Kathy Griffin: A Fifth Season Of "D-List" Is Happening

Kathy Griffin Commits To A Fifth Season Of "D-List".Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, which is a relief.

There was actually some question as to whether the inimitable Kathy Griffin would do a fifth season of D-List for Bravo. While the network claimed back in September that it had locked Kathy into a deal, she subsequently told the Chicago Sun-Times that she hadn't come to terms with Bravo and was in fact talking to another cable network as well as a broadcast network.

Obviously, things ultimately worked out with Bravo because just today the network announced that it has indeed signed Kathy to a one-year deal, which she confirms, and it includes a fifth season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List and calls for her to tape two comedy specials during her current nationwide tour as well as host the A-List Awards in 2009.

Kathy tells Variety that the deal was settled after "a bloodbath negotiation where I won none of my battles."

That's hard to believe. Kathy seems like a shrewd businesswoman, and I bet she got everything she wanted and more—at least I hope so because she deserves it.

So what can we expect to see on D-List's fifth season? Kathy tells Us Weekly that it is going to be more celebrity-oriented.

Asked to name some of the celebrity guests, Kathy said, "I can't tell you, but please call Bravo! I'm actually getting a lot of people that I want to, and it's really, really exciting."

Forget the celebrities. I'm most excited to see Kathy every week when the show returns to Bravo's lineup in 2009.

How about you? Are you glad to hear that Kathy is doing more D-List for Bravo?
