"I used to think Patricia Heaton was funny, but now I'm just grossed out by her!"

Those are the biting words of comic Kathy Griffin, who's been blasting the former "Everybody Loves Raymond" star in her new sold-out comedy tour. Griffin's taken the 48-year-old actress to task for her conservative views on subjects such as gay rights and stem cell research.

"The whole gay issue, I gotta tell you - when I hear Patricia talking her bull---- and saying it's not in the Bible that gay people should be together - those are the pieces of information that I can't forget about," said Kathy.

The self-proclaimed "D-list" star, 46, slammed Patricia at a special charity event held at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center on Dec. 7, where she made a $10,000 donation. "Kathy was ruthless about Patricia," an event attendee told The ENQUIRER. "She told the mostly gay audience that Patricia should not be trusted because she 'hates you gays.' The shocked audience gasped - it got very quiet."

Kathy went on to call Patricia a hypocrite because she hires gay hairdressers and makeup people.

"Patty Heaton has the gayest makeup person you've ever seen," Kathy told the audience. "I can't get beyond it. It's the hypocrisy."

Said the observer: "Kathy definitely opened up our eyes to what Patricia really thinks of her gay fans."

I LOVE Kathy Griffin.....and could never really put my finger on why I didn't love Patricia Heaton. Now, I know.

Fuck that bitch Patricia!!!! I hope her fake tits explode.

Thanks for making the title a bit more politically correct SVZ.

No it wasn't that, the copy and pasted title didn't make sense

to me that implies that Kathy Griffin was bashing Patricia Heaton for being gay, not for her homophobic tendencies.

Bleh ELR is off my watch list now.

LynnieD · December 27th, 2006, 08:10 PM

Yea, it didn't make sense.....maybe Kathy is trying to tell us something though?? heehehee

SVZ · December 27th, 2006, 08:11 PM

Ditto. I've never been able to stand Patricia Heaton and her holier than thou attitude.

And she had a shitload of ps and looks worse than when she started.

I was shocked that these chicks are 46 & 48 yrs old.....and neither of their faces move.

I didn't have a clue about P.H.'s politics until the past election (or was it 2004?) I liked her til then. Now, fuhgedaaboudit. I like Kathy Griffin for her sassiness and straightforward no b.s. 'tude, but I wish she would do something with her hair. I hate those bangs!

sprynkles · December 27th, 2006, 08:43 PM

I've never heard this about P.H. What has she done/said?
I must say, I know conserv. reps who are in no way homophobic.
Would a homophobe have a gay hairdresser? I'm confused?

Mira · December 27th, 2006, 08:51 PM

I wouldn't think P.H. would be homophobic enough to refuse having a gay hairdresser (or some other behind the scenes person), but she's definitely conservative in her politics. The whole stem cell thing is just illogical, IMO. It's been clearly shown that it's not newborns they would be creating the stem cells from. But my main point is, any celebrity who supports a certain party for the reasons she does is kinda nutso in my book.

Remember when Michael J. Fox did the political ad for stem cell research? I saw on youtube that Patricia Heaton did an anti stem cell research ad in opposition...that turned me off of her then already.

sprynkles · December 27th, 2006, 10:26 PM

I totally don't get that. It's more moral to flush them, then to use them to help people? OMG...what am I missing?

I'm thinking they think of stem cells like they do handing condoms out to teenagers.

If you don't allow stem cell research, somehow this will magically end abortions - just like if you don't hand out condoms, teens won't have premarital sex.

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
