CNN keeping Kathy Griffin on a short leash for New Year's Eve broadcast
Kathy Griffin is never one to apologize for her antics, but she will be the first to admit her surprise at being asked to return as Anderson Cooper's co-host for CNN's New Year's Eve countdown.
As she rang in 2010, the comedienne dropped more than just the ball in Times Square. Griffin let an F-bomb slip while discussing Falcon "Balloon Boy" Heene.
On Howard Stern's radio show Tuesday (Dec. 21),
Griffin told the shock jock that "they're going to pull me from the
air" if any curse words slip out. She says there is a clause in
her contract banning those four letter words.
We doubt a contract is going to get the fiery redhead to filter her foul mouth, but maybe that silver fox will be able to.
A friend of Griffin's tells Popeater, "She has a lot of respect for [Cooper] and doesn't want to let him down."
Despite
her relationship with Cooper, we're not sure the outspoken hostess will
be able to turn down such a controversial opportunity. What do you
think?
Will Griffin slip up on accident? On purpose? Or (and least likely) will she maintain good behavior through the night?

This is her FOURTH year with Anderson, so I'm sure CNN isn't too concerned. Besides with their ratings being lower than a cable access station, does it really matter?
If she really had any respect for him, she'd turn down the job.
She'll be on a short leash? Woof Woof!
She's going to keep it clean? She's finally going to take a bath?
She'll be hilariously crude and offense regardless of the swears.
I respect and enjoy Anderson's work - always have. But I refuse to watch CNN, most any time, but because they allow and endure the antics of Kathy Griffin every year for quite a while. She says she does, but has way too little respect for Anderson, or anyone else, for that matter. CNN - rid yourself of that twit.
