't she?), but acting SO ABOVE it and SO PUT
OFF...no, I don't buy it, especially when merged with her other snotty comments. Yes, I get it, she wants to make a break with that persona. Fine, but you
can't act above something when you used to live there front and center. I would have respected her more if she'd told Kathy flat out that this dick
joke stuff has a shelf life, and Kathy would be better served doing something classier. That would have been honest and true.

Lily Tomlin was great! And how cool was Liza on the phone? I loved her Canadian gays at the end.

Besides the one fucked up tooth, the gay Canadian in the green scarf was kinda hot. Lily was awesome. Charo is fantastic, but who didn't know that?
Can't wait for the book.

Awesome episode. I was wondering if they would talk about the "incident".
