Red-Headed Oprah: Woz-dating D-lister Kathy Griffin to open Mac-based girls’ school in Mexico
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - 02:09 PM EST

"Comedian Kathy Griffin [and "My Life on the D-List" star] reports she'll be heading to Mexico in April for the launch of a girls' school -- "like Oprah," she says, referring to Oprah Winfrey and her famous Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. What does Kathy aim to do? 'I thought it would be a good way to get press in Mexico. I can pass along the morals and values that are important to me in my life and get my name in the Puerto Vallarta newspaper,' she deadpans," Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith report for The National Ledger.

"But seriously, folks. It's real. 'Steve Wozniak is supplying all the equipment. When he heard about it, he came in on it, which makes it special and wonderful,' Kathy says. 'If nothing else, they'll get some Apple computers.' Griffin and the billionaire Apple Computer cofounder have been dating since last summer," Beck and Smith report.

"Mac-based girls' school in Mexico"

Woz is also providing the fire wire.

What can one say?

Why is this on MDN?

Woz isn't a billionaire. He's been enjoying his money and has spent a lot of it.

Feb 27, 08 - 02:38 pm Comment from: Ampar

"Wozniak is supplying all the equipment."

Which translated means it's a dozen hacked Apple IIs with no cases and some soldering irons.

Feb 27, 08 - 02:50 pm Comment from: R2

Will she be endorsing Obama as well?

Feb 27, 08 - 03:08 pm Comment from: Reclaimer

Kathy Griffin is a foul mouthed piece of trash.

Woz could do better.

Feb 27, 08 - 03:14 pm Comment from: Stenar

Kathy Griffin is hilarious. I love her.

Feb 27, 08 - 03:18 pm Comment from: Islandgirl

This is perfect! Kathy Griffin will be able to teach these fresh young minds the proper use and conjugation of "f..k," her favorite word.

Feb 27, 08 - 03:21 pm Comment from: iDon't

Woz is a Mac Daddy play'ya!

@Ampar re: "'Wozniak is supplying all the equipment.'" --
"...a dozen hacked Apple IIs with no cases...."

That way the cases can be used as structural elements in the building itself.

Apple and adobe -- together at last!

"Woz is a Mac Daddy play'ya!"

And since it's Mexico, they can name the school, Mac Daddy Playa for Advanced Surfing.

Monger, you make a strong case for that idea.

Feb 27, 08 - 04:02 pm Comment from: neomonkey

Kathy's favorite song - "Somebody Stop Me, Before I Tell The Truth" by the Evinrudes.

Hope I see her in PV.

Feb 27, 08 - 04:15 pm Comment from: HMCIV

I hope there isn't an inappropriate [iPod] Touching incident at THIS school. (Wow That was horrible on my part!)

Feb 27, 08 - 04:20 pm Comment from: theloniousMac

Up until just recently Kathy was a neighbor. Gave a hell of a holiday party every year. She's extremely intelligent, quick witted, and one of the nicest women I've ever met.

Woz has done well for himself.

Feb 27, 08 - 06:11 pm Comment from: Monger Wins

Hit the rim shot and lock the thread.

Feb 27, 08 - 07:42 pm Comment from: Tommyr

I'd hit it!

Feb 27, 08 - 07:52 pm Comment from: Say it aint so...

I used to respect Woz...

Feb 27, 08 - 08:44 pm Comment from: iDon't

Ampar,

Playa = beach. Si' I mean see, I know Espan-whatever.

@theloniousMac

Hey, any event I've ever worked (Video, Production, or Lighting) both Woz and KG have been class acts. Her comedy is an act. Although, some have a hard time separating the person from the act.

And I know Woz is into education.
In fact, that's his ONE BIG THING: education.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Niurka is Kathy's alternative persona?

And they say money can't buy you love.

They will probably do better than Oprah's attempt.
