KATHY GRIFFIN TACKLES BLACK WOMAN
On May 9 Bravo premieres
Kathy Griffin: Strong Black Woman, a new stand-up special in which the ribald redhead takes on Paula Abdul,
Dakota Fanning and more. (Is the title a dig at red-carpet rival
Star Jones? Hmm... ) Speaking of special specials, ABC presents
David Blaine: Drowned Alive on May 8, while NBC has booked the 55th-annual Miss Universe competition for July 23 — so break out the Vaseline and start practicing that hand-waving.
